<t>This document proposes the use of OAuth 2.0 to obtain and validate
ephemeral tokens that can be used for Session Traversal Utilities for
NAT (STUN) authentication. The usage of ephemeral tokens ensures that
access to a STUN server can be controlled even if the tokens are
compromised.</t>

<section anchor="introduction" title="Introduction">
<t>Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) <xref
target="RFC5389"></xref> provides a mechanism to control access via
"long-term" username/ password credentials that are provided as part of
the STUN protocol. It is expected that these credentials will be kept
secret; if the credentials are discovered, the STUN server could be used
by unauthorized users or applications. However, in web applications like
WebRTC <xref target="I-D.ietf-rtcweb-overview"></xref> where JavaScript
uses the browser functionality to make real-time audio and/or video
calls, Web conferencing, and direct data transfer, ensuring this secrecy
is typically not possible.</t>
<t>To address this problem and the ones described in <xref
target="RFC7376"></xref>, this document proposes the use of third party
authorization using OAuth 2.0 <xref target="RFC6749"></xref> for STUN.
Using OAuth 2.0, a client obtains an ephemeral token from an
authorization server e.g. WebRTC server, and the token is presented to
the STUN server instead of the traditional mechanism of presenting
username/password credentials. The STUN server validates the
authenticity of the token and provides required services. Third party
authorization using OAuth 2.0 for STUN explained in this specification
can also be used with Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) <xref
target="RFC5766"></xref>.</t>

<t>Some sections in this specification show WebRTC server as the

</section>
<section anchor="problem_stmt" title="Solution Overview">
<t>STUN client knows that it can use OAuth 2.0 with the target STUN
server either through configuration or when it receives the new STUN
attribute THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION in the error response with an error
code of 401(Unauthorized).</t>
<t>This specification uses the token type 'Assertion' (aka
self-contained token) described in <xref target="RFC6819"></xref> where
all the information necessary to authenticate the validity of the token
is contained within the token itself. This approach has the benefit of
avoiding a protocol between the STUN server and the authorization server
for token validation, thus reducing latency. The content of the token is
opaque to the client. The client embeds the token within a STUN request
sent to the STUN server. Once the STUN server has determined the token
is valid, its services are offered for a determined period of time.
Access token issued by the authorization server is explained in <xref
target="token"></xref>. OAuth 2.0 in <xref target="RFC6749"></xref>
defines four grant types. This specification uses the OAuth 2.0 grant
type "Implicit" explained in section 1.3.2 of <xref
target="RFC6749"></xref> where the client is issued an access token
directly. The string 'stun' is defined by this specification for use as
the OAuth scope parameter (see section 3.3 of <xref
target="RFC6749"></xref>) for the OAuth token.</t>
<t>The exact mechanism used by a client to obtain a token from the OAuth
2.0 authorization server is outside the scope of this document. <xref
target="Interaction"></xref> provides an example deployment scenario of
interaction between the client and authorization server to obtain a
token.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="oauth" title="Obtaining a Token Using OAuth">
<t>A STUN client needs to know the authentication capability of the STUN
server before deciding to use third party authorization. A STUN client
initially makes a request without any authorization. If the STUN server
supports third party authorization, it will return an error message
indicating that the client can authorize to the STUN server using an
OAuth 2.0 access token. The STUN server includes an ERROR-CODE attribute
with a value of 401 (Unauthorized), a nonce value in a NONCE attribute
and a SOFTWARE attribute that gives information about the STUN server's
software. The STUN server also includes the additional STUN attribute
THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION signaling the STUN client that the STUN server
supports third party authorization.</t>
<t>Note: An implementation may choose to contact the authorization
server to obtain a token even before it makes a STUN request, if it
knows the server details before hand. For example, once a client has
learnt that a STUN server supports third party authorization from a
authorization server, the client can obtain the token before making
subsequent STUN requests.</t>
<section title="Key Establishment">
<t>The authorization server shares a long-term secret (like asymmetric
credentials) with the STUN server for mutual authentication.
Symmetric-key algorithm with Hash based Message Authentication Codes
(HMACs) MUST be chosen to ensure that the size of encrypted token is
not large because usage of asymmetric keys will result in large
encrypted tokens which may not fit into a single STUN message.</t>
<t>The STUN server and authorization server can establish a symmetric
key (K), using an out of band mechanism. If symmetric key is used then
the AS-RS and AUTH keys will be derived from K. The AS-RS key is used
for encrypting the self-contained token and the message integrity of
the encrypted token is calculated using the AUTH key. The STUN and
authorization servers MUST establish the symmetric key over an
authenticated secure channel.</t>
<t>The procedure for establishment of the symmetric key is outside the
scope of this specification, and this specification does not mandate
support of any given mechanism. <xref target="DSKPP"></xref>, <xref
target="HTTP"></xref> and <xref target="Manual"></xref> show examples
of mechanisms that can be used.</t>
<section anchor="DSKPP" title="DSKPP">
<t>The STUN and AS servers could choose to use Dynamic Symmetric Key
Provisioning Protocol <xref target="RFC6063">(DSKPP)</xref> to
establish a symmetric key (K). The encryption and MAC algorithms
will be negotiated using the KeyProvClientHello, KeyProvServerHello
messages. A unique key identifier (referred to as KeyID) for the
symmetric key is generated by the DSKPP server (i.e., Authorization
server) and signalled to the DSKPP client (i.e., STUN server) which
is equivalent to the kid defined in this specification. The AS-RS,
AUTH keys would be derived from the symmetric key using (HMAC)-based
key derivation function (HKDF) <xref target="RFC5869"></xref> and
the default hash function MUST be SHA-256. For example if the input
symmetric key (K) is 32 octets length, encryption algorithm is
AES_256_CBC and HMAC algorithm is HMAC-SHA1 <xref
target="RFC2104"></xref> then the secondary keys AS-RS, AUTH are
generated from the input key K as follows</t>
<t><list style="numbers">
<t>HKDF-Extract(zero, K) -> PRK</t>
<t>HKDF-Expand(PRK, "AUTH key", 20) -> AUTH key</t>
<t>HKDF-Expand(PRK, "AS-RS key", 32) -> AS-RS key</t>
</list></t>
<t>If Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) algorithm
defined in <xref target="RFC5116"></xref> is used then there is no
need to generate the AUTH key. AEAD simplifies implementation, since
it involves only one key, the user of AEAD need not consider
relative order of encrypting and authenticating the token and other
benefits of AEAD are explained in Section 1.3 of <xref
target="RFC5116"></xref>.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="HTTP" title="HTTP interactions">
<t>The STUN and AS servers could choose to use REST API over HTTPS
to establish a symmetric key. HTTPS MUST be used for mutual
authentication and confidentiality. To retrieve a new symmetric key,
the STUN server makes an HTTP GET request to the authorization
server, specifying STUN as the service to allocate the symmetric
keys for, and specifying the name of the STUN server. The response
is returned with content-type "application/json", and consists of a
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) <xref target="RFC7159"></xref>
object containing the symmetric key.</t>

</figure></t>
<t>The AS-RS, AUTH keys are derived from K using HKDF as discussed
in <xref target="DSKPP"></xref>. The authorization server must also
signal kid to the STUN server which will be used to select the
appropriate keying material for decryption. The parameter "k" is
defined in Section 6.4.1 of <xref
target="I-D.ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms"></xref>, "enc" is defined
in Section 4.1.2 of <xref

other authenticated encryption algorithms are defined in <xref
target="I-D.ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms"></xref>. In this case
AS-RS key length must be 256-bit, AUTH key length must be 256-bit
(section 2.6 of <xref target="RFC4868"></xref>).</t>
</section>
<section anchor="Manual" title="Manual provisioning">
<t>The STUN and AS servers could be manually configured with a
symmetric key (K) and kid. If manual provisioning is supported,
support MUST also be provided for AES_256_CBC_HMAC_SHA_512
(explained in <xref
target="I-D.ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms"></xref>) as the
authenticated encryption algorithm.</t>
<t>Note : The mechanism specified in <xref target="Manual"></xref>
compared to DSKPP and REST lacks encryption and HMAC algorithm
agility.</t>

</section>
</section>
<section anchor="Request" title="Forming a Request">
<t>When a STUN server responds that third party authorization is
required, a STUN client re-attempts the request, this time including
access token and kid values in ACCESS-TOKEN and USERNAME STUN
attributes. The STUN client includes a MESSAGE-INTEGRITY attribute as
the last attribute in the message over the contents of the STUN message.
The HMAC for the MESSAGE-INTEGRITY attribute is computed as described in
section 15.4 of <xref target="RFC5389"></xref> where the mac_key is used
as the input key for the HMAC computation. The STUN client and server
will use the mac_key to compute the message integrity and do not perform
MD5 hash on the credentials.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="attr" title="STUN Attributes">
<t>The following new STUN attributes are introduced by this
specification to accomplish third party authorization.</t>
<section anchor="attribute" title="THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION">
<t>This attribute is used by the STUN server to inform the client that
it supports third party authorization. This attribute value contains
the STUN server name. The STUN server may have tie-ups with multiple
authorization servers and vice versa, so the client MUST provide the
STUN server name to the authorization server so that it can select the
appropriate keying material to generate the self-contained token. The
THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION attribute is a comprehension-optional
attribute (see Section 15 from <xref target="RFC5389"></xref>). If the
client is able to comprehend THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION it MUST ensure
that third party authorization takes precedence over first party
authentication (explained in section 10 of <xref
target="RFC5389"></xref>). If the client does not support or is not
capable of doing third party authorization then it defaults to first
party authentication.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="token" title="ACCESS-TOKEN">
<t>The access token is issued by the authorization server. OAuth 2.0
does not impose any limitation on the length of the access token but
if path MTU is unknown then STUN messages over IPv4 would need to be
less than 548 bytes (Section 7.1 of <xref target="RFC5389"></xref>).
The access token length needs to be restricted to fit within the
maximum STUN message size. Note that the self-contained token is
opaque to the client and the client MUST NOT examine the token. The
ACCESS-TOKEN attribute is a comprehension-required attribute (see
Section 15 from <xref target="RFC5389"></xref>).</t>
<t>The token is structured as follows:</t>
<t><figure anchor="token1" title="Self-contained token format">
<artwork align="left"><![CDATA[ struct {

uint8_t padding[padding_length];
} encrypted_block;
opaque mac[mac_length];
uint8_t mac_length;
} token;
]]></artwork>
</figure></t>
<t>Note: uintN_t means an unsigned integer of exactly N bits.
Single-byte entities containing uninterpreted data are of type opaque.
All values in the token are stored in network byte order.</t>
<t>The fields are described below:</t>
<t><list style="hanging">
<t hangText="key_length:">Length of the session key in octets. Key
length of 160-bits MUST be supported (i.e., only 160-bit key is
used by HMAC-SHA-1 for message integrity of STUN message). The key
length facilitates the hash agility plan discussed in section 16.3
of <xref target="RFC5389"></xref>.</t>
<t hangText="mac_key:">The session key generated by the
authorization server.</t>
<t hangText="timestamp:">64-bit unsigned integer field containing
a timestamp. The value indicates the time since January 1, 1970,
00:00 UTC, by using a fixed point format. In this format, the
integer number of seconds is contained in the first 48 bits of the
field, and the remaining 16 bits indicate the number of 1/64K
fractions of a second (Native format - Unix).</t>
<t hangText="lifetime:">The lifetime of the access token, in
seconds. For example, the value 3600 indicates one hour. The
lifetime value MUST be greater than or equal to the "expires_in"
parameter defined in section 4.2.2 of <xref
target="RFC6749"></xref>, otherwise resource server could revoke
the token but the client would assume that the token has not
expired and would not refresh the token.</t>
<t hangText="padding_length:">The padding length MUST be such that
the total size of the encrypted_block structure is a multiple of
the cipher's block length.</t>
<t hangText="padding:">Padding that is added to force the length
of the plaintext to be an integral multiple of the block cipher's
block length.</t>
<t hangText="encrypted_block:">The encrypted_block is encrypted
using the symmetric long-term key established between the STUN
server and the authorization server. Shown in <xref
target="interactions"></xref> as AS-RS key.</t>
<t hangText="mac:">The Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC)
is calculated with the AUTH key over the 'encrypted_block' and the
STUN server name (N) conveyed in the THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION
response. This ensures that the client does not use the same token
to gain illegal access to other STUN servers provided by the same
administrative domain i.e., when multiple STUN servers in a single
administrative domain share the same symmetric key with an
authorization server.</t>
<t hangText="mac_length:">Length of the mac field.</t>
</list></t>
<t>An example encryption process is illustrated below. Here C, N
denote Ciphertext and STUN server name respectively.<list
style="symbols">
<t>C = AES_256_CBC(AS-RS, encrypted_block) <list style="symbols">
<t>Initialization vector can be set to zero because the

hence will not result in generation of identical
ciphertext.</t>
</list></t>
<t>mac = HMAC-SHA-256-128(AUTH, C | | N)</t>
</list></t>
<t>Encryption is applied before message authentication on the sender
side and conversely on the receiver side. The entire token i.e., the
'encrypted_block' and 'mac' is base64 encoded (see section 4 of <xref
target="RFC4648"></xref>) and the resulting access token is signaled
to the client. If AEAD algorithm is used then there is no need to
explicitly compute HMAC, the associated data MUST be the STUN server
name (N) and the mac field MUST carry the nonce. The length of nonce
for AEAD algorithms is explained in <xref
target="RFC5116"></xref>.</t>

</section>
<section anchor="Response" title="STUN Server Behaviour">
<t>The STUN server, on receiving a request with ACCESS-TOKEN attribute,
performs checks listed in section 10.2.2 of <xref
target="RFC5389"></xref> in addition to the following steps to verify
that the access token is valid:</t>
<t><list style="symbols">
<t>STUN server selects the keying material based on kid signalled in
the USERNAME attribute.</t>
<t>It performs the verification of the token message integrity by
calculating HMAC over the encrypted portion in the self-contained
token and STUN server name using AUTH key and if the resulting value
does not match the mac field in the self-contained token then it
rejects the request with an error response 401 (Unauthorized). If
AEAD algorithm is used then it has only a single output, either a
plaintext or a special symbol FAIL that indicates that the inputs
are not authentic.</t>
<t>STUN server obtains the mac_key by retrieving the content of the
access token (which requires decryption of the self-contained token
using the AS-RS key).</t>
<t>The STUN server verifies that no replay took place by performing
the following check: <list style="symbols">
<t>The access token is accepted if the timestamp field (TS) in
the self-contained token is recent enough to the reception time
of the STUN request (RDnew) using the following formula:
Lifetime + Delta > abs(RDnew - TS). The RECOMMENDED value for
the allowed Delta is 5 seconds. If the timestamp is NOT within
the boundaries then the STUN server discards the request with
error response 401 (Unauthorized).</t>
</list></t>
<t>The STUN server uses the mac_key to compute the message integrity
over the request and if the resulting value does not match the
contents of the MESSAGE-INTEGRITY attribute then it rejects the
request with an error response 401 (Unauthorized).</t>
<t>If all the checks pass, the STUN server continues to process the
request. Any response generated by the server MUST include the
MESSAGE-INTEGRITY attribute, computed using the mac_key.</t>
</list></t>
<t>If a STUN server receives an ACCESS-TOKEN attribute unexpectedly
(because it had not previously sent out a THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION), it
will respond with an error code of 420 (Unknown Attribute) as specified
in Section 7.3.1 of <xref target="RFC5389"></xref>.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="client" title="STUN Client Behaviour">
<t><list style="symbols">
<t>The client looks for the MESSAGE-INTEGRITY attribute in the

<section anchor="TURN" title="Usage with TURN">
<t>Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN) <xref target="RFC5766"></xref> an
extension to the STUN protocol is often used to improve the connectivity
of P2P applications. TURN ensures that a connection can be established
even when one or both sides is incapable of a direct P2P connection.
However, as a relay service, it imposes a nontrivial cost on the service
provider. Therefore, access to a TURN service is almost always
access-controlled. In order to achieve third party authorization, a
resource owner e.g. WebRTC server, authorizes a TURN client to access
resources on the TURN server.</t>
<t>Consider the following example that illustrates the use of OAuth 2.0
to achieve third party authorization for TURN. In this example, a
resource owner i.e., WebRTC server, authorizes a TURN client to access
resources on a TURN server.</t>

<t></t>
<t>Using the OAuth 2.0 authorization framework, a WebRTC client
(third-party application) obtains limited access to a TURN (resource
server) on behalf of the WebRTC server (resource owner or authorization
server). The WebRTC client requests access to resources controlled by
the resource owner (WebRTC server) and hosted by the resource server
(TURN server). The WebRTC client obtains access token, lifetime, session
key and kid. The TURN client conveys the access token and other OAuth
2.0 parameters learnt from the authorization server to the TURN server.
The TURN server obtains the session key from the access token. The TURN
server validates the token, computes the message integrity of the
request and takes appropriate action i.e, permits the TURN client to
create allocations. This is shown in an abstract way in <xref

<t>In the below figure, the client sends an Allocate request to the
server without credentials. Since the server requires that all requests
be authenticated using OAuth 2.0, the server rejects the request with a
401 (Unauthorized) error code and STUN attribute
THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION. The WebRTC client obtains access token from
the WebRTC server and then tries again, this time including access
token. This time, the server validates the token, accepts the Allocate
request and returns an Allocate success response containing (amongst
other things) the relayed transport address assigned to the
allocation.</t>

<t>Changes specific to TURN are listed below:</t>
<t><list style="symbols">
<t>The access token can be reused for multiple Allocate requests to
the same TURN server. The TURN client MUST include the ACCESS-TOKEN
attribute only in Allocate and Refresh requests. Since the access
token is valid for a specific period of time, the TURN server can
cache it so that it can check if the access token in a new
allocation request matches one of the cached tokens and avoids the
need to decrypt the token.</t>
<t>The lifetime provided by the TURN server in the Allocate and
Refresh responses MUST be less than or equal to the lifetime of the
token. It is RECOMMENDED that the TURN server calculate the maximum
allowed lifetime value using the formula:<figure>
<artwork><![CDATA[ lifetime + Delta - abs(RDnew - TS) ]]></artwork>
</figure>The RECOMMENDED value for the allowed Delta is 5
seconds.</t>
<t>If the access token expires then the client MUST obtain a new

The client MUST use the new token to refresh existing allocations.
This way client has to maintain only one token per TURN server.</t>

<t>When OAuth 2.0 is used the interaction between the client and the
authorization server requires Transport Layer Security (TLS) with a
ciphersuite offering confidentiality protection and the guidance given
in <xref target="I-D.ietf-uta-tls-bcp"></xref> must be followed to avoid
attacks on TLS. The session key MUST NOT be transmitted in clear since
this would completely destroy the security benefits of the proposed
scheme. An attacker trying to replay message with ACCESS-TOKEN attribute
can be mitigated by frequent changes of nonce value as discussed in
section 10.2 of <xref target="RFC5389"></xref>. The client may know some
(but not all) of the token fields encrypted with a unknown secret key
and the token can be subjected to known-plaintext attack, but AES is
secure against this attack.</t>
<t>An attacker may remove the THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION STUN attribute
from the error message forcing the client to pick first party
authentication, this attack may be mitigated by opting for Transport
Layer Security (TLS) <xref target="RFC5246"></xref> or Datagram
Transport Layer Security (DTLS) <xref target="RFC6347"></xref> as a
transport protocol for Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN), as
defined in <xref target="RFC5389"></xref>and <xref
target="RFC7350"></xref>.</t>
<t>Threat mitigation discussed in section 5 of <xref
target="I-D.ietf-oauth-pop-architecture"></xref> and security
considerations in <xref target="RFC5389"></xref> are to be taken into

<t><xref target="I-D.ietf-oauth-pop-key-distribution"></xref> describes
the interaction between the client and the authorization server. For
example, the client learns the STUN server name
“stun1@example.com” from THIRD-PARTY-AUTHORIZATION attribute
value and makes the following HTTP request for the access token using
transport-layer security (with extra line breaks for display purposes
only):</t>
<t><figure anchor="Example1" title="Request">
<artwork align="left"><![CDATA[ HTTP/1.1
Host: server.example.com

token_type=pop
alg=HMAC-SHA-1 HMAC-SHA-256-128
]]></artwork>
</figure></t>
<t><xref target="I-D.ietf-tram-stunbis"></xref> will support hash
agility and accomplish this agility by conveying the HMAC algorithms
supported by the STUN server along with a STUN error message to the
client. The client then signals the intersection-set of algorithms
supported by it and the STUN server to the authorization server in the
‘alg’ parameter defined in <xref
target="I-D.ietf-oauth-pop-key-distribution"></xref>. The authorization
server selects an HMAC algorithm from the list of algorithms the client
provided and determines length of the mac_key based on the selected HMAC
algorithm. Note that until STUN supports hash agility HMAC-SHA1 is the
only valid hash algorithm that the client can signal to the
authorization server and vice-versa.</t>
<t>If the client is authorized then the authorization server issues an
access token. An example of successful response:</t>
