Domain Name Associations (DNA) in the Extensible Messaging and Presence
                            Protocol (XMPP)
                      draft-saintandre-xmpp-dna-02

Abstract

   This document improves the security of the Extensible Messaging and
   Presence Protocol (XMPP) in two ways.  First, it specifies how
   "prooftypes" can establish a strong association between a domain name
   and an XML stream.  Second, it describes how to securely delegate a
   source domain to a derived domain, which is especially important in
   virtual hosting environments.

1.  Introduction

   The need to establish a strong association between a domain name and
   an XML stream arises in both client-to-server and server-to-server
   communication using the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol
   (XMPP), because XMPP servers are typically identified by DNS domain
   names.  However, a client or peer server needs to verify the identity
   of a server to which it connects.  To date, such verification has
   been established based on information obtained from the Domain Name
   System (DNS), the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), or similar
   sources.  This document (1) generalizes the model currently in use so
   that additional prooftypes can be defined, (2) provides a basis for
   modernizing some prooftypes to reflect progress in underlying
   technologies such as DNS Security [RFC4033], and (3) describes the
   flow of operations for establishing a domain name association.

   Furthermore, the process for resolving the domain name of an XMPP
   service into the IP address at which an XML stream will be negotiated
   (defined in [RFC6120]) can involve delegation of a source domain
   (say, example.com) to a derived domain (say, hosting.example.net).
   If such delegation is not done in a secure manner, then the domain
   name association cannot be authenticated.  Therefore, this document
   provides guidelines for defining secure delegation methods.

2.  Terminology

   This document inherits XMPP terminology from [RFC6120] and
   [XEP-0220], DNS terminology from [RFC1034], [RFC1035], [RFC2782] and
   [RFC4033], and security terminology from [RFC4949] and [RFC5280].
   The terms "source domain", "derived domain", "reference identity",
   and "presented identity" are used as defined in the "CertID"
   specification [RFC6125].  The terms "permissive federation",
   "verified federation", and "encrypted federation" are derived from
   [XEP-0238], although we substitute the term "authenticated
   federation" for the term "trusted federation" from that document.

3.  Flow Chart

   The following flow chart illustrates the protocol flow for
   establishing domain name associations between Server A and Server B,
   as described in the remaining sections of this document.

4.  A Simple Scenario

   To illustrate the problem, consider the simplified order of events
   (see [RFC6120] for details) in establishing an XML stream between
   Server A (a.example) and Server B (b.example):

   1.  Server A resolves the DNS domain name b.example.




Saint-Andre & Miller    Expires October 17, 2013                [Page 5]

Internet-Draft                  XMPP DNA                      April 2013


   2.  Server A opens a TCP connection to the resolved IP address.

   3.  Server A sends an initial stream header to Server B, asserting
       that it is a.example:

       <stream:stream from='a.example' to='b.example'>

   4.  Server B sends a response stream header to Server A, asserting
       that it is b.example:

       <stream:stream from='b.example' to='a.example'>

   5.  The servers attempt TLS negotiation, during which Server B
       (acting as a TLS server) presents a PKIX certificate proving that
       it is b.example and Server A (acting as a TLS client) presents a
       PKIX certificate proving that it is a.example.

   6.  Server A checks the PKIX certificate that Server B provided and
       Server B checks the PKIX certificate that Server A provided; if
       these proofs are consistent with the XMPP profile of the matching
       rules from [RFC6125], each server accepts that there is a strong
       domain name association between its stream to the other party and
       the DNS domain name of the other party.

   Several simplifying assumptions underlie the happy scenario just
   outlined:

   o  Server A presents a PKIX certificate during TLS negotiation, which
      enables the parties to complete mutual authentication.

   o  There are no additional domains associated with Server A and
      Server B (say, a subdomain chatrooms.a.example on Server A or a
      second domain c.example on Server B).

   o  The server administrators are able to obtain PKIX certificates in
      the first place.

   o  The server administrators are running their own XMPP servers,
      rather than using hosting services.

   Let's consider each of these "wrinkles" in turn.

5.  One-Way Authentication

   If Server A does not present its PKIX certificate during TLS
   negotiation (perhaps because it wishes to verify the identity of
   Server B before presenting its own credentials), Server B is unable
   to mutually authenticate Server A.  Therefore, Server B needs to

Internet-Draft                  XMPP DNA                      April 2013


   negotiate and authenticate a stream to Server A, just as Server A has
   done:

   1.  Server B resolves the DNS domain name a.example.

   2.  Server B opens a TCP connection to the resolved IP address.

   3.  Server B sends an initial stream header to Server A, asserting
       that it is b.example:

       <stream:stream from='b.example' to='a.example'>

   4.  Server A sends a response stream header to Server B, asserting
       that it is a.example:

       <stream:stream from='a.example' to='b.example'>

   5.  The servers attempt TLS negotiation, during which Server A
       (acting as a TLS server) presents a PKIX certificate proving that
       it is a.example.

   6.  Server B checks the PKIX certificate that Server A provided; if
       it is consistent with the XMPP profile of the matching rules from
       [RFC6125], Server B accepts that there is a strong domain name
       association between its stream to Server A and the DNS domain
       name a.example.

   Unfortunately, now the servers are using two TCP connections instead
   of one, which is somewhat wasteful.  However, there are ways to tie
   the authentication achieved on the second TCP connection to the first
   TCP connection; see [XEP-0288] for further discussion.

6.  Piggybacking

6.1.  Assertion

   Consider the common scenario in which Server B hosts not only
   b.example but also a second domain c.example.  If a user of Server B
   associated with c.example wishes to communicate with a friend at
   a.example, Server B needs to send XMPP stanzas from the domain
   c.example rather than b.example.  Although Server B could open an new
   TCP connection and negotiate new XML streams for the domain pair of
   c.example and a.example, that too is wasteful.  Server B already has
   a connection to a.example, so how can it assert that it would like to
   add a new domain pair to the existing connection?

   The traditional method for doing so is the Server Dialback protocol,
   first specified in [RFC3920] and since moved to [XEP-0220].  Here,



Saint-Andre & Miller    Expires October 17, 2013                [Page 7]

Internet-Draft                  XMPP DNA                      April 2013


   Server B can send a <db:result/> element for the new domain pair over
   the existing stream.

    <db:result from='c.example' to='a.example'>
      some-dialback-key
    </db:result>


   This element functions as Server B's assertion that it is (also)
   c.example, and thus is functionally equivalent to the 'from' address
   of an initial stream header as previously described.

   In response to this assertion, Server A needs to obtain some kind of
   proof that Server B really is also c.example.  It can do the same
   thing that it did before:

   1.  Server A resolves the DNS domain name c.example.

   2.  Server A opens a TCP connection to the resolved IP address (which
       might be the same IP address as for b.example).

   3.  Server A sends an initial stream header to Server B, asserting
       that it is a.example:

       <stream:stream from='a.example' to='c.example'>

   4.  Server B sends a response stream header to Server A, asserting
       that it is c.example:

       <stream:stream from='c.example' to='a.example'>

   5.  The servers attempt TLS negotiation, during which Server B
       (acting as a TLS server) presents a PKIX certificate proving that
       it is c.example.

   6.  Server A checks the PKIX certificate that Server B provided; if
       it is consistent with the XMPP profile of the matching rules from
       [RFC6125], Server A accepts that there is a strong domain name
       association between its stream to Server B and the DNS domain
       name c.example.

   Now that Server A accepts the domain name association, it informs
   Server B of that fact:

    <db:result from='a.example' to='c.example' type='valid'/>

Internet-Draft                  XMPP DNA                      April 2013


   The parties can then terminate the second connection, since it was
   used only for Server A to associate a stream over the same IP:port
   combination with the domain name c.example (dialback key links the
   original stream to the new association).

6.2.  Supposition

   Piggybacking can also occur in the other direction.  Consider the
   common scenario in which Server A provides XMPP services not only for
   a.example but also for a subdomain such as a groupchat service at
   chatrooms.a.example (see [XEP-0045]).  If a user from c.example at
   Server B wishes to join a room on the groupchat sevice, Server B
   needs to send XMPP stanzas from the domain c.example to the domain
   chatrooms.a.example rather than a.example.  Therefore, Server B needs
   to negotiate and authenticate a stream to chatrooms.a.example:

   1.  Server B resolves the DNS domain name chatrooms.a.example.

   2.  Server B opens a TCP connection to the resolved IP address.

   3.  Server B sends an initial stream header to Server A acting as
       chatrooms.a.example, asserting that it is b.example:

       <stream:stream from='b.example' to='chatrooms.a.example'>

   4.  Server A sends a response stream header to Server B, asserting
       that it is chatrooms.a.example:

       <stream:stream from='chatrooms.a.example' to='b.example'>

   5.  The servers attempt TLS negotiation, during which Server A
       (acting as a TLS server) presents a PKIX certificate proving that
       it is chatrooms.a.example.

   6.  Server B checks the PKIX certificate that Server A provided; if
       it is consistent with the XMPP profile of the matching rules from
       [RFC6125], Server B accepts that there is a strong domain name
       association between its stream to Server A and the DNS domain
       name chatrooms.a.example.

   As before, the parties now have two TCP connections open.  So that
   they can close the now-redundant connection, Server B sends a
   dialback key to Server A over the new connection.

    <db:result from='c.example' to='chatrooms.a.example'>
      some-dialback-key
    </db:result>

   Server A then informs Server B that it accepts the domain name
   association:

    <db:result from='chatrooms.a.example' to='c.example' type='valid'/>


   Server B can now close the connection over which it tested the domain
   name association for chatrooms.a.example.

7.  Alternative Prooftypes

   The foregoing protocol flows assumed that domain name associations
   were proved using the standard PKI prooftype specified in [RFC6120]:
   that is, the server's proof consists of a PKIX certificate that is
   checked according to a profile of the matching rules from [RFC6125],
   the client's verification material is obtained out of band in the
   form of a trusted root, and secure DNS is not necessary.

   However, sometimes XMPP server administrators are unable or unwilling
   to obtain valid PKIX certificates for their servers (e.g., the
   administrator of im.cs.podunk.example can't receive certification
   authority verification messages sent to
   mailto:hostmaster@podunk.example, or hosting.example.net does not
   want to take on the liability of holding the certificate and private
   key for example.com).  In these circumstances, prooftypes other than
   PKIX are desirable.  Two alternatives have been defined so far: DANE
   and POSH.

7.1.  DANE

   In the DANE prooftype, the server's proof consists of a PKIX
   certificate that is compared as an exact match or a hash of either
   the SubjectPublicKeyInfo or the full certificate, and the client's
   verification material is obtained via secure DNS.

   The DANE prooftype is based on [I-D.ietf-dane-srv].  For XMPP
   purposes, the following rules apply:

   o  If there is no SRV resource record, pursue the fallback methods
      described in [RFC6120].

   o  The 'to' address of the initial stream header SHOULD be used to
      determine the domain name of the TLS client's reference
      identifier, whereas use of the TLS Server Name Indication is
      OPTIONAL (as previously discussed in [RFC6120]).

7.2.  POSH

Internet-Draft                  XMPP DNA                      April 2013


   In the POSH (PKIX Over Secure HTTP) prooftype, the server's proof
   consists of a PKIX certificate that is checked according to the rules
   from [RFC6120] and [RFC6125], the client's verification material is
   obtained by retrieving the PKIK certificate over HTTPS at a well-
   known URI [RFC5785], and secure DNS is not necessary since the HTTPS
   retrieval mechanism relies on the chain of trust from the public key
   infrastructure.

   POSH is fully defined in [I-D.miller-xmpp-posh-prooftype].

8.  Secure Delegation and Multi-Tenancy

   One common method for deploying XMPP services is multi-tenancy or
   virtual hosting: e.g., the XMPP service for example.com is actually
   hosted at hosting.example.net.  Such an arrangement is relatively
   convenient in XMPP given the use of DNS SRV records [RFC2782], such
   as the following pointer from example.com to hosting.example.net:

   _xmpp-server._tcp.example.com. 0 IN SRV 0 0 5269 hosting.example.net


   Secure connections with multi-tenancy can work using the PKIX
   prooftype on a small scale if the provider itself wishes to host
   several domains (e.g., several related domains such as jabber-
   de.example and jabber-ch.example).  However, in practice the security
   of multi-tenancy has been found to be unwieldy when the provider
   hosts large numbers of XMPP services on behalf of multiple customers.
   Typically there are two main reasons for this state of affairs: the
   service provider (say, hosting.example.net) wishes to limit its
   liability and therefore does not wish to hold the certificate and
   private key for the customer (say, example.com) and the customer
   wishes to improve the security of the service and therefore does not
   wish to share its certificate and private key with service provider.
   As a result, server-to-server communications to example.com go
   unencrypted or the communications are TLS-encrypted but the
   certificates are not checked (which is functionally equivalent to a
   connection using an anonymous key exchange).  This is also true of
   client-to-server communications, forcing end users to override
   certificate warnings or configure their clients to accept
   certificates for hosting.example.net instead of example.com.  The
   fundamental problem here is that if DNSSEC is not used then the act
   of delegation via DNS SRV records is inherently insecure.

   [I-D.ietf-dane-srv] explains how to use DNSSEC for secure delegation
   with the DANE prooftype and [I-D.miller-xmpp-posh-prooftype] explains
   how to use HTTPS redirects for secure delegation with the POSH
   prooftype.

9.  Prooftype Model

   In general, a DNA prooftype conforms to the following definition:

   prooftype:  A mechanism for proving an association between a domain
      name and an XML stream, where the mechanism defines (1) the nature
      of the server's proof, (2) the matching rules for comparing the
      client's verification material against the server's proof, (3) how
      the client obtains its verification material, and (4) whether the
      mechanism depends on secure DNS.

   The PKI, DANE, and POSH prooftypes adhere to this model.  In
   addition, other prooftypes are possible (examples might include PGP
   keys rather than PKIX certificates, or a token mechanism such as
   Kerberos or OAuth).

   Some prooftypes depend on (or are enhanced by) secure DNS and
   therefore also need to describe how secure delegation occurs for that
   prooftype.

10.  Security Considerations

   This document supplements but does not supersede the security
   considerations of [RFC6120] and [RFC6125].  Relevant security
   considerations can also be found in [I-D.ietf-dane-srv] and
   [I-D.miller-xmpp-posh-prooftype].

11.  IANA Considerations

   This document has no actions for the IANA.
