<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>A security label, sometimes referred to as a confidentiality label, is
a structured representation of the sensitivity of a piece of information. They are
used in conjunction with a clearance, a structured representation of what information
sensitivities a person (or other entity) is authorized to access, and a security
policy to control access to each piece of information. For instance, message could be
labeled as "SECRET", and hence requiring the sender and the receiver to have a
clearance granting access to "SECRET" information. &X.841; provides a discussion of
security labels, clearances, and security policy.</p>
<p>Sensitivity-based authorization is used in networks which operate under a set of
information classification rules, such as in government defense agency networks. The
standardized formats for security labels, clearances, and security policy are
generalized and do have application in non-government networks.</p>
<p>This document describes the use of security labels in &xmpp;. The document specifies
how security label metadata is carried in XMPP. It standardizes a mechanism for
carrying ESS Security Labels in XMPP, as well as provides for use of other label
formats. ESS Security Labels are specified in &rfc2634;. ESS Security Labels are
commonly used in conjunction with &X.500; clearances and either X.841 or &SDN.801c;
security policies.</p>

<section1 topic='Discovering Feature Support' anchor='disco'>
<p>If an entity supports the XMPP Security Label protocol, it MUST report that fact
by including a service discovery feature of "<tt>urn:xmpp:sec-label:0</tt>" in
response to a &xep0030; information request. Clients wishing to include a XMPP
Security Label element in any stanza they generate SHOULD determine if their
server supports the XMPP Security Label protocol. If their server does not
support XMPP Security Label, the client SHOULD NOT generate XMPP Security Labels
as the server not supporting this protocol will generally ignore XMPP Security
Labels as they would any other unrecognized element.</p>
<p>As each service domain may have different support for security labels, servers
should advertise and clients should perform appropriate discovery lookups on a
per service basis.</p>

<p>An element, &SECURITYLABEL;, is defined to carry security label metadata. This metadata
includes a security label, zero or more equivalent security labels, and optionally display
marking data.</p>
<example caption="Labeled Message"><![CDATA[

<p>The security label metadata is carried in an &SECURITYLABEL; element.
The &SECURITYLABEL; element which contains one and only one &LABEL; element,
zero or more &EQUIVALENTLABEL; elements, and an optional &DISPLAYMARKING; element.</p>
<p>The &LABEL; contains the primary security label. It is commonly issued by the
sender under the security policy of that they and their home server operating under.
Each &EQUIVALENTLABEL; holds equivalent security labels under other policies.
This element might be used when a recepient is known to hold a clearance under a
different policy than the sender.</p>
<p>The &LABEL; and &EQUIVALENTLABEL; elements each require a <tt>type=</tt> attribute.
The <tt>type=</tt> attribute indicates the type and encoding of the element's value.
The attribute <tt>type=</tt> value '<tt>ESS</tt>' indicates the label is the
base64, as specified in &rfc4648;, encoding of the &BER; encoding of the &ASN.1;
<tt>eSSSecurityLabel</tt> type as specified in &rfc2634;.
Additional types may be registered (see 'XMPP Registrar Considerations').</p>
<p>The &DISPLAYMARKING; element contains a display string for use by
implementations which are unable to utilize the applicable security policy
to generate display markings. The element may optionally contain two
attributes, <tt>fgcolor=</tt> and <tt>bgcolor=</tt>, whose values are HTML
color strings (e.g., '<tt>red</tt>' or '<tt>#ff0000</tt>'), for use in
colorizing the display marking. The <tt>fgcolor=</tt> default is <tt>black</tt>.
The <tt>bgcolor=</tt> default is <tt>white</tt>.
</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Label Catalog Discovery' anchor='label-catalog'>
<p>It is RECOMMENDED the server publish a catalogs of security label
for use by clients.</p>
<p>Each catalog provided should only contain labels for which the client
is allowed to use (based upon the user's authorization) in a particular
context (such as in chatroom). A catalog may not be include the
complete set of labels available for the use by the client in the
context.</p>
<blockquote>Note: the single catalog per context approach used here
is likely inadequate in enviroments where there are a large number
of labels in use. It is expected that a more sophisticated approach
will be introduced in a subsequent revision of this
specification.</blockquote>
<p>As each service domain may have different support for security labels,
servers should advertise and clients should perform appropriate
discovery lookups on a per service basis.</p>
<p>To indicate the support for label catalog discovery, a server
advertises the <tt>urn:xmpp:sec-label:catalog:0</tt> feature.
The following pair of examples illustrates this feature discovery.</p>

<section1 topic='Use in XMPP' anchor='xmpp-use'>
<p>The sensitivity-based access control decisions discussed herein are to be
made independently of other access control decisions or other facilities.
That is, the sensitivity-based access control decisions are not conditional
on other factors.</p>
<p>It is intended that &SECURITYLABEL; elements are only used as prescribed by
this document, or other formal specifications. Any other use of
&SECURITYLABEL; SHOULD be viewed as a protocol violation. The stanza SHOULD
be discarded with, if approrpriate, an error response. Such error responses
SHOULD NOT include content from the violating stanza, excepting that
necessary to well-formed error responses.</p>
<p>When use of a &SECURITYLABEL; element is prescribed, that use is RECOMMENDED.
Absence of a &SECURITYLABEL; element implies the stanza has the default label
as specified in the governing security policy. Given that the governing
policy may not specify a default label, hence denying access to the stanza,
supporting clients SHOULD provide a &SECURITYLABEL; element where prescribed.</p>
<p>Typically, a client would allow the user to choose populate the
&SECURITYLABEL; from one of from a small set of security labels selections
known to it (through configuration and/or discovery and/or other means),
such as from a pull-down menu. That selection would include appropriate
values for the &LABEL;, &DISPLAYMARKING;, and &EQUIVALENTLABEL; elements.</p>
<p>A policy-aware client may provide the user with an interface allowing the
user to produce custom labeling data for inclusion in this set. A
policy-aware client SHOULD preclude the user from producing &LABEL; values
which the user's own clearance does not grant access to, and SHOULD preclude
sending any label which the user's own clearance does not grant access to.
Each &EQUIVALENTLABEL; value, if any, MUST be equivalent under an equivalent
policy to the &LABEL;. The &DISPLAYMARKING; element SHOULD be set the
display marking prescribed for the &LABEL; under the governing policy, or,
if the governing policy prescribes no display marking for the &LABEL;,
absent.</p>
<p>A client which receives a stanza with &SECURITYLABEL; element is to promiently
display the &DISPLAYMARKING; value. A policy-aware may alternatively
promiently display the marking for the &LABEL; prescribed by the governing
policy.</p>
<p>Each server is expected to make a number of sensitivity-based authorization
decisions. Each decision is made by evaluating an Access Control Decision
Function (ACDF) with a governing policy, a clearance, and a security label.
The ACDF yields either <em>Grant</em> or <em>Deny</em>.</p>
<p>If the user holds a valid clearance (known to the server) under the
governing policy, the clearance input is the user's clearance. Otherwise,
if the governing policy provides a default clearance, the clearance input
is the default clearance. Otherwise, the clearance input is the nil clearance.
The nil clearance is a clearance for which the ACDF always returns Deny when
given as the clearance input.</p>
<p>If the stanza contains a &SECURITYLABEL; element and the either the &LABEL;
element or one of the &EQUIVALENTLABEL; elements contain an appropriate label,
that label input is that label. Otherwise, the label input is the default
label provided the governing policy or, if no default label is provided,
the nil label. The nil label is a label for which the ACDF always returns
Deny when given as the label input.</p>
<p>The term "effective clearance" and "effective label" refer, respectively,
to the clearance and label provided as input to the ACDF.</p>
<p>Not all sensitivity-based authorization decisions an XMPP server might make
involve a user clearance and/or stanza label. A server may only provide
service to users which hold an appropriate clearance as determined by calling
the ACDF with the user's clearance and a label associated with the service.
A clearance might also be associated with the service to restrict the set
of labels may be used in labeling stanzas. Labels and clearances can also
be associated with network interfaces, remote servers, chatrooms, pubsub
notes.</p>

</section3>
<section3 topic='Changing Subject' anchor='muc-subject'>
<p>This section discusses semantics of &SECURITYLABEL; elements contained
in &MESSAGE; stanzas containing a &SUBJECT; element.</p>
<p>The presence of a &SECURITYLABEL; element indicates a request to change
the room's label, either to the provided label or, if the element is empty,
to unset the room's label. The server is to refuse the request if the
requestor is not authorized to change the subject, not cleared for the
requested label, or if the server is otherwise unwilling or unable to make
the change. If the label change is refused, so must the accompanied
subject change. Likewise, if the subject change is refused, so must the
accompanied label change.</p>
<p>Upon change of the room's label, the server MUST immediately remove from
the room all members whom are not cleared for that label.</p>
<p>In absence of a &SECURITYLABEL; element, the label associated with the
room is unchanged.</p>
<p>The room's label can also be changed through room configuration (to be
discussed in later revision of this document).</p>

<!--
<section3 topic='Room Configuration' anchor='muc-config'>
<p>The server may allow for configuration of security label parameters

<p>In the above example, the server allows the room label to be set to one of
to a subset of labels from the label catalog (see below), using the display
name for selection, as well as custom label support. For custom label choice
support, the server offers an appropriate choice (the label= string should
be selected to avoid confusion with display markings used in label=
attributes). as well as a field for providing the custom label. Likewise
for the room clearance. The server also allows configuration of a default
label for use in handling of unlabeled messages.</p>
<p>Though offering choices from the label catalog is often desirable,
a server may only offer custom label and/or clearance support.</p>
