|

|
||||
<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 token 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 'htpps://xmpp.org/extensions/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 Token' anchor='obtain'>
|

|

<p>In order to obtain an ISR token, the requesting entity must add an
|
||||
'isr-enable' element qualified by the 'htpps://xmpp.org/extensions/isr/0' namespace to the
|
||||
<enable/> element as defined in &xep0198; when attempting to
|
||||
enable Stream Management. This <isr-enable/> element MUST contain a
|
||||
'mechanism' attribute containing the name of the SASL mechanism the
|
||||
requesting entity will use when performing ISR with the returned
|
||||
token. The entities involved in ISR MUST only use or allow this
|
||||
mechanism when performing ISR with the according token. 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

contain an 'isr-enabled' element qualified by the 'htpps://xmpp.org/extensions/isr/0'
|
||||
namespace containing a ISR token as value of its 'token' attribute. The
|
||||
token MUST be newly generated by a cryptographically secure random
|
||||
number generator and MUST contain at least 128 bit of entropy. The
|
||||
<isr-enabled/> element can optionally also contain a
|
||||
'location' attribute
|
||||
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 token. After it has obtained the ISR token, 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 'htpps://xmpp.org/extensions/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 'htpps://xmpp.org/extensions/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 'htpps://xmpp.org/extensions/isr/0'
|
||||
namespace, which must contain a <resume/> element as defined
|
||||
in &xep0198;.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If the with-isr-token' attribute is set to 'false', then the
|
||||
SASL mechanism is performed as when traditionally authenticating
|
||||
the XMPP session. If the value of the attribute is 'true', which is
|
||||
the default value for this attribute, then the "password" given to
|
||||
the SASL mechanism is the ISR token. Note that this implies that only
|
||||
SASL mechanisms which take a password/token can be used this
|
||||
way.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that the initiating entity SHOULD pipeline the instant
|
||||
stream resumption request together with then initial
|
||||
<stream> open element. The initiating entity is able to do
|
||||
so since it already knows that the service supports ISR because it
|
||||
announced an ISR token.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Servers MUST destroy the ISR token of a stream after an instant
|
||||
stream resumption was attempted for that stream with an invalid ISR
|
||||
token. Server implementations MUST implement the ISR token comparision in
|
||||
linear runtime.</p>

<p>On success the server replies with a <success/> nonza as

<inst-resumed/> element qualified by the 'htpps://xmpp.org/extensions/isr/0'
|

namespace. This element MUST contain a <em>new</em> ISR Token found in
|

the 'token' attribute. It also MUST include a <resumed/> as
|

specified in &xep0198; containing the sequence number of the last by
|

Stream Management handled stanza in the 'h' attribute and the

'previd' attribute.</p>
|

|

<p>In case of an successful Instant Stream Resumption authenticated
|

by an ISR token, the server MUST immediately destroy the ISR token after

authentication, i.e., it MUST no longer be possible to perform an
|

ISR using that ISR token and Stream Management ID (SM-ID, see
|
||||
&xep0198;) tuple.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After the <inst-resumed/> was received and has been
|
||||
verified both entities MUST consider the resumed stream to be
|

re-established. This includes all previously negotiated stream
|
||||
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
|
||||
resumption.</p>
|

|
||||
<p class='box'>Note that this behavior is different from &xep0198;
|
||||
stream resumption, where "outer stream" features like compression
|
||||
are not restored. Since such a behavior would be counterproductive
|
||||
towards the goal of this XEP, it specifies that the negotiation
|
||||
state of such "outer stream" features is also restored (besides the
|
||||
features which where already negotiated at ISR-time, i.e. TLS).</p>

<p>Any ISR data SHALL NOT be part of <cite>TLS 1.3</cite> 0-RTT
|

early data. (TODO: Shall we weaken this requirement to allow early
|
||||
data?. It would be technically possible if the sender does not add
|
||||
additional data, for example Stanzas, after the ISR/XEP-0388 data at
|
||||
the end of the early data. And if the receiver does ensure that the
|

existence of such additional data is causing an ISR failure.)</p>
