<p>
|
||||
Sometimes there might be a need for an application to sign a data form (&xep0004;) using other credentials than provided by the XMPP account or connection. An example can
|
||||
be automatic account creation using &xep0077;. Many server operators disable the in-band registration feature since it makes it possible for malicious
|
||||
users or robots to freely create accounts on the server. One way to combat robots, has been through the use of &xep0158;. But in some cases, like in the Internet of Things,
|
||||
it is not robots that are the problem, but malicious users.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This document describes a method whereby forms can be signed using other credentials. This can be used in an In-band registration form to sign the form with the credentials
|
||||
of a special account on the server with permissions to create new XMPP accounts, with perhaps a limit on number of accounts that can be created. This method can be used by
|
||||
manufacturers of devices for Internet of Things, so that devices can create accounts automatically on XMPP servers in an orderly fashion, and manufacturers are allowed to
|
||||
administer and control their automatically created accounts separately. It also provides a mechanism whereby server operators can monitor who is responsible for account creation
|
||||
and to what extent.

A fixed algorithm has been chosen in favor of SASL, to avoid multiple callbacks during form signature.
|
||||
The idea is to make form signature possible without having to do any intermediate server callbacks, or having to change the original request returning the form. Using SASL and
|
||||
recommended SASL authentication methods, such as SCRAM-SHA-1, at least one extra server callback would be necessary. If including a callback when selecting SASL method after
|
||||
having retrieved the form, at least two extra callbacks would be required in some cases. Even by fixing SASL algorithm, the common algorithms not requiring server callback, such
|
||||
as DIGEST-MD5, are not considered secure enough.

A form that needs to be signed by the client using external credentials, shows this by including a hidden <strong>FORM_TYPE</strong> field valued
|
||||
<strong>urn:xmpp:xdata:signature:oauth1</strong>. The sub-namespace <strong>:oauth1</strong> identifies the algorithm to be used, in this case OAUTH v1.0.

The form contains a set of invisible parameters that the underlying software signing the form and supporting this specification must understand. These are:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<table caption='OAUTH parameters'>
|
||||
<tr>
|

<p>
|

Before calculating the signature, the following functions need to be defined:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<dl>
|
||||
<di>
|
||||
<dt>Base64(x)</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|

Converts the sequence of octets <strong>x</strong> into a Base-64 encoded string.

</p>
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
</di>
|
||||
<di>
|
||||
<dt>Escape(s)</dt>
|
||||
<dd>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The string <strong>s</strong> are escaped using the &rfc3986; percent-encoding (%xx) mechanism. Characters not in the unreserved character set (§ 2.3) MUST be encoded.
|
||||
Characters in the unreserved character set MUST NOT be encoded. Hexadecimal characters in encodings MUST be upper case. Text names and values MUST be encoded as UTF-8
|
||||
octets before percent-encoding them per <span class='ref'>

|
||||
</note>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|

Unreserved characters are alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), hyphen ('-'), period ('.'), underscore ('_') and tilde ('~').

Corresponds to the Hash-function to use, according to the parameter <strong>oauth_signature_method</strong>. It computes the hash value of the octets <strong>x</strong>,
|

and returns a sequence of octets.

</dl>
|

<p>
|

To calculate the signature of the form, follow the steps in the following subsections, in the same order.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<section2 topic='Choose Hash function' anchor='hashfunction'>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You choose Hash function by setting the parameter <strong>oauth_signature_method</strong> to either <strong>HMAC-SHA1</strong>, <strong>RSA-SHA1</strong> or <strong>PLAINTEXT</strong>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</section2>
|
||||
<section2 topic='Sort parameters' anchor='sortparameters'>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, all form parameters to be signed, including hidden parameters and the OAUTH parameters except <strong>oauth_token_secret</strong> and <strong>oauth_signature</strong>,
|
||||
are sorted by variable name (<strong>var</strong>).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</section2>
|
||||
<section2 topic='Calculating Parameter String (PStr)' anchor='pstr'>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Each (name, value) pair in the list of sorted parameters are first transformed into pairs of <strong>Escape(name)=Escape(value)</strong> segments, and then concatenated
|
||||
into one string, where each segment is delimited using an ampersand ('&') character.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<example caption='Calculating Parameter String'>
|
||||
<![CDATA[
|
||||
PStr:=Escape(name_1)+'='+Escape(value_1)+'&'+...+Escape(name_N)+'='+Escape(value_N)]]>
|
||||
</example>
|
||||
</section2>
|
||||
<section2 topic='Calculating Signature Base String (BStr)' anchor='bstr'>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Signature Base String (BStr) is then formed concatenating <strong>Escape(type)</strong> (the form type used when submitting the form),
|
||||
<strong>Escape(to)</strong> (the full destination address, including resource, if any) and <strong>Escape(PStr)</strong>, using ampersands ('&') as
|
||||
delimiter.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<example caption='Calculating Signature Base String'>
|
||||
<![CDATA[
|
||||
BStr:=Escape(type)+'&'+Escape(to)+'&'+Escape(PStr)]]>
|
||||
</example>
|
||||
</section2>
|
||||
<section2 topic='Generating Signature' anchor='signature'>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Depending on which signature method is chosen, different Hash functions are used. If <strong>HMAC-SHA1</strong> is chosen, then the Hash function
|
||||
<strong>HMAC(text, key)</strong> according to &rfc2104; is used as follows:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<example caption='HMAC-SHA1'>
|
||||
<![CDATA[
|
||||
H(x):=HMAC-SHA1(x,Escape(oauth_consumer_secret)+'&'+Escape(oauth_token_secret))
|
||||
oauth_signature:=Escape(Base64(H(BStr)))]]>
|
||||
</example>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here, the client signing the form must have the <strong>oauth_consumer_secret</strong> available to be able to sign the form correctly.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If <strong>RSA-SHA1</strong> is chosen, then the signature method <strong>RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5(K, M)</strong> according to &rfc3447; is used as follows:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<example caption='RSA-SHA1'>
|
||||
<![CDATA[
|
||||
H(x):=RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5(oauth_consumer_secret,x)
|
||||
oauth_signature:=Escape(Base64(H(BStr)))]]>
|
||||
</example>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In this example, the <strong>oauth_consumer_secret</strong> must be an RSA private key.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If <strong>PLAINTEXT</strong> is chosen, no Hash function is used. Instead, the signature is calculated as follows:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<example caption='RSA-SHA1'>
|
||||
<![CDATA[
|
||||
oauth_signature:=Escape(oauth_consumer_secret)+Escape(oauth_token_secret)]]>
|
||||
</example>
|
||||
</section2>
|
||||
<section2 topic='Sending Form' anchor='sendingform'>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Once the signature has been calculated, the corresponding parameter <strong>oauth_signature</strong> has to be set in the form before sending it to the destination
|
||||
address.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</section2>
|
||||
<section2 topic='Validating Form' anchor='validatingform'>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When the recipient receives the signed formm it performs the same calculations as above, based on the parameters received, and knowledge of the shared secret which it
|
||||
can look up by using the parameter <strong>oauth_consumer_key</strong>.

In order for an application to determine whether an entity supports this protocol, where possible it SHOULD use the dynamic, presence-based profile of service discovery defined
|
||||
in &xep0115;. However, if an application has not received entity capabilities information from an entity, it SHOULD use explicit service discovery instead.

This document only specifies signatures using OAUTH v1.0. Each entity that supports form signatures using this method, reports this by including the
|
||||
namespace <strong>urn:xmpp:xdata:signature:oauth1</strong> in its features. The specification is extensible, in that it can allow for future signature
|
||||
methods to be used, by defining new namespaces replacing <strong>oauth1</strong> by another string corresponding to the desired method, but leaving the
|
||||
base part of the namespace <strong>urn:xmpp:xdata:signature:</strong> intact.

|

<p>
|

The PLAINTEXT signature method should only be used if SSL/TLS is used by both the entity signing the form as well as the creator of the form. If the creator of the form
|
||||
is a server, this later part can be ignored. If unsure, PLAINTEXT should only be used in development & debugging cycles of an application, and not in production environments.

<section2 topic='Session parameters' anchor='secsession'>
|

<p>
|
||||
If the server provides information to be used in signing a form, it must also verify that the client only changes values it is allowed to change. An alternative is to
|
||||
not use the values provided by the client for the corresponding server-side parameters when calculating the signature on the server side. This makes sure a client
|
||||
cannot willfully alter server-side parameters when it returns the signed form.
