43 This document specifies authorization extensions to the Transport
44 Layer Security (TLS) Handshake Protocol. Extensions carried in the
45 client and server hello messages to confirm that both parties support
46 the desired authorization data types. Then, if supported by both the
47 client and the server, authorization information is exchanged in the
48 supplemental data handshake message.
56 Brown & Housley [Page 1]
58 Internet-Draft April 2006
63 Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol [TLS1.0][TLS1.1] is being
64 used in an increasing variety of operational environments, including
65 ones that were not envisioned at the time of the original design for
66 TLS. The extensions introduced in this document are designed to
67 enable TLS to operate in environments where authorization information
68 needs to be exchanged between the client and the server before any
69 protected data is exchanged.
71 The use of these TLS authorization extensions is especially
72 attractive when more than one application protocol can make use of
73 the same authorization information. Straightforward binding of
74 identification, authentication, and authorization information is
75 possible when all of these are handled within TLS. If each
76 application requires unique authorization information, then it might
77 best be carried within the TLS-protected application protocol.
78 However, care must be taken to ensure appropriate bindings when
79 identification, authentication, and authorization information are
80 handled at different protocol layers.
82 This document describes authorization extensions for the TLS
83 Handshake Protocol in both TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. These extensions
84 observe the conventions defined for TLS Extensions [TLSEXT] that make
85 use of the general extension mechanisms for the client hello message
86 and the server hello message. The extensions described in this
87 document confirm that both the client and the server support the
88 desired authorization data types. Then, if supported, authorization
89 information is exchanged in the supplemental data handshake message
92 The authorization extensions may be used in conjunction with TLS 1.0
93 and TLS 1.1. The extensions are designed to be backwards compatible,
94 meaning that the Handshake Protocol Supplemental Data messages will
95 only contain authorization information of a particular type if the
96 client indicates support for them in the client hello message and the
97 server indicates support for them in the server hello message.
99 Clients typically know the context of the TLS session that is being
100 setup, thus the client can use the authorization extensions when they
101 are needed. Servers must accept extended client hello messages, even
102 if the server does not "understand" the all of the listed extensions.
103 However, the server will not indicate support for these "not
104 understood" extensions. Then, clients may reject communications with
105 servers that do not support the authorization extensions.
112 Brown & Housley [Page 2]
114 Internet-Draft April 2006
119 The syntax for the authorization messages is defined using the TLS
120 Presentation Language, which is specified in Section 4 of [TLS1.0].
122 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
123 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
124 document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [STDWORDS].
128 Figure 1 illustrates the placement of the authorization extensions
129 and supplemental data messages in the full TLS handshake.

158 Figure 1. Authorization data exchange in full TLS handshake
161 The ClientHello message includes an indication of the client
162 authorization data formats that are supported and an indication of
163 the server authorization data formats that are supported. The
164 ServerHello message contains similar indications, but any
168 Brown & Housley [Page 3]
170 Internet-Draft April 2006
173 authorization data formats that are not supported by the server are
174 not included. Both the client and the server MUST indicate support
175 for the authorization data types. If the list of mutually supported
176 authorization data formats is empty, then the ServerHello message
177 MUST NOT carry the affected extension at all.
179 2. Authorization Extension Types
181 The general extension mechanisms enable clients and servers to
182 negotiate whether to use specific extensions, and how to use specific
183 extensions. As specified in [TLSEXT], the extension format used in
184 the extended client hello message and extended server hello message
185 is repeated here for convenience:
188 ExtensionType extension_type;
189 opaque extension_data<0..2^16-1>;
192 The extension_type identifies a particular extension type, and the
193 extension_data contains information specific to the particular
196 As specified in [TLSEXT], for all extension types, the extension type
197 MUST NOT appear in the extended server hello message unless the same
198 extension type appeared in the corresponding client hello message.
199 Clients MUST abort the handshake if they receive an extension type in
200 the extended server hello message that they did not request in the
201 associated extended client hello message.
203 When multiple extensions of different types are present in the
204 extended client hello message or the extended server hello message,
205 the extensions can appear in any order, but there MUST NOT be more
206 than one extension of the same type.
208 This document specifies the use of two new extension types:
209 client_authz and server_authz. These extension types are described
210 in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, respectively. This specification
211 adds two new types to ExtensionType:
214 client_authz(TBD), server_authz(TBD), (65535)
217 The authorization extensions are relevant when a session is initiated
218 and any subsequent session resumption. However, a client that
219 requests resumption of a session does not know whether the server
220 will have all of the context necessary to accept this request, and
224 Brown & Housley [Page 4]
226 Internet-Draft April 2006
229 therefore the client SHOULD send an extended client hello message
230 that includes the extension types associated with the authorization
231 extensions. This way, if the resumption request is denied, then the
232 authorization extensions will be negotiated as normal.
234 2.1. The client_authz Extension Type
236 Clients MUST include the client_authz extension type in the extended
237 client hello message to indicate their desire to send authorization
238 data to the server. The extension_data field indicates the format of
239 the authorization data that will be sent in the supplemental data
240 handshake message. The syntax of the client_authz extension_data
241 field is described in Section 2.3.
243 Servers that receive an extended client hello message containing the
244 client_authz extension MUST respond with the same client_authz
245 extension in the extended server hello message if the server is
246 willing to receive authorization data in the indicated format. Any
247 unacceptable formats must be removed from the list provided by the
248 client. The client_authz extension MUST be omitted from the extended
249 server hello message if the server is not willing to receive
250 authorization data in any of the indicated formats.
252 2.2. The server_authz Extension Type
254 Clients MUST include the server_authz extension type in the extended
255 client hello message to indicate their desire to receive
256 authorization data from the server. The extension_data field
257 indicates the format of the authorization data that will be sent in
258 the supplemental data handshake message. The syntax of the
259 server_authz extension_data field as described in Section 2.3.
261 Servers that receive an extended client hello message containing the
262 server_authz extension MUST respond with the same server_authz
263 extension in the extended server hello message if the server is
264 willing to provide authorization data in the requested format. Any
265 unacceptable formats must be removed from the list provided by the
266 client. The server_authz extension MUST be omitted from the extended
267 server hello message if the server is not able to provide
268 authorization data in any of the indicated formats.
280 Brown & Housley [Page 5]
282 Internet-Draft April 2006
285 2.3. AuthzDataFormat Type
287 The AuthzDataFormat type is used in both the client_authz and the
288 server_authz extensions. It indicates the format of the
289 authorization data that will be transferred. The
290 AuthorizationDataFormats type definition is:
293 x509_attr_cert(0), saml_assertion(1), x509_attr_cert_url(2),
294 saml_assertion_url(3), (255)
297 AuthorizationDataFormats authz_format_list<1..2^8-1>;
299 When the x509_attr_cert value is present, the authorization data is
300 an X.509 Attribute Certificate (AC) that conforms to the profile in
303 When the saml_assertion value is present, the authorization data is
304 an assertion composed using the Security Assertion Markup Language
305 (SAML) [SAML1.1][SAML2.0].
307 When the x509_attr_cert_url value is present, the authorization data
308 is an X.509 AC that conforms to the profile in RFC 3281 [ATTRCERT];
309 however, the AC is fetched with the supplied URL. A one-way hash
310 value is provided to ensure that the intended AC is obtained.
312 When the saml_assertion_url value is present, the authorization data
313 is a SAML Assertion; however, the SAML Assertion is fetched with the
314 supplied URL. A one-way hash value is provided to ensure that the
315 intended SAML Assertion is obtained.
317 3. Supplemental Data Handshake Message Usage
319 As shown in Figure 1, supplemental data can be exchanges in two
320 places in the handshake protocol. The client_authz extension
321 determines what authorization data formats are acceptable for
322 transfer from the client to the server, and the server_authz
323 extension determines what authorization data formats are acceptable
324 for transfer from the server to the client. In both cases, the
325 syntax specified in [TLSSUPP] is used along with the authz_data type
326 defined in this document.
336 Brown & Housley [Page 6]
338 Internet-Draft April 2006
342 authz_data(TBD), (65535)
343 } SupplementalDataType;
346 SupplementalDataType supplemental_data_type;
347 select(SupplementalDataType) {
348 case authz_data: AuthorizationData;
352 3.1. Client Authorization Data
354 The SupplementalData message sent from the client to the server
355 contains authorization data associated with the TLS client.
356 Following the principle of least privilege, the client ought to send
357 the minimal set of authorization information necessary to accomplish
358 the task at hand. That is, only those authorizations that are
359 expected to be required by the server in order to gain access to the
360 needed server resources ought to be included. The format of the
361 authorization data depends on the format negotiated in the
362 client_authz hello message extension. The AuthorizationData
363 structure is described in Section 3.3.
365 In some systems, clients present authorization information to the
366 server, and then the server provides new authorization information.
367 This type of transaction is not supported by SupplementalData
368 messages. In cases where the client intends to request the TLS
369 server to perform authorization translation or expansion services,
370 such translation services ought to occur within the ApplicationData
371 messages, not within the TLS Handshake protocol.
373 3.2. Server Authorization Data
375 The SupplementalData message sent from the server to the client
376 contains authorization data associated with the TLS server. This
377 authorization information is expected to include statements about the
378 server's qualifications, reputation, accreditation, and so on.
379 Wherever possible, authorizations that can be misappropriated for
380 fraudulent use ought to be avoided. The format of the authorization
381 data depends on the format negotiated in the server_authz hello
382 message extensions. The AuthorizationData structure is described in
392 Brown & Housley [Page 7]
394 Internet-Draft April 2006
397 3.3. AuthorizationData Type
399 The AuthorizationData structure carried authorization information for
400 either the client or the server. The AuthzDataFormat specified in
401 Section 2.3 for use in the hello extensions is also used in this
404 All of the entries in the authz_data_list MUST employ authorization
405 data formats that were negotiated in the relevant hello message
409 AuthorizationDataEntry authz_data_list<1..2^16-1>;
413 AuthzDataFormat authz_format;
414 select (AuthzDataFormat) {
415 case x509_attr_cert: X509AttrCert;
416 case saml_assertion: SAMLAssertion;
417 case x509_attr_cert_url: URLandHash;
418 case saml_assertion_url: URLandHash;
420 } AuthorizationDataEntry;
423 x509_attr_cert(0), saml_assertion(1), x509_attr_cert_url(2),
424 saml_assertion_url(3), (255)
427 opaque X509AttrCert<1..2^16-1>;
428 opaque SAMLAssertion<1..2^16-1>;
431 opaque url<1..2^16-1>;
435 case sha256: SHA256Hash;
440 sha1(0), sha256(1), (255)
444 opaque SHA256Hash[32];
448 Brown & Housley [Page 8]
450 Internet-Draft April 2006
453 3.3.1. X.509 Attribute Certificate
455 When X509AttrCert is used, the field contains an ASN.1 DER-encoded
456 X.509 Attribute Certificate (AC) that follows the profile in RFC 3281
457 [ATTRCERT]. An AC is a structure similar to a public key certificate
458 (PKC) [PKIX1]; the main difference being that the AC contains no
459 public key. An AC may contain attributes that specify group
460 membership, role, security clearance, or other authorization
461 information associated with the AC holder.
463 When making an authorization decision based on an AC, proper linkage
464 between the AC holder and the public key certificate that is
465 transferred in the TLS Certificate message is needed. The AC holder
466 field provides this linkage. The holder field is a SEQUENCE allowing
467 three different (optional) syntaxes: baseCertificateID, entityName
468 and objectDigestInfo. In the TLS authorization context, the holder
469 field MUST use the either baseCertificateID or entityName. In the
470 baseCertificateID case, the baseCertificateID field MUST match the
471 issuer and serialNumber fields in the certificate. In the entityName
472 case, the entityName MUST be the same as the subject field in the
473 certificate or one of the subjectAltName extension values in the
474 certificate. Note that [PKIX1] mandates that the subjectAltName
475 extension be present if the subject field contains an empty
478 3.3.2. SAML Assertion
480 When SAMLAssertion is used, the field contains XML constructs with a
481 nested structure defined in [SAML1.1][SAML2.0]. SAML is an XML-based
482 framework for exchanging security information. This security
483 information is expressed in the form of assertions about subjects,
484 where a subject is either human or computer with an identity. In
485 this context, the SAML assertions are most likely to convey
486 authentication or attribute statements to be used as input to
487 authorization policy governing whether subjects are allowed to access
488 certain resources. Assertions are issued by SAML authorities.
490 When making an authorization decision based on a SAML assertion,
491 proper linkage between the SAML assertion and the public key
492 certificate that is transferred in the TLS Certificate message may be
493 needed. A "Holder of Key" subject confirmation method in the SAML
494 assertion can provide this linkage. In other scenarios, it may be
495 acceptable to use alternate confirmation methods that do not provide
496 a strong binding, such as a bearer mechanism. SAML assertion
497 recipients MUST decide which subject confirmation methods are
498 acceptable; such decisions MAY be specific to the SAML assertion
499 contents and the TLS session context.
504 Brown & Housley [Page 9]
506 Internet-Draft April 2006
509 There is no general requirement that the subject of the SAML
510 assertion correspond directly to the subject of the certificate.
511 They may represent the same or different entities. When they are
512 different, SAML also provides a mechanism by which the certificate
513 subject can be identified separately from the subject in the SAML
514 assertion subject confirmation method.
516 Since the SAML assertion is being provided at a part of the TLS
517 Handshake that is unencrypted, an eavesdropper could replay the same
518 SAML assertion when they establish their own TLS session. This is
519 especially important when a bearer mechanism is employed, the
520 recipient of the SAML assertion assumes that the sender is an
521 acceptable attesting entity for the SAML assertion. Some constraints
522 may be included to limit the context where the bearer mechanism will
523 be accepted. For example, the period of time that the SAML assertion
524 can be short-lived (often minutes), the source address can be
525 constrained, or the destination endpoint can be identified. Also,
526 bearer assertions are often checked against a cache of SAML assertion
527 unique identifiers that were recently received in order to detect
528 replay. This is an appropriate countermeasure if the bearer
529 assertion is intended to be used just once. Section 5 provides a way
530 to protect authorization information when necessary.
534 Since the X.509 AC and SAML assertion can be large, alternatives
535 provide a URL to obtain the ASN.1 DER-encoded X.509 AC or SAML
536 Assertion. To ensure that the intended object is obtained, a one-way
537 hash value of the object is also included. Integrity of this one-way
538 hash value is provided by the TLS Finished message.
540 Implementations that support either x509_attr_cert_url or
541 saml_assertion_url MUST support URLs that employ the http scheme.
542 Other schemes may also be supported; however, to avoid circular
543 dependencies, supported schemes SHOULD NOT themselves make use of
544 TLS, such as the https scheme.
546 Implementations that support either x509_attr_cert_url or
547 saml_assertion_url MUST support both SHA-1 [SHA1] and SHA-256 [SHA2]
548 as one-way hash functions. Other one-way hash functions may also be
549 supported. Additional one-way hash functions can be registered in
550 the future using the procedures in section 3.
552 4. IANA Considerations
554 This document defines a two TLS extensions: client_authz(TBD) and
555 server_authz(TBD). These extension type values are assigned from the
556 TLS Extension Type registry defined in [TLSEXT].
560 Brown & Housley [Page 10]
562 Internet-Draft April 2006
565 This document defines one TLS supplemental data type:
566 authz_data(TBD). This supplemental data type is assigned from the
567 TLS Supplemental Data Type registry defined in [TLSSUPP].
569 This document establishes a new registry, to be maintained by IANA,
570 for TLS Authorization Data Formats. The first four entries in the
571 registry are x509_attr_cert(0), saml_assertion(1),
572 x509_attr_cert_url(2), and saml_assertion_url(3). TLS Authorization
573 Data Format identifiers with values in the inclusive range 0-63
574 (decimal) are assigned via RFC 2434 [IANA] Standards Action. Values
575 from the inclusive range 64-223 (decimal) are assigned via RFC 2434
576 Specification Required. Values from the inclusive range 224-255
577 (decimal) are reserved for RFC 2434 Private Use.
579 This document establishes a new registry, to be maintained by IANA,
580 for TLS Hash Types. The first two entries in the registry are
581 sha1(0) and sha256(1). TLS Hash Type identifiers with values in the
582 inclusive range 0-158 (decimal) are assigned via RFC 2434 [IANA]
583 Standards Action. Values from the inclusive range 159-223 (decimal)
584 are assigned via RFC 2434 Specification Required. Values from the
585 inclusive range 224-255 (decimal) are reserved for RFC 2434 Private
588 5. Security Considerations
590 A TLS server can support more than one application, and each
591 application may include several features, each of which requires
592 separate authorization checks. This is the reason that more than one
593 piece of authorization information can be provided.
595 A TLS server that requires different authorization information for
596 different applications or different application features may find
597 that a client has provided sufficient authorization information to
598 grant access to a subset of these offerings. In this situation the
599 TLS Handshake protocol will complete successfully; however, the
600 server must ensure that the client will only be able to use the
601 appropriate applications and application features. That is, the TLS
602 server must deny access to the applications and application features
603 for which authorization has not been confirmed.
605 In many cases, the authorization information is itself sensitive.
606 The double handshake technique can be used to provide protection for
607 the authorization information. Figure 2 illustrates the double
608 handshake, where the initial handshake does not include any
609 authorization extensions, but it does result in protected
610 communications. Then, a second handshake that includes the
611 authorization information is performed using the protected
612 communications. In Figure 2, the number on the right side indicates
616 Brown & Housley [Page 11]
618 Internet-Draft April 2006
621 the amount of protection for the TLS message on that line. A zero
622 (0) indicates that there is no communication protection; a one (1)
623 indicates that protection is provided by the first TLS session; and a
624 two (2) indicates that protection is provided by both TLS sessions.
626 The placement of the SupplementalData message in the TLS Handshake
627 results in the server providing its authorization information before
628 the client is authenticated. In many situations, servers will not
629 want to provide authorization information until the client is
630 authenticated. The double handshake illustrated in Figure 2 provides
631 a technique to ensure that the parties are mutually authenticated
632 before either party provides authorization information.
