<p>This XEP specifies an instant stream resumption mechanism based
|
||
|
on &xep0198;, allowing XMPP entities to instantaneously resume an
|
||
|
XMPP stream. This can be seen as the complementary part to &xep0305;
|
||
|
allowing for fast XMPP session (re-)establishment.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Compared to the existing stream resumption mechanism of <link
|
||
|
url='http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0198.html#resumption'><cite>XEP-0198</cite>
|
||
|
§ 5</link>, the approach defined herein reduces the round trips
|
||
|
required to resume a stream to exactly <em>one</em>. This is
|
||
|
achieved by using just a secure short-lived key to resume the
|
||
|
stream.</p>

|
||
|
<p>XMPP entities providing Instant Stream Resumption MUST announce
|
||
|
that functionality as stream feature, but only if an instant stream
|
||
|
resumption is possible at this stage. The ISR stream future consists
|
||
|
of an <isr/> element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0'
|
||
|
namespace. And since ISR requires TLS, this means that the
|
||
|
<isr/> stream feature only appears on TLS secured
|
||
|
connections.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The ISR stream feature element MUST contain a <mechanisms/>
|
||
|
element as defined in &rfc6120;. This element contains the SASL
|
||
|
mechanism which are available to be used for instant stream
|
||
|
resumption.</p>

<section1 topic='Obtaining a Instant Stream Resumption Key' anchor='obtain'>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>In order to obtain an ISR key, the requesting entity must add a
|
||
|
'mechanism' attribute qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0' namespace to
|
||
|
the <enable/> element as defined in &xep0198; when attempting
|
||
|
to enable Stream Management. The value of the 'mechanism' attribute
|
||
|
is the name of the SASL mechanism the requesting entity will use
|
||
|
when performing ISR with the returned key. The entities involved in
|
||
|
ISR MUST only use or allow this mechanism when performing ISR with
|
||
|
the according key. This effectively pins the SASL
|
||
|
mechanism <note>Pinning the SASL mechanism is believed to
|
||
|
increase the security</note>.</p>

<p>Next, the <enabled/> Nonza (see &xep0360;) which is send as

positive reply upon a request to enable Stream Management, MUST
|

contain an 'key' attribute qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0'

|
namespace containing a ISR key. The key MUST be newly generated by a
|
||
|
cryptographically secure random number generator and MUST contain at
|
||
|
lest 128 bit of entropy. The Nonza can optionally also contain a
|
||
|
'location' attribute qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0' namespace
|
||
|
which specifies the preferred IP address or hostname, and a TCP port
|
||
|
number of the host which should be used for instant stream
|

resumption.</p>

<section1 topic='Instant Stream Resumption' anchor='isr'>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>In order to instantaneously resume an XMPP stream the initiating
|
||
|
entity, which is either an XMPP client or server, must posses a
|
||
|
valid ISR key. After it has obtained the ISR key, using the process
|
||
|
described in the previous section, it first determines the host for
|
||
|
resumption, and after that, tries to perform the instant stream
|
||
|
resumption.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<section2 topic='Determing the Host for Resumption' anchor='host'>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The lookup mechanism order to determine host candidates for ISR
|
||
|
resumption is as follows:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<ol>
|
||
|
<li>The host provided in the optional 'location' attribute
|
||
|
qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0' namespace found in the
|
||
|
<enabled/> element of <cite>XEP-0198</cite> (the
|
||
|
"isr:location").
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>The hosts determined by means of &xep0368;.</li>
|
||
|
<li>The host announced in the 'location' attribute of the
|
||
|
<enabled/> Nonza defined in <cite>XEP-0198</cite>.</li>
|
||
|
<li>Standard host lookup mechanisms.</li>
|
||
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The host candidates retrieved by those mechanisms SHOULD be
|
||
|
tried by the initiating entity in this order.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Note that the hosts announced by the 'location' attribute
|
||
|
qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0' namespace MUST be connected to
|
||
|
using TLS from the beginning, i.e. <starttls/> MUST NOT be
|
||
|
used, instead the TLS handshake is performed right after
|
||
|
establishing the connection.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>This order prefers hosts which allow connections where TLS is
|
||
|
enabled from the beginning. This is desirable to reduce the
|
||
|
required round trips by skipping the <starttls/> step.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
</section2>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<section2 topic='Performing Instant Stream Resumption' anchor='resume'>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>After the remote host on which the instant stream resumption
|
||
|
should be performed was determined, the initiating entity connects
|
||
|
to the host, and establishes TLS by either</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<ol>
|
||
|
<li>establishing a TLS session right away, or</li>
|
||
|
<li>performing STARTTLS (&rfc6120; § 5).</li>
|
||
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Now the initiating entity sends an XMPP <stream> open
|
||
|
element followed by a <authenticate/> Nonza as specified in
|
||
|
the &xep0388;. The initiating entity must also provide a
|
||
|
<inst-resume/> element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0'
|
||
|
namespace, which must contain a <resume/> element as defined
|
||
|
in &xep0198;.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>If the 'without-isr-token' attribute is set to true, then the
|
||
|
SASL mechanisms are performed as when traditionally authenticating
|
||
|
the XMPP session. If the value of the attribute is 'false', which is
|
||
|
the default value for this attribute, then the "password" given to
|
||
|
the SASL mechanism is the ISR key. Note that this implies that only
|
||
|
SASL mechanisms which take a password/token can be used this
|
||
|
way.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>All ISR implementations MUST support the
|
||
|
X-HT-SHA-256-ENDP mechanism.</p>

so since it already knows that the service supports ISR because it

announced an ISR key.</p>

<p>Servers MUST destroy the ISR key of a stream after an instant

specified in the &xep0388;, which must include a

<inst-resumed/> element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:isr:0'

features like &xep0138;. It does however not include the specific

state of the features: For example in case of Stream Compression,

the dictionary used by the compression mechanism of the resumed

stream MUST NOT be considered to be restored after instant stream

<p>This section specifies the Hashed Token (X-HT-*) SASL
|

|
mechanism. This mechanism was designed to be used with short-lived
|
||
|
tokens (shared secrets) for authentication. It provides hash
|
||
|
agility, mutual authentication and is secured by channel
|
||
|
binding. Since the token is not salted, and only one iteration is
|
||
|
used, the X-HT mechanism is not suitable to protect long-lived
|

|
shared secrets (e.g. "passwords"). You may want to look at &rfc5802;

<section2 topic='The X-HT-* Family of Mechanisms' anchor='ht-sasl-mechanism-family'>

<p>Each mechanism in this family differs by the choice of the hash

mechanism has a name of the form X-HT-[HA]-[CBT] where [HA] is the

"Hash Name String" of the &iana-hash-alg; registry in capital
|

letters, and [CBT] is one of 'ENDP' or 'UNIQ'. In case of 'ENDP',

the tls-server-end-point channel binding type is used. In case of

'UNIQ', the tls-unique channel binding type is used. For more

<p>The mechanism consists of a simple exchange of exactly two
|
||
|
messages between the initiator and responder. It starts with the
|
||
|
message from the initiator to the responder. This
|
||
|
'initiator-message' is defined as follows:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p class='box'>
|
||
|
initiator-message = HMAC(token, "Initiator" || cb-data)
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>HMAC() is the function defined in &rfc2104; with H being the
|
||
|
chosen hash algorithm, 'cb-data' represents channel binding type
|
||
|
data, and 'token' are the UTF-8 (see &rfc3629;) encoded bytes of
|
||
|
the token String which acts as shared secret between initiator and
|
||
|
responder. The initiator-message MUST NOT be included in TLS 1.3
|
||
|
0-RTT early data (&tls13;).</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>This message is followed by a message from the responder to the
|
||
|
initiator. This 'responder-message' is defined as follows:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p class='box'>
|
||
|
responder-message = HMAC(token, "Responder" || cb-data)
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||

<p>The initiating entity MUST verify the responder-message to
|
||
|
achieve mutual authentication.</p>

additional data, for example Stanzas, after the ISR/XEP-0388 data at
