Abstract
This document presents the framework and requirements for usage of
the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC 3261] to convey user
location information from a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user
agent to another SIP entity. We consider cases where location
information is conveyed from end to end, as well as cases where
message routing by intermediaries is influenced by the location of
the session initiator. We offer a set of solutions to the
requirements, based on the scenario(s) being addressed.

1. Introduction
This document presents the framework and requirements for the usage
of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [1] for conveyance of user
location information object described by [7] from a SIP User Agent
to another SIP entity.
There are several situations in which it is appropriate for SIP to
be used to convey Location Information (LI) from one SIP entity to
another. This document specifies requirements when a SIP UAC knows
its location by some means not specified herein, and needs to inform
another SIP entity. One example is to reach your nearest pizza
parlor. A chain of pizza parlors may have a single well known uri
(sip:pizzaparlor.com), that is forwarded to the closest franchise by
the pizzaparlor.com proxy server. The receiving franchise UAS uses
the location information of the UAC to schedule your delivery.
Another important example is emergency calling. A call to
Polk & Rosen [Page 2]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
sip:sos@example.com is an emergency call as in [3]. The example.com
proxy server must route the call to the correct emergency response
center (ERC) determined by the location of the caller. At the ERC,
the UAS must determine the correct police/fire/ambulance/...
service, which is also based on your location. In many
jurisdictions, accurate location information of the caller in
distress is a required component of a call to an emergency center.
A third example is a direction service, which might give you verbal
directions to a venue from your present position. This is a case
where only the destination UAS needs to receive the location
information.
This document does not discuss how the UAC discovers or is
configured with its location (either coordinate or civic based). It
also does not discuss the contents of the Location Object (LO). It
does specify the requirements for the "using protocol" in [7].
Sections 7, 8 and 9 give specific examples (in well-formed SIP
messages) of SIP UA and Proxy behavior for location conveyance, the
last of which is a section devoted to the unique circumstances
regarding emergency calling. Section 10 addresses how this document
adheres to the requirements specified in [7] (Geopriv Requirements).
Sections 11 and 12 list the current open issues with location
conveyance in SIP, and the new open issues recently discovered as a
result of the added effort to this revision.
1.1 Conventions used in this document
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 [2].
1.2 Changes from Prior Versions
[NOTE TO RFC-EDITOR: If this document is to be published as an RFC,
this section is to be removed prior to that event.]
This is a list of the changes that have been made from the -00
working group version of this ID to this version:
- Added the offered solution in detail (with message flows,
appropriate SIP Methods for location conveyance, and
- Synchronized the requirements here with those from the Geopriv
Working Group's (attempting to eliminate overlap)
- Took on the task of making this effort the SIP "using protocol"
specification from Geopriv's POV
Polk & Rosen [Page 3]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
- Refined the Open Issues section to reflect the progress we've made
here, and to indicate what we have discovered needs addressing,
but has not been to date.
This is a list of the changes that have been made from the -01
individual submission version to the WG -00 version of this ID:
- Brian Rosen was brought on as a co-author
- Requirements that a location header were negatively received in
the previous version of this document. AD and chair advice was to
move all location information into a message body (and stay away
from headers)
- Added a section of "emergency call" specific requirements
- Added an Open Issues section to mention what hasn't been resolved
yet in this effort
This is a list of the changes that have been made from the
individual submission version -00 to the -01 version
- Added the IPR Statement section
- Adjusted a few requirements based on suggestions from the
Minneapolis meeting
- Added requirements that the UAC is to include from where it
learned its location in any transmission of its LI
- Distinguished the facts (known to date) that certain jurisdictions
relieve persons of their right to privacy when they call an ERC,
while other jurisdictions maintain a person's right to privacy,
while still others maintain a person's right to privacy - but only
if they ask that their service be set up that way.
- Made the decision that TLS is the security mechanism for location
conveyance in emergency communications (vs. S/MIME, which is still
the mechanism for UA-to-UA non-emergency location conveyance
cases).
- Added the Open Issue of whether a Proxy can insert location
information into an emergency SIP INVITE message, and some of the
open questions surrounding the implications of that action
- added a few names to the acknowledgements section
2. In the Body or in a Header
When one user agent wants to inform another user agent where they
are, it seems reasonable to have this accomplished by placing the
Polk & Rosen [Page 4]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
location information (coordinate or civic) in an S/MIME registered
and encoded message body, and sending it as part of a SIP request or
response. No routing of the request based on the location
information is required in this case; therefore no SIP Proxies
between these two UAs need to view the location information
contained in the SIP messages.
Although SIP [1} does not permit a proxy server to modify or delete
a body, there is no restriction on viewing bodies. However, S/MIME
protection implemented on bodies is only specified between UAS and
UAC, and if engaged, would render the location object opaque to a
proxy server for any desired modification if it is not correct or
precise enough from that proxy's point of view (were it to be able
to view it). This problem is similar to that raised in Session
Policy [8], where an intermediary may need information in a body,
such as IP address of media streams or codec choices to route a call
properly. Requirements in [8] are applicable to routing based on
location, and are incorporated in these requirements by reference.
It is conceivable to create a new header for location information.
However, [7] prefers S/MIME for security of Location Information,
and indeed S/MIME is preferable in SIP for protecting one part of a
message. Accordingly, these requirements specify location be
carried in a body.
It is the use of S/MIME however, that limits routing based on
location. Therefore, it seems appropriate to require that, where
routing is dependent on location, protection of the location
information object be accomplished by other mechanisms: here TLS
("sips:" from [1]). It is envisioned that S/MIME SHOULD be used
when location information is not required by proxy servers, and TLS
MUST be used when it is. The UAC will need to know the difference
in the call's intent as to which security mechanism to engage for LI
conveyance.
This document does not address the behavior or configuration of SIP
Proxy Servers in these cases in order to accomplish location-
sensitive routing. That is out of scope, and left for further
(complementary) efforts.
3. Scope of Location in a Message Body
As concluded from the previous section, location information is to
be contained within a message body. If either another body (SDP for
example) is also to be sent in the message, or the LI is to be
protected with S/MIME, the rules stated in section 7 of [1]
regarding multipart MIME bodies MUST be followed. The format and
privacy/security rules of the location information SHOULD be defined
within the Geopriv WG.
Polk & Rosen [Page 5]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
4. Requirements for UA-to-UA Location Conveyance
The following are the requirements for UA-to-UA Location Conveyance
Situations where routing is not based on the LI of either UA:
U-U1 - MUST work with dialog-initiating SIP Requests and responses,
as well as the SIP MESSAGE method [4], and SHOULD work with
most SIP messages.
U-U2 - UAC Location information SHOULD remain confidential in route
to the destination UA.
U-U3 - The privacy and security rules established within the
Geopriv Working Group that would categorize SIP as a 'using
protocol' MUST be met [7].
U-U4 - The LI MUST be contained in the LO as defined in [13],
which will satisfy all format requirements for
interoperability.
U-U5 - The requirements of a "using protocol" by RFC 3693
(Geopriv Requirements) MUST be met.
5. Requirements for UA-to-Proxy Server Location Conveyance
The following are the requirements for UA-to-Proxy Server Location
Conveyance situations:
U-PS1 - MUST work with dialog-initiating SIP Requests and
responses, as well as the SIP MESSAGE method[4], and SHOULD
work with most SIP messages.
U-PS2 - UAC location information SHOULD remain confidential with
respect to entities to which the location information is
not addressed, but MUST be useable by intermediary proxy
servers.
U-PS3 - The privacy and security rules established within the
Geopriv Working Group which would categorize SIP as a
'using protocol' MUST be met [7].
U-PS4 - Modification or removal of the LO by proxy servers MUST NOT
be required (as [1] currently forbids this).
U-PS5 - any mechanism used to prevent unwanted observation of this
Location Information CANNOT fail the SIP Request if not
understood by intermediary SIP entities or the destination
UAS.
Polk & Rosen [Page 6]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
U-PS6 - Proxy Servers that do not or cannot understand the Location
Information in the message body for routing purposes MUST
NOT fail the SIP Request.
U-PS7 û It MUST be possible for a proxy server to assert the
validity of the location information provided by the UA.
Alternatively, it is acceptable for there to be a mechanism
for a proxy server to assert a location object itself.
6. Additional Requirements for Emergency Calls
Emergency calls have requirements that are not generally important
to other uses for location in SIP:
Emergency calls presently have between 2 and 8-second call setup
times. There is ample evidence that the longer call setup end of
the range causes an unacceptable number of callers to abandon the
call before it is completed. Two-second call completion time is a
goal of many existing emergency call centers. Allocating 25% of the
call set up for processing privacy concerns seems reasonable; 1
second would be 50% of the goal, which seems unacceptable; less than
0.5 second seems unachievable, therefore:
E-1 - Privacy mechanisms MUST add no more than 0.5 second of call
setup time when implemented in present technology UAs and
Proxy Servers.
It may be acceptable for full privacy mechanisms related to the
location of the UAC (and it's user) to be tried on an initial
attempt to place a call, as long as the call attempt may be retried
without the mechanism if the first attempt fails. Abandoning
privacy in cases of failure of the privacy mechanism might be
subject to user preference, although such a feature would be within
the domain of a UA implementation and thus not subject to
standardization. It should be noted that some jurisdictions have
laws that explicitly deny any expectation of location privacy when
making an emergency call, while others grant the user the ability to
remain anonymous even when calling an ERC. So far, this has been
offered in some jurisdictions, but the user within that jurisdiction
must state this preference, as it is not the default configuration.
E-2 û Privacy mechanisms MUST NOT be mandatory for successful
conveyance of location during an (sos-type) emergency call.
E-3 - It MUST be possible to provide a privacy mechanism (that does
not violate the other requirements within this document) to a
user within a jurisdiction that gives that user the right to
choose not to reveal their location even when contacting an
ERC.
Polk & Rosen [Page 7]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
E-4 û The retention and retransmission policy of the ERC MUST be
able to be made available to the user, and override the
user's normal policy when local regulation governs such
retention and retransmission (but does not violate
requirement E-3). As in E-2 above, requiring the use of the
ERC's retention and/or retransmission policy may be subject
to user preference although in most jurisdictions, local laws
specify such policies and may not be overridden by user
preference.
Location information is considered so important during emergency
calls, that it is to be transmitted even when it is not considered
reliable, or might even be wrong. For example, some application
might know that the DHCP reply with location information was
overwritten recently (or exactly) when a VPN connection was
activated. This could, and likely will, provide any new location
information to the UA from somewhere far away from the UA (perhaps
the user's corporate facility).
E-5 Location information MUST be transmitted, if known to the UAC,
in all calls to an ERC, even in the case it is not considered
reliable.
With that in mind, it is important to distinguish the location
information learned locally from LI learned over a VPN; which in
itself is useful additional information to that ERC operator.
E-7 THE UA must provide the actual LI of the endpoint, and not
location which might have been erroneously given to it by, e.g.
a VPN tunnel DHCP server.
7. Location Conveyance using SIP
Geopriv is the IETF working group assigned to define a Location
Object for carrying within another protocol to convey geographic
location of an endpoint to another entity. This Location Object
will be supplied within SIP to convey location of a UA (or user of a
UA). The Location Object (LO) is defined in [13]. Section 26 of [1]
defines the security functionality SIPS for transporting SIP
messages with either TLS or IPsec, and S/MIME for encrypting message
bodies from SIP intermediaries that would otherwise have access to
reading the clear-text bodies. For UA-to-UA location conveyance,
using the PIDF-LO body satisfies the entire format and message-
handling requirements as stated in the baseline Geopriv requirements
[7]. SIP entities that will carry an LO MUST IMPLEMENT S/MIME for
encrypting on an end-to-end basis the location of a user agent,
satisfying [7]'s security requirements. The SIPS-URI from [1]
SHOULD also be used for further message protection (message
integrity, authentication and message confidentiality) and MUST be
used when S/MIME is not used. The entities sending and receiving
the LO MUST implement the privacy and security instructions in the
Polk & Rosen [Page 8]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
LO.
Self-signed certificates SHOULD NOT be used for protecting LI, as
the sender does not have a secure identity of the recipient.
Several LOs MAY be included in a body as long as the message length
is less than the maximum permitted for a single message in the
network the Location will be conveyed within.
Several SIP Methods are capable (and applicable) to carry the LO.
The Methods are divided into two groups, one for those applicable
for UA-to-UA location conveyance, and the other group for UA-to-
Proxy Location conveyance for routing the message.
The list of applicable Methods for UA-to-UA location conveyance is:
INVITE,
UPDATE,
MESSAGE, and
PUBLISH.
The list of applicable Methods for UA-to-Proxy location conveyance
is:
INVITE,
UPDATE, and maybe
MESSAGE
While the authors do not yet see a reason to have location conveyed
in the OPTIONS, ACK, PRACK, BYE, REFER and CANCEL Methods, we do not
see a reason to prevent carrying a LO within these Method Requests
as long as the SIP message meets the requirements stated within this
document.
A 200 OK to an INVITE can carry the UAS's LO back to the UAC that
provided their location in the INVITE, but this is not something
that can be required due to the timing of the INVITE to 200 OK
messages, with potential local/user policy requiring the called user
to get involved in determining if the caller is someone they wish to
give location to (and at what precision).
There is an open question as to whether the SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY
Methods should be addressed in this document, or another document at
a later date. This combination of Methods would be used in SIP by
having a UA or SIP Server offering a subscription to another UA for
the purposes of location refresh if the subscribed-to UA changes
location within a given time interval. This capability is not
currently considered critical, and considered "phase II" within the
Geopriv working group, but it is an open question here as to whether
the SIP/SIPPING WGs want this to be specified here as a behavior (it
should be pretty straight forward).
Polk & Rosen [Page 9]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
For UA-to-Proxy location conveyance, there are two cases: one in
which all proxies on the path from the UA to the proxy that requires
location can be trusted with the LI, and one in which intermediate
proxies may not be trusted. The former may be implemented with
"hop-by-hop" security as specified in [1] using sips: (i.e. TLS
security). In particular, emergency call routing requires routing
proxies to know location, and sips: protection is appropriate. The
latter case is under study by the SIPPING working group under the
subject "End to Middle" security [12].
Regardless which scenario (UA-to-UA or UA-to-Proxy) is used to
convey location, SIP entities MUST adhere to the rules of [7],
specifically the retention and distribution (privacy) attributes of
a UA's location. When Alice is deciding how to transmit her
location, she should be keenly aware of the parameters in which she
wants her location to be stored and distributed. However, once she
sends that location information to Bob, he MUST also now obey
Alice's wishes regarding these privacy attributes if he is deciding
to inform another party about Alice. This is a fundamental
principle of the Geopriv Working Group, i.e. "PRIVACY".
8. User Agent-to-User Agent Location Conveyance
The offered solution here for the User-to-User solution for location
conveyance between UAs is used with the INVITE, UPDATE, MESSAGE, and
PUBLISH Methods in the following subsections.
8.1 UA-to-UA using INVITE Method
Below is a common SIP session set-up sequence between two user
agents. In this example, Alice will provide Bob with her geographic
location in the INVITE message.

Figure 1. UA-UA with Location in INVITE
Polk & Rosen [Page 10]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
User agent Alice INVITEs user agent Bob to a session [M1 of Figure
1]. Within this INVITE is a multipart body indication that it is
S/MIME encrypted [according to the rules of 1] by Alice for Bob.
One body part contains the SDP offered by Alice to Bob. Alice's
location (here coordinate based) is the other body part contained in
this INVITE. Bob responses with a 200 OK [M2] (choosing a codec as
specified by the Offer/Answer Model [14]). Bob can include his
location in the 200 OK response, but this shouldn't be expected due
to user timing. If Bob wants to provide his location to Alice after
the 200 OK, but before a BYE, the UPDATE Method [9] should be used.
Alice's UA replies with an ACK and the session is set up.
Figure 1. does not include any Proxies because in it assumed they
would not affect the session set-up with respect to whether or not
Alice's location is in a message body part, and Proxies don't react
to S/MIME bodies, making their inclusion more or less moot and more
complex than necessary.
The most relevant message in Figure 1 having to do with location is
(obviously) the message with the location object in it [M1]. So to
cut down on length of this document, only the INVITE message in this
example will be shown. Section 8.1.1 will give an example of this
well formed INVITE message using a Coordinate location format.
Section 8.1.2 will give an example of this well formed INVITE
message using the civic location format.

8.1.3 UA-to-UA Location Conveyance Involving 3 Users
In the following example, Alice presents her location in the INVITE
to Bob, which Bob 200 OKs with his location as well. Bob then
directs Alice to contact Carol with both their locations in the same
message. The REFER Method [15] is used in the message sequence, but
it does not carry anyone's location within the REFER message. This
example is here to show a 3-way communication of location, coupled
with how a UA can include someone else's location. This has
security implications due to neither primary party in the last
location transfer being the owner of the location information.
Alice (in this case) MUST adhere to the retention and distribution
privacy requirements within Bob's location object regarding his
location information prior to considering its inclusion in the
INVITE to Carol.

It is an open question of whether there should be a mechanism to
request or require the transmission of an LO. The LO is contained
in a body, so the usual sip mechanisms do not apply.
8.2 UA-to-UA Using MESSAGE Method
Anytime a user transmits geographic location outside of an INVITE
Request to another user, the MESSAGE Method is to be used. This
applies even when two users are in an existing dialog. The logic
here is as follows:
- a NOTIFY isn't appropriate because there was not a SUBSCRIBE
performed and accepted.
- a UPDATE isn't appropriate because it is for the updating of
session capabilities and parameters before a dialog is
established, but after a dialog request has been sent. If
Alice and Bob were in an existing dialog, UPDATE is already
outside its window of usage based on [9].
There is one exception to this for UA-to-UA conveyance: if Alice
sent her location in an INVITE, but has moved before receiving a
200 OK, her UA may send an UPDATE to Bob with new location
information.
NOTE: A similar use for UPDATE is within the UA-to-Proxy Location
Conveyance section of this document.
- reINVITE isn't appropriate because it is only used (or only
supposed to be used) for changing the capabilities and/or
parameters of an existing dialog. Transferring location has
nothing in the UA-to-UA conveyance case to do with the actual
dialog, so it does not apply here.
This leaves MESSAGE as the only viable Request Method for location
conveyance outside of a dialog between two users (Alice and Bob in
this case).

8.3 UA-to-UA Location Conveyance Using UPDATE
UPDATE MUST NOT be used to send geographic location from UA-to-UA
unless location has already been sent in an INVITE that was the
first message in the same dialog set-up. The same security
properties used in the INVITE MUST be used in the UPDATE message.
The only reason for sending location in an UPDATE message is if
Alice's UA (in the common example used throughout this document) has
moved prior to receiving Bob's 200 OK to the original INVITE. How
this movement is determined is outside the scope of this document,
but ultimately should be configurable by local administration or the
user of the UA. By how much Alice has moved to trigger the "sense
of movement" (i.e. the need to send new location) to Bob is outside
the scope of this document, but ultimately should be configurable by
local administration or the user of the UA.
In Figure 3., we have an example message flow involving the UPDATE

Method. We are not including all the messages for space reasons. M1
is a well formed SIP message that contains Alice's location. During
the session set-up, Alice's UA knows it has moved while knowing too
the session has not been formally accepted by Bob. Alice's UA
decides to update Bob with her new location with an UPDATE Method
message. Messages M2, M3 and M4 have nothing to do with location
conveyance, therefore will not be shown in detail. Only M1 and M5
will be shown.

8.4 UA-to-UA Location Conveyance Using PUBLISH
** This section could not be completed before submission time and
will be completed shortly after IETF60 (unless). A thousand pardons.
9. Special Considerations for Emergency Calls
When a Proxy Server knows to look for the location message body to
route an emergency call as in [11].
Polk & Rosen [Page 30]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
Emergency calls, which might be detected as detailed in 3, have
special rules for conveyance of location:
1. An emergency call MUST have all LI available to the UA, if
any, sent with the INVITE, and subsequent UPDATE or reINVITE
messages as a PIDF-LO in a body
2. The LO must be protected with sips: UNLESS the attempt to
establish hop-by-hop TLS connections fails and cannot
reasonably be established in a very short (less than a second)
time. In such a case, the LO SHOULD be sent without TLS ONLY
for those hops that cannot support TLS establishment.
3. User Agents MUST NOT use S/MIME
Proxies MUST NOT remove a location message body at any time. If
there is a condition that a Proxy adds a location message body,
it:
4. MUST NOT produce a message length over current SIP message
limits (1300 bytes [per 3428])
5. MUST indicate within that added message body that body came
from that server (by some naming convention not defined here)
9.1 UA-to-Proxy Routing the Message with INVITE (secure)
When Alice signifies "sos@" [per 3], her UA must understand this
message MUST NOT use S/MIME for the message body, because this is an
emergency call - otherwise the message will not properly route to
the correct destination. Two definite possibilities will exist for
how this message flow will occur [note: the message flows are not
being defined here, they are defined in [11], but two are shown here
to show the messages themselves]. The first possibility has Alice
sending her INVITE to her first hop Proxy, which recognizes the
message as an emergency message. The Proxy knows to look into the
message bodies for the location body; determine where Alice is and
route the call to the appropriate ERC. This is shown in Figure 4A.

Once the Proxy receives M1 and recognizes it as an emergency INVITE
Request, this proxy knows to look into the message body for a
location body part to determine the location of the UAC in order to
match the location to an ERC. Once this look-up occurs, the message
is sent directly to the ERC (in message [M2]).

The second probability in message flows is in Figure 4B. in which
the first hop Proxy does not either: understand location, or does
not know where the appropriate ERC is to route the message to. In
either case, that Proxy forwards the message to another Proxy for
proper message routing ([11] talks to how this occurs).

Figure 4B. UA-PROXY with Location in INVITE
In message flows similar to 4A and/or 4B, the Record-Route header
could be added by the proxies, this is OPTIONAL in usage and left to
other documents to refine.
In the case of an identifiable emergency call, something that cannot
happen is for any Proxy to Challenge [per 1] the INVITE message. In
fact, while usage of the SIPS URI is encouraged and SHOULD be used,
it MUST NOT be mandatory for successful message routing. If the
first SIPS INVITE fails for security property reasons, the second
attempt by Alice (in these examples) MUST be allowed to be in the
clear, not challenged, and routed properly. Security mechanisms
MUST NOT fail any call attempt, and if they do once, they MUST NOT
be mandatory for the subsequent attempt for a successful session
set-up to an ERC. The results of this are that the Proxy that
failed the first attempt for security reasons MUST be aware of this
failed attempt for the subsequent attempt that MUST process without
failure a second time. It must be assumed that the INVITE in any
instance is considered "well formed".

9.2 UA-to-Proxy Routing with UPDATE
If the previous example of the location contained in the INVITE were
to account for the movement of Alice (and her UA) before the ERC
responded with a 200 OK, the UPDATE method is the appropriate SIP
Request Method to use to update the proxies and ERC personnel that
Alice has moved geo-locations from where she initially made her set-
up request.
In this scenario (shown in the call flow of Figure 5A), Alice
sending the UPDATE message here may cause the Proxy to CANCEL an
existing pending INVITE Request, and retransmit INVITE to a NEW
ERC(2), for example, if she walked across a street into a new ERC
coverage area. The Proxy MUST remain transaction stateful in order
to be aware of the 200 OK Response from ERC1. Upon receiving the
UPDATE from Alice and analyzing the location provided by the message
looking for a geographic change, either forwarding that message to
ERC1 if the change is still within ERC1's coverage area, or deciding
to forward a message to another ERC covering where Alice is now
(ERC2 in this case) with her new location. If the later change in
destinations is required, the Proxy MUST CANCEL the pending INVITE
to ERC1 (with a 487 "terminated request" being the specified
response).
Polk & Rosen [Page 36]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
SIPS MUST be used by Alice initially. Upon any failure of the
initial Request, Alice's UA can decide to send the new message
without SIPS.

9.2.2 UA-to-Proxy Routing the Message with UPDATE (unsecure)
left blank for now
10. Meeting RFC3693 Requirements
Section 7.2 of [7] details the requirements of a "using protocol".
They are:
Req. 4. The using protocol has to obey the privacy and security
instructions coded in the Location Object and in the
corresponding Rules regarding the transmission and storage of the
LO.
This document requires, in Section 7, that SIP entities sending or
receiving location MUST obey such instructions.
Req. 5. The using protocol will typically facilitate that the keys
associated with the credentials are transported to the respective
parties, that is, key establishment is the responsibility of the
using protocol.
[1] and the documents it references define the key establish
mechanisms.
Polk & Rosen [Page 40]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
Req. 6. (Single Message Transfer) In particular, for tracking of
small target devices, the design should allow a single
message/packet transmission of location as a complete
transaction.
This document specifies that the LO be contained in the body of a
single message.
11. Current Known Open issues
This is a list of open issues that have not yet been addressed to
conclusion:
1) Whether SIP Proxies SHOULD be able to insert location information
into an emergency call set-up (the INVITE)?
1a) This has the additional implication of whether or not, or
regardless of the fact the UAC already inserted location into
the sos@homedomain INVITE.
1b) Should the Proxy somehow differentiate its location
information from that provided by the UAC (with each LI
having a SIP entity (type?) originator label?
1c) Should there be any behavior difference with respect to Open
Issue #1b if the Proxy does not know or cannot tell if the
UAC inserted location information (further emphasizing the
need for some form of originator label)?
2) Whether SIP Proxies SHOULD be able to return location information
in a Redirect message to the UAC making the emergency call?
12. New Open Issues
These are new open issues to be addressed within this document or
the topics/areas dropped from consideration:
1) How do we handle proxy authenticated location?
2) What do we do in an Offer/Answer model where the INV contains an
Offer to the UAS asking which format they want to receive?
3) What do we do with Alice wanting Bob's Location in the 200 OK (to
her INVITE with location)?
4) What about a new 4XX error for unknown or bad location given?
5) There is the case in the Proxy Routing in which a UAC sent an
INVITE to sos@ without a location message body. Does this
Polk & Rosen [Page 41]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
necessitate the need for a 4XX level error informing the UAC to
"retry with the location message body included this time"?
Another spin on this is if the UAC doesn't know it's location and
wants to ask a Proxy server to include the UAC's location if it
is known to the Proxy...
6) How or should we get into a Redirect message from a PS that
contains a Location body for that UAC? Should we RECOMMEND a UAC
that receives a 3XX Reply to an INVITE that contains a Location
body with a presence line signifying the UAC, the UAC MUST
include that Location body in the new INVITE?
6a) What if the UAC already sent a Location body in the original
message, should it replace the location body with what the PS
included, or include both?
6ai) If we state "both", which we agreed in the past is a good
idea, I see no way in the PIDF-LO or in MIME to denote
which message body came from Alice and which came from
the PS...
7) The authors failed to get this document reclassified into a
specification effort (from a requirements ID effort)
7a) will re-request to the ADs after IETF60 for this
8) Req U-PS7 (Proxy Assertion of a Location body) is not addressable
yet in SIP (as Identity is barely addressable).
8a) Should this requirement remain as a goal?
9) From section 9.2 (Emergency call with an updated location), if
Alice does venture into another coverage area, how does her new
UPDATE with new location get sent to a second (and now
appropriate) ERC(2)?
The pending INVITE needs to be cancelled or able to be
sequentially forked (which not all Proxies will be able to do).
Without that occurring, the new UPDATE will not cause a new
INVITE to be originated from the Proxy towards ERC2... and what
happens to the UPDATE message (which cannot be an original
request into ERC2)?
13. Security Considerations
Conveyance of geo-location of a UAC is problematic for many reasons.
This document calls for that conveyance to normally be accomplished
through secure message body means (like S/MIME or TLS). In cases
where a session set-up is routed based on the location of the UAC
initiating the session or SIP MESSAGE, securing the location with an
Polk & Rosen [Page 42]
Internet Draft SIP Location Reqs July 19th, 2004
end-to-end mechanism such as S/MIME is problematic.
14. IANA Considerations
There are no IANA considerations within this document at this time.
