Third-Party Token-Based Authentication and Authorization for Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Abstract
This document defines the "Bearer" authentication scheme for the
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and a mechanism by which user
authentication and SIP registration authorization is delegated to a
third party, using the OAuth 2.0 framework and OpenID Connect Core
1.0. This document updates RFC 3261 to provide guidance on how a SIP
User Agent Client (UAC) responds to a SIP 401/407 response that
contains multiple WWW-Authenticate/Proxy-Authenticate header fields.

1. Introduction
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] uses the same
framework as HTTP [RFC7230] to authenticate users: a simple
challenge-response authentication mechanism that allows a SIP User
Agent Server (UAS), proxy, or registrar to challenge a SIP User Agent
Client (UAC) request and allows the UAC to provide authentication
information in response to that challenge.
OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] defines a token-based authorization framework to
allow an OAuth client to access resources on behalf of its user.
The OpenID Connect Core 1.0 specification [OPENID] defines a simple
identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol, which enables OAuth/
OpenID clients to verify the identity of the user based on the
authentication performed by a dedicated authorization server (AS),
referred to as OpenID Provider (OP), as well as to obtain basic
profile information about the user.
This document defines the "Bearer" authentication scheme for SIP and
a mechanism by which user authentication and SIP registration
authorization is delegated to a third party, using the OAuth 2.0
framework and OpenID Connect Core 1.0. This kind of user
authentication enables single sign-on, which allows the user to
authenticate once and gain access to both SIP and non-SIP services.
This document also updates [RFC3261] by defining the UAC procedures
when a UAC receives a 401/407 response with multiple WWW-
Authenticate/Proxy-Authenticate header fields, providing challenges
using different authentication schemes for the same realm.
1.1. 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.
1.2. Applicability
This document covers cases where grants that allow the UAC to obtain
an access token from the AS are used. Cases where the UAC is not
able to obtain an access token (e.g., in the case of an authorization
code grant) are not covered.
1.3. Token Types and Formats
The tokens used in third-party authorization depend on the type of
AS.
An OAuth AS provides the following tokens to a successfully
authorized UAC:
Access Token:
The UAC will use this token to gain access to services by
providing the token to a SIP server.
Refresh Token:
The UAC will present this token to the AS to refresh a stale
access token.
An OP returns an additional token:
ID Token:
This token contains a SIP URI associated with the user and other
user-specific details that will be consumed by the UAC.
Tokens can be represented in two different formats:
Structured Token:
A token that consists of a structured object that contains the
claims associated with the token, e.g., JSON Web Token (JWT), as
defined in [RFC7519].
Reference Token:
A token that consists of an opaque string that is used to obtain
the details of the token and its associated claims, as defined in
[RFC6749].
Access tokens are represented in one of the above two formats.
Refresh tokens usually are represented in a reference format, as this
token is consumed only by the AS that issued the token. The ID token
is defined as a structured token in the form of a JWT.
1.4. Example Flows
1.4.1. Registration
Figure 1 below shows an example of a SIP registration where the
registrar informs the UAC about the AS from which the UAC can obtain
an access token.

Figure 1: Example Registration Flow
In step [1], the UAC starts the registration process by sending a SIP
REGISTER request to the registrar without any credentials.
In step [2], the registrar challenges the UA by sending a SIP 401
(Unauthorized) response to the REGISTER request. In the response,
the registrar includes information about the AS to contact in order
to obtain a token.
In step [3], the UAC interacts with the AS via an out-of-scope
mechanism, potentially using the OAuth Native App mechanism defined
in [RFC8252]. The AS authenticates the user and provides the UAC
with the tokens needed to access the SIP service.
In step [4], the UAC retries the registration process by sending a
new REGISTER request that includes the access token that the UAC
obtained in the step above.
The registrar validates the access token. If the access token is a
reference token, the registrar MAY perform an introspection
[RFC7662], as in steps [5] and [6], in order to obtain more
information about the access token and its scope, per [RFC7662].
Otherwise, after the registrar validates the token, it inspects its
claims and acts upon it.
In step [7], once the registrar has successfully verified and
accepted the access token, it sends a 200 (OK) response to the
REGISTER request.
1.4.2. Registration with Preconfigured AS
Figure 2 shows an example of a SIP registration where the UAC has
been preconfigured with information about the AS from which to obtain
the access token.

Figure 2: Example Registration Flow - AS Information Preconfigured
In step [1], the UAC interacts with the AS using an out-of-scope
mechanism, potentially using the OAuth Native App mechanism defined
in [RFC8252]. The AS authenticates the user and provides the UAC
with the tokens needed to access the SIP service.
In step [2], the UAC initiates the registration process by sending a
new REGISTER request that includes the access token that the UAC
obtained in the step above.
The registrar validates the access token. If the access token is a
reference token, the registrar MAY perform an introspection
[RFC7662], as in steps [4] and [5], in order to obtain more
information about the access token and its scope, per [RFC7662].
Otherwise, after the registrar validates the token, it inspects its
claims and acts upon it.
In step [5], once the registrar has successfully verified and
accepted the access token, it sends a 200 (OK) response to the
REGISTER request.
2. SIP Procedures
Section 22 of [RFC3261] defines the SIP procedures for the Digest
authentication mechanism. The same procedures apply to the "Bearer"
authentication mechanism, with the changes described in this section.
2.1. UAC Behavior
2.1.1. Obtaining Tokens and Responding to Challenges
When a UAC sends a request without credentials (or with invalid
credentials), it could receive either a 401 (Unauthorized) response
with a WWW-Authenticate header field or a 407 (Proxy Authentication
Required) response with a Proxy-Authenticate header field. If the
WWW-Authenticate or Proxy-Authenticate header field indicates
"Bearer" scheme authentication and contains an address to an AS, the
UAC contacts the AS in order to obtain tokens and includes the
requested scopes, based on a local configuration (Figure 1). The UAC
MUST check the AS URL received in the 401/407 response against a list
of trusted ASs configured on the UAC in order to prevent several
classes of possible vulnerabilities when a client blindly attempts to
use any provided AS.
The detailed OAuth2 procedure to authenticate the user and obtain
these tokens is out of scope of this document. The address of the AS
might already be known to the UAC via configuration. In such cases,
the UAC can contact the AS for tokens before it sends a SIP request
(Figure 2). Procedures for native applications are defined in
[RFC8252]. When using the mechanism defined in [RFC8252], the user
of the UAC will be directed to interact with the AS using a web
browser, which allows the AS to prompt the user for multi-factor
authentication, to redirect the user to third-party identity
providers, and to enable the use of single sign-on sessions.
The tokens returned to the UAC depend on the type of AS; an OAuth AS
provides an access token and, optionally, a refresh token [RFC6749].
The refresh token is only used between the UAC and the AS. If the AS
provides a refresh token to the UAC, the UAC uses it to request a new
access token from the AS before the currently used access token
expires ([RFC6749], Section 1.5). If the AS does not provide a
refresh token, the UAC needs to reauthenticate the user in order to
get a new access token before the currently used access token
expires. An OP returns an additional ID token that contains claims
about the authentication of the user by an authorization server. The
ID token can potentially include other optional claims about the
user, e.g., the SIP URI, that will be consumed by the UAC and later
used to register with the registrar.
If the UAC receives a 401/407 response with multiple WWW-
Authenticate/Proxy-Authenticate header fields, providing challenges
using different authentication schemes for the same realm, the UAC
provides credentials for one of the schemes that it supports, based
on local policy.
| NOTE: At the time of writing, detailed procedures for the cases
| where a UAC receives multiple different authentication schemes
| had not been defined. A future specification might define such
| procedures.
| NOTE: The address of the AS might be known to the UAC, e.g.,
| using means of configuration, in which case the UAC can contact
| the AS in order to obtain the access token before it sends SIP
| request without credentials.
2.1.2. Protecting the Access Token
[RFC6749] mandates that access tokens are protected with TLS when in
transit. However, SIP makes use of intermediary SIP proxies, and TLS
only guarantees hop-to-hop protection when used to protect SIP
signaling. Therefore, the access token MUST be protected in a way so
that only authorized SIP servers will have access to it. SIP
endpoints that support this document MUST use encrypted JWTs
[RFC7519] for encoding and protecting access tokens when they are
included in SIP requests, unless some other mechanism is used to
guarantee that only authorized SIP endpoints have access to the
access token. TLS can still be used for protecting traffic between
SIP endpoints and the AS, as defined in [RFC6749].
2.1.3. REGISTER Request
The procedures in this section apply when the UAC has received a
challenge that contains a "Bearer" scheme and the UAC has obtained a
token, as specified in Section 2.1.1.
The UAC sends a REGISTER request with an Authorization header field
containing the response to the challenge, including the "Bearer"
scheme carrying a valid access token in the request, as specified in
[RFC6750].
Note that if there were multiple challenges with different schemes,
then the UAC may be able to successfully retry the request using
non-"Bearer" credentials.
Typically, a UAC will obtain a new access token for each new binding.
However, based on local policy, a UAC MAY include an access token
that has been used for another binding associated with the same
Address Of Record (AOR) in the request.
If the access token included in a REGISTER request is not accepted
and the UAC receives a 401 response or a 407 response, the UAC
follows the procedures in Section 2.1.1.
2.1.4. Non-REGISTER Request
The procedures in this section apply when the UAC has received a
challenge that contains a "Bearer" scheme and the UAC has obtained a
token, as specified in Section 2.1.1.
When the UAC sends a request, it MUST include an Authorization header
field with a "Bearer" scheme carrying a valid access token obtained
from the AS indicated in the challenge in the request, as specified
in [RFC6750]. Based on local policy, the UAC MAY include an access
token that has been used for another dialog, or for another stand-
alone request, if the target of the new request is the same.
If the access token included in a request is not accepted and the UAC
receives a 401 response or a 407 response, the UAC follows the
procedures in Section 2.1.1.
2.2. User Agent Server (UAS) and Registrar Behavior
When a UAS or registrar receives a request that fails to contain
authorization credentials acceptable to it, the UAS/registrar SHOULD
challenge the request by sending a 401 (Unauthorized) response. If
the UAS/registrar chooses to challenge the request and is willing to
accept an access token as a credential, it MUST include a WWW-
Authenticate header field in the response that indicates a "Bearer"
scheme and includes an AS address, encoded as an https URI [RFC7230],
from which the UAC can obtain an access token.
When a UAS or registrar receives a SIP request that contains an
Authorization header field with an access token, the UAS/registrar
MUST validate the access token using the procedures associated with
the type of access token (structured or reference) used, e.g.,
[RFC7519]. If the token provided is an expired access token, then
the UAS/registrar MUST reply with a 401 (Unauthorized) response, as
defined in Section 3 of [RFC6750]. If the validation is successful,
the UAS/registrar can continue to process the request using normal
SIP procedures. If the validation fails, the UAS/registrar MUST
reply with a 401 (Unauthorized) response.
2.3. Proxy Behavior
When a proxy receives a request that fails to contain authorization
credentials acceptable to it, it SHOULD challenge the request by
sending a 407 (Proxy Authentication Required) response. If the proxy
chooses to challenge the request and is willing to accept an access
token as a credential, it MUST include a Proxy-Authenticate header
field in the response that indicates a "Bearer" scheme and includes
an AS address, encoded as an https URI [RFC7230], from which the UAC
can obtain an access token.
When a proxy wishes to authenticate a received request, it MUST
search the request for Proxy-Authorization header fields with 'realm'
parameters that match its realm. It then MUST successfully validate
the credentials from at least one Proxy-Authorization header field
for its realm. When the scheme is "Bearer", the proxy MUST validate
the access token using the procedures associated with the type of
access token (structured or reference) used, e.g., [RFC7519].
3. Access Token Claims
The type of services to which an access token grants access can be
determined using different methods. The methods used and the access
provided by the token are based on local policy agreed between the AS
and the registrar.
If an access token is encoded as a JWT, it will contain a list of
claims [RFC7519], including both registered and application-specific
claims. The registrar can grant access to services based on such
claims, some other mechanism, or a combination of claims and some
other mechanism. If an access token is a reference token, the
registrar will grant access based on some other mechanism. Examples
of such other mechanisms are introspection [RFC7662] and user profile
lookups.
4. WWW-Authenticate Response Header Field
This section uses ABNF [RFC5234] to describe the syntax of the WWW-
Authenticate header field when used with the "Bearer" scheme to
challenge the UAC for credentials by extending the 'challenge'
parameter defined by [RFC3261].
challenge =/ ("Bearer" LWS bearer-cln *(COMMA bearer-cln))
bearer-cln = realm / scope-param / authz-server-param / error-param /
auth-param
realm = <defined in RFC 3261>
scope-param = "scope" EQUAL DQUOTE scope DQUOTE
scope = <defined in RFC 6749>
authz-server-param = "authz_server" EQUAL DQUOTE authz-server DQUOTE
authz-server = https-URI
https-URI = <defined in RFC 7230>
error-param = "error" EQUAL DQUOTE error DQUOTE
error = <defined in RFC 6749>
auth-param = <defined in RFC 3261>
Figure 3: "Bearer" Scheme Syntax
The authz_server parameter contains the HTTPS URI, as defined in
[RFC7230], of the AS. The UAC can discover metadata about the AS
using a mechanism like the one defined in [RFC8414].
The realm and auth-param parameters are defined in [RFC3261].
Per [RFC3261], "the realm string alone defines the protection
domain". [RFC3261] states that the realm string must be globally
unique and recommends that the realm string contain a hostname or
domain name. It also states that the realm string should be a human-
readable identifier that can be rendered to the user.
The scope and error parameters are defined in [RFC6749].
The scope parameter can be used by the registrar/proxy to indicate to
the UAC the minimum scope that must be associated with the access
token to be able to get service. As defined in [RFC6749], the value
of the scope parameter is expressed as a list of space-delimited,
case-sensitive strings. The strings are defined by the AS. The
values of the scope parameter are out of scope of this document. The
UAC will use the scope provided by the registrar to contact the AS
and obtain a proper token with the requested scope.
The error parameter could be used by the registrar/proxy to indicate
to the UAC the reason for the error, with possible values of
"invalid_token" or "invalid_scope".
5. Security Considerations
The security considerations for OAuth are defined in [RFC6749]. The
security considerations for "Bearer" tokens are defined in [RFC6750].
The security considerations for JWTs are defined in [RFC7519]. These
security considerations also apply to SIP usage of access tokens, as
defined in this document.
[RFC6749] mandates that access tokens are protected with TLS when in
transit. However, SIP makes use of intermediary SIP proxies, and TLS
only guarantees hop-to-hop protection when used to protect SIP
signaling. Therefore, the access token MUST be protected in a way so
that only authorized SIP servers will have access to it. SIP
endpoints that support this document MUST use encrypted JWTs
[RFC7519] for encoding and protecting access tokens when they are
included in SIP requests, unless some other mechanism is used to
guarantee that only authorized SIP endpoints have access to the
access token. TLS can still be used for protecting traffic between
SIP endpoints and the AS, as defined in [RFC6749].
Single Sign-On (SSO) enables the user to use one set of credentials
to authenticate once and gain access to multiple SIP and non-SIP
services using access token(s). If the SSO login is compromised,
that single point of compromise has a much broader effect than is the
case without SSO. Further, an attacker can often use a compromised
account to set up Single Sign-On for other services that the victim
has not established an account with and sometimes can even switch a
dedicated account into SSO mode, creating a still broader attack.
Because of that, it is critical to make sure that extra security
measures be taken to safeguard credentials used for Single Sign-On.
Examples of such measures include a long passphrase instead of a
password, enabling multi-factor authentication, and the use of the
native platform browser when possible, as defined in [RFC8252].
Although this is out of scope for this document, it is important to
carefully consider the claims provided in the tokens used to access
these services to make sure of the privacy of the user accessing
these services. As mentioned above, this document calls for
encrypting JWTs representing the access token.
It is important that both parties participating in SSO provide
mechanisms for users to sever the SSO relationship so that it is
possible without undue difficulty to mitigate a compromise that has
already happened.
The operator of an SSO authentication system has access to private
information about sites and services that their users log into and
even, to some extent, their usage patterns. It's important to call
these out in privacy disclosures and policies and to make sure that
users can be aware of the trade-offs between convenience and privacy
when they choose to use SSO.
When a registrar chooses to challenge a REGISTER request, if the
registrar can provide access to different levels of services, it is
RECOMMENDED that the registrar include a scope in the response in
order to indicate the minimum scope needed to register and access
basic services. The access token might include an extended scope
that gives the user access to more advanced features beyond basic
services. In SIP, the AS administrator will typically decide what
level of access is provided for a given user.
The UAC MUST check the AS URL received in the 401/407 response
against a list of trusted ASs configured on the UAC in order to
prevent several classes of possible vulnerabilities when a client
blindly attempts to use any provided AS.
