1. Introduction
The CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) message structure uses
references to keys and defines header parameters to carry chains of
X.509 certificates. The header parameters for conveying X.509
certificate chains in a COSE payload are defined in [RFC9360].
This document is inspired by RFC 9360 and defines header parameters
to convey chains of CBOR Web Tokens (CWTs) [RFC8392]. The use of
chains of CWTs allows a trust infrastructure established by CWTs to
be used with COSE. The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)
key structures [RFC8949] that have been defined in COSE support the
use of X.509 certificates. This specification applies the well-
proven concepts to CWTs. These chains of CWTs allow path validation
similarly to what a X.509 certificate-based Public Key Infrastructure
(PKI) provides. Since [RFC8747] does not define the semantics of
path validation for CWTs, new terminology is introduced.
Tschofenig & Moran Expires 7 July 2024 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft CWT Chains January 2024
This document is structured as follows: After introducing some terms,
we describe path validation for CWTs. Then, we define new header
parameters.
2. Terminology and Requirements Language
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 [RFC2119].
The following terms are useful for readers of this document:
* End Entity: user of CWT and/or end user system that is the subject
of a CWT;
* CA: certification authority; RFC 8747 calls this entity the
"issuer" and describes it as "the party that creates the CWT and
binds the claims about the subject to the proof-of-possession
key". In an OAuth-based system, this entity often corresponds to
an authorization server.
* CA CWT: A CWT that is self-issued whereby the same name appears in
the subject and issuer claims.
* RA: registration authority, i.e., an optional system to which a CA
delegates certain management functions; while often used in PKI
deployments it is a role that has not found usage in systems using
CWTs.
* CRL issuer: a system that generates and signs Certificate
Revocation Lists (CRLs); The term CRL is used generically to also
refer to status lists [I-D.ietf-oauth-status-list].
* repository: a system or collection of distributed systems that
stores CWTs and CRLs and serves as a means of distributing these
CWTs and CRLs to end entities. These repositories may be append-
only databases, in the style of
[I-D.mcmillion-keytrans-architecture].
* Trust Anchor: As defined in [RFC6024] and [RFC9019], a Trust
Anchor "represents an authoritative entity via a public key and
associated data. The public key is used to verify digital
signatures, and the associated data is used to constrain the types
of information for which the trust anchor is authoritative." The
trust anchor may be a CWT, a raw public key, or other structure,
as appropriate.
Tschofenig & Moran Expires 7 July 2024 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft CWT Chains January 2024
* Subject Public Key (Info): The "confirmation" claim, defined in
[RFC8747], used to carry the public key and the algorithm with
which the key is used.
3. CWT Path Validation
The goal of path validation is to verify the binding between a
subject name and the public key, as represented in the target CWT,
based on the public key of the trust anchor. In most cases, the
target CWT will be an end entity CWT. Verifying the binding between
the name and subject public key requires obtaining a sequence of
certificates that support that binding. For path validation to work
CWTs that have a minimum number of claims, namely:
* Subject
* Issuer
* Confirmation
Valid paths begin with CWTs issued by a trust anchor and the trust
anchor is an input to the algorithm. The algorithm in Section 6 of
[RFC5280] requires the public key of the CA, the CA's name, and any
constraints upon the set of paths that may be validated using this
key.
The path validation algorithm verifies that a prospective
certification path (a sequence of n CWTs) satisfies the following
conditions:
(a) for all x in {1, ..., n-1}, the subject of CWT x is the issuer of
CWT x+1;
(b) CWT 1 is issued by the trust anchor;
(c) CWT n is the CWT to be validated (i.e., the target CWT); and
Note: When the trust anchor is provided in the form of a self-signed
CWT, this self-signed CWT is not included as part of the prospective
certification path.
As a variation to the algorithm presented in Section 6 of [RFC5280],
there is no strict requirement for a CWT being valid in terms of its
lifetime (as indicated by the "Expiration Time" and the "Not Before"
claims) since CWTs may not necessarily carry these claims and
validatity may be determined via different means, which are outside
the scope of this algorithm.
Tschofenig & Moran Expires 7 July 2024 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft CWT Chains January 2024
Path validation is an important part of establishing trust in a CWT
and when applying path validation, as defined in Section 6
of[RFC5280], to CWTs the reader needs to treat them as certificates.
It is important to keep in mind that many of the advanced features
available with an X.509 certificate-based PKI are, at the time of
writing, not available with CWTs. The authors do, however, believe
that differences will decrease over time as CWT-based deployments
scale.
4. CWT COSE Header Parameters
Parties that intend to rely on the assertions made by a CWTs obtained
from any of these methods still need to validate it. This validation
can be done according to the PKIX rules specified in [RFC5280] or by
using a different trust structure, such as a trusted distributor for
self-signed CWTs. The PKIX validation includes matching against the
trust anchors configured for the application. These rules apply when
the validation succeeds in a single step as well as when CWT chains
need to be built. If the application cannot establish trust in the
CWT, the public key contained in the CWT cannot be used for
cryptographic operations.
The header parameters defined in this document are as follows:
cwt-bag: This header parameter contains a bag of CWTs, which is
unordered and may contain self-signed CWTs. Note that there could be
duplicate CWTs. The CWT bag can contain CWT that are completely
extraneous to the message. (An example of this would be where a
signed message is being used to transport a CWT containing a key
agreement key.) As the CWT are unordered, the party evaluating the
signature will need to be capable of building the CWT path as
necessary. That party will also have to take into account that the
bag may not contain the full set of CWT needed to build any
particular chain.
Tschofenig & Moran Expires 7 July 2024 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft CWT Chains January 2024
The trust mechanism MUST process any CWT in this
parameter as untrusted input. The presence of a self-signed
CWT in the parameter MUST NOT cause the update of the set
of trust anchors without some out-of-band confirmation. As the
contents of this header parameter are untrusted input, the header
parameter can be in either the protected or unprotected header
bucket. Sending the header parameter in the unprotected header
bucket allows an intermediary to remove or add CWT.
The end entity CWT MUST be integrity protected by COSE.
This can, for example, be done by sending the header parameter in
the protected header, sending an 'cwt-bag' in the unprotected header
combined with an 'cwt-t' in the protected header, or including the
end entity CWT in the external_aad.
This header parameter allows for a single CWT or a
bag of CWT to be carried in the message.
* If a single CWT is conveyed, it is placed in a CBOR
byte string.
* If multiple CWTs are conveyed, a CBOR array of byte
strings is used, with each CWT being in its own byte
string.
cwt-chain: This header parameter contains an ordered array of CWTs.
The CWTs are to be ordered starting with the CWT containing the end
entity key followed by the CWT that signed it, and so on. There is
no requirement for the entire chain to be present in the element if
there is reason to believe that the relying party already has, or can
locate, the missing CWT. This means that the relying party is still
required to do path building but that a candidate path is proposed in
this header parameter.

The trust mechanism MUST process any CWT in this
parameter as untrusted input. The presence of a self-signed
CWT in the parameter MUST NOT cause the update of the set
of trust anchors without some out-of-band confirmation. As the
contents of this header parameter are untrusted input, the header
parameter can be in either the protected or unprotected header
bucket. Sending the header parameter in the unprotected header
bucket allows an intermediary to remove or add CWT.
The end entity CWT MUST be integrity protected by COSE.
This can, for example, be done by sending the header parameter in
the protected header, sending an 'cwt-chain' in the unprotected
header combined with an 'cwt-t' in the protected header, or
including the end entity CWT in the external_aad.
This header parameter allows for a single CWT or a
chain of CWTs to be carried in the message.
* If a single CWT is conveyed, it is placed in a CBOR
byte string.
* If multiple CWTs are conveyed, a CBOR array of byte
strings is used, with each CWT being in its own byte
string.
cwt-t: This header parameter identifies the end entity CWT by a hash
value (a thumbprint). The 'cwt-t' header parameter is represented as
an array of two elements. The first element is an algorithm
identifier that is an integer or a string containing the hash
algorithm identifier corresponding to the Value column (integer or
text string) of the algorithm registered in the "COSE Algorithms"
registry (see [COSE-IANA]). The second element is a binary string
containing the hash value computed over the CWT.
Tschofenig & Moran Expires 7 July 2024 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft CWT Chains January 2024
As this header parameter does not provide any trust, the header
parameter can be in either a protected or unprotected header
bucket.
The identification of the end entity CWT MUST be integrity
protected by COSE. This can be done by sending the header
parameter in the protected header or including the end entity
CWT in the external_aad.
The 'cwt-t' header parameter can be used alone or together with the
'cwt-bag', 'cwt-chain', or 'cwt-u' header parameters to provide
integrity protection of the end entity CWT.
For interoperability, applications that use this header parameter
MUST support the hash algorithm 'SHA-256' but can use other hash
algorithms. This requirement allows for different implementations
to be configured to use an interoperable algorithm, but does not
preclude the use (by prior agreement) of other algorithms.
Note: For conveying the thumbprint of a public key alone, see
{{I-D.ietf-cose-key-thumbprint}}.
cwt-u: This header parameter provides the ability to identify a CWT
by a URI [RFC3986]. It contains a CBOR text string. The referenced
resource can be any of the following media types:
Tschofenig & Moran Expires 7 July 2024 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft CWT Chains January 2024
* application/cwt {{RFC8392}}
* application/cwt usage=chain (see {{chain}})
When the application/cwt media type is used, the data is a
encoded according to RFC 8392. If the parameter "usage" is
set to "chain", this sequence indicates a CWT chain.
The end entity CWT MUST be integrity protected by COSE.
This can, for example, be done by sending the 'cwt-u' in the
unprotected or protected header combined with an 'cwt-t' in the
protected header, or including the end entity CWT in the
external_aad. As the end entity CWT is integrity
protected by COSE, the URI does not need to provide any
protection.
If a retrieved CWT does not chain to an existing trust
anchor, that CWT MUST NOT be trusted unless the URI
provides integrity protection and server authentication and the
server is configured as trusted to provide new trust anchors or if
an out-of-band confirmation can be received for trusting the
retrieved CWT. If an HTTP or Constrained Application
Protocol (CoAP) GET request is used to retrieve a CWT, a
standardized security protocol should be used. Examples of such
security protocols include TLS
{{RFC8446}}, DTLS {{RFC9147}}, or Object Security for Constrained
RESTful Environments (OSCORE) {{RFC8613}} should be used.
The header parameters are used in the following locations:
COSE_Signature and COSE_Sign1 objects: In these objects, the
parameters identify the CWT to be used for validating the signature.
COSE_recipient objects: In this location, the parameters identify the
CWT for the recipient of the message.
The labels assigned to each header parameter can be found in

5. CWTs and Static-Static ECDH
The header parameters defined in the previous section are used to
identify the recipient CWT. In this section, we define the
algorithm-specific parameters that are used for identifying or
transporting the sender's key for static-static key agreement
algorithms.
These attributes are defined analogously to those in the previous
section. There is no definition for the CWT bag, as the same
parameter would be used for both the sender and recipient.
cwt-chain-sender: This header parameter contains the chain of CWT
starting with the sender's key exchange CWT. The structure is the
same as 'cwt-chain'.
cwt-t-sender: This header parameter contains the hash value for the
sender's key exchange CWT. The structure is the same as 'cwt-t'.
cwt-u-sender: This header parameter contains a URI for the sender's
key exchange CWT. The structure and processing are the same as 'cwt-
u'.

7. Security Considerations
Establishing trust in a CWT is a vital part of processing. A major
component of establishing trust is determining what the set of trust
anchors are for the process. A new self-signed CWT appearing on the
client cannot be a trigger to modify the set of trust anchors,
because a well-defined trust-establishment process is required. One
common way for a new trust anchor to be added to (or removed from) a
device is by doing a new firmware upgrade.
Tschofenig & Moran Expires 7 July 2024 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft CWT Chains January 2024
In constrained systems, there is a trade-off between the order of
checking the signature and checking the CWT for validity. Validating
CWTs may require that network resources be accessed in order to get
statys information or retrieve CWTs during path building. The
resulting network access can consume power and network bandwidth. On
the other hand, if the CWT are validated after the signature is
validated, an oracle can potentially be built based on detecting the
network resources, which is only done if the signature validation
passes. In any event, both the signature validation and the CWT
validation MUST be completed successfully before acting on any
requests.
The end entity CWT MUST be integrity protected by COSE. Without
proof of possession, an attacker can trick the CA into issuing an
identity-misbinding CWT with someone else's "borrowed" public key but
with a different subject. An on-path attacker can then perform an
identity-misbinding attack by replacing the real end entity CWT in
COSE with such an identity- misbinding CWT.
end entity CWTs contain identities that a passive on-path attacker
eavesdropping on the conversation can use to identify and track the
subject. The 'cwt-t' and 'cwt-u' header parameters are just
alternative permanent identifiers and can also be used to track the
subject. To provide identity protection, COSE can be sent inside
another security protocol providing confidentiality. Additionally,
the encryption capabilities of COSE itself can be used to protect the
CWT content.
When processing the 'cwt-u' header parameter, the security
considerations of [RFC3986], and specifically those defined in
Section 7.1 of [RFC3986], also apply.
Protecting the integrity of the 'cwt-bag', 'cwt-chain', and 'cwt-t'
contents by placing them in the protected header bucket can help
mitigate some risks of a misbehaving CA (cf. Section 5.1 of
[RFC2634]).
The security of the algorithm used for 'cwt-t' does not affect the
security of the system, as this header parameter selects which CWT
that is already present on the system should be used, but it does not
provide any trust.
8. IANA Considerations

Internet-Draft CWT Chains January 2024
8.1. COSE Header Parameters Registry
IANA has registered the new COSE Header parameters in Figure 1 in the
"COSE Header Parameters" registry. The "Value Registry" field is
empty for all of the items. For each item, the "Reference" field
points to this document.
8.2. COSE Header Algorithm Parameters Registry
IANA has registered the new COSE Header Algorithm parameters in
Figure 2 in the "COSE Header Algorithm Parameters" registry. For
each item, the "Reference" field points to this document.
8.3. Media Type application/cwt
When the application/cwt media type is used, the data is a CBOR
sequence of single-entry COSE_CWT structures (encoding "bstr"). If
the parameter "usage" is set to "chain", this sequence indicates a
CWT chain.
The application/cwt media type is already registered by [RFC8392] and
this document updates the IANA entry of this media type [RFC6838]:
* Type name: application
* Subtype name: cwt
* Required parameters: N/A
* Optional parameters: usage
- Can be absent to provide no further information about the
intended meaning of the order in the CBOR sequence of CWT.
- Can be set to "chain" to indicate that the sequence of data
items is to be interpreted as a CWT chain.
* Encoding considerations: binary
* Security considerations: See the Security Considerations section
of RFC 8392 and [TBD: This RFC].
* Interoperability considerations: N/A
* Published specification: RFC 8392 and [TBD: This RFC]
