SIP-Based Messaging with S/MIME
Abstract
Mobile messaging applications used with the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) commonly use some combination of the SIP MESSAGE
method and the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP). While these
provide mechanisms for hop-by-hop security, neither natively provides
end-to-end protection. This document offers guidance on how to
provide end-to-end authentication, integrity protection, and
confidentiality using the Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions (S/MIME). It updates and provides clarifications for RFCs
3261, 3428, and 4975.

1. Introduction
Several mobile messaging systems use the Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) [RFC3261], typically as some combination of the SIP MESSAGE
method [RFC3428] and the Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP)
[RFC4975]. For example, Voice over LTE (VoLTE) uses the SIP MESSAGE
method to send Short Message Service (SMS) messages. The Open Mobile
Alliance (OMA) Converged IP Messaging (CPM) system [CPM] uses the SIP
MESSAGE method for short "pager mode" messages and uses MSRP for
large messages and for sessions of messages. The Global System for
Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) Rich Communication Services
(RCS) uses CPM for messaging [RCS].
At the same time, organizations increasingly depend on mobile
messaging systems to send notifications to their customers. Many of
these notifications are security sensitive. For example, such
notifications are commonly used for notice of financial transactions,
notice of login or password change attempts, and the sending of
two-factor authentication codes.
Both SIP and MSRP can be used to transport any content using
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) formats. The SIP
MESSAGE method is typically limited to short messages (under
1300 octets for the MESSAGE request). MSRP can carry arbitrarily
large messages and can break large messages into chunks.
While both SIP and MSRP provide mechanisms for hop-by-hop security,
neither provides native end-to-end protection. Instead, they depend
on S/MIME [RFC8550] [RFC8551]. However, at the time of this writing,
S/MIME is not in common use for SIP-based and MSRP-based messaging
services. This document updates and clarifies RFCs 3261, 3428, and
4975 in an attempt to make S/MIME for SIP and MSRP easier to
implement and deploy in an interoperable fashion.
This document updates RFCs 3261, 3428, and 4975 to update the
cryptographic algorithm recommendations and the handling of S/MIME
data objects. It updates RFC 3261 to allow S/MIME signed messages to
be sent without embedded certificates in some situations. Finally,
it updates RFCs 3261, 3428, and 4975 to clarify error-reporting
requirements for certain situations.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Problem Statement and Scope
This document discusses the use of S/MIME with SIP-based messaging.
Other standardized messaging protocols exist, such as the Extensible
Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) [RFC6121]. Likewise, other
end-to-end protection formats exist, such as JSON Web Signatures
[RFC7515] and JSON Web Encryption [RFC7516].
This document focuses on SIP-based messaging because its use is
becoming more common in mobile environments. It focuses on S/MIME,
since several mobile operating systems already have S/MIME libraries
installed. While there may also be value in specifying end-to-end
security for other messaging and security mechanisms, it is out of
scope for this document.
MSRP sessions are negotiated using the Session Description Protocol
(SDP) [RFC4566] offer/answer mechanism [RFC3264] or similar
mechanisms. This document assumes that SIP is used for the
offer/answer exchange. However, the techniques should be adaptable
to other signaling protocols.
[RFC3261], [RFC3428], and [RFC4975] already describe the use of
S/MIME. [RFC3853] updates SIP to support the Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES). In aggregate, that guidance is incomplete, contains
inconsistencies, and is still out of date in terms of supported and
recommended algorithms.
The guidance in RFC 3261 is based on an implicit assumption that
S/MIME is being used to secure signaling applications. That advice
is not entirely appropriate for messaging applications. For example,
it assumes that message decryption always happens before the SIP
transaction completes.
This document offers normative updates and clarifications to the use
of S/MIME with the SIP MESSAGE method and MSRP. It does not attempt
to define a complete secure messaging system. Such a system would
require considerable work around user enrollment, certificate and key
generation and management, multi-party chats, device management, etc.
While nothing herein should preclude those efforts, they are out of
scope for this document.
This document primarily covers the sending of single messages -- for
example, "pager-mode messages" sent using the SIP MESSAGE method and
"large messages" sent in MSRP. Techniques to use a common signing or
encryption key across a session of messages are out of scope for this
document.
Cryptographic algorithm requirements in this document are intended to
supplement those already specified for SIP and MSRP.
4. Applicability of S/MIME
The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) [RFC5652] is an encapsulation
syntax that is used to digitally sign, digest, authenticate, or
encrypt arbitrary message content. The CMS supports a variety of
architectures for certificate-based key management, especially the
one defined by the IETF PKIX (Public Key Infrastructure using X.509)
Working Group [RFC5280]. The CMS values are generated using ASN.1
[X680], using the Basic Encoding Rules (BER) and Distinguished
Encoding Rules (DER) [X690].
The S/MIME Message Specification [RFC8551] defines MIME body parts
based on the CMS. In this document, the application/pkcs7-mime media
type is used to digitally sign an encapsulated body part, and it is
also used to encrypt an encapsulated body part.
4.1. Signed Messages
While both SIP and MSRP require support for the multipart/signed
format, the use of application/pkcs7-mime is RECOMMENDED for most
signed messages. Experience with the use of S/MIME in electronic
mail has shown that multipart/signed bodies are at greater risk of
"helpful" tampering by intermediaries, a common cause of signature
validation failure. This risk is also present for messaging
applications; for example, intermediaries might insert Instant
Message Disposition Notification (IMDN) requests [RFC5438] into
messages. (See Section 9.2.) The application/pkcs7-mime format is
also more compact, which can be important for messaging applications,
especially when using the SIP MESSAGE method. (See Section 7.1.)
The use of multipart/signed may still make sense if the message needs
to be readable by receiving agents that do not support S/MIME.
When generating a signed message, sending User Agents (UAs) SHOULD
follow the conventions specified in [RFC8551] for the
application/pkcs7-mime media type with smime-type=signed-data. When
validating a signed message, receiving UAs MUST follow the
conventions specified in [RFC8551] for the application/pkcs7-mime
media type with smime-type=signed-data.
Sending and receiving UAs MUST support the SHA-256 message digest
algorithm [RFC5754]. For convenience, the SHA-256 algorithm
identifier is repeated here:
id-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101)
csor(3) nistalgorithm(4) hashalgs(2) 1 }
Sending and receiving UAs MAY support other message digest
algorithms.
Sending and receiving UAs MUST support the Elliptic Curve Digital
Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) using the NIST P-256 elliptic curve and
the SHA-256 message digest algorithm [RFC5480] [RFC5753]. Sending
and receiving UAs SHOULD support the Edwards-curve Digital Signature
Algorithm (EdDSA) with curve25519 (Ed25519) [RFC8032] [RFC8419]. For
convenience, the ECDSA with SHA-256 algorithm identifier, the object
identifier for the well-known NIST P-256 elliptic curve, and the
Ed25519 algorithm identifier are repeated here:
ecdsa-with-SHA256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4)
ecdsa-with-SHA2(3) 2 }
-- Note: The NIST P-256 elliptic curve is also known as secp256r1.
secp256r1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) curves(3)
prime(1) 7 }
id-Ed25519 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) identified-organization(3) thawte(101) 112 }
4.2. Encrypted Messages
When generating an encrypted message, sending UAs MUST follow the
conventions specified in [RFC8551] for the application/pkcs7-mime
media type with smime-type=auth-enveloped-data. When decrypting a
received message, receiving UAs MUST follow the conventions specified
in [RFC8551] for the application/pkcs7-mime media type with
smime-type=auth-enveloped-data.
Sending and receiving UAs MUST support the AES-128-GCM algorithm for
content encryption [RFC5084]. For convenience, the AES-128-GCM
algorithm identifier is repeated here:
id-aes128-GCM OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101)
csor(3) nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1) 6 }
Sending and receiving UAs MAY support other content-authenticated
encryption algorithms.
Sending and receiving UAs MUST support the AES-128-WRAP algorithm for
encryption of one AES key with another AES key [RFC3565]. For
convenience, the AES-128-WRAP algorithm identifier is repeated here:
id-aes128-wrap OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101)
csor(3) nistAlgorithm(4) aes(1) 5 }
Sending and receiving UAs MAY support other key-encryption
algorithms.
Symmetric key-encryption keys can be distributed before messages are
sent. If sending and receiving UAs support previously distributed
key-encryption keys, then they MUST assign a KEKIdentifier [RFC5652]
to the previously distributed symmetric key.
Alternatively, a key agreement algorithm can be used to establish a
single-use key-encryption key. If sending and receiving UAs support
key agreement, then they MUST support the Elliptic Curve
Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) algorithm using the NIST P-256 elliptic curve
and the ANSI-X9.63-KDF key derivation function with the SHA-256
message digest algorithm [RFC5753]. If sending and receiving UAs
support key agreement, then they SHOULD support the ECDH algorithm
using curve25519 (X25519) [RFC7748] [RFC8418]. For convenience,
(1) the identifier for the ECDH algorithm using the ANSI-X9.63-KDF
with the SHA-256 algorithm and (2) the identifier for the X25519
algorithm are repeated here:
dhSinglePass-stdDH-sha256kdf-scheme OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) identified-organization(3) certicom(132)
schemes(1) 11 1 }
id-X25519 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
iso(1) identified-organization(3) thawte(101) 110 }
4.3. Signed and Encrypted Messages
RFC 3261, Section 23.2 says that when a User Agent Client (UAC) sends
signed and encrypted data, it "SHOULD" send an EnvelopedData object
encapsulated within a SignedData message. That essentially says that
one should encrypt first, then sign. This document updates RFC 3261
to say that, when sending signed and encrypted user content in a SIP
MESSAGE request, the sending UAs MUST sign the message first, and
then encrypt it. That is, it must send the SignedData object inside
an AuthEnvelopedData object. For interoperability reasons,
recipients SHOULD accept messages signed and encrypted in either
order.
4.4. Certificate Handling
Sending and receiving UAs MUST follow the S/MIME certificate-handling
procedures [RFC8550], with a few exceptions detailed below.
4.4.1. Subject Alternative Name
In both SIP and MSRP, the identity of the sender of a message is
typically expressed as a SIP URI.
The subject alternative name extension is used as the preferred means
to convey the SIP URI of the subject of a certificate. Any SIP URI
present MUST be encoded using the uniformResourceIdentifier CHOICE of
the GeneralName type as described in [RFC5280], Section 4.2.1.6.
Since the SubjectAltName type is a SEQUENCE OF GeneralName, multiple
URIs MAY be present.
Other methods of identifying a certificate subject MAY be used.
4.4.2. Certificate Validation
When validating a certificate, receiving UAs MUST support the ECDSA
using the NIST P-256 elliptic curve and the SHA-256 message digest
algorithm [RFC5480].
Sending and receiving UAs MAY support other digital signature
algorithms for certificate validation.
5. Transfer Encoding
SIP and MSRP UAs are always capable of receiving binary data. Inner
S/MIME entities do not require base64 encoding [RFC4648].
Both SIP and MSRP provide 8-bit safe transport channels; base64
encoding is not generally needed for the outer S/MIME entities.
However, if there is a chance a message might cross a 7-bit transport
(for example, gateways that convert to a 7-bit transport for
intermediate transfer), base64 encoding may be needed for the outer
entity.
6. User Agent Capabilities
Messaging UAs may implement a subset of S/MIME capabilities. Even
when implemented, some features may not be available due to
configuration. For example, UAs that do not have user certificates
cannot sign messages on behalf of the user or decrypt encrypted
messages sent to the user. At a minimum, a UA that supports S/MIME
MUST be able to validate a signed message.
End-user certificates have long been a barrier to large-scale S/MIME
deployment. But since UAs can validate signatures even without local
certificates, the use case of organizations sending secure
notifications to their users becomes a sort of "low-hanging fruit".
That being said, the signed-notification use case still requires
shared trust anchors.
SIP and MSRP UAs advertise their level of support for S/MIME by
indicating their capability to receive the "application/pkcs7-mime"
media type.
The fact that a UA indicates support for the "multipart/signed" media
type does not necessarily imply support for S/MIME. The UA might
just be able to display clear-signed content without validating the
signature. UAs that wish to indicate the ability to validate
signatures for clear-signed messages MUST also indicate support for
"application/pkcs7-signature".
A UA can indicate that it can receive all smime-types by advertising
"application/pkcs7-mime" with no parameters. If a UA does not accept
all smime-types, it advertises the media type with the appropriate
parameters. If more than one smime-type is supported, the UA
includes a separate instance of the media-type string, appropriately
parameterized, for each.
For example, a UA that can only receive signed-data would advertise
"application/pkcs7-mime; smime-type=signed-data".
SIP signaling can fork to multiple destinations for a given Address
of Record (AoR). A user might have multiple UAs with different
capabilities; the capabilities remembered from an interaction with
one such UA might not apply to another. (See Section 7.2.)
UAs can also advertise or discover S/MIME using out-of-band
mechanisms. Such mechanisms are beyond the scope of this document.
7. Using S/MIME with the SIP MESSAGE Method
The use of S/MIME with the SIP MESSAGE method is described in
Section 11.3 of [RFC3428], and for SIP in general in Section 23 of
[RFC3261]. This section and its child sections offer clarifications
for the use of S/MIME with the SIP MESSAGE method, along with related
updates to RFCs 3261 and 3428.
7.1. Size Limit
SIP MESSAGE requests are typically limited to 1300 octets. That
limit applies to the entire message, including both SIP header fields
and the message content. This is due to the potential for
fragmentation of larger requests sent over UDP. In general, it is
hard to be sure that no proxy or other intermediary will forward a
SIP request over UDP somewhere along the path. Therefore, S/MIME
messages sent using the SIP MESSAGE method should be kept as small as
possible. Messages that will not fit within the limit can be sent
using MSRP.
Section 23.2 of [RFC3261] requires that a SignedData message contain
a certificate to be used to validate the signature. In order to
reduce the message size, this document updates that text to say that
a SignedData message sent in a SIP MESSAGE request SHOULD contain the
certificate but MAY omit it if the sender has reason to believe that
the recipient (1) already has the certificate in its keychain or
(2) has some other method of accessing the certificate.
7.2. SIP User Agent Capabilities
SIP UAs can theoretically indicate support for S/MIME by including
the appropriate media type or types in the SIP Accept header field in
a response to an OPTIONS request, or in a 415 (Unsupported Media
Type) response to a SIP request that contained an unsupported media
type in the body. Unfortunately, this approach may not be reliable
in the general case. In the case where a downstream SIP proxy forks
an OPTIONS or other non-INVITE request to multiple User Agent Servers
(UASs), that proxy will only forward the "best" response. If the
recipient has multiple devices, the sender may only learn the
capabilities of the device that sent the forwarded response. Blindly
trusting this information could result in S/MIME messages being sent
to UAs that do not support it, which would be at best confusing and
at worst misleading to the recipient.
UAs might be able to use the UA capabilities framework [RFC3840] to
indicate support. However, doing so would require the registration
of one or more media feature tags with IANA.
UAs MAY use other out-of-band methods to indicate their level of
support for S/MIME.
7.3. Failure Cases
Section 23.2 of [RFC3261] requires that the recipient of a SIP
request that includes a body part of an unsupported media type and a
Content-Disposition header field "handling" parameter of "required"
return a 415 (Unsupported Media Type) response. Given that SIP
MESSAGE exists for no reason other than to deliver content in the
body, it is reasonable to treat the top-level body part as always
required. However, [RFC3428] makes no such assertion. This document
updates Section 11.3 of [RFC3428] to add the statement that a UAC
that receives a SIP MESSAGE request with an unsupported media type
MUST return a 415 response.
Section 23.2 of [RFC3261] says that if a recipient receives an S/MIME
body encrypted to the wrong certificate, it MUST return a SIP 493
(Undecipherable) response and SHOULD send a valid certificate in that
response. This is not always possible in practice for SIP MESSAGE
requests. The UAS may choose not to decrypt a message until the user
is ready to read it. Messages may be delivered to a message store or
sent via a store-and-forward service. This document updates RFC 3261
to say that the UAS SHOULD return a SIP 493 response if it
immediately attempts to decrypt the message and determines that the
message was encrypted to the wrong certificate. However, it MAY
return a 200-class response if decryption is deferred.
8. Using S/MIME with MSRP
MSRP has features that interact with the use of S/MIME. In
particular, the ability to send messages in chunks, the ability to
send messages of unknown size, and the use of SDP to indicate
media-type support create considerations for the use of S/MIME.
8.1. Chunking
MSRP allows a message to be broken into "chunks" for transmission.
In this context, the term "message" refers to an entire message that
one user might send to another. A chunk is a fragment of that
message sent in a single MSRP SEND request. All of the chunks that
make up a particular message share the same Message-ID value.
The sending UA may break a message into chunks, which the receiving
UA will reassemble to form the complete message. Intermediaries such
as MSRP relays [RFC4976] might break chunks into smaller chunks or
might reassemble chunks into larger ones; therefore, the message
received by the recipient may be broken into a different number of
chunks than were sent by the recipient. Intermediaries might also
cause chunks to be received in a different order than sent.
The sender MUST apply any S/MIME operations to the whole message
prior to breaking it into chunks. Likewise, the receiver needs to
reassemble the message from its chunks prior to decrypting,
validating a signature, etc.
MSRP chunks are framed using an end-line. The end-line comprises
seven hyphens, a 64-bit random value taken from the start line, and a
continuation flag. MSRP requires the sending UA to scan data to be
sent in a specific chunk to ensure that the end-line does not
accidentally occur as part of the data. This scanning occurs on a
chunk rather than a whole message; consequently, it must occur after
the sender applies any S/MIME operations.
8.2. Streamed Data
MSRP allows a mode of operation where a UA sends some chunks of a
message prior to knowing the full length of the message. For
example, a sender might send streamed data over MSRP as a single
message, even though it doesn't know the full length of that data in
advance. This mode is incompatible with S/MIME, since a sending UA
must apply S/MIME operations to the entire message in advance of
breaking it into chunks.
Therefore, when sending a message in an S/MIME format, the sender
MUST include the Byte-Range header field for every chunk, including
the first chunk. The Byte-Range header field MUST include the total
length of the message.
A higher layer could choose to break such streamed data into a series
of messages prior to applying S/MIME operations, so that each
fragment appears as a distinct (separate) S/MIME message in MSRP.
Such mechanisms are beyond the scope of this document.
8.3. Indicating Support for S/MIME
A UA that supports this specification MUST explicitly include the
appropriate media type or types in the "accept-types" attribute in
any SDP offer or answer that proposes MSRP. It MAY indicate that it
requires S/MIME wrappers for all messages by putting appropriate
S/MIME media types in the "accept-types" attribute and putting all
other supported media types in the "accept-wrapped-types" attribute.
For backwards compatibility, a sender MAY treat a peer that includes
an asterisk ("*") in the "accept-types" attribute as potentially
supporting S/MIME. If the peer returns an MSRP 415 (MIME type not
understood) response to an attempt to send an S/MIME message, the
sender should treat the peer as not supporting S/MIME for the
duration of the session, as indicated in Section 7.3.1 of [RFC4975].
While these SDP attributes allow an endpoint to express support for
certain media types only when wrapped in a specified envelope type,
it does not allow the expression of more complex structures. For
example, an endpoint can say that it supports text/plain and
text/html, but only when inside an application/pkcs7 or message/cpim
container, but it cannot express a requirement for the leaf types to
always be contained in an application/pkcs7 container nested inside a
message/cpim container. This has implications for the use of S/MIME
with the message/cpim format. (See Section 9.1.)
MSRP allows multiple reporting modes that provide different levels of
feedback. If the sender includes a Failure-Report header field with
a value of "no", it will not receive failure reports. This mode
should not be used carelessly, since such a sender would never see a
415 response as described above and would have no way to learn that
the recipient could not process an S/MIME body.
8.4. MSRP URIs
MSRP URIs are ephemeral. Endpoints MUST NOT use MSRP URIs to
identify certificates or insert MSRP URIs into certificate Subject
Alternative Name fields. When MSRP sessions are negotiated using SIP
[RFC3261], the SIP AoRs of the peers are used instead.
Note that MSRP allows messages to be sent between peers in either
direction. A given MSRP message might be sent from the SIP offerer
to the SIP answerer. Thus, the sender and recipient roles may
reverse between one message and another in a given session.
8.5. Failure Cases
Successful delivery of an S/MIME message does not indicate that the
recipient successfully decrypted the contents or validated a
signature. Decryption and/or validation may not occur immediately on
receipt, since the recipient may not immediately view the message,
and the UA may choose not to attempt decryption or validation until
the user requests it.
Likewise, successful delivery of S/MIME enveloped data does not, on
its own, indicate that the recipient supports the enclosed media
type. If the peer only implicitly indicated support for the enclosed
media type through the use of a wildcard in the "accept-types" or
"accept-wrapped types" SDP attributes, it may not decrypt the message
in time to send a 415 response.
9. S/MIME Interaction with Other SIP Messaging Features
9.1. Common Profile for Instant Messaging
The Common Profile for Instant Messaging (CPIM) [RFC3860] defines an
abstract messaging service, with the goal of creating gateways
between different messaging protocols that could relay instant
messages without change. The SIP MESSAGE method and MSRP were
initially designed to map to the CPIM abstractions. However, at the
time of this writing, CPIM-compliant gateways have not been deployed.
To the authors' knowledge, no other IM protocols have been explicitly
mapped to CPIM.
CPIM also defines the abstract messaging URI scheme "im:". As of the
time of this writing, the "im:" scheme is not in common use.
The CPIM message format [RFC3862] allows UAs to attach
transport-neutral metadata to arbitrary MIME content. The format was
designed as a canonicalization format to allow signed data to cross
protocol-converting gateways without loss of metadata needed to
verify the signature. While it has not typically been used for that
purpose, it has been used for other metadata applications -- for
example, IMDNs [RFC5438] and MSRP multi-party chat [RFC7701].
In the general case, a sender applies end-to-end signature and
encryption operations to the entire MIME body. However, some
messaging systems expect to inspect and in some cases add or modify
metadata in CPIM header fields. For example, CPM-based and RCS-based
services include application servers that may need to insert
timestamps into chat messages and may use additional metadata to
characterize the content and purpose of a message to determine
application behavior. The former will cause validation failure for
signatures that cover CPIM metadata, while the latter is not possible
if the metadata is encrypted. Clients intended for use in such
networks MAY choose to apply end-to-end signatures and encryption
operations to only the CPIM payload, leaving the CPIM metadata
unprotected from inspection and modification. UAs that support
S/MIME and CPIM SHOULD be able to validate signatures and decrypt
enveloped data both (1) when those operations are applied to the
entire CPIM body and (2) when they are applied to just the CPIM
payload. This means that the receiver needs to be flexible in its
MIME document parsing and that it cannot make assumptions that
S/MIME-protected body parts will always be in the same position or
level in the message payload.
If such clients need to encrypt or sign CPIM metadata end to end,
they can nest a protected CPIM message format payload inside an
unprotected CPIM message envelope.
The use of CPIM metadata fields to identify certificates or to
authenticate SIP or MSRP header fields is out of scope for this
document.
9.2. Instant Message Disposition Notifications
The IMDN mechanism [RFC5438] allows both endpoints and intermediary
application servers to request and to generate delivery
notifications. The use of S/MIME does not impact strictly end-to-end
use of IMDNs. The IMDN mechanism recommends that devices that are
capable of doing so sign delivery notifications. It further requires
that delivery notifications that result from encrypted messages also
be encrypted.
However, the IMDN mechanism allows intermediary application servers
to insert notification requests into messages, to add routing
information to messages, and to act on notification requests. It
also allows list servers to aggregate delivery notifications.
Such intermediaries will be unable to read end-to-end encrypted
messages in order to interpret delivery notice requests.
Intermediaries that insert information into end-to-end signed
messages will cause the signature validation to fail. (See
Section 9.1.)
10. Examples
The following sections show examples of S/MIME messages in SIP and
MSRP. The examples include the tags "[start-hex]" and "[end-hex]" to
denote binary content shown in hexadecimal. The tags are not part of
the actual message and do not count towards the Content-Length header
field values.
In all of these examples, the cleartext message is the string
"Watson, come here - I want to see you." followed by a newline
character.
The cast of characters includes Alice, with a SIP AoR of
"alice@example.com", and Bob, with a SIP AoR of "bob@example.org".
Appendix A shows the detailed content of each S/MIME body.
10.1. Signed Message in SIP including the Sender's Certificate
Figure 1 shows a message signed by Alice. This body uses the
"application/pkcs7-mime" media type with an smime-type parameter
value of "signed-data".
The S/MIME body includes Alice's signing certificate. Even though
the original message content is fairly short and only minimal SIP
header fields are included, the total message size approaches the
maximum allowed for the SIP MESSAGE method unless the UAC has advance
knowledge that all SIP hops will use congestion-controlled transport
protocols. A message that included all the SIP header fields that
are commonly in use in some SIP deployments would likely exceed the
limit.

Figure 4: Signed, Encrypted, and Chunked MSRP Message
11. IANA Considerations
This document has no IANA actions.
12. Security Considerations
The security considerations for S/MIME [RFC8550] [RFC8551] and
elliptic curves in CMS [RFC5753] apply. The S/MIME-related security
considerations for SIP [RFC3261], SIP MESSAGE [RFC3428], and MSRP
[RFC4975] apply.
The security considerations for algorithms recommended in this
document also apply; see [RFC3565], [RFC5480], [RFC5753], [RFC5754],
[RFC7748], [RFC8032], [RFC8418], and [RFC8419].
This document assumes that end-entity certificate validation is
provided by a chain of trust to a certification authority (CA), using
a public key infrastructure. The security considerations from
[RFC5280] apply. However, other validations methods may be possible
-- for example, sending a signed fingerprint for the end entity in
SDP. The relationship between this work and the techniques discussed
in [RFC8224] and [RTP-Sec] are out of scope for this document.
When matching an end-entity certificate to the sender or recipient
identity, the respective SIP AoRs are used. Typically, these will
match the SIP From and To header fields. Some UAs may extract the
sender identity from SIP AoRs in other header fields -- for example,
P-Asserted-Identity [RFC3325]. In general, the UAS should compare
the certificate to the identity that it relies upon -- for example,
for display to the end user or comparison against message-filtering
rules.
The secure notification use case discussed in Section 1 has
significant vulnerabilities when used in an insecure environment.
For example, "phishing" messages could be used to trick users into
revealing credentials. Eavesdroppers could learn confirmation codes
from unprotected two-factor authentication messages. Unsolicited
messages sent by impersonators could tarnish the reputation of an
organization. While hop-by-hop protection can mitigate some of those
risks, it still leaves messages vulnerable to malicious or
compromised intermediaries. End-to-end protection prevents
modification by intermediaries. However, neither provides much
protection unless the recipient knows to expect messages from a
particular sender to be signed and refuses to accept unsigned
messages that appear to be from that source.
Mobile messaging is typically an online application; online
certificate revocation checks should usually be feasible.
S/MIME does not normally protect the SIP or MSRP headers. While it
normally does protect the CPIM header, certain CPIM header fields may
not be protected if the sender excludes them from the encrypted or
signed part of the message. (See Section 9.1.) Certain messaging
services -- for example, those based on RCS -- may include
intermediaries that attach metadata to user-generated messages in the
form of SIP, MSRP, or CPIM header fields. This metadata could
possibly reveal information to third parties that the sender might
prefer not to send as cleartext. Implementors and operators should
consider whether inserted metadata may create privacy leaks. Such an
analysis is beyond the scope of this document.
MSRP messages broken into chunks must be reassembled by the recipient
prior to decrypting or validation of signatures. (See Section 8.1.)
Section 14.5 of [RFC4975] describes a potential denial-of-service
attack where the attacker puts large values in the Byte-Range header
field. Implementations should sanity-check these values before
allocating memory space for reassembly.
Modification of the ciphertext in EnvelopedData can go undetected if
authentication is not also used, which is the case when sending
EnvelopedData without wrapping it in SignedData or enclosing
SignedData within it. This is one of the reasons for moving from
EnvelopedData to AuthEnvelopedData, as the authenticated encryption
algorithms provide the authentication without needing the SignedData
layer.
An attack on S/MIME implementations of HTML and multipart/mixed
messages is highlighted in [Efail]. To avoid this attack, clients
MUST ensure that a text/html content type is a complete HTML
document. Clients SHOULD treat each of the different pieces of the
multipart/mixed construct as coming from different origins. Clients
MUST treat each encrypted or signed piece of a MIME message as being
from different origins both from unprotected content and from each
other.
