|
|
<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>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; provides the primary security label. It is commonly issued
|
|
by the sender under the security policy of that they and their home
|
|
server operating under. The &LABEL; contains either a single element
|
|
representing the primary security label or is empty to indicate use of
|
|
a default.</p>
|
|
<p>Each &EQUIVALENTLABEL; represents an equivalent security label under
|
|
other policies. Each &EQUIVALENTLABEL; contains a single element
|
|
representing the equivalent label. This element might be used when
|
|
a recepient is known to hold a clearance under a different policy
|
|
than the sender.</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>.

<section1 topic='Label Catalog Discovery' anchor='label-catalog'>
|
|
<p>A client can request a catalog for a particular JID by sending
|
|
an catalog discovery request to the client's server. Where the JID
|
|
is hosted by some other server, the client's server is expected to
|
|
produce a suitable catalog (or fail the request). The client's server
|
|
may, as needed, query catalogs from other servers in order to
|
|
fulfill the client's request.</p>
|
|
<p>While this specification does not preclude a client from directing
|
|
a catalog request elsewhere, it is noted that catalog returned by
|
|
a party other than its server may not be directly useable by the
|
|
client. For instance, the client's server might require a particular
|
|
only-locally-known label be used in messages to a particular remote
|
|
JID.</p>
|
|
<p>It is RECOMMENDED the server publish 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:1</tt> feature.
|
|
The following pair of examples illustrates this feature discovery.</p>
|
|
<p>Each item in the catalog may contain a selector attribute. The
|
|
value of this attribute represents the item's placement in a
|
|
hierarchical organization of the items. The value of the selector
|
|
attribute conforms to the selector-value ABNF production:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<![CDATA[
|
|
selector-value = (<item>"|")*<item>
|
|
]]>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>where <item> is a sequence of characters not including "|".</p>
|
|
<p>A value of "X|Y|Z" indicates that this item is "Z" in the
|
|
the "Y" subset of the "X" subset of items. This information may
|
|
be used, for instance, in generating label selection menus in
|
|
graphical user interfaces.</p>
|
|
<blockquote>Note: use of unnecessarily deep hierarchies should be
|
|
avoided.</blockquote>

|
|
<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 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
|
|
via room configuration mechanisms. The approach is intended to be
|
|
ad-hoc. Hence this section is intended to be illustrative, not
|
|
prescriptive.</p>

<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>
