RFC 6680                GSS-API Naming Extensions            August 20121.  Introduction   As described in [RFC4768], the GSS-API's naming architecture suffers   from certain limitations.  This document attempts to overcome these   limitations.   A number of extensions to the GSS-API [RFC2743] and its C-bindings   [RFC2744] are described herein.  The goal is to make information   modeled as "name attributes" available to applications.  Such   information MAY, for instance, be used by applications to make   authorization decisions.  For example, Kerberos V authorization data   elements, both in their raw forms as well as mapped to more useful   value types, can be made available to GSS-API applications through   these interfaces.   The model is that GSS names have attributes.  The attributes of a   name may be authenticated (e.g., an X509 attribute certificate or   signed Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) attribute assertion)   or may have been set on a GSS name for the purpose of locally   "asserting" the attribute during credential acquisition or security   context exchange.  Name attributes' values are network   representations thereof (e.g., the actual value octets of the   contents of an X.509 certificate extension, for example) and are   intended to be useful for constructing portable access control   facilities.  Applications may often require language- or platform-   specific data types, rather than network representations of name   attributes, so a function is provided to obtain objects of such types   associated with names and name attributes.   Future updates of this specification may involve adding an attribute   namespace for attributes that only have application-specific   semantics.  Note that mechanisms will still need to know how to   transport such attributes.  The IETF may also wish to add functions   by which to inquire whether a mechanism(s) understands a given   attribute name or namespace and to list which attributes or attribute   namespaces a mechanism understands.  Finally, the IETF may want to   consider adding a function by which to determine the name of the   issuer of a name attribute.2.  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 [RFC2119].Williams, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 3]

RFC 6680                GSS-API Naming Extensions            August 20123.  Name Attribute Authenticity   An attribute is "authenticated" if and only if there is a secure   association between the attribute (and its values) and the trusted   source of the peer credential.  Examples of authenticated attributes   are (any part of) the signed portion of an X.509 certificate or   AD-KDCIssued authorization data elements (Section 5.2.6.2 of   [RFC4120]) in Kerberos V Tickets, provided, of course, that the   authenticity of the respective security associations (e.g.,   signatures) has been verified.   Note that the fact that an attribute is authenticated does not imply   anything about the semantics of the attribute nor that the trusted   credential source was authorized to assert the attribute.  Such   interpretations SHOULD be the result of applying local policy to the   attribute.   An unauthenticated attribute is called _asserted_ in what follows.   This is not to be confused with other uses of the words "asserted" or   "assertion" such as "SAML attribute assertion", the attributes of   which may be authenticated in the sense of this document, for   instance, if the SAML attribute assertion was signed by a key trusted   by the peer.4.  Name Attributes/Values as ACL Subjects   To facilitate the development of portable applications that make use   of name attributes to construct and evaluate portable Access Control   Lists (ACLs), the GSS-API makes name attribute values available in   canonical network encodings thereof.5.  Naming Contexts   Several factors influence the context in which a name attribute is   interpreted.  One is the trust context.   As discussed previously, applications apply local policy to determine   whether a particular peer credential issuer is trusted to make a   given statement.  Different GSS-API mechanisms and deployments have   different trust models surrounding attributes they provide about a   name.   For example, Kerberos deployments in the enterprise typically trust a   Key Distribution Center (KDC) to make any statement about principals   in a realm.  This includes attributes such as group membership.Williams, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 6680                GSS-API Naming Extensions            August 2012   In contrast, in a federated SAML environment, the identity provider   typically exists in a different organization than the acceptor.  In   this case, the set of group memberships or entitlements that the IDP   is permitted to make needs to be filtered by the policy of the   acceptor and federation.   So even an attribute containing the same information, such as email   address, would need to be treated differently by the application in   the context of an enterprise deployment from the context of a   federation.   Another aspect related to trust is the role of the credential issuer   in providing the attribute.  Consider Public Key Cryptography for   Initial Authentication in Kerberos (PKINIT) [RFC4556].  In this   protocol, a public key and associated certificate are used to   authenticate to a Kerberos KDC.  Consider how attributes related to a   PKINIT certificate should be made available in GSS-API   authentications based on the Kerberos ticket.  In some deployments,   the certificate may be fully trusted; by including the certificate   information in the ticket, the KDC permits the acceptor to trust the   information in the certificate just as if the KDC itself had made   these statements.  In other deployments, the KDC may have authorized   a hash of the certificate without evaluating the content of the   certificate or generally trusting the issuing certification   authority.  In this case, if the certificate were included in the   issued ticket, the KDC would only be making the statement that the   certificate was used in the authentication.  This statement would be   authenticated but would not imply that the KDC asserted that   particular attributes of the certificate accurately described the   initiator.   Another aspect of context is encoding of the attribute information.   An attribute containing an ASCII [ANSI.X3-4.1986] or UTF-8 [RFC3629]   version of an email address could not be interpreted the same as an   ASN.1 Distinguished Encoding Rules email address in a certificate.   All of these contextual aspects of a name attribute affect whether   two attributes can be treated the same by an application and thus   whether they should be considered the same name attribute.  In the   GSS-API naming extensions, attributes that have different contexts   MUST have different names so they can be distinguished by   applications.  As an unfortunate consequence of this requirement,   multiple attribute names will exist for the same basic information.   That is, there is no single attribute name for the email address of   an initiator.  Other aspects of how mechanisms describe information   about subjects would already make this true.  For example, some   mechanisms use OIDs to name attributes; others use URIs.Williams, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 6680                GSS-API Naming Extensions            August 2012   Local implementations or platforms are likely to have sufficient   policy and information to know when contexts can be treated as the   same.  For example, the GSS-API implementation may know that a   particular certification authority can be trusted in the context of a   PKINIT authentication.  The local implementation may have sufficient   policy to know that a particular credential issuer is trusted to make   a given statement.  In order to take advantage of this local   knowledge within the GSS-API implementation, naming extensions   support the concept of local attributes in addition to standard   attributes.  For example, an implementation might provide a local   attribute for email address.  The implementation would specify the   encoding and representation of this attribute; mechanism-specific   standards attributes would be re-encoded if necessary to meet this   representation.  Only email addresses in contexts that meet the   requirements of local policy would be mapped into this local   attribute.   Such local attributes inherently expose a trade-off between   interoperability and usability.  Using a local attribute in an   application requires knowledge of the local implementation.  However,   using a standardized attribute in an application requires more   knowledge of policy and more validation logic in the application.   Sharing this logic in the local platform provides more consistency   across applications as well as reduces implementation costs.  Both   options are needed.6.  Representation of Attribute Names   Different underlying mechanisms (e.g., SAML or X.509 certificates)   provide different representations for the names of their attributes.   In X.509 certificates, most objects are named by object identifiers   (OIDs).  The type of object (certificate extension, name constraint,   keyPurposeID, etc.) along with the OID is sufficient to identify the   attribute.  By contrast, according to Sections8.2 and2.7.3.1 of   [OASIS.saml-core-2.0-os], the name of an attribute has two parts.   The first is a URI describing the format of the name.  The second   part, whose form depends on the format URI, is the actual name.  In   other cases, an attribute might represent a certificate that plays   some particular role in a GSS-API mechanism; such attributes might   have a simple mechanism-defined name.   Attribute names MUST support multiple components.  If there is more   than one component in an attribute name, the more significant   components define the semantics of the less significant components.Williams, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 6680                GSS-API Naming Extensions            August 2012   Attribute names are represented as OCTET STRING elements in the API   described below.  These attribute names have syntax and semantics   that are understood by the application and by the lower-layer   implementations (some of which are described below).   If an attribute name contains a space (ASCII 0x20), the first space   separates the most significant or primary component of the name from   the remainder.  We may refer to the primary component of the   attribute name as the attribute name's "prefix".  If there is no   space, the primary component is the entire name; otherwise, it   defines the interpretation of the remainder of the names.   If the primary component contains a ":" (ASCII 0x3a), then the   primary component is a URI.  Otherwise, the attribute is a local   attribute and the primary component has meaning to the implementation   of GSS-API or to the specific configuration of the application.   Local attribute names with an "at" sign ("@") in them are reserved   for future allocation by the IETF.   Since attribute names are split at the first space into prefix and   suffix, there is a potential for ambiguity if a mechanism blindly   passes through a name attribute whose name it does not understand.   In order to prevent such ambiguities, the mechanism MUST always   prefix raw name attributes with a prefix that reflects the context of   the attribute.   Local attribute names under the control of an administrator or a   sufficiently trusted part of the platform need not have a prefix to   describe context.7.  API7.1.  SET OF OCTET STRING   The construct "SET OF OCTET STRING" occurs once inRFC 2743   [RFC2743], where it is used to represent a set of status strings in   the GSS_Display_status call.  The Global Grid Forum has defined SET   OF OCTET STRING as a buffer set type in GFD.024 [GFD.024], which also   provides one API for memory management of these structures.  The   normative reference to GFD.024 [GFD.024] is for the buffer set   functions defined inSection 2.5 and the associated buffer set C   types defined inSection 6 (namely gss_buffer_set_desc,   gss_buffer_set_t, gss_create_empty_buffer_set,   gss_add_buffer_set_member, gss_release_buffer_set).  Nothing else   from GFD.024 is required to implement this document.  In particular,   that document specifies changes to the behavior of existing GSS-APIWilliams, et al.

Any implementation of SET OF OCTET   STRING for use by this specification MUST preserve order.7.2.  Const Types   The C-bindings for the new APIs use some types from [RFC5587] to   avoid issues with the use of "const".  The normative reference to   [RFC5587] is for the C types specified in Figure 1 ofSection 3.4.6.   Nothing else from that document is required to implement this   document.7.3.  GSS_Display_name_ext()   Inputs:   o  name INTERNAL NAME   o  display_as_name_type OBJECT IDENTIFIER   Outputs:   o  major_status INTEGER   o  minor_status INTEGER   o  display_name OCTET STRING -- caller must release with      GSS_Release_buffer()   Return major_status codes:   o  GSS_S_COMPLETE indicates no error.   o  GSS_S_UNAVAILABLE indicates that the given name could not be      displayed using the syntax of the given name type.   o  GSS_S_FAILURE indicates a general error.   This function displays a given name using the given name syntax, if   possible.  This operation may require mapping Mechanism Names (MNs)   to generic name syntaxes or generic name syntaxes to mechanism-   specific name syntaxes.  Such mappings may not always be feasible and   MAY be inexact or lossy; therefore, this function may fail.Williams, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 6680                GSS-API Naming Extensions            August 2012   o  GSS_S_UNAVAILABLE indicates that the given attribute OID is not      known or set.   o  GSS_S_FAILURE indicates a general error.   This function outputs the value(s) associated with a given GSS name   object for a given name attribute.   The complete flag denotes that (if TRUE) the set of values represents   a complete set of values for this name.  The peer being an   authoritative source of information for this attribute is a   sufficient condition for the complete flag to be set by the peer.   In the federated case, when several peers may hold some of the   attributes about a name, this flag may be highly dangerous and SHOULD   NOT be used.   NOTE: This function relies on the GSS-API notion of "SET OF" allowing   for order preservation; this has been discussed on the KITTEN WG   mailing list, and the consensus seems to be that, indeed, that was   always the intention.  It should be noted, however, that the order   presented does not always reflect an underlying order of the   mechanism-specific source of the attribute values.7.5.1.  C-Bindings   The C-bindings of GSS_Get_name_attribute() require one function call   per attribute value for multi-valued name attributes.  This is done   by using a single gss_buffer_t for each value and an input/output   integer parameter to distinguish initial and subsequent calls and to   indicate when all values have been obtained.   The "more" input/output parameter should point to an integer variable   whose value, on first call to gss_get_name_attribute(), MUST be -1   and whose value upon function call return will be non-zero to   indicate that additional values remain or zero to indicate that no   values remain.  The caller should not modify this parameter after the   initial call.  The status of the complete and authenticated flags   MUST NOT change between multiple calls to iterate over values for an   attribute.   The output buffers "value" and "display_value" are de-allocated by   the caller using gss_release_buffer().Williams, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 11]

When the given NAME object is an MN, this function MUST fail (with   GSS_S_FAILURE) if the mechanism for which the name is an MN does not   recognize the attribute name or the namespace it belongs to.  This is   because name attributes generally have some semantics that mechanisms   must understand.   On the other hand, when the given name is not an MN, this function   MAY succeed even if none of the available mechanisms understand the   given attribute, in which subsequent credential acquisition attemptsWilliams, et al.

RFC 6680                GSS-API Naming Extensions            August 2012   (via GSS_Acquire_cred() or GSS_Add_cred()) with the resulting name   MUST fail for mechanisms that do not understand any one or more name   attributes set with this function.  Applications may wish to use a   non-MN, then acquire a credential with that name as the desired name.   The acquired credentials will have elements only for the mechanisms   that can carry the name attributes set on the name.   Note that this means that all name attributes are locally critical:   the mechanism(s) must understand them.  The reason for this is that   name attributes must necessarily have some meaning that the mechanism   must understand, even in the case of application-specific attributes   (in which case the mechanism must know to transport the attribute to   any peer).  However, there is no provision to ensure that peers   understand any given name attribute.  Individual name attributes may   be critical with respect to peers, and the specification of the   attribute will have to indicate whether the mechanism's protocol or   the application is expected to enforce criticality.   The complete flag denotes that (if TRUE) the set of values represents   a complete set of values for this name.  The peer being an   authoritative source of information for this attribute is a   sufficient condition for the complete flag to be set by the peer.   In the federated case, when several peers may hold some of the   attributes about a name, this flag may be highly dangerous and SHOULD   NOT be used.   NOTE: This function relies on the GSS-API notion of "SET OF" allowing   for order preservation; this has been discussed on the KITTEN WG   mailing list, and the consensus seems to be that, indeed, that was   always the intention.  It should be noted that underlying mechanisms   may not respect the given order.7.6.1.  C-Bindings   The C-bindings of GSS_Set_name_attribute() requires one function call   per attribute value for multi-valued name attributes.  Each call adds   one value.  To replace an attribute's every value, delete the   attribute's values first with GSS_Delete_name_attribute().

RFC 6680                GSS-API Naming Extensions            August 2012   o  exp_composite_name OCTET STRING -- the caller is responsible for      de-allocating memory using GSS_Release_buffer   Return major_status codes:   o  GSS_S_COMPLETE indicates no error.   o  GSS_S_FAILURE indicates a general error.   This function outputs a token that can be imported with   GSS_Import_name(), using GSS_C_NT_COMPOSITE_EXPORT as the name type   and that preserves any name attribute information (including the   authenticated/complete flags) associated with the input name (which   GSS_Export_name() may well not).  The token format is not specified   here as this facility is intended for inter-process communication   only; however, all such tokens MUST start with a two-octet token ID,   hex 04 02, in network byte order.   The OID for GSS_C_NT_COMPOSITE_EXPORT is 1.3.6.1.5.6.6.7.8.1.  C-Bindings   The "exp_composite_name" buffer is de-allocated by the caller with   gss_release_buffer.

IANA Considerations   IANA has registered a new name-type OID in "SMI Security for Name   System Designators Codes (nametypes)":      6  gss-composite-export [RFC6680]   (The absolute OID is 1.3.6.1.5.6.6.)   This document creates a namespace of GSS-API name attributes.   Attributes are named by URIs, so no single authority is technically   needed for allocation.  However, future deployment experience may   indicate the need for an IANA registry for URIs used to reference   names specified by IETF standards.  It is expected that this will be   a registry of URNs, but this document provides no further guidance on   this registry.Williams, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 15]

RFC 6680                GSS-API Naming Extensions            August 20129.  Security Considerations   This document extends the GSS-API naming model to include support for   name attributes.  The intention is that name attributes are to be   used as a basis for (among other things) authorization decisions or   personalization for applications relying on GSS-API security   contexts.   The security of the application may be critically dependent on the   security of the attributes.  This document classifies attributes as   asserted or authenticated.  Asserted (non-authenticated) attributes   MUST NOT be used if the attribute has security implications for the   application (e.g., authorization decisions) since asserted attributes   may easily be controlled by the peer directly.   It is important to understand the meaning of "authenticated" in this   setting.  Authenticated does not imply that any semantic of the   attribute is claimed to be true.  The only implication is that a   trusted third party has asserted the attribute as opposed to the   attribute being asserted by the peer itself.  Any additional   semantics are always the result of applying policy.  For instance, in   a given deployment, the mail attribute of the subject may be   authenticated and sourced from an email system where "authoritative"   values are kept.  In another situation, users may be allowed to   modify their mail addresses freely.  In both cases, the "mail"   attribute may be authenticated by virtue of being included in signed   SAML attribute assertions or by other means authenticated by the   underlying mechanism.   When the underlying security mechanism does not provide a permanent   unique identity (e.g., anonymous Kerberos), GSS-API naming extensions   may be used to provide a permanent unique identity attribute.  This   may be a globally unique identifier, a value unique within the   namespace of the attribute issuer, or a "directed" identifier that is   unique per peer acceptor identity.  SAML, to use one example   technology, offers a number of built-in constructs for this purpose,   such as a <NameID> with a Format of   "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent".  SAML   deployments also typically make use of domain-specific attribute   types that can serve as identifiers.Williams, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 16]
