Security Event Token (SET)
draft-hunt-idevent-token-07

Abstract

This specification defines the Security Event Token, which may be distributed via a protocol such as HTTP. The Security Event Token (SET) specification profiles the JSON Web Token (JWT) and may be optionally signed and/or encrypted. A SET describes a statement of fact that may be shared by an event publisher with event subscribers.

1. Introduction and Overview

This specification defines an extensible Security Event Token (SET) format which may be exchanged using protocols such as HTTP. The specification builds on the JSON Web Token (JWT) format [RFC7519] in order to provide a self-contained token that can be optionally signed using JSON Web Signature (JWS) [RFC7515] and/or encrypted using JSON Web Encryption (JWE) [RFC7516].

For the purpose of this specification, an event is a statement of fact by a publisher (also known as the event issuer) that the state of a security subject (e.g., a web resource, token, IP address) it controls or is aware of, has changed in some way (explicitly or implicitly). A security subject may be permanent (e.g., a user account) or temporary (e.g., a login session) in nature. A state change may include direct changes of entity state, implicit changes to state or other higher-level security statements such as:

Based on some agreed upon criteria for an event feed, the publisher distributes events to the appropriate subscribers. While an event may be delivered via synchronous means (e.g., HTTP POST), the distribution of the event often happens asynchronously to the change of state which generated the security event. As an example, an OAuth2 Authorization Server [RFC6749], having received a token revocation request [RFC7009], may issue a token revocation event to downstream web resource providers. Having been informed of a token revocation, the OAuth2 web resource service provider may add the token identifier to its local revocation list assuming the token has not already expired.

A subscriber having received an event, validates and interprets the event and takes its own independent action, if any. For example, having been informed of a personal identifier now being associated with a different security subject (i.e., is being used by someone else), the subscriber may choose to ensure that the new user is not granted access to resources associated with the previous user. Or it may not have any relationship with the subject, and no action is taken.

While subscribers will often take actions upon receiving one or more events, events MUST NOT be assumed to be commands or requests. To do so requires complex bi-directional signals and error recovery mechanisms that fall outside the scope of this specification. The intent of this specification is to define a way of exchanging statements of fact that subscribers may interpret for their own purposes. Since events are typically historical statements by a publisher and are not commands, idempotency or lack thereof, does not apply.

Unless otherwise specified, this specification uses example events intended as non-normative examples showing how an event may be used. It is expected that other specifications will use this specification to define normative events.

This specification is scoped to security and identity related events. While security event tokens may be used for other purposes, the specification only considers security and privacy concerns relevant to identity and personal information.

1.1. 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]. These keywords are capitalized when used to unambiguously specify requirements of the protocol or application features and behavior that affect the inter-operability and security of implementations. When these words are not capitalized, they are meant in their natural-language sense.

For purposes of readability, examples are not URL encoded. Implementers MUST percent encode URLs as described in Section 2.1 of [RFC3986].

Throughout this document, all figures MAY contain spaces and extra line-wrapping for readability and space limitations. Similarly, some URIs contained within examples have been shortened for space and readability reasons.

1.2. Definitions

The following definitions are used with SETs:

Feed Publisher

The Feed Publisher creates SETs to be distributed to registered subscribers. In JWT terminology, the Feed Publisher is also known as the issuer (iss).
Security Event Token (SET)

An SET is a JWT that is to be distributed to one or more registered subscribers. A SET MAY be signed or encrypted using JWS and/or JWE for authentication and confidentiality reasons.
Feed

A Feed is a logical grouping of SETs or a context under which SETs may be issued. A Subscriber registers with the Feed Publisher to subscribe to SETs associated with a Feed. How a Feed is defined or the method for subscription is out-of-scope of this specification.
Subscriber

A Subscriber registers to receive SETs from a Feed Publisher using a protocol such as HTTP. The method of registration and delivery is out-of-scope of this specification.
Security Subject

A Security Subject is the entity to which a SET refers. A Security Subject may be a principle (e.g., Section 4.1.2 [RFC7519]), a web resource, or other thing such as an IP address that a SET might reference.

2. The Security Event Token (SET)

A SET conveys a statement (in the form of a JWT [RFC7519]) about a single security event in relation to a Security Subject that may be of interest to a Subscriber or set of Subscribers receiving SETs from a Feed Publisher.

The schema and structure of a SET follows the JWT [RFC7519] specification. A SET has the following structure:

The following is a non-normative example showing the JWT Claims Set for a hypothetical SCIM password reset SET. This example is also one in which the issuer has provided an extension (https://example.com/scim/event/passwordResetExt) that is used to convey additional information -- in this case, the current count of reset attempts:

{ 
  "jti": "3d0c3cf797584bd193bd0fb1bd4e7d30",
  "iat": 1458496025,
  "iss": "https://scim.example.com",  
  "aud": [
    "https://jhub.example.com/Feeds/98d52461fa5bbc879593b7754",
    "https://jhub.example.com/Feeds/5d7604516b1d08641d7676ee7"
  ],  
  "sub": "https://scim.example.com/Users/44f6142df96bd6ab61e7521d9",
  "events": {
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:event:passwordReset": 
      { "id":"44f6142df96bd6ab61e7521d9"},
    "https://example.com/scim/event/passwordResetExt": 
      { "resetAttempts":5}
  }
}

Figure 1: Example SCIM Password Reset Event

The event in the figure above expresses hypothetical password reset event for SCIM [RFC7644]. The JWT consists of:

Additional extensions to an event may be added by adding more values to the events claims. For each event URI value specified, there is a corresponding JSON object that contains the claims associated with that event, if any. In this example, the SCIM event indicates that a password has been updated and the current password reset count is 5. Notice that the value for "resetAttempts" is actually part of its own JSON object associated with the extension URI.

Here is another example JWT Claims Set for a security event token, this one for a Logout Token:

{
   "iss": "https://server.example.com",
   "sub": "248289761001",
   "aud": "s6BhdRkqt3",
   "iat": 1471566154,
   "jti": "bWJq",
   "sid": "08a5019c-17e1-4977-8f42-65a12843ea02",
   "events": {
     "http://schemas.openid.net/event/backchannel-logout": {}
   }
}

Figure 2: Example OpenID Back-Channel Logout Event

In the following example JWT Claims Set, a fictional medical service collects consent for medical actions and notifies other parties. The individual for whom consent is identified was originally authenticated via OpenID Connect. In this case, the issuer of the security event is an application rather than the OpenID provider:

{ 
  "jti": "fb4e75b5411e4e19b6c0fe87950f7749",
  
  "sub": "248289761001",
  "iat": 1458496025,
  "iss": "https://my.examplemed.com",  
  "aud": [
    "https://rp.example.com"
  ],  
  "events": {
    "https://openid.net/heart/consent.html":{
      "consentUri":[
        "https://terms.examplemed.com/labdisclosure.html#Agree"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Figure 3: Example Consent Event

2.1. Core SET Claims

The following are claims that are based on [RFC7519] claim definitions and are profiled for use in an event token:

jti

As defined by Section 4.1.7 [RFC7519] contains a unique identifier for an event. The identifier SHOULD be unique within a particular event feed and MAY be used by clients to track whether a particular event has already been received. This claim is REQUIRED.
iss

A single valued String containing the URI of the service provider publishing the SET (the issuer). This claim is REQUIRED.
aud

A multi-valued String containing the URIs representing the audience of the event. Values are typically URLs of the feeds the event is associated with. When an event has multiple audiences that go to the same subscriber, the publisher is not obligated to deliver repeated events to the same subscriber. This claim is RECOMMENDED.
iat

As defined by Section 4.1.6 [RFC7519], a value containing a NumericDate, which represents when the event was issued. Unless otherwise specified, the value SHOULD be interpreted by the subscriber as equivalent to the actual time of the event. This claim is REQUIRED.
nbf

As defined by Section 4.1.5 [RFC7519], a value containing a NumericDate, which represents a future date when the event will occur. This claim is OPTIONAL.
sub
As defined by Section 4.1.2 [RFC7519], a String or URI value representing the principal or the subject of the SET. This is usually the entity whose "state" was changed. For example, an IP Address was added to a black list. A URI representing a user resource that was modified. A token identifier for a revoked token. If used, the profile specification SHOULD define the content and format semantics for the value. This claim is OPTIONAL, as the principal for any given profile may already be identified without the inclusion of a subject claim.
exp
As defined by [RFC7519], this claim is time on which the JWT MUST NOT be accepted for processing. In the context of a SET however, this notion does not apply since a SET reflects something that has already been processed and is historical in nature. While some specifications MAY have a need for this claim, its use in general cases is NOT RECOMMENDED.

The following are new claims defined by this specification:

events

A JSON object whose members are a set of JSON name/value pairs whose names are URIs representing the primary event (typically the first member) and event extensions being expressed. For each name present, the corresponding value SHALL be a JSON object. The JSON object MAY be an empty object ({}), or it MAY be a JSON object containing data as described by the profiling event specification.
txn

An OPTIONAL single-valued String value that represents a unique transaction identifier. In cases where multiple SETs are issued based on different event URIs, the transaction identifier MAY be used to correlate SETs to the same originating event or stateful change.

2.2. Security Event Token Construction

A SET is a JWT [RFC7519] that is constructed by building a JSON structure that constitutes an event object and which is then used as the body of a JWT.

While this specification uses JWT to convey a SET, implementers SHALL NOT use SETs to convey authentication or authorization assertions.

The following is an example JWT Claims Set for a security event token (which has been formatted for readability):

{  
  "jti": "4d3559ec67504aaba65d40b0363faad8",
  "iat": 1458496404,
  "iss": "https://scim.example.com",  
  "aud": [
   "https://scim.example.com/Feeds/98d52461fa5bbc879593b7754",
   "https://scim.example.com/Feeds/5d7604516b1d08641d7676ee7"
  ],  
  
  "events": {
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:event:create": {
      "ref":
        "https://scim.example.com/Users/44f6142df96bd6ab61e7521d9",
      "attributes":["id", "name", "userName", "password", "emails"],
      "values": {
        "emails": [
         {"type": "work", "value": "jdoe@example.com"}
        ],
        "password": "not4u2no",
        "userName": "jdoe",
        "id": "44f6142df96bd6ab61e7521d9",
        "name": {
          "givenName": "John",
          "familyName": "Doe"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Figure 4: Example Event Claims

When transmitted, the above JSON body must be converted into a JWT as per [RFC7519]. In this example, because the event contains attribute values, the token MUST be encrypted per JWE (see [RFC7516]) before transmission.

The following is an example of a SCIM Event expressed as an unsecured JWT. The JWT header of:

{"alg":"none"}

Base64url encoding of the octets of the UTF-8 representation of the header yields:

Figure 5: Example Unsecured Security Event Token

To create and or validate a signed or encrypted SET, follow the instructions in section 7 of [RFC7519].

3. Security Considerations

3.1. Confidentiality and Integrity

SETs may often contain sensitive information. Therefore, methods for distribution of events SHOULD require the use of a transport-layer security mechanism when distributing events. Parties MUST support TLS 1.2 [RFC5246] and MAY support additional transport-layer mechanisms meeting its security requirements. When using TLS, the client MUST perform a TLS/SSL server certificate check, per [RFC6125]. Implementation security considerations for TLS can be found in "Recommendations for Secure Use of TLS and DTLS" [RFC7525].

Security Events distributed through third-parties or that carry personally identifiable information, SHOULD be encrypted using JWE [RFC7516] or secured for confidentiality by other means.

Security Events distributed without authentication over the channel, such as via TLS ([RFC5246] and [RFC6125]), and/or OAuth2 [RFC6749], or Basic Authentication [RFC7617], MUST be signed using JWS [RFC7515] so that individual events MAY be authenticated and validated by the subscriber.

3.2. Delivery

This specification does not define a delivery mechanism by itself. In addition to confidentiality and integrity (discussed above), implementers and profile specifications MUST consider the consequences of delivery mechanisms that are not secure and/or not assured. For example, while a SET may be end-to-end secured using JWE, that alone will not guarantee that the correct subscribing party knows they should have received a particular SET.

3.3. Sequencing

As defined in this specification, there is no defined way to order multiple SETs in a sequence. Depending on the type and nature of SET event, order may or may not matter. For example, in provisioning, event order is critical -- an object could not be modified before it was created. In other SET types, such as a token revocation, the order of SETs for revoked tokens does not matter. If however, the event was described as a log-in or logged-out status for a user subject, then order becomes important.

Extension specifications and implementers SHOULD take caution when using timestamps such as iat to define order. Distributed systems will have some amount of clock-skew and thus time by itself will not guarantee order.

Specifications profiling SET SHOULD define a mechanism for detecting order or sequence of events. For example, the txn claim could contain an ordered value (e.g., a counter) that the publisher defines.

3.4. Timing Issues

When SETs are delivered asynchronously and/or out-of-band with respect to the original action that incurred the security event, it is important to consider that a SET might be delivered to a Subscriber in advance or well behind the process that caused the event. For example, a user having been required to logout and then log back in again, may cause a logout SET to be issued that may arrive at the same time as the user-agent accesses a web site having just logged-in. If timing is not handled properly, the effect would be to erroneously treat the new user session as logged out. Profiling specifications SHOULD be careful to anticipate timing and subject selection information. For example, it might be more appropriate to cancel a "session" rather than a "user". Alternatively, the specification could use timestamps that allows new sessions to be started immediately after a stated logout event time.

3.5. Distinguishing SETs from Access Tokens

Because [RFC7519] states that all claims that are not understood by implementations MUST be ignored., there is a consideration that a SET token might be confused as an access or authorization token in the case where a SET is mistakenly or intentionally intercepted and presented as an access token. To avoid this, it is recommended that implementers consider one or more of the following:

  • Avoid use of the JWT claim exp within the envelope.
  • Where possible, use a separate aud claim value to distinguish between the SET subscriber and the audience of an access token. For example, a Logout while intended for the same relying party could use a different audience to distinguish between normal access and logout notification.
  • Modify access validation systems to check for the presence of the events claim as a means to detect security event tokens. This is particularly useful if the same endpoint may receive both types of tokens.
  • Consider avoiding use of the sub claim at the top level.

4. Privacy Considerations

If a SET needs to be retained for audit purposes, JWS MAY be used to provide verification of its authenticity.

Event Publishers SHOULD attempt to specialize feeds so that the content is targeted to the specific business and protocol needs of subscribers.

When sharing personally identifiable information or information that is otherwise considered confidential to affected users, the publishers and subscribers MUST have the appropriate legal agreements and user consent in place.

The propagation of subject identifiers can be perceived as personally identifiable information. Where possible, publishers and subscribers should devise approaches that prevent propagation -- for example, the passing of a hash value that requires the subscriber to already know the subject.

5. IANA Considerations

5.1. JSON Web Token Claims Registration

This specification registers the events and txn claims in the IANA "JSON Web Token Claims" registry [IANA.JWT.Claims] established by [RFC7519].

5.1.1. Registry Contents
