Personal Assertion Token (PASSporT) Extension
for Resource Priority Authorization
Abstract
This document extends the Personal Assertion Token (PASSporT)
specification defined in RFC 8225 to allow the inclusion of
cryptographically signed assertions of authorization for the values
populated in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) 'Resource-
Priority' header field, which is used for communications resource
prioritization.

1. Introduction
PASSporT [RFC8225] is a token format based on JSON Web Token (JWT)
[RFC7519] for conveying cryptographically signed information about
the identities involved in personal communications. PASSporT with
Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) [RFC8224] provides a
mechanism by which an authority on the originating side of a call,
using a protocol like SIP [RFC3261], can provide a cryptographic
assurance of the validity of the calling party telephone number in
order to prevent impersonation attacks.

RFC 8443 PASSporT-ext August 2018
[RFC4412] defines a mechanism to prioritize access to SIP-signaled
resources during periods of communications resource scarcity using
the SIP 'Resource-Priority' header. As specified in [RFC4412], the
SIP 'Resource-Priority' header field may be used by SIP user agents
(UAs) [RFC3261] (including Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
