1. Introduction
The "amr" (Authentication Methods References) claim is defined and
registered in the IANA "JSON Web Token Claims" registry
[IANA.JWT.Claims] but no standard Authentication Method Reference
values are currently defined. This specification establishes a
registry for Authentication Method Reference values and defines an
initial set of Authentication Method Reference values.
For context, the "amr" (Authentication Methods References) claim is
defined by Section 2 of the OpenID Connect Core 1.0 specification
[OpenID.Core] as follows:
amr
OPTIONAL. Authentication Methods References. JSON array of
strings that are identifiers for authentication methods used in
the authentication. For instance, values might indicate that both
password and OTP authentication methods were used. The definition
of particular values to be used in the "amr" Claim is beyond the
scope of this specification. Parties using this claim will need
to agree upon the meanings of the values used, which may be
Jones, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Authentication Method Reference Values March 2017
context-specific. The "amr" value is an array of case sensitive
strings.
Each "amr" value typically provides an identifier for a family of
closely-related authentication methods. For example, the "otp"
identifier intentionally covers both time-based and HMAC-based OTPs.
Many relying parties will be content to know that an OTP has been
used in addition to a password; the distinction between which kind of
OTP was used is not useful to them. Thus, there's a single
identifier that can be satisfied in two or more nearly equivalent
ways.
Similarly, there's a whole range of nuances between different
fingerprint matching algorithms. They differ in false positive and
false negative rates over different population samples and also
differ based on the kind and model of fingerprint sensor used. Like
the OTP case, many relying parties will be content to know that a
fingerprint match mas made, without delving into and differentiating
based on every aspect of the implementation of fingerprint capture
and match. The "fpt" identifier accomplishes this.
Ultimately, the relying party is depending upon the identity provider
to do reasonable things. If it does not trust the identity provider
to do so, it has no business using it. The "amr" value lets the
identity provider signal to the relying party additional information
about what it did, for the cases in which that information is useful
to the relying party.
The "amr" values defined by this specification are not intended to be
an exhaustive set covering all use cases. Additional values can and
will be added to the registry by other specifications. Rather, the
values defined herein are an intentionally small set that are already
actually being used in practice.
The values defined by this specification only make distinctions that
are known to be useful to relying parties. Slicing things more
finely than would be used in practice would actually hurt interop,
rather than helping it, because it would force relying parties to
recognize that several or many different values actually mean the
same thing to them.
For context, while the claim values registered pertain to
authentication, note that OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] is designed for
resource authorization and cannot be used for authentication without
employing appropriate extensions, such as those defined by OpenID
Connect Core 1.0 [OpenID.Core]. The existence of the "amr" claim and
values for it should not be taken as encouragement to try to use
Jones, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Authentication Method Reference Values March 2017
OAuth 2.0 for authentication without employing extensions enabling
secure authentication to be performed.
When used with OpenID Connect, if the identity provider supplies an
"amr" claim in the ID Token resulting from a successful
authentication, the relying party can inspect the values returned and
thereby learn details about how the authentication was performed.
For instance, the relying party might learn that only a password was
used or it might learn that iris recognition was used in combination
with a hardware-secured key. Whether "amr" values are provided and
which values are understood by what parties are both beyond the scope
of this specification. The OpenID Connect MODRNA Authentication
Profile 1.0 [OpenID.MODRNA] is one example of an application context
that uses "amr" values defined by this specification.
1.1. Requirements Notation and Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC
2119 [RFC2119].
1.2. Terminology
This specification uses the terms defined by JSON Web Token (JWT)
[JWT] and OpenID Connect Core 1.0 [OpenID.Core].
2. Authentication Method Reference Values
The following is a list of Authentication Method Reference values
defined by this specification:
face
Biometric authentication [RFC4949] using facial recognition
fpt
Biometric authentication [RFC4949] using a fingerprint
geo
Use of geolocation information for authentication, such as that
provided by [W3C.REC-geolocation-API-20161108]
hwk
Proof-of-possession (PoP) of a hardware-secured key. See
Appendix C of [RFC4211] for a discussion on PoP.
iris
Biometric authentication [RFC4949] using an iris scan
Jones, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Authentication Method Reference Values March 2017
kba
Knowledge-based authentication [NIST.800-63-2] [ISO29115]
mca
Multiple-channel authentication [MCA]. The authentication
involves communication over more than one distinct communication
channel. For instance, a multiple-channel authentication might
involve both entering information into a workstation's browser and
providing information on a telephone call to a pre-registered
number.
mfa
Multiple-factor authentication [NIST.800-63-2] [ISO29115]. When
this is present, specific authentication methods used may also be
included.
otp
One-time password [RFC4949]. One-time password specifications
that this authentication method applies to include [RFC4226] and
[RFC6238].
pin
Personal Identification Number (PIN) [RFC4949] or pattern (not
restricted to containing only numbers) that a user enters to
unlock a key on the device. This mechanism should have a way to
deter an attacker from obtaining the PIN by trying repeated
guesses.
pwd
Password-based authentication [RFC4949]
rba
Risk-based authentication [JECM]
retina
Biometric authentication [RFC4949] using a retina scan
sc
Smart card [RFC4949]
sms
Confirmation using SMS [SMS] text message to the user at a
registered number
swk
Proof-of-possession (PoP) of a software-secured key. See
Appendix C of [RFC4211] for a discussion on PoP.
Jones, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Authentication Method Reference Values March 2017
tel
Confirmation by telephone call to the user at a registered number.
This authentication technique is sometimes also referred to as
"call back" [RFC4949].
user
User presence test. Evidence that the end-user is present and
interacting with the device. This is sometimes also referred to
as "test of user presence" [W3C.WD-webauthn-20170216].
vbm
Biometric authentication [RFC4949] using a voiceprint
wia
Windows integrated authentication [MSDN]
3. Relationship to "acr" (Authentication Context Class Reference)
The "acr" (Authentication Context Class Reference) claim and
"acr_values" request parameter are related to the "amr"
(Authentication Methods References) claim, but with important
differences. An Authentication Context Class specifies a set of
business rules that authentications are being requested to satisfy.
These rules can often be satisfied by using a number of different
specific authentication methods, either singly or in combination.
Interactions using "acr_values" request that the specified
Authentication Context Classes be used and that the result should
contain an "acr" claim saying which Authentication Context Class was
satisfied. The "acr" claim in the reply states that the business
rules for the class were satisfied -- not how they were satisfied.
In contrast, interactions using the "amr" claim make statements about
the particular authentication methods that were used. This tends to
be more brittle than using "acr", since the authentication methods
that may be appropriate for a given authentication will vary over
time, both because of the evolution of attacks on existing methods
and the deployment of new authentication methods.
4. Privacy Considerations
The list of "amr" claim values returned in an ID Token reveals
information about the way that the end-user authenticated to the
identity provider. In some cases, this information may have privacy
implications.
While this specification defines identifiers for particular kinds of
credentials, it does not define how these credentials are stored or
protected. For instance, ensuring the security and privacy of
Jones, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Authentication Method Reference Values March 2017
biometric credentials that are referenced by some of the defined
Authentication Method Reference values is beyond the scope of this
specification.
5. Security Considerations
The security considerations in OpenID Connect Core 1.0 [OpenID.Core]
and OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] and the OAuth 2.0 Threat Model [RFC6819]
apply to applications using this specification.
As described in Section 3, taking a dependence upon particular
authentication methods may result in brittle systems since the
authentication methods that may be appropriate for a given
authentication will vary over time.
6. IANA Considerations
6.1. Authentication Method Reference Values Registry
This specification establishes the IANA "Authentication Method
Reference Values" registry for "amr" claim array element values. The
registry records the Authentication Method Reference value and a
reference to the specification that defines it. This specification
registers the Authentication Method Reference values defined in
Section 2.
Values are registered on an Expert Review [RFC5226] basis after a
three-week review period on the jwt-reg-review@ietf.org mailing list,
on the advice of one or more Designated Experts. To increase
potential interoperability, the experts are requested to encourage
registrants to provide the location of a publicly-accessible
specification defining the values being registered, so that their
intended usage can be more easily understood.
Registration requests sent to the mailing list for review should use
an appropriate subject (e.g., "Request to register Authentication
Method Reference value: otp").
Within the review period, the Designated Experts will either approve
or deny the registration request, communicating this decision to the
review list and IANA. Denials should include an explanation and, if
applicable, suggestions as to how to make the request successful.
Registration requests that are undetermined for a period longer than
21 days can be brought to the IESG's attention (using the
iesg@ietf.org mailing list) for resolution.
Jones, et al. Expires September 14, 2017 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Authentication Method Reference Values March 2017
IANA must only accept registry updates from the Designated Experts
and should direct all requests for registration to the review mailing
list.
It is suggested that the same Designated Experts evaluate these
registration requests as those who evaluate registration requests for
the IANA "JSON Web Token Claims" registry [IANA.JWT.Claims].
Criteria that should be applied by the Designated Experts includes
determining whether the proposed registration duplicates existing
functionality, whether it is likely to be of general applicability or
whether it is useful only for a single application, whether the value
is actually being used, and whether the registration description is
clear.
6.1.1. Registration Template
Authentication Method Reference Name:
The name requested (e.g., "otp") for the authentication method or
family of closely-related authentication methods. Because a core
goal of this specification is for the resulting representations to
be compact, it is RECOMMENDED that the name be short -- that is,
not to exceed 8 characters without a compelling reason to do so.
To facilitate interoperability, the name must use only printable
ASCII characters excluding double quote ('"') and backslash ('\')
(the Unicode characters with code points U+0021, U+0023 through
U+005B, and U+005D through U+007E). This name is case sensitive.
Names may not match other registered names in a case-insensitive
manner unless the Designated Experts state that there is a
compelling reason to allow an exception.
Authentication Method Reference Description:
Brief description of the Authentication Method Reference (e.g.,
"One-time password").
Change Controller:
For Standards Track RFCs, state "IESG". For others, give the name
of the responsible party. Other details (e.g., postal address,
email address, home page URI) may also be included.
Specification Document(s):
Reference to the document or documents that specify the parameter,
preferably including URIs that can be used to retrieve copies of
the documents. An indication of the relevant sections may also be
included but is not required.
