             Subject Identifiers for Security Event Tokens
               draft-ietf-secevent-subject-identifiers-05

Abstract

   Security events communicated within Security Event Tokens may support
   a variety of identifiers to identify the subject and/or other
   principals related to the event.  This specification formalizes the
   notion of subject identifiers as named sets of well-defined claims
   describing the subject, a mechanism for representing subject
   identifiers within a [JSON] object such as a JSON Web Token [JWT] or
   Security Event Token [SET], and a registry for defining and
   allocating names for these claim sets.

1.  Introduction

   As described in section 1.2 of [SET], the subject of a security event
   may take a variety of forms, including but not limited to a JWT
   principal, an IP address, a URL, etc.  Furthermore, even in the case
   where the subject of an event is more narrowly scoped, there may be
   multiple ways by which a given subject may be identified.  For
   example, an account may be identified by an opaque identifier, an
   email address, a phone number, a JWT "iss" claim and "sub" claim,
   etc., depending on the nature and needs of the transmitter and
   receiver.  Even within the context of a given transmitter and
   receiver relationship, it may be appropriate to identify different

Internet-Draft        secevent-subject-identifiers             July 2019

   accounts in different ways, for example if some accounts only have
   email addresses associated with them while others only have phone
   numbers.  Therefore it can be necessary to indicate within a SET the
   mechanism by which the subject of the security event is being
   identified.

2.  Notational Conventions

   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 [RFC2119].

3.  Subject Identifiers

   A Subject Identifier Type is a light-weight schema that describes a
   set of claims that identifies a subject.  Every Subject Identifier
   Type MUST have a unique name registered in the IANA "Security Event
   Subject Identifier Types" registry established by Section 7.1.  A
   Subject Identifier Type MAY describe more claims than are strictly
   necessary to identify a subject, and MAY describe conditions under
   which those claims are required, optional, or prohibited.

   A Subject Identifier is a [JSON] object containing a "subject_type"
   claim whose value is the name of a Subject Identifier Type, and a set
   of additional "payload claims" which are to be interpreted according
   to the rules defined by that Subject Identifier Type.  Payload claim
   values MUST match the format specified for the claim by the Subject
   Identifier Type.  A Subject Identifier MUST NOT contain any payload
   claims prohibited or not described by its Subject Identifier Type,
   and MUST contain all payload claims required by its Subject
   Identifier Type.

   The following Subject Identifier Types are registered in the IANA
   "Security Event Subject Identifier Types" registry established by
   Section 7.1.

3.1.  Account Subject Identifier Type

   The Account Subject Identifier Type describes a user account at a
   service provider, identified with an "acct" URI as defined in
   [RFC7565].  Subject Identifiers of this type MUST contain a "uri"
   claim whose value is the "acct" URI for the subject.  The "uri" claim
   is REQUIRED and MUST NOT be null or empty.  The Account Subject
   Identifier Type is identified by the name "account".

   Below is a non-normative example Subject Identifier for the Account
   Subject Identifier Type:

Internet-Draft        secevent-subject-identifiers             July 2019

   {
     "subject_type": "account",
     "uri": "acct:example.user@service.example.com",
   }

       Figure 1: Example: Subject Identifier for the Account Subject
                             Identifier Type.

3.2.  Email Subject Identifier Type

   The Email Subject Identifier Type describes a principal identified
   with an email address.  Subject Identifiers of this type MUST contain
   an "email" claim whose value is a string containing the email address
   of the subject, formatted as an "addr-spec" as defined in
   Section 3.4.1 of [RFC5322].  The "email" claim is REQUIRED and MUST
   NOT be null or empty.  The value of the "email" claim SHOULD identify
   a mailbox to which email may be delivered, in accordance with
   [RFC5321].  The Email Subject Identifier Type is identified by the
   name "email".

   Below is a non-normative example Subject Identifier for the Email
   Subject Identifier Type:

   {
     "subject_type": "email",
     "email": "user@example.com",
   }

        Figure 2: Example: Subject Identifier for the Email Subject
                             Identifier Type.

3.2.1.  Email Canonicalization

   Many email providers will treat multiple email addresses as
   equivalent.  For example, some providers treat email addresses as
   case-insensitive, and consider "user@example.com",
   "User@example.com", and "USER@example.com" as the same email address.
   This has led users to view these strings as equivalent, driving
   service providers to implement proprietary email canonicalization
   algorithms to ensure that email addresses entered by users resolve to
   the same canonical string.  When receiving an Email Subject
   Identifier, the recipient SHOULD use their implementation's
   canonicalization algorithm to resolve the email address to the same
   subject identifier string used in their system.

Internet-Draft        secevent-subject-identifiers             July 2019

3.3.  Phone Number Subject Identifier Type

   The Phone Number Subject Identifier Type describes a principal
   identified with a telephone number.  Subject Identifiers of this type
   MUST contain a "phone_number" claim whose value is a string
   containing the full telephone number of the subject, including
   international dialing prefix, formatted according to E.164 [E164].
   The "phone_number" claim is REQUIRED and MUST NOT be null or empty.
   The Phone Number Subject Identifier Type is identified by the name
   "phone-number".

   Below is a non-normative example Subject Identifier for the Email
   Subject Identifier Type:

   {
     "subject_type": "phone-number",
     "phone_number": "+12065550100",
   }

    Figure 3: Example: Subject Identifier for the Phone Number Subject
                             Identifier Type.

3.4.  Issuer and Subject Subject Identifier Type

   The Issuer and Subject Subject Identifier Type describes a principal
   identified with a pair of "iss" and "sub" claims, as defined by
   [JWT].  These claims MUST follow the formats of the "iss" claim and
   "sub" claim defined by [JWT], respectively.  Both the "iss" claim and
   the "sub" claim are REQUIRED and MUST NOT be null or empty.  The
   Issuer and Subject Subject Identifier Type is identified by the name
   "iss-sub".

   Below is a non-normative example Subject Identifier for the Issuer
   and Subject Subject Identifier Type:

   {
     "subject_type": "iss-sub",
     "iss": "http://issuer.example.com/",
     "sub": "145234573",
   }

                         Subject Identifier Type.

Internet-Draft        secevent-subject-identifiers             July 2019

3.5.  Aliases Subject Identifier Type

   The Aliases Subject Identifier Type describes a subject that is
   identified with a list of different Subject Identifiers.  It is
   intended for use when a variety of identifiers have been shared with
   the party that will be interpreting the Subject Identifier, and it is
   unknown which of those identifiers they will recognize or support.
   Subject Identifiers of this type MUST contain an "identifiers" claim
   whose value is a JSON array containing one or more Subject
   Identifiers.  Each Subject Identifier in the array MUST identify the
   same entity.  The "identifiers" claim is REQUIRED and MUST NOT be
   null or empty.  It MAY contain multiple instances of the same Subject
   Identifier Type (e.g., multiple Email Subject Identifiers), but
   SHOULD NOT contain exact duplicates.  This type is identified by the
   name "aliases".

   "alias" Subject Identifiers MUST NOT be nested; i.e., the
   "identifiers" claim of an "alias" Subject Identifier MUST NOT contain
   a Subject Identifier of type "aliases".

   Below is a non-normative example Subject Identifier for the Aliases
   Subject Identifier Type:

   {
     "subject_type": "aliases",
     "identifiers": [
       {
         "subject_type": "email",
         "email": "user@example.com",
       },
       {
         "subject_type": "phone-number",
         "phone_number": "+12065550100",
       },
       {
         "subject_type": "email",
         "email": "user+qualifier@example.com",
       }
     ],
   }

       Figure 5: Example: Subject Identifier for the Aliases Subject
                             Identifier Type.

4.  Subject Identifiers in JWTs

4.1.  "sub_id" Claim

   This document defines the "sub_id" JWT Claim, in accordance with
   Section 4.2 of [RFC7519].  When present, the value of this claim MUST
   be a Subject Identifier that identifies the principal that is the
   subject of the JWT.  The "sub_id" claim MAY be included in a JWT,
   whether or not the "sub" claim is present.  When both the "sub" and
   "sub_id" claims are present in a JWT, they MUST identify the same
   principal.

   Below is are non-normative examples of JWTs containing the "sub_id"
   claim:

   {
     "iss": "issuer.example.com",
     "sub_id": {
       "subject_type": "email",
       "email": "user@example.com",
     },
   }

      Figure 6: Example: JWT containing a `sub_id` claim and no `sub`
                                  claim.

   {
     "iss": "issuer.example.com",
     "sub": "user@example.com",
     "sub_id": {
       "subject_type": "email",
       "email": "user@example.com",
     },
   }

      Figure 7: Example: JWT where both the `sub` and `sub_id` claims
              identify the subject using the same identifier.

Backman & Scurtescu     Expires January 25, 2020                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft        secevent-subject-identifiers             July 2019

   {
     "iss": "issuer.example.com",
     "sub": "user@example.com",
     "sub_id": {
       "subject_type": "email",
       "email": "elizabeth@example.com",
     },
   }

      Figure 8: Example: JWT where both the `sub` and `sub_id` claims
    identify the subject using different values of the same identifier
                                   type.

   {
     "iss": "issuer.example.com",
     "sub": "user@example.com",
     "sub_id": {
       "subject_type": "account",
       "uri": "acct:example.user@service.example.com",
     },
   }

    Figure 9: Example: JWT where the `sub` and `sub_id` claims identify
              the subject via different types of identifiers.

4.2.  "sub_id" and "iss-sub" Subject Identifiers

   The "sub_id" claim MAY contain an "iss-sub" Subject Identifier.  In
   this case, the JWT's "iss" claim and the Subject Identifier's "iss"
   claim MAY be different.  For example, an OpenID Connect [OIDC] client
   may construct such a JWT when issuing a JWT back to its OpenID
   Connect Identity Provider, in order to communicate information about
   the services' shared subject principal using an identifier the
   Identity Provider is known to understand.  Similarly, the JWT's "sub"
   claim and the Subject Identifier's "sub" claim MAY be different.  For
   example, this may be used by an OpenID Connect client to communicate
   the subject principal's local identifier at the client back to its
   Identity Provider.

   Below are non-normative examples of a JWT where the "iss" claims are
   the same, and a JWT where they are different.

   {
     "iss": "issuer.example.com",
     "sub_id": {
       "subject_type": "iss-sub",
       "iss": "issuer.example.com",
       "sub": "example_user",
     },
   }

   Figure 10: Example: JWT with a `iss-sub` Subject Identifier where JWT
                  issuer and subject issuer are the same.

   {
     "iss": "client.example.com",
     "sub_id": {
       "subject_type": "iss-sub",
       "iss": "issuer.example.com",
       "sub": "example_user",
     },
   }

             the JWT issuer and subject issuer are different.

   {
     "iss": "client.example.com",
     "sub": "client_user",
     "sub_id": {
       "subject_type": "iss-sub",
       "iss": "issuer.example.com",
       "sub": "example_user",
     },
   }

    Figure 12: Example: JWT with an `iss-sub` Subject Identifier where
    the JWT `iss` and `sub` claims differ from the Subject Identifier's
                          `iss` and `sub` claims.

5.  Privacy Considerations

5.1.  Identifier Correlation

   The act of presenting two or more identifiers for a single principal
   together (e.g., within an "aliases" Subject Identifier, or via the
   "sub" and "sub_id" JWT claims) may communicate more information about
   the principal than was intended.  For example, the entity to which
   the identifiers are presented, now knows that both identifiers relate
   to the same principal, and may be able to correlate additional data

Backman & Scurtescu     Expires January 25, 2020                [Page 9]
Internet-Draft        secevent-subject-identifiers             July 2019

   based on that.  When transmitting Subject Identifiers, the
   transmitter SHOULD take care that they are only transmitting multiple
   identifiers together when it is known that the recipient already
   knows that the identifiers are related (e.g., because they were
   previously sent to the recipient as claims in an OpenID Connect ID
   Token).

6.  Security Considerations

   There are no security considerations.

7.  IANA Considerations

7.1.  Security Event Subject Identifier Types Registry

   This document defines Subject Identifier Types, for which IANA is
   asked to create and maintain a new registry titled "Security Event
   Subject Identifier Types".  Initial values for the Security Event

   The Expert Reviewer is expected to review the documentation
   referenced in a registration request to verify its completeness.  The
   Expert Reviewer must base their decision to accept or reject the
   request on a fair and impartial assessment of the request.  If the
   Expert Reviewer has a conflict of interest, such as being an author
   of a defining document referenced by the request, they must recuse
   themselves from the approval process for that request.  In the case
   where a request is rejected, the Expert Reviewer should provide the
   requesting party with a written statement expressing the reason for
   rejection, and be prepared to cite any sources of information that
   went into that decision.

   Subject Identifier Types need not be generally applicable and may be
   highly specific to a particular domain; it is expected that types may
   be registered for niche or industry-specific use cases.  The Expert
   Reviewer should focus on whether the type is thoroughly documented,
   and whether its registration will promote or harm interoperability.
   In most cases, the Expert Reviewer should not approve a request if
   the registration would contribute to confusion, or amount to a
   synonym for an existing type.
