              ENUM Validation Token Format Definition

Status of This Memo

 This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
 Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
 improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
 Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
 and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

 An ENUM domain name is tightly coupled with the underlying E.164
 number.  The process of verifying whether the Registrant of an ENUM
 domain name is identical to the Assignee of the corresponding E.164
 number is commonly called "validation".  This document describes a
 signed XML data format -- the Validation Token -- with which
 Validation Entities can convey successful completion of a validation
 procedure in a secure fashion.

Lendl Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 5105 ENUM Validation Token December 2007

1. Introduction

 In the case where an ENUM (E.164 Number Mapping [1]) domain name
 corresponds to an existing E.164 number [2], the delegation of this
 domain needs to be authorized by the Assignee of the corresponding
 E.164 number.  In the role model described in [15], the entity that
 performs this check is called the Validation Entity (VE).
 By conveying an ENUM Validation Token -- a signed XML document -- to
 the Registry, a VE certifies that delegation requirements have been
 met and are current.
 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [3].

2. Data Requirements

 In this model, the Token is the only piece of data passed from the VE
 to the Registry.  Therefore, the Token needs to contain at least as
 much information as the Registry requires to grant the delegation of
 the requested ENUM domain according to its registration policy.  As
 such, the Registry will need confirmation that:
 o  the Token was created by an accredited VE,
 o  the Token's duration of validity conforms to the policy,
 o  the validation procedure employed has met minimum requirements as
    set forth by policy,
 o  and that the Token is protected against tampering and replay
    attacks.
 Beyond such mandatory information, the Token may optionally include
 number holder information, in particular, to simplify future
 revalidations.
 For example, if initial validation requires the steps "Check the
 identity of the Registrant" and "Check the ownership of an E.164
 number", then a later revalidation only needs to re-check the
 ownership as the identity of the Registrant does not change.
 As the Token will be included (see e.g., [16]) in XML-based Registry/
 Registrar protocols like the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
 [13], it is a natural choice to use XML to encode Validation Tokens.

Lendl Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 5105 ENUM Validation Token December 2007

3. Digital Signature

 According to the architecture model the propriety of an ENUM
 delegation depends on the trust relationship between the Registry and
 the VE.  In general, an untrusted link between the Registry and VE
 should be assumed (for instance, the Token is passed along with the
 registration request by a Registrar, who might have no role in
 asserting the right-to-use).  Therefore, the Token must be protected
 against forgery, tampering, and replay-attacks.
 A digital signature on the token:
 o  asserts that the token was indeed generated by the indicated VE
    (authenticity).
 o  guarantees that the token was not tampered with in transit
    (integrity).
 o  enables auditing the validation process (non-repudiation).
 The cryptographic signature on the token follows RFC 3275 (XML-DSIG
 [4]).  As tokens might be transmitted as part of an already XML based
 protocol, the exclusive XML canonicalization [9] MUST be used.  This
 transform guarantees that namespace declarations inherited from the
 surrounding XML do not invalidate the signature.  In order to make
 the signature an integral part of the token, the
 "enveloped"-signature mode is employed.  The signature covers all
 information contained in the Token.
 XML-DSIG offers a number of cryptographic algorithms for digesting
 and signing documents and recommends SHA1/RSA-SHA1.  Recent advances
 in cryptanalysis have cast doubt on the security of SHA1, thus
 rendering this recommendation obsolete (see e.g., the Security
 Considerations of [14]).  RFC 4051 [5] defines how additional
 algorithms can be used with XML-DSIG.
 Validation Entities MUST be able to sign tokens according to
 XML-DSIG, MUST support RSA-SHA1 and RSA-SHA256 [5], MUST support RSA
 key sizes of 1024 and 2048 bits, and MUST be able to embed X.509 [10]
 certificates.  The Registry MUST define which signature algorithms
 and key sizes it will accept in Validation Tokens as part of its
 local policy.
 The choice of a RSA-based signature does not require a public key
 infrastructure.  Whether the Registry acts as a certification
 authority, accepts certs from a public certification authority, or
 only accepts pre-registered keys is a local policy choice.

Lendl Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 5105 ENUM Validation Token December 2007

4. Field Descriptions

 The Validation Token is structured into three parts: the basic
 validation information, additional information about the Registrant,
 and the digital signature.  The XML schema can be found in Section 6.

4.1. The <validation> Element

 A token MUST contain a <validation> element that contains the
 following:
 o  A single validation "serial" attribute identifying a validation
    token for a certain VE.  It must be unique per VE.
 o  A single <E164Number> element containing the underlying E.164
    number in fully qualified (international) format.
 o  An optional <lastE164Number> element.  If present, it indicates
    that the whole number block starting with <E164Number> up to and
    including <lastE164Number> has been validated.  To avoid
    ambiguity, both numbers MUST be of the same length.
 o  A single <validationEntityID> element identifying the VE.
 o  A single <registrarID> element identifying the Registrar on whose
    behalf the validation was performed.
 o  A single <methodID> element identifying the method used by the VE
    for validation.
 o  A single <executionDate> attribute containing the date of
    validation formatted as "full-date" according to RFC 3339 [6].
 o  An optional <expirationDate> attribute marking the expiration date
    of the validation token formatted as "full-date" according to RFC
    3339.  The Registry will automatically revoke the delegation at
    this date unless a new Token has been submitted that extends the
    lifetime of the validation.  A missing <expirationDate> indicates
    infinite validity of the Token.
 The format and the uniqueness-constraints of these IDs is left to the
 local policy of the Registry.

Lendl Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 5105 ENUM Validation Token December 2007

4.2. The <tokendata> Element

 A token may contain a <tokendata> section containing information
 about the number holder, consisting of the following elements:
 o  A single <organization> element containing the full name of the
    organization to which the Registrant is affiliated.
 o A single <commercialregisternumber> element.  If the Registrant is
    a company, then this field can be used to uniquely identify this
    company by its official registration number within the local
    country.  The interpretation of this field is thus
    country-specific.
 o  A single <title> element.
 o  A single <firstname> element.
 o  A single <lastname> element.
 o  A single <address> section containing the following elements:
    *  A single optional <streetName>
    *  A single optional <houseNumber>
    *  A single optional <postalCode>
    *  A single optional <locality>
    *  A single optional <countyStateOrProvince>
    *  A single optional <ISOcountryCode>
 o  Up to 10 <phone> elements containing full E.164 numbers.
 o  Up to 10 <fax> elements containing full E.164 numbers.
 o  Up to 10 <email> elements.
 All elements directly under <tokendata> are optional.  The
 <ISOcountryCode> element specifies the country using the alpha-2
 country code from ISO 3166-1:2006 [11] (including updates published
 by the 3166 Maintenance Agency).  The definition of the first five
 elements within the <address> element conforms to the second version
 of the E.115 Computerized Directory Assistance [17].

5. Examples

5.1. Unsigned Token without Registrant Information

 This basic Token without any information about the Registrant and
 without the cryptographic signature shows the basic layout of the
 Token.
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no" ?>
 <token xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:enum-token-1.0" Id="TOKEN"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation=
  "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:enum-token-1.0 enum-token-1.0.xsd">
   <validation serial="acmeve-000002">
     <E164Number>+442079460200</E164Number>
     <lastE164Number>+442079460499</lastE164Number>
     <validationEntityID>ACME-VE</validationEntityID>
     <registrarID>reg-4711</registrarID>
     <methodID>42</methodID>
     <executionDate>2007-05-08</executionDate>
     <expirationDate>2007-11-01</expirationDate>
   </validation>
 </token>

5.2. Signed Token

 This example uses an X.509 based signature that includes the
 certificate of the signing validation entity.  Thus, the validity of
 the signature can be verified without the need for a key-server.  A
 valid signature is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for a
 valid Token.  Any entity evaluating a Token needs to check other
 factors as well, e.g., the certificate and the XML schema.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no" ?> <token xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:enum-token-1.0" Id="TOKEN" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation= "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:enum-token-1.0 enum-token-1.0.xsd">

<validation serial="acmeve-000001">

  <validationEntityID>ACME-VE</validationEntityID>
  <registrarID>reg-4711</registrarID>
  <methodID>42</methodID>
  <executionDate>2007-05-08</executionDate>
</validation>
<tokendata xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:enum-tokendata-1.0"
 xsi:schemaLocation=
 "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:enum-tokendata-1.0 enum-tokendata-1.0.xsd">

6. Formal Syntax

 The formal syntax of the validation token is specified using XML
 schema notation [7] [8].  Two schemas are defined: The "token core
 schema" contains mandatory attribute definitions, and the "token data
 schema" defines the format of the optional "tokendata" section.  The
 BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schema; they are used to note
 the beginning and ending of the schema for URI registration purposes.

7. Other Applications of the Token Concept

 The concept of the validation token may be useful in other
 registry-type applications where the proof of an underlying right is
 a condition for a valid registration.
 An example is a Top Level Domain (TLD) where registration is subject
 to proof of some precondition, like a trade mark or the right in a
 name.  Such situations often arise during the introduction of a new
 TLD, e.g., during a "sunrise" phase.
 A Number Portability (NP) database faces very similar verification
 issues.  An NP system based on the Token concept could potentially be
 superior to current methods, and aid in the convergence of NP and
 ENUM.

8. IANA Considerations

 This document uses Uniform Resource Names (URNs) to describe XML
 namespaces and XML schemas conforming to a registry mechanism
 described in RFC 3688 [12].  IANA has made the following four URI
 assignments.

Lendl Standards Track [Page 12] RFC 5105 ENUM Validation Token December 2007

 1.  Registration for the Token namespace:
     *  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:enum-token-1.0
     *  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
        document.
     *  XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML
        specification.
 2.  Registration for the Token XML schema:
     *  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:enum-token-1.0
     *  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
        document.
     *  XML: See Section 6.1 of this document.
 3.  Registration for the Token Data namespace:
     *  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:enum-tokendata-1.0
     *  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
        document.
     *  XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML
        specification.
 4.  Registration for the Token Data XML schema:
     *  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:enum-tokendata-1.0
     *  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
        document.
     *  XML: See Section 6.2 of this document.
 The IDs used in the validationEntityID, RegistrarID, and methodID
 elements are subject to local policy and thus do not require IANA
 registration.

9. Security Considerations

 The security of the Validation Token depends on the security of the
 underlying XML DSIG algorithms.  As such, all the security
 considerations from [4] apply here as well.  Two points from [4]
 merit repetition:
 Transforms are used to select the relevant data for signing and
 discarding irrelevant information (e.g., pretty-printing and
 name-space local names).
 The <Reference URI="#TOKEN"> element and attribute combined with the
 Id="TOKEN" attribute in <token> specifies that the signature should
 cover the complete token.  Moving the Id="TOKEN" attribute to e.g.,
 the <tokendata> element would make the signature worthless.

Lendl Standards Track [Page 13] RFC 5105 ENUM Validation Token December 2007

 It is thus critical that the Registry not only checks whether the
 Token passes a generic XML-DSIG signature check, but also that:
    1.  the signature uses approved transforms and cryptographic
        algorithms.
    2.  the signature references the <token> element.
    3.  the key used in the signature belongs to an accredited VE.
 The Token content is not encrypted.  If local policy dictates that
 the information contained within the token should be confidential,
 then this has to be handled through a different mechanism.
 When processing a delegation request, the Registry MUST verify that
 the information contained in the Token matches the delegation
 request.  The <registrarID> element in the Token prevents a malicious
 second Registrar from using an eavesdropped Token to register a
 domain in his name.  The Registry MUST verify that the
 <expirationDate> given (including the case of no given expiration
 date) conforms to the Registry's policy.  To avert replay attacks,
 local policy MUST specify how long after <executionDate> the Token
 can be used to authorize a delegation.
