1.  Introduction

   [I-D.ietf-acme-acme] is a mechanism for automating certificate
   management on the Internet.  It enables administrative entities to
   prove effective control over resources like domain names, and
   automates the process of generating and issuing certificates.
   [I-D.peterson-acme-authority-token] extends ACME to provide a general
   method of extending the Authority and authorization of entities to
   control a resource via a third party Authority beyond the
   Certification Authority.

   This document addresses the STIR problem statement [RFC7340] which
   identifies the need for Internet credentials that can attest
   authority for the originator of VoIP calls in order to detect
   impersonation, which is currently an enabler for common attacks
   associated with illegal robocalling, voicemail hacking, and swatting.
   These credentials are used to sign PASSporTs [RFC8225], which can be
   carried in using protocols such as SIP [RFC8224].  Currently, the

Internet-Draft         ACME TNAuthList Auth Token             March 2018


   only defined credentials for this purpose are the certificates
   specified in [RFC8226].

   [RFC8226] describes certificate extensions suitable for associating
   telephone numbers and service provider codes with certificates.
   Specifically, the TN Authorization List defined in [RFC8226]
   Section 9, defines the ability to associate a STI certificate with a
   specific set of Service Provider Codes (SPC), Telephone Numbers
   (TNs), or Telephone Number ranges (TN ranges).  Typically, these
   identifiers have been associated to a Communications Service Provider
   (CSP) that is authorized to use a set of telephone numbers or
   telephone number ranges in association with a Service Provider Code
   as defined in [RFC8226].  The SPC is a unique code or string managed
   by a national regulatory body that has the authority over those code
   associations.

2.  Terminology

   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.  ACME new-order identifiers for TNAuthList

   In [I-D.ietf-acme-acme], Section 7.4 defines the procedure that an
   ACME client uses to order a new certificate from a Certificate
   Authority.  The new-order request contains an identifier object that
   specifies the identifiers the order corresponds to.  For the
   TNAuthList identifier, the new-order request MUST include a type set
   to the string "TNAuthList".  The value of the identifier MUST be set
   to the details of the TNAuthList requested.

   The format of the string that represents the TNAuthList MUST be
   constructed as follows.  The TNAuthList as defined in [RFC8226] can
   include three types of identifiers.

   1.  Service Provider Code (SPC) identified as "spc"

   2.  Telephone Number (TN) identified as "tn"

   3.  Telephone Number Range (TNRange) identified as "tnrange"

   The above types of identifiers and the corresponding strings should
   be used as a JSON key part of an array of JSON key and value pairs.
   The JSON value would be the string representing the corresponding
   SPC, TN, or TNRange values.

Internet-Draft         ACME TNAuthList Auth Token             March 2018


   For example, a request for a TNAuthList certificate with a SPC value
   of "1234" and a TN value of "2155551212" would look as follows,

    "identifiers": [{"type":"TNAuthList","value":"["spc":"1234",
       "tn","2155551212"]"}]

   A full new-order request would look as follows,

   POST /acme/new-order HTTP/1.1
   Host: example.com
   Content-Type: application/jose+json

   {
     "protected": base64url({
       "alg": "ES256",
       "kid": "https://example.com/acme/acct/1",
       "nonce": "5XJ1L3lEkMG7tR6pA00clA",
       "url": "https://example.com/acme/new-order"
     }),
     "payload": base64url({
       "identifiers": [{"type:"TNAuthList","value":"["spc":"1234",
         "tn":"2155551212"]"}],
       "notBefore": "2016-01-01T00:00:00Z",
       "notAfter": "2016-01-08T00:00:00Z"
     }),
     "signature": "H6ZXtGjTZyUnPeKn...wEA4TklBdh3e454g"
   }

4.  TNAuthList Identifier Authorization

   On receiving a valid new-order request, the CA creates an
   authorization challenge and can be queried by the following example
   request and response.

   GET /acme/authz/1234 HTTP/1.1
   Host: example.com

Internet-Draft         ACME TNAuthList Auth Token             March 2018


   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   Content-Type: application/json
   Link: <https://example.com/acme/some-directory>;rel="index"

   {
     "status": "pending",
     "expires": "2018-03-03T14:09:00Z",

     "identifier": {
       "type:"TNAuthList",
       "value":"["spc":"1234","tn":"2155551212"]"
     },

     "challenges": [
       {
         "type": "tkauth-01",
         "tkauth-type": "ATC",
         "token-authority": "https://authority.example.org/authz",
         "url": "https://boulder.example.com/authz/asdf/0"
         "token": "IlirfxKKXAsHtmzK29Pj8A"
       }
     ]
   }

   This follows [I-D.peterson-acme-authority-token] with a specific
   identifier corresponding to the specific challenge as defined
   previously in this document.

   When processing a certificate order containing an identifier of type
   "TNAuthList", a CA MUST use the Authority Token challenge mechanism
   defined in [I-D.peterson-acme-authority-token] to verify that the
   requesting ACME client has control over the requested "TNAuthList"
   value.

   The challenge "token-authority" parameter is optional and only used
   in cases where the VoIP telephone network requires a CA to determine
   the authority.  This is currently not the case for the SHAKEN
   [ATIS-1000080] certificate framework governance, but may be used by
   other frameworks.  If a "token-authority" parameter is present, then
   the ACME client MAY use the "token-authority" value to identify the
   URL representing the authority that will provide the TNAuthList
   Authority Token response to the challenge.  If the "token-authority"
   parameter is not present, then the ACME client MUST identify the
   Authority based on locally configured information or local policies.

   A client responds to this challenge by providing an TNAuthList
   Authority Token to the CA.  The ACME client MUST respond to the
   challenge by posting the TNAuthList Authority Token to the URL

   follows.

        POST /acme/authz/asdf/0 HTTP/1.1
        Host: sti-ca.com
        Content-Type: application/jose+json

        {
         "protected": base64url({
         "alg": "ES256",
         "kid": "https://sti-ca.com/acme/reg/asdf",
         "nonce": "Q_s3MWoqT05TrdkM2MTDcw",
         "url": "https://sti-ca.com/acme/authz/asdf/0"
        }),
         "payload": base64url({
         "ATC": "DGyRejmCefe7v4N...vb29HhjjLPSggwiE"
        }),
         "signature": "9cbg5JO1Gf5YLjjz...SpkUfcdPai9uVYYQ"
        }

   The specifics of the construction of the "ATC" token is defined in
   the next section.

5.  TNAuthList Authority Token

   The Telephone Number Authority List Authority Token (TNAuthList
   Authority Token) is an extension of the ACME Authority Token defined
   in [I-D.peterson-acme-authority-token].

   The TNAuthList Authority Token Protected header MUST comply with the
   Authority Token Protected header as defined in
   [I-D.peterson-acme-authority-token].

   The TNAuthList Authority Token Payload MUST include the claims
   defined for the Authority Token.  These are detailed in the next
   subsections.

5.1.  "iss" claim

   The "iss" claim is an optional claim.  It can be used as a URL
   identifying the Authority that issued the TNAuthList Authority Token
   beyond the "x5u" Header claim that identifies the location of the
   certificate of the Authority used to validate the Authority Token.

Internet-Draft         ACME TNAuthList Auth Token             March 2018


5.2.  "exp" claim

   The "exp" claim contains the DateTime value of the ending time and
   date that the TNAuthList Authority Token expires.

5.3.  "jti" claim

   The "jti" claim contains a unique identifier for the TNAuthList
   Authority Token transaction.

5.4.  "atc" claim

   The "atc" claim is the only claim specifically defined in this
   document.  It contains an array of three elements; a string set to
   "TNAuthList", an identifier value which is an array of the
   identifiers to be included in the TNAuthList of the requesting SP,
   and a nonce.

   An example of the TNAuthList Authority Token is as follows,

      { "typ":"JWT",
        "alg":"ES256",
        "x5u":https://authority.example.org/cert
      }

      {
       "iss":"https://authority.example.org/authz",
       "exp":1300819380,
       "jti":"id6098364921",
       "atc":["TnAuthList","["spc":"1234","tn":"2155551212"]",
         "Q_s3MWoqT05TrdkM2MTDcw"]
      }

   Similar to how the TNAuthList identifier value is defined, the
   identifier value in the "atc" should also include the same JSON array
   of TNAuthList values with key/value pairs representing each part of
   the TNAuthList.

5.5.  Acquiring the token from the Authority

   The specifics of how the token is acquired from the authority is out
   of the scope of this document.

6.  Validating the TNAuthList Authority Token

   Upon receiving a response to the challenge, the ACME server MUST
   perform the following steps to determine the validity of the
   response.



Wendt, et al.           Expires September 6, 2018               [Page 7]


Internet-Draft         ACME TNAuthList Auth Token             March 2018


   o  Verify that the token contained in the Payload "ATC" field is an
      TNAuthList Authority Token.

   o  Verify the TNAuthList Authority Token signature using the public
      key of the certificate referenced by the token's "x5u" parameter.

   o  Verify that "atc" claim contains an identifier type of
      "TNAuthList",

   o  Verify that the "atc" claim contains keys and values that matches
      the keys and values of the Identifier specified in the original
      challenge.

   o  Verify that the remaining claims are valid (e.g., verify that
      token has not expired)

   If all steps in the token validation process pass, then the CA MUST
   set the challenge object "status" to "valid".  If any step of the
   validation process fails, the "status" in the challenge object MUST
   be set to "invalid".

7.  Example TNAuthList Tokens

   This section provides some TNAuthList Authority Token examples.

7.1.  Example-1

   TNAuthList Authority Token authorizing a TNAuthList containing a
   single SPC value

   {
     "typ":"JWT",
     "alg":"ES256",
     "x5u":https://authority.example.org/cert
   }

   {
     "iss":"https://authority.example.org/authz",
     "exp":1300819380,
     "jti":"id6098364921",
     "atc":["TnAuthList","["spc":"1234"]","Q_s3MWoqT05TrdkM2MTDcw"]
   }

7.2.  Example-2

   TNAuthList Authority Token authorizing a TNAuthList identifier
   containing an SPC value plus a range of TNs

         "Q_s3MWoqT05TrdkM2MTDcw"]
  }

7.3.  Example-3

   TNAuthList Authority Token authorizing a TNAuthList identifier
   containing a single TN

   {
     "typ":"JWT",
     "alg":"ES256",
     "x5u":https://authority.example.org/cert
   }

   {
     "iss":"https://authority.example.org/authz",
     "exp":1300819380,
     "jti":"id6098364921",
     "atc":["TnAuthList",
          ["tn":"12155551212"],
          "Q_s3MWoqT05TrdkM2MTDcw"]
   }

8.  Large number of Non-contiguous TNAuthList values

   There are many scenarios and reasons to have various combinations of
   SPCs, TNs, and TN Ranges.  [RFC8226] has provided a somewhat
   unbounded set of combinations.  It's possible that a complex non-
   contiguous set of telephone numbers are being managed by a CSP.  Best
   practice may be simply to split a set of non-contiguous numbers under
   management into multiple STI certificates to represent the various
   contiguous parts of the greater non-contiguous set of TNs,
   particularly if length of the set of values in identifier object
   grows to be too large.
