<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|

<p>There are a variety of reasons why a user may wish to change
|
||||
their JID. For example, a surname change because of marriage or simply
|
||||
an easier JID to remember.

</p>
|
||||
an easier JID to remember. Another common reason is that the provider goes
|
||||
out of service (with a notice).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This XEP defines an approach for communicating that your JID has
|
||||
moved to a new JID, extending the existing subscription protocol documented
|
||||
in &xmppim;. The steps outlined here may be done either through a client
|
||||
or automated by a server.

<p>This document aims to satisfy the following requirements:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The methods described here maintain compatibility with &xmppcore; and <cite>RFC 6121</cite>.</li>
|
||||
<li>Users should be able to notify their contacts of a change of address.</li>
|
||||
<li>Contacts should be able to verify that such a notification is legitimate, to prevent malicious actors from spoofing notifications.</li>
|
||||
<li>It should be possible for a contact's server to automatically update the contact's roster for seamless migrations.</li>
|
||||
<li>In the absence of a contact's support for this protocol, it should fall back to a simple manual subscription approval.</li>

<p>Because the original JID is no longer going to be used, the user SHOULD

<p>We start with the situation where the user, let's call them Juliet, has two accounts -

her original account <tt>juliet@im.example.net</tt> and a shiny new account on her personal
|
||||
domain, <tt>juliet@capulet.example</tt>.</p>

disruption.</p>
|
||||
<section2 topic='User publishes moved statement' anchor='publish-statement'>
|
||||
<p>Before notifying contacts of the move, Juliet must connect to her old
|

account and publish a "statement" that the account is no longer in
|
||||
use. This statement includes the address of her new account.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>The statement should be posted to a PEP node with the name 'urn:xmpp:moved:1'. The
|
||||
payload should be a <moved/> element in the 'urn:xmpp:moved:1' namespace. This
|
||||
element should in turn contain a single <new-jid/> element with the user's new JID
|
||||
as its text content.</p>
|
||||
|

<p>To unsubscribe all outbound subscriptions for the original JID send an

XMPP URI (e.g. <tt>xmpp:user@example.com</tt>), then the error response

<p>Upon successful verification, Romeo's client may present an appropriate

user interface, informing about Juliet's change of address, and a prompt

to accept the subscription request from the new address. On the user's

approval of such a subscription request, the client will typically want

to also send a subscription request to the contact's new JID to establish

a mutual subscription.</p>
|

|

<p>Due to the potential for races between multiple clients connected to
|

the same account, it is NOT RECOMMENDED for a client to automatically
|

act upon migration notifications, but instead await manual interaction
|

from the user. As with any inbound subscription request it SHOULD pay

attention to roster pushes related to the contact, and update the UI

appropriately if the new contact address is authorized from another

<p>It is not required for Romeo's server to support this specification.

However if Romeo's server does understand this extension, it SHOULD

This improves the user experience for Romeo, especially when he has

multiple devices.</p>

<p><cite>RFC 6120</cite> clarifies that an incoming subscribe &PRESENCE; stanza

MUST be preserved by the server and &PRESENCE; stanzas of type

unsubscribe and unsubscribed are not preserved on the server.
|
||||
Therefore, for a contact who is offline, their servers MAY have
|
||||
automatically removed the original roster entry when seeing the
|

unsubscribe and unsubscribed stanzas. At the time of writing this XEP,

NOT saving and forwarding the presence stanzas will be the default

behavior of most servers.

<p>What this means is that a contact coming online after the rename
|

outlined above MAY only see the &PRESENCE; of type 'subscribe' with

the &MOVED; element. Clients should be aware of this behavior.

<section2 topic='Preservation of Groups' anchor='grouping'>

<p>One of the side effects of this scheme is the potential for a contact

subscription is received the new JID MAY be placed into the roster

in the same groups as the original JID and the original JID can then be

removed from the roster.

<li>If a subscribe is received with a &MOVED; element, the client MAY

|

|

<p>As discussed in 'Contacts Offline at the Time the Rename Occurs', a

server MAY automatically handle the unsubscribe and unsubscribed stanzas.

If this occurs it will be impossible to preserve the original groups.

<p>Future revisions of this document, or alternative documents, may define

alternative verification methods. Such methods SHOULD be communicated via

<p>It is not intended for servers to strip any &MOVED; elements from
|

&PRESENCE; stanzas sent in from a client. This allows clients as well as
|
||||
servers to implement these same procedures.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In order to prevent other users from maliciously altering contacts
|
||||
the client SHOULD NOT automatically subscribe to a &MOVED; JID when it
|
||||
receives an unsubscribe and SHOULD NOT automatically unsubscribe to
|
||||
a &MOVED; JID when it receives a subscribe.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The following illustrates an example malicious attack.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>userA@example.com subscribes to userB@example.com</li>
|
||||
<li>The userB@example.com automatically accepts the subscription from
|
||||
userA@example.com. (Automatically done by the client using a simple
|
||||
domain trust).</li>
|
||||
<li>userA@example.com unsubscribes with the &MOVED; 'new' JID set to
|
||||
companyCEO@example.com.</li>
|
||||
<li>The previous steps can be repeated and have userB@example.com subscribe
|
||||
to a large number of people.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A similar attack can be done with a new subscribe request causing users
|
||||
by guessing which users are subscribed to a contact.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>hacker@example.com subscribes to userB@example.com guessing that

userA@example.com is on userB's roster.

<section2 topic='User considerations' anchor='security-user'>
|
||||
<p>The following are considerations for the user (exemplified by Juliet in this document):</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>A malicious client or other entity with access to the user's account
|
||||
can perform a migration, potentially against the user's will and/or
|
||||
without their knowledge. Although this is a concern, any malicious
|
||||
actor with access to a user's account can abuse that access in many
|
||||
ways. Servers that support granting restricted access to accounts
|
||||
should consider blocking attempts to publish to the
|
||||
'urn:xmpp:moved:1' PEP node from restricted entities.</li>
|
||||
<li>To avoid leaking the user's new JID to non-contacts, the PEP node
|
||||
containing the moved statement SHOULD be configured to use the
|
||||
"presence" access model (this is the default access model defined
|
||||
by PEP).</li>
|
||||
</ul>

</section2>
|
||||
<section2 topic='Contact considerations' anchor='security-contact'>
|
||||
<p>The following are considerations for the contact (exemplified by Romeo in this document), and the contact's server:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>A presence subscription with a <moved/> is trivial for a
|
||||
malicious third-party to spoof. The verification methods discussed
|
||||
in this document MUST be followed to prevent accepting rogue
|
||||
subscription requests.</li>
|
||||
<li>It is important to verify that the original JID of the migrating
|
||||
user was already authorized to view presence before processing a
|
||||
migration.</li>
|
||||
<li>After successfully processing a migration, the original account
|
||||
should have its presence subscription revoked. This ensures that
|
||||
each JID may only be migrated once. Without this precaution the
|
||||
migration mechanism can be abused to introduce unlimited arbitrary
|
||||
JIDs to contacts' rosters. This precaution also ensures, if the
|
||||
old account ends up owned by a new entity, that they will not
|
||||
unexpectedly inherit a presence subscription.</li>

<section2 topic='Verification methods' anchor='design-verification'>
|
||||
<p>There are two general approaches for verification - network-based
|
||||
verification, or cryptographic verification. Network-based verification
|
||||
(as described in this document) requests a verification statement from
|
||||
the user's old account. Cryptographic verification would check a move
|
||||
notification against a previously-established cryptographic identify of
|
||||
the user.</p>
|
||||
<p>Network-based verification:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Pro: Simple and easy to implement</li>
|
||||
<li>Con: depends on the original server being available and supporting PEP</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>Cryptographic verification:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Pro: Can work even if the original server goes offline or begins blocking
|
||||
migration attempts.</li>
|
||||
<li>Con: More complex implementation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Con: Requires user and contacts to manage/track cryptographic keys and
|
||||
identies. It may be possible to piggyback on top of an existing cryptographic
|
||||
layer, e.g. OMEMO. However this would eliminate the server-side assistance,
|
||||
and OMEMO support is not universal among clients.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Ultimately this document defines a network-based verification method, but
|
||||
leaves an obvious path to extend the protocol with alternative verification
|
||||
methods (either in an update to this document, or defined by other
|
||||
documents).</p>
