RFC 7345                     UDPTL over DTLS                 August 2014


1.  Introduction

   While it is possible to transmit highly sensitive documents using
   traditional telephony encryption devices, secure fax on the Public
   Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) was never widely considered or
   prioritized.  This was mainly because of the challenges involved with
   malevolent physical access to telephony equipment.  As real-time
   communications transition to IP networks, where information might
   potentially be intercepted or spoofed, an appropriate level of
   security for fax that offers integrity and confidentiality protection
   is vital.

   The overwhelmingly predominant fax transport protocol is UDPTL-based,
   as described in Section 9.1 of [ITU.T38.2010].  The protocol stack
   for fax transport using UDPTL is shown in Figure 1.

                         +-----------------------------+
                         | Internet facsimile protocol |
                         +-----------------------------+
                         |            UDPTL            |
                         +-----------------------------+
                         |            UDP              |
                         +-----------------------------+
                         |            IP               |
                         +-----------------------------+

                Figure 1: Protocol Stack for UDPTL over UDP

   The following mechanisms are available for securing fax:

   o  Annex H of [ITU.T30.2005] specifies an application-layer integrity
      and confidentiality protection of fax that is independent of the
      transport protocol and is based on the RSA algorithm for use with
      the T.30 telephony protocol by Group 3 facsimile equipment (G3FE).

   o  [ITU.T38.2010] specifies fax transport over RTP/SAVP, which
      enables integrity and confidentiality protection of fax in IP
      networks.

   Both of these mechanisms have been available for many years and never
   gained any significant adoption in the market.  This has prompted an
   effort to develop an approach, based on open standards, for securing
   fax communications over an IP-based transport.

   Telephony-based protocols like T.30 offer application-level security
   options like the RSA-based approach detailed in Annex H of the T.30
   specification [ITU.T30.2005].  The problem is that it is very
   sparingly implemented and not enforced at the transport level.



RFC 7345                     UDPTL over DTLS                 August 2014


   It is worth noting that while T.38 over RTP offers a very viable
   option for such standards-based IP security solution using Secure
   Realtime Transport Protocol (SRTP), this fax-over-IP transport never
   gained any traction in the marketplace and accounts for a negligible
   percentage of fax-over-IP implementations.

   Thus, security mechanisms offering integrity and confidentiality
   protection should be limited to UDPTL-based fax transport, which is
   the only broad-based fax-over-IP solution.  The 3rd Generation
   Partnership Project (3GPP) launched a study on how best to provide
   secure fax in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for UDPTL.  Results
   of the study confirmed that this security was best achieved by using
   UDPTL over DTLS.

   This document specifies fax transport using UDPTL over DTLS
   [RFC6347], which enables integrity and confidentiality protection of
   fax in IP networks.  The protocol stack that enhances fax transport
   to offer integrity and confidentiality using UDPTL over DTLS is shown
   in Figure 2.

                         +-----------------------------+
                         | Internet facsimile protocol |
                         +-----------------------------+
                         |            UDPTL            |
                         +-----------------------------+
                         |            DTLS             |

           Figure 2: Protocol Stack for UDPTL over DTLS over UDP

   The primary motivations for the mechanism in this document are:

   o  The design of DTLS [RFC6347] is clearly defined and well
      understood, and implementations are widely available.

   o  No DTLS extensions are required in order to enable UDPTL transport
      over DTLS.

   o  Fax transport using UDPTL over DTLS only requires insertion of the
      DTLS layer between the UDPTL layer and the UDP layer, as shown in
      Figure 2.  The UDPTL layer and the layers above the UDPTL layer
      require no modifications.





RFC 7345                     UDPTL over DTLS                 August 2014


   o  UDPTL [ITU.T38.2010] is by far the most widely deployed fax
      transport protocol in IP networks.

   o  3GPP and the IP fax community need a mechanism to transport UDPTL
      over DTLS in order to provide secure fax in SIP-based networks
      (including IMS).

   This document specifies the transport of UDPTL over DTLS using the
   DTLS record layer "application_data" packets [RFC5246] [RFC6347].

   Since the DTLS record layer "application_data" packet does not
   indicate whether it carries UDPTL or some other protocol, the usage
   of a dedicated DTLS association for transport of UDPTL needs to be
   negotiated, e.g., using the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
   [RFC4566] and the SDP offer/answer mechanism [RFC3264].

   Therefore, this document specifies a new <proto> value [RFC4566] for
   the SDP media description ("m=" line) [RFC3264], in order to indicate
   UDPTL over DTLS in SDP messages [RFC4566].

2.  Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119
   [RFC2119].

   DTLS uses the term "session" to refer to a long-lived set of keying
   material that spans DTLS associations.  In this document, in order to
   be consistent with SIP/SDP usage of "session" terminology, we use
   "session" to refer to a multimedia session and use the term "DTLS
   session" to refer to the DTLS construct.  We use the term "DTLS
   association" to refer to a particular DTLS cipher suite and keying
   material set that is associated with a single host/port quartet.  The
   same DTLS session can be used to establish the keying material for
   multiple DTLS associations.  For consistency with other SIP/SDP
   usage, we use the term "connection" when what's being referred to is
   a multimedia stream that is not specifically DTLS.

3.  Secure Channel

   The UDPTL-over-DTLS media stream is negotiated using the SDP offer/
   answer mechanism [RFC3264].  See Section 4 for more details.

   DTLS is used as specified in [RFC6347].  Once the DTLS handshake is
   successfully completed (in order to prevent facsimile data from being
   transmitted insecurely), the UDPTL packets MUST be transported in
   DTLS record layer "application_data" packets.

4.  SDP Offerer/Answerer Procedures

4.1.  General

   An endpoint (i.e., both the offerer and the answerer) MUST create an
   SDP media description ("m=" line) for each UDPTL-over-DTLS media
   stream and MUST assign a UDP/TLS/UDPTL value (see Table 1) to the
   "proto" field of the "m=" line.

   The procedures in this section apply to an "m=" line associated with
   a UDPTL-over-DTLS media stream.

   In order to negotiate a UDPTL-over-DTLS media stream, the following
   SDP attributes are used:

   o  The SDP attributes defined for UDPTL over UDP, as described in
      [ITU.T38.2010]; and

   o  The SDP attributes, defined in [RFC4145] and [RFC4572], as
      described in this section.

   The endpoint MUST NOT use the SDP "connection" attribute [RFC4145].

   In order to negotiate the TLS roles for the UDPTL-over-DTLS transport
   connection, the endpoint MUST use the SDP "setup" attribute
   [RFC4145].

   If the endpoint supports, and is willing to use, a cipher suite with
   an associated certificate, the endpoint MUST include an SDP
   "fingerprint" attribute [RFC4572].  The endpoint MUST support SHA-256
   for generating and verifying the SDP "fingerprint" attribute value.
   The use of SHA-256 is preferred.  UDPTL over DTLS, at a minimum, MUST
   support TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and MUST support
   TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.  UDPTL over DTLS MUST prefer
   TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and any other Perfect Forward
   Secrecy (PFS) cipher suites over non-PFS cipher suites.
   Implementations SHOULD disable TLS-level compression.

   If a cipher suite with an associated certificate is selected during
   the DTLS handshake, the certificate received during the DTLS
   handshake MUST match the fingerprint received in the SDP
   "fingerprint" attribute.  If the fingerprint does not match the
   hashed certificate, then the endpoint MUST tear down the media
   session immediately.  Note that it is permissible to wait until the
   other side's fingerprint has been received before establishing the
   connection; however, this may have undesirable latency effects.





RFC 7345                     UDPTL over DTLS                 August 2014


4.2.  Generating the Initial Offer

   The offerer SHOULD assign the SDP "setup" attribute with a value of
   "actpass", unless the offerer insists on being either the sender or
   receiver of the DTLS ClientHello message, in which case the offerer
   can use either a value of "active" (the offerer will be the sender of
   ClientHello) or "passive" (the offerer will be the receiver of
   ClientHello).  The offerer MUST NOT assign an SDP "setup" attribute
   with a "holdconn" value.

   If the offerer assigns the SDP "setup" attribute with a value of
   "actpass" or "passive", the offerer MUST be prepared to receive a
   DTLS ClientHello message before it receives the SDP answer.

4.3.  Generating the Answer

   If the answerer accepts the offered UDPTL-over-DTLS transport
   connection, in the associated SDP answer, the answerer MUST assign an
   SDP "setup" attribute with a value of either "active" or "passive",
   according to the procedures in [RFC4145].  The answerer MUST NOT
   assign an SDP "setup" attribute with a value of "holdconn".

   If the answerer assigns an SDP "setup" attribute with a value of
   "active" value, the answerer MUST initiate a DTLS handshake by
   sending a DTLS ClientHello message on the negotiated media stream,
   towards the IP address and port of the offerer.

4.4.  Offerer Processing of the Answer

   When the offerer receives an SDP answer, if the offerer ends up being
   active it MUST initiate a DTLS handshake by sending a DTLS
   ClientHello message on the negotiated media stream, towards the IP
   address and port of the answerer.

4.5.  Modifying the Session

   Once an offer/answer exchange has been completed, either endpoint MAY
   send a new offer in order to modify the session.  The endpoints can
   reuse the existing DTLS association if the key fingerprint values and
   transport parameters indicated by each endpoint are unchanged.
   Otherwise, following the rules for the initial offer/answer exchange,
   the endpoints can negotiate and create a new DTLS association and,
   once created, delete the previous DTLS association, following the
   same rules for the initial offer/answer exchange.  Each endpoint
   needs to be prepared to receive data on both the new and old DTLS
   associations as long as both are alive.





RFC 7345                     UDPTL over DTLS                 August 2014


5.  Miscellaneous Considerations

5.1.  Anonymous Calls

   When making anonymous calls, a new self-signed certificate SHOULD be
   used for each call, and attributes inside the certificate MUST NOT
   contain information that allows either correlation or identification
   of the user making anonymous calls.  This is particularly important
   for the "subjectAltName" and "commonName" attributes.

5.2.  NAT Traversal

5.2.1.  ICE Usage

   When Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) [RFC5245] is being
   used, the ICE connectivity checks are performed before the DTLS
   handshake begins.  Note that if aggressive nomination mode is used,
   multiple candidate pairs may be marked valid before ICE finally
   converges on a single candidate pair.  User Agents (UAs) MUST treat
   all ICE candidate pairs associated with a single component as part of
   the same DTLS association.  Thus, there will be only one DTLS
   handshake even if there are multiple valid candidate pairs.  Note
   that this may mean adjusting the endpoint IP addresses if the
   selected candidate pair shifts, just as if the DTLS packets were an
   ordinary media stream.  In the case of an ICE restart, the DTLS
   handshake procedure is repeated, and a new DTLS association is
   created.  Once the DTLS handshake is completed and the new DTLS
   association has been created, the previous DTLS association is
   deleted.

5.2.2.  STUN Interaction

   The UA MUST send the Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN)
   packets [RFC5389] directly over UDP, not over DTLS.

   The UA MUST support the following mechanism for demultiplexing
   packets arriving on the IP address and port associated with the DTLS
   association:

   o  If the value of the first byte of the packet is 0 or 1, then the
      packet is STUN.

   o  If the value of the first byte of the packet is between 20 and 63
      (inclusive), the packet is DTLS.







RFC 7345                     UDPTL over DTLS                 August 2014


5.3.  Rekeying

   During rekeying, packets protected by the previous set of keys can
   arrive after the DTLS handshake caused by rekeying has completed,
   because packets can be reordered on the wire.  To compensate for this
   fact, receivers MUST maintain both sets of keys for some time in
   order to be able to decrypt and verify older packets.  The duration
   of maintaining the previous set of keys after the finish of the DTLS
   handshake is out of the scope of this document.

5.4.  Compatibility with UDPTL over UDP

   If a user requires fax to be transported securely using UDPTL over
   DTLS, and if the remote user does not support UDPTL over DTLS, then a
   fax media stream cannot be established.

   If a user prefers fax to be transported securely using UDPTL over
   DTLS but is willing to transport the fax insecurely in case the
   remote user does not support UDPTL over DTLS, then the SDP Capability
   Negotiation mechanism [RFC5939] can be used to offer both UDPTL over
   DTLS and UDPTL over UDP.  Alternatively, if the remote user rejects
   an SDP offer for UDPTL over DTLS, a new SDP offer for a UDPTL-over-
   UDP media stream can be sent.

6.  Security Considerations

   Fax may be used to transmit a wide range of sensitive data, including
   personal, corporate, and governmental information.  It is therefore
   critical to be able to protect against threats to the confidentiality
   and integrity of the transmitted data.

   The mechanism in this document provides integrity and confidentiality
   protection for fax by specifying fax transport using UDPTL over DTLS
   [RFC6347].

   DTLS media stream negotiated using SIP/SDP requires a mechanism to
   ensure that the certificate received via DTLS was issued by the
   remote party of the SIP session.

   The standard DTLS strategy for authenticating the communicating
   parties is to give the server (and optionally the client) a PKIX
   [RFC5280] certificate.  The client then verifies the certificate and
   checks that the name in the certificate matches the server's domain
   name.  This works because there are a relatively small number of
   servers and the cost for issuing and deploying PKIX certificates can
   be justified.  Issuing and deploying PKIX certificates to all clients
   is not realistic in most deployment scenarios.




RFC 7345                     UDPTL over DTLS                 August 2014


   The design described in this document is intended to leverage the
   integrity protection of the SIP signaling, while not requiring
   confidentiality.  As long as each side of the connection can verify
   the integrity of the SDP received from the other side, then the DTLS
   handshake cannot be hijacked via a man-in-the-middle attack.  This
   integrity protection is easily provided by the caller to the callee
   via the SIP Identity [RFC4474] mechanism.  Other mechanisms, such as
   the S/MIME mechanism [RFC3261] or perhaps future mechanisms yet to be
   specified, could also serve this purpose.

   While this mechanism can still be used without such integrity
   mechanisms, the security provided is limited to defense against
   passive attack by intermediaries.  An active attack on the signaling
   plus an active attack on the media plane can allow an attacker to
   attack the connection (R-SIG-MEDIA in the notation of [RFC5479]).

7.  IANA Considerations

   This document updates the "Session Description Protocol (SDP)
   Parameters" registry as specified in Section 8.2.2 of [RFC4566].
   Specifically, the values in Table 1 have been added to the SDP
   "proto" field registry.

Appendix A.  Examples

A.1.  General

   Prior to establishing the session, both Alice and Bob generate self-
   signed certificates that are used for a single session or, more
   likely, reused for multiple sessions.

   The SIP signaling from Alice to her proxy is transported over TLS to
   ensure an integrity-protected channel between Alice and her identity
   service.  Alice's identity service asserts identity of Alice and
   protects the SIP message, e.g., using SIP Identity.  Transport
   between proxies should also be protected, e.g., by use of TLS.

   In order to simplify the flow, only one element is shown for Alice's
   and Bob's proxies.

   For the sake of brevity and simplicity, only the mandatory SDP T.38
   attributes are shown.

A.2.  Basic Message Flow

   Figure 3 shows an example message flow of session establishment for
   T.38 fax securely transported using UDPTL over DTLS.

   In this example flow, Alice acts as the passive endpoint of the DTLS
   association, and Bob acts as the active endpoint of the DTLS
   association.

   Message (1):

      Figure 4 shows the initial INVITE request sent by Alice to Alice's
      proxy.  The initial INVITE request contains an SDP offer.

      The "m=" line in the SDP offer indicates T.38 fax using UDPTL over
      DTLS.

      The SDP "setup" attribute with a value of "actpass" in the SDP
      offer indicates that Alice has requested to be either the active
      or passive endpoint.

      The SDP "fingerprint" attribute in the SDP offer contains the
      certificate fingerprint computed from Alice's self-signed
      certificate.

   Message (3):

      Assuming that Alice's identity is valid, Bob sends a DTLS
      ClientHello directly to Alice.

   Message (4):

      Alice and Bob exchange further messages of DTLS handshake
      (HelloVerifyRequest, ClientHello, ServerHello, Certificate,
      ServerKeyExchange, CertificateRequest, ServerHelloDone,
      Certificate, ClientKeyExchange, CertificateVerify,
      ChangeCipherSpec, and Finished).

      When Bob receives the certificate of Alice via DTLS, Bob checks
      whether the certificate fingerprint calculated from Alice's
      certificate received via DTLS matches the certificate fingerprint
      received in the a=fingerprint SDP attribute of Figure 5.  In this
      message flow, the check is successful; thus, session setup
      continues.

      Note that, unlike in this example, it is not necessary to wait for
      the DTLS handshake to finish before the SDP answer is sent.  If
      Bob has sent the SIP 200 (OK) response and later detects that the
      certificate fingerprints do not match, he will terminate the
      session.

   Message (5):

      Figure 6 shows a SIP 200 (OK) response to the initial SIP INVITE
      request, sent by Bob to Bob's proxy.  The SIP 200 (OK) response
      contains an SDP answer.

      The "m=" line in the SDP answer indicates T.38 fax using UDPTL
      over DTLS.

      The SDP "setup" attribute with a value of "active" in the SDP
      answer indicates that Bob has requested to be the active endpoint.

      The SDP "fingerprint" attribute in the SDP answer contains the
      certificate fingerprint computed from Bob's self-signed
      certificate.

A.3.  Message Flow of T.38 Fax Replacing Audio Media Stream in an
      Existing Audio-Only Session

   Traditionally, most sessions with non-secure transport of T.38 fax,
   transported using UDPTL, are established by modifying an ongoing
   audio session into a fax session.  Figure 8 shows an example message
   flow of modifying an existing audio session into a session with T.38
   fax securely transported using UDPTL over DTLS.

   In this example flow, Alice acts as the passive endpoint of the DTLS
   association, and Bob acts as the active endpoint of the DTLS
   association.
