  <title>Extensible In-Band Registration</title>
  <abstract>
    This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for in-band
    registration with instant messaging servers and other services with which an
    XMPP entity may initiate a stream.
    It aims to improve upon the state of the art and replace XEP-0077: In-Band
    Registration by allowing multi-factor registration mechanisms, and account
    recovery.

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
  <p>
    Historically, registering with an XMPP service has been difficult.
    Each server either used customized out-of-band registration mechanisms such
    as web forms which were difficult to discover, or they used &xep0077; which
    could easily be abused by spammers to register large numbers of accounts and
    which allowed for only limited extensibility.
  </p>
  <p>
    To solve these issues this specification provides a new in-band registration
    protocol that allows servers to present the user with a series of
    "challenges".
    This allows for both multi-stage proof-of-possession registration flows and
    spam prevention mechanisms such as proof-of-work functions.
  </p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='reqs'>
  <ul>
    <li>
      The server MUST be able to present multiple challenges to the client.
    </li>
    <li>
      The server SHOULD be able reduce account registration spam.
    </li>
    <li>
      The server MAY present a challenge that requires the user to complete a
      step out-of-band.
    </li>
    <li>
      A client SHOULD be able to register an account without requiring the user
      to leave the client.
    </li>
    <li>
      A client MUST be able to use the same mechanism to register an account and
      to recover a forgotten password (subject to server policy).
    </li>
    <li>
      A client MUST be able to register with a server as well as external
      components.

<section1 topic='Glossary' anchor='glossary'>
  <dl>
    <di>
      <dt>Challenge</dt>
      <dd>
        A challenge is an action taken during account registration or recovery
        that requires a response.
        For example, displaying a form to a user or asking for a token.
      </dd>
    </di>
    <di>
      <dt>Challenge Type</dt>
      <dd>
        The type of a challenge is a unique string that identifies the type of
        payload that can be expected.
        For example, a challenge element with type "jabber:x:data" can be
        expected to contain a data form.
        Challenge types must be defined and registered in the challenge types
        registry.
        When defining a challenge it is often convenient to reuse an XML
        namespace from the document defining the challenge.
      </dd>
    </di>
    <di>
      <dt>Flow</dt>
      <dd>
        A flow, or more specifically a "registration flow" or "recovery flow",
        is a collection of challenges that together can be used to gather enough
        information to register a new account or recover an existing account.
      </dd>
    </di>
  </dl>

<section1 topic='Use Cases' anchor='usecases'>
  <ul>
    <li>
      As a server operator, I want to prevent individual spammers from
      registering many accounts so I require registrants to perform a
      proof-of-work function before registration is completed.
    </li>
    <li>
      As a server operator I want to prevent bots from registering accounts so I
      require that registrants submit a form which requires user interaction.
    </li>
    <li>
      As a user I do not want to lose access to my account if I forget my
      password, so I provide my email and telephone number in response to the
      servers data form.
    </li>
    <li>
      As a server operator I do not want users to accidentally add an incorrect
      recovery address so I send an email with a unique link to the indicated
      account and require that they click the link before registration can
      continue.
    </li>
    <li>
      As a server operator I want to prevent SPIM using a proof-of-possession
      protocol so I present the user with a form asking for a mobile phone
      number and then send a verification code to that number via SMS and show
      another form requesting the verification code.
    </li>
  </ul>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Discovering Support' anchor='disco'>
  <p>
    Clients, servers, and other services such as components that support
    Extensible IBR MUST advertise the fact by including a feature of
    "urn::xmpp:register:0" in response to &xep0030; information requests and in
    their &xep0115; profiles.
  </p>
  <example caption='Disco info response'><![CDATA[
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'>
  …
  <feature var='urn:xmpp:register:0' />
  …
</query>]]></example>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Flows' anchor='flows'>
  <p>
    Registration or recovery is completed after responding to a series of
    challenges issued by the server.
    Challenges are grouped in to "flows", a number of challenges that may be
    issued together to complete an action.
    For example, a registration flow might be created that issues a data form
    challenge which will be shown to the user to gather information, then issues
    a second data form challenge to let the user enter a confirmation code that
    was sent to their email.
  </p>
  <section2 topic='Stream Feature'>
  <p>
    If a server supports registering for or recovering an account using
    Extensible IBR during stream negotiation, it MUST inform the connecting
    client when returning stream features during the stream negotiation process.
    This is done by including a &lt;register/&gt; element, qualified by the
    'urn:xmpp:register:0' namespace for account registration, or a
    &lt;recovery/&gt; element qualified by the same namespace for account
    recovery.
    The register and recovery features are always voluntary-to-negotiate.
    The registration and recovery features MUST NOT be advertised before a
    security layer has been negotiated, eg. using direct TLS or opportunistic
    TLS.
    They SHOULD be advertised at the same time as the SASL authentication
    feature, meaning that after registration or recovery is completed SASL
    authentication can proceed.
  </p>
  <p>
    For recovery or registration, the server MUST include a list of all
    challenges which the client may receive during the course of registering or
    recovering an account.
    These are grouped into "flows" and let the client pick a registration
    workflow that only contains challenges which the client supports.
    Each &lt;flow/&gt; element MUST have a unique "id" attribute which is used
    by the client to identify the flow being selected.
    The id attribute is only used during this particular flow negotiation and
    has no meaning after a flow has been selected.
    Flows must also have at least one &lt;name/&gt; element containing a short,
    human readable description of the flow.
    If multiple &lt;name/&gt; elements are present they MUST have unique values
    for the "xml:lang" attribute.
    Clients MAY use the name element to show the different flows to the user and
    ask them to pick between them.
    Each flow element must also contain an unordered set of &lt;challenge/&gt;
    elements representing the various challenge types that may be required to
    complete the registration or recovery flow.
    Each &lt;challenge/&gt; element contains a "type" attribute that uniquely
    identifies the challenge for the purpose of determining if it is supported.
    If a flow would offer the same challenge twice (eg. two data forms asking
    for different data), the challenge SHOULD only be listed once in the flow
    element.
  </p>
  <p>
    For example, a server may advertise a "Verify with SMS" flow and a "Verify
    by Phone Call" flow that both show a data form asking for a phone number
    and then a second data form asking for a token provided to the user in a
    text message or phone call depending on which flow the user selects.
  </p>

      <challenge type='jabber:x:oob'/>
    </flow>
  </recovery>
</stream:features>]]></example>
  </section2>
  <p>
    Just because a challenge type is listed by the server in the initial flow
    element does not mean that it will be issued by the server.
    Servers MAY choose to issue more or fewer challenges based on the result of
    previous challenges and may not use every challenge type listed in the
    original flow.
  </p>
  <section2 topic='Retrieving the Flows'>
    <p>
      Registration or recovery may also be completed after stream neogtiation if
      server policy allows it.
    </p>
    <p>
      To find what flows an entity provides (if any) after stream negotiation is
      complete the requester can send an IQ of type "get" containing a
      &lt;register&gt; or &lt;recovery&gt; element qualified by the
      "urn:xmpp:register:0" namespace.
    </p>
    <example caption='Registration flows query'><![CDATA[
<iq type='get'>
  <register xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'/>
</iq>]]></example>
    <p>
      When responding to a query for registration or recovery flows the list of
      challenges MUST be included just as it would be during stream feature
      negotiation.
      That is, a "register" or "recovery" element containing a list of flows,
      each with an id, containing a name and a list of challenges.
    </p>
    <example caption='Registration flows results'><![CDATA[
<iq type='result'>
  <register xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'>
    <flow id='0'>
      <name>Verify with SMS</name>
      <challenge type='jabber:x:data'/>
    </flow>
    <flow id='1'>
      <name>Verify by Phone Call</name>
      <challenge type='jabber:x:data'/>
    </flow>
    <flow id='2'>
      <name>Verify with the web</name>
      <challenge type='jabber:x:data'/>
      <challenge type='jabber:x:oob'/>
    </flow>
  </register>
</iq>]]></example>
    <p>
      If an entity supports issuing challenges but does not provide any flows
      after stream negotiation is complete it MUST respond with an empty list.
      Similarly, an entity that supports this specification but does not support
      issuign challenges itself (for example, a client that only supports
      receiving challenges) it MUST respond successfully with an empty list.
    </p>
    <example caption='Empty registration flows results'><![CDATA[
<iq type='result'>
  <register xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'/>
</iq>]]></example>
  </section2>
  <section2 topic='Issuing Challenges' anchor='challenge'>
    <p>
      A client selects the registration or recovery feature for negotiation by
      replying with an element of the same name and namespace.
      The element MUST contain a &lt;flow&gt; element that MUST have an "id"
      attribute matching one of the flows advertised by the server.
      For example, to select the "Verify by Phone Call" registration flow from
      the previous example, the client would reply with:
    </p>
  <example caption='Client selects a recovery flow'><![CDATA[
<register xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'>
  <flow id='1'/>
</register>]]></example>
    <p>
      If the client is initiating registration or recovery after a stream has
      already been initiated it uses the same registration element wrapped in an
      IQ of type "set".
    </p>
    <example caption='Client selects a recovery flow after stream negotiation'><![CDATA[
<iq type='set' id='foo'>
  <recovery xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'>
    <flow id='0'/>
  </recovery>
</iq>]]></example>
    <p>
      The server then replies to the IQ or feature selection with a challenge.
      If replying to an IQ, the challenge must be wrapped in an IQ of type
      "result".
      Challenges take the form of a &lt;challenge/&gt; element qualified by the
      'urn:xmpp:register:0' namespace with a 'type' attribute that uniquely
      identifies the type of payload a client might expect the element to
      contain.
    </p>
    <example caption='Server issues a challenge'><![CDATA[
<challenge xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'
           type='urn:example:challenge'>
  <example xmlns='urn:example:challenge'>Payload</example>
</challenge>]]></example>
    <p>
      After a challenge is received, the client replies to the challenge by
      sending a &lt;response/&gt; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:register:0'
      namespace or a cancellation as defined later in this document.
      If the client sends a response, it MUST also include the payload
      corresponding to the challenges 'type' element (which may be empty).
    </p>
    <example caption='Client responds to a challenge'><![CDATA[
<response xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'>
  <result xmlns='urn:example:challenge'>Example Response</result>
</response>]]></example>
    <p>
      After a response is received, if the server needs more information it MAY
      issue another challenge.
      For example, if the user has entered their email in response to a
      challenge, the server might send an email and then issue another challenge
      asking for the unique code sent in the email.
    </p>
  </section2>
  <section2 topic='Completing Registration or Recovery' anchor='completion'>
    <p>
      If after receiving a challenge or response a client or server does not
      wish to continue registration or recovery, it may send an empty
      &lt;cancel/&gt; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:register:0' namespace.
      This informs the client or server that registration is complete.
      This is the same as submitting a data form of type 'cancel' in response to
      a data form challenge.
    </p>
    <example caption='User Cancels Registration or Recovery'><![CDATA[
<cancel xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'/>]]></example>
    <p>
      If the IQ based registration or recovery flow is being used and the server
      wishes to cancel the flow, it MAY respond to any IQ with the cancel
      element and type "result".
    </p>
    <example caption='Client or server cancels request'><![CDATA[
<iq type='result' id='bar'>
  <cancel xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'/>
</iq>]]></example>
    <p>
      A server may also issue a cancelation IQ with type 'set' if it wishes to
      cancel after a request/response has been received (ie. when there is no
      existing IQ to respond to).
    </p>
    <example caption='Server cancels flow'><![CDATA[
<iq type='set' id='bar'>
  <cancel xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'/>
</iq>]]></example>
    <p>
      If the client successfully completes all required challenges during stream
      negotiation the server MUST return a &lt;success/&gt; element qualified by
      the 'urn:xmpp:register:0' namespace, at which point it may continue with
      the stream negotiation process.
      The success element MUST contain a &lt;jid&gt; element containing the bare
      JID as registered or recovered by the server and a &lt;username&gt;
      element containing the simple user name for use with SASL (normally this
      will be the same as the localpart of the JID).
    </p>
    <example caption='Server indicates success during steam negotiation'><![CDATA[
<success xmlns='urn:xmpp:register:0'>
  <jid>mercutio@example.net</jid>
  <username>mercutio</username>
</success>]]></example>
    <p>
      If the IQ based flow is being used and the server wishes to indicate
      success after a challenge has been completed it sends an IQ of type "set"
      containing the &lt;success/&gt; element.
    </p>
    <example caption='Server indicates success after stream negotiation'><![CDATA[

<section1 topic='Internationalization Considerations' anchor='i18n'>
  <p>
    When providing instructions in a data form, or in the name element of a
    registration or recovery flow, the server SHOULD use the language specified
    in the XML stream's current xml:lang, or the closest language for which the
    server has a translation (eg. based on mutual intelligibility between
    scripts and languages).
  </p>
  <p>
    For more information about language tags and matching, see &bcp47;.

</section1>
<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
  <p>
    Servers that allow in-band registration need to take measures to prevent
    abuse.
    Common techniques to prevent spam registrations include displaying CAPTCHAs
    or requiring proof-of-possession of a valid email address or telephone
    number by sending a unique code (e.g. an HMAC that can later be verified as
    having originated at the server) to the users email and requiring that they
    enter the code before continuing.
    Servers that do not take such measures risk being black listed by other
    servers in the network.
