The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: JWT-Secured Authorization Request
                                 (JAR)

Abstract

   The authorization request in OAuth 2.0 described in RFC 6749 utilizes
   query parameter serialization, which means that authorization request
   parameters are encoded in the URI of the request and sent through
   user agents such as web browsers.  While it is easy to implement, it
   means that a) the communication through the user agents is not
   integrity protected and thus, the parameters can be tainted, b) the
   source of the communication is not authenticated, and c) the
   communication through the user agents can be monitored.  Because of
   these weaknesses, several attacks to the protocol have now been put
   forward.

   This document introduces the ability to send request parameters in a
   JSON Web Token (JWT) instead, which allows the request to be signed
   with JSON Web Signature (JWS) and encrypted with JSON Web Encryption
   (JWE) so that the integrity, source authentication, and
   confidentiality properties of the authorization request are attained.
   The request can be sent by value or by reference.

1.  Introduction

   The authorization request in OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] utilizes query
   parameter serialization and is typically sent through user agents
   such as web browsers.

   For example, the parameters "response_type", "client_id", "state",
   and "redirect_uri" are encoded in the URI of the request:

       GET /authorize?response_type=code&client_id=s6BhdRkqt3&state=xyz
       &redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fclient%2Eexample%2Ecom%2Fcb HTTP/1.1
       Host: server.example.com

   While it is easy to implement, the encoding in the URI does not allow
   application-layer security to be used to provide confidentiality and
   integrity protection.  While TLS is used to offer communication
   security between the client and the user agent as well as the user
   agent and the authorization server, TLS sessions are terminated in
   the user agent.  In addition, TLS sessions may be terminated
   prematurely at some middlebox (such as a load balancer).

   As a result, the authorization request of [RFC6749] has shortcomings
   in that:

   (a)  the communication through the user agents is not integrity
        protected, and thus, the parameters can be tainted (integrity
        protection failure);

   (b)  the source of the communication is not authenticated (source
        authentication failure);

   (c)  the communication through the user agents can be monitored
        (containment/confidentiality failure).

   Due to these inherent weaknesses, several attacks against the
   protocol, such as redirection URI rewriting, have been identified.

   The use of application-layer security mitigates these issues.

   The use of application-layer security allows requests to be prepared
   by a trusted third party so that a client application cannot request
   more permissions than previously agreed upon.

   Furthermore, passing the request by reference allows the reduction of
   over-the-wire overhead.

   The JWT [RFC7519] encoding has been chosen because of:

   (1)  its close relationship with JSON, which is used as OAuth's
        response format

   (2)  its developer friendliness due to its textual nature

   (3)  its relative compactness compared to XML

   (4)  its development status as a Proposed Standard, along with the
        associated signing and encryption methods [RFC7515] [RFC7516]

   (5)  the relative ease of JWS and JWE compared to XML Signature and
        Encryption.

   The parameters "request" and "request_uri" are introduced as
   additional authorization request parameters for the OAuth 2.0
   [RFC6749] flows.  The "request" parameter is a JSON Web Token (JWT)
   [RFC7519] whose JWT Claims Set holds the JSON-encoded OAuth 2.0
   authorization request parameters.  Note that, in contrast to RFC
   7519, the elements of the Claims Set are encoded OAuth request
   parameters [IANA.OAuth.Parameters], supplemented with only a few of
   the IANA-managed JSON Web Token Claims [IANA.JWT.Claims], in
   particular, "iss" and "aud".  The JWT in the "request" parameter is
   integrity protected and source authenticated using JWS.

   The JWT [RFC7519] can be passed to the authorization endpoint by
   reference, in which case the parameter "request_uri" is used instead
   of "request".

   Using JWT [RFC7519] as the request encoding instead of query
   parameters has several advantages:

   (a)  Integrity protection.  The request can be signed so that the
        integrity of the request can be checked.

   (b)  Source authentication.  The request can be signed so that the
        signer can be authenticated.

   (c)  Confidentiality protection.  The request can be encrypted so
        that end-to-end confidentiality can be provided even if the TLS
        connection is terminated at one point or another (including at
        and before user agents).

   (d)  Collection minimization.  The request can be signed by a trusted
        third party attesting that the authorization request is
        compliant with a certain policy.  For example, a request can be
        pre-examined by a trusted third party to confirm that all the
        personal data requested is strictly necessary to perform the
        process that the end user asked for; the request would then be
        signed by that trusted third party.  The authorization server
        then examines the signature and shows the conformance status to
        the end user who would have some assurance as to the legitimacy
        of the request when authorizing it.  In some cases, it may even
        be desirable to skip the authorization dialogue under such
        circumstances.

   There are a few cases where request by reference is useful, such as:

   1.  when it is desirable to reduce the size of a transmitted request.
       The use of application-layer security increases the size of the
       request particularly when public-key cryptography is used.

   2.  when the client does not want to do the application-level
       cryptography.  The authorization server may provide an endpoint
       to accept the authorization request through direct communication
       with the client, so that the client is authenticated and the
       channel is TLS protected.

   This capability is in use by OpenID Connect [OpenID.Core].

1.1.  Requirements Language

   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.

2.  Terminology

   For the purposes of this specification, the following terms and
   definitions apply in addition to what is defined in OAuth 2.0
   Framework [RFC6749], JSON Web Signature [RFC7515], and JSON Web
   Encryption [RFC7516].

2.1.  Request Object

   A Request Object is a JSON Web Token (JWT) [RFC7519] whose JWT Claims
   Set holds the JSON-encoded OAuth 2.0 authorization request
   parameters.

2.2.  Request Object URI

   A Request Object URI is an absolute URI that references the set of
   parameters comprising an OAuth 2.0 authorization request.  The
   content of the resource referenced by the URI is a Request Object
   (Section 2.1), unless the URI was provided to the client by the same
   authorization server, in which case the content is an implementation
   detail at the discretion of the authorization server.  The content
   being a Request Object is to ensure interoperability in cases where
   the provider of the "request_uri" is a separate entity from the
   consumer, such as when a client provides a URI referencing a Request
   Object stored on the client's backend service that is made accessible
   via HTTPS.  In the latter case, where the authorization server is
   both provider and consumer of the URI, such as when it offers an
   endpoint that provides a URI in exchange for a Request Object, this
   interoperability concern does not apply.

3.  Symbols and Abbreviated Terms

   The following abbreviations are common to this specification.

   JSON:  JavaScript Object Notation

   JWT:  JSON Web Token

   JWS:  JSON Web Signature

   JWE:  JSON Web Encryption

   URI:  Uniform Resource Identifier

   URL:  Uniform Resource Locator

4.  Request Object

   A Request Object (Section 2.1) is used to provide authorization
   request parameters for an OAuth 2.0 authorization request.  It MUST
   contain all the parameters (including extension parameters) used to
   process the OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] authorization request except the
   "request" and "request_uri" parameters that are defined in this
   document.  The parameters are represented as the JWT Claims of the
   object.  Parameter names and string values MUST be included as JSON
   strings.  Since Request Objects are handled across domains and
   potentially outside of a closed ecosystem, per Section 8.1 of
   [RFC8259], these JSON strings MUST be encoded using UTF-8 [RFC3629].
   Numerical values MUST be included as JSON numbers.  The Request
   Object MAY include any extension parameters.  This JSON [RFC8259]
   object constitutes the JWT Claims Set defined in JWT [RFC7519].  The
   JWT Claims Set is then signed or signed and encrypted.

   To sign, JSON Web Signature (JWS) [RFC7515] is used.  The result is a
   JWS-signed JWT [RFC7519].  If signed, the Authorization Request
   Object SHOULD contain the Claims "iss" (issuer) and "aud" (audience)
   as members with their semantics being the same as defined in the JWT
   [RFC7519] specification.  The value of "aud" should be the value of
   the authorization server (AS) "issuer", as defined in RFC 8414
   [RFC8414].

   To encrypt, JWE [RFC7516] is used.  When both signature and
   encryption are being applied, the JWT MUST be signed, then encrypted,
   as described in Section 11.2 of [RFC7519].  The result is a Nested
   JWT, as defined in [RFC7519].

   The client determines the algorithms used to sign and encrypt Request
   Objects.  The algorithms chosen need to be supported by both the
   client and the authorization server.  The client can inform the
   authorization server of the algorithms that it supports in its
   dynamic client registration metadata [RFC7591], specifically, the
   metadata values "request_object_signing_alg",
   "request_object_encryption_alg", and "request_object_encryption_enc".
   Likewise, the authorization server can inform the client of the
   algorithms that it supports in its authorization server metadata
   [RFC8414], specifically, the metadata values
   "request_object_signing_alg_values_supported",
   "request_object_encryption_alg_values_supported", and
   "request_object_encryption_enc_values_supported".

   The Request Object MAY be sent by value, as described in Section 5.1,
   or by reference, as described in Section 5.2.  "request" and
   "request_uri" parameters MUST NOT be included in Request Objects.

   A Request Object (Section 2.1) has the media type [RFC2046]
   "application/oauth-authz-req+jwt".  Note that some existing
   deployments may alternatively be using the type "application/jwt".

   The following is an example of the Claims in a Request Object before
   base64url [RFC7515] encoding and signing.  Note that it includes the
   extension parameters "nonce" and "max_age".

     {
      "iss": "s6BhdRkqt3",
      "aud": "https://server.example.com",
      "response_type": "code id_token",
      "client_id": "s6BhdRkqt3",
      "redirect_uri": "https://client.example.org/cb",
      "scope": "openid",
      "state": "af0ifjsldkj",
      "nonce": "n-0S6_WzA2Mj",
      "max_age": 86400
     }

   Signing it with the "RS256" algorithm [RFC7518] results in this
   Request Object value (with line wraps within values for display
   purposes only):

      "e":"AQAB"
     }

5.  Authorization Request

   The client constructs the authorization request URI by adding the
   following parameters to the query component of the authorization
   endpoint URI using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format:

   request
      REQUIRED unless "request_uri" is specified.  The Request Object
      (Section 2.1) that holds authorization request parameters stated
      in Section 4 of [RFC6749] (OAuth 2.0).  If this parameter is
      present in the authorization request, "request_uri" MUST NOT be
      present.

   request_uri
      REQUIRED unless "request" is specified.  The absolute URI, as
      defined by RFC 3986 [RFC3986], that is the Request Object URI
      (Section 2.2) referencing the authorization request parameters
      stated in Section 4 of [RFC6749] (OAuth 2.0).  If this parameter
      is present in the authorization request, "request" MUST NOT be
      present.

   client_id
      REQUIRED.  OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] "client_id".  The value MUST match
      the "request" or "request_uri" Request Object's (Section 2.1)
      "client_id".

   The client directs the resource owner to the constructed URI using an
   HTTP redirection response or by other means available to it via the
   user agent.

   For example, the client directs the end user's user agent to make the
   following HTTPS request:

   GET /authz?client_id=s6BhdRkqt3&request=eyJhbG..AlMGzw HTTP/1.1
   Host: server.example.com

   The value for the request parameter is abbreviated for brevity.

   The Authorization Request Object MUST be one of the following:

   (a)  JWS signed

   (b)  JWS signed and JWE encrypted

   The client MAY send the parameters included in the Request Object
   duplicated in the query parameters as well for backward
   compatibility, etc.  However, the authorization server supporting
   this specification MUST only use the parameters included in the
   Request Object.

5.1.  Passing a Request Object by Value

   The client sends the authorization request as a Request Object to the
   authorization endpoint as the "request" parameter value.

   The following is an example of an authorization request using the
   "request" parameter (with line wraps within values for display
   purposes only):

     https://server.example.com/authorize?client_id=s6BhdRkqt3&

5.2.  Passing a Request Object by Reference

   The "request_uri" authorization request parameter enables OAuth
   authorization requests to be passed by reference rather than by
   value.  This parameter is used identically to the "request"
   parameter, except that the Request Object value is retrieved from the
   resource identified by the specified URI rather than passed by value.

   The entire Request URI SHOULD NOT exceed 512 ASCII characters.  There
   are two reasons for this restriction:

   1.  Many phones on the market as of this writing still do not accept
       large payloads.  The restriction is typically either 512 or 1024
       ASCII characters.

   2.  On a slow connection such as a 2G mobile connection, a large URL
       would cause a slow response; therefore, the use of such is not
       advisable from the user-experience point of view.

   The contents of the resource referenced by the "request_uri" MUST be
   a Request Object and MUST be reachable by the authorization server
   unless the URI was provided to the client by the authorization
   server.  In the first case, the "request_uri" MUST be an "https" URI,
   as specified in Section 2.7.2 of [RFC7230].  In the second case, it
   MUST be a URN, as specified in [RFC8141].

   The following is an example of the contents of a Request Object
   resource that can be referenced by a "request_uri" (with line wraps
   within values for display purposes only):

5.2.1.  URI Referencing the Request Object

   The client stores the Request Object resource either locally or
   remotely at a URI the authorization server can access.  Such a
   facility may be provided by the authorization server or a trusted
   third party.  For example, the authorization server may provide a URL
   to which the client POSTs the Request Object and obtains the Request
   URI.  This URI is the Request Object URI, "request_uri".

   It is possible for the Request Object to include values that are to
   be revealed only to the authorization server.  As such, the
   "request_uri" MUST have appropriate entropy for its lifetime so that
   the URI is not guessable if publicly retrievable.  For the guidance,
   refer to Section 5.1.4.2.2 of [RFC6819] and "Good Practices for
   Capability URLs" [CapURLs].  It is RECOMMENDED that the "request_uri"
   be removed after a reasonable timeout unless access control measures
   are taken.

   The following is an example of a Request Object URI value (with line
   wraps within values for display purposes only).  In this example, a
   trusted third-party service hosts the Request Object.

     https://tfp.example.org/request.jwt/
       GkurKxf5T0Y-mnPFCHqWOMiZi4VS138cQO_V7PZHAdM

5.2.2.  Request Using the "request_uri" Request Parameter

   The client sends the authorization request to the authorization
   endpoint.

   The following is an example of an authorization request using the
   "request_uri" parameter (with line wraps within values for display
   purposes only):

     https://server.example.com/authorize?
       client_id=s6BhdRkqt3
       &request_uri=https%3A%2F%2Ftfp.example.org%2Frequest.jwt
       %2FGkurKxf5T0Y-mnPFCHqWOMiZi4VS138cQO_V7PZHAdM

5.2.3.  Authorization Server Fetches Request Object

   Upon receipt of the Request, the authorization server MUST send an
   HTTP "GET" request to the "request_uri" to retrieve the referenced
   Request Object unless the Request Object is stored in a way so that
   the server can retrieve it through other mechanisms securely and
   parse it to recreate the authorization request parameters.

   The following is an example of this fetch process.  In this example,
   a trusted third-party service hosts the Request Object.

   GET /request.jwt/GkurKxf5T0Y-mnPFCHqWOMiZi4VS138cQO_V7PZHAdM HTTP/1.1
   Host: tfp.example.org

   The following is an example of the fetch response:

     HTTP/1.1 200 OK

6.  Validating JWT-Based Requests

6.1.  JWE Encrypted Request Object

   If the Request Object is encrypted, the authorization server MUST
   decrypt the JWT in accordance with the JSON Web Encryption [RFC7516]
   specification.

   The result is a signed Request Object.

   If decryption fails, the authorization server MUST return an
   "invalid_request_object" error to the client in response to the
   authorization request.

6.2.  JWS-Signed Request Object

   The authorization server MUST validate the signature of the JWS-
   signed [RFC7515] Request Object.  If a "kid" Header Parameter is
   present, the key identified MUST be the key used and MUST be a key
   associated with the client.  The signature MUST be validated using a
   key associated with the client and the algorithm specified in the
   "alg" Header Parameter.  Algorithm verification MUST be performed, as
   specified in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of [RFC8725].

   If the key is not associated with the client or if signature
   validation fails, the authorization server MUST return an
   "invalid_request_object" error to the client in response to the
   authorization request.

6.3.  Request Parameter Assembly and Validation

   The authorization server MUST extract the set of authorization
   request parameters from the Request Object value.  The authorization
   server MUST only use the parameters in the Request Object, even if
   the same parameter is provided in the query parameter.  The client ID
   values in the "client_id" request parameter and in the Request Object
   "client_id" claim MUST be identical.  The authorization server then
   validates the request, as specified in OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749].

   If the Client ID check or the request validation fails, then the
   authorization server MUST return an error to the client in response
   to the authorization request, as specified in Section 5.2 of
   [RFC6749] (OAuth 2.0).

7.  Authorization Server Response

   The authorization server response is created and sent to the client
   as in Section 4 of [RFC6749] (OAuth 2.0).

   In addition, this document uses these additional error values:

   invalid_request_uri
      The "request_uri" in the authorization request returns an error or
      contains invalid data.

   invalid_request_object
      The request parameter contains an invalid Request Object.

   request_not_supported
      The authorization server does not support the use of the "request"
      parameter.

   request_uri_not_supported
      The authorization server does not support the use of the
      "request_uri" parameter.

8.  TLS Requirements

   Client implementations supporting the Request Object URI method MUST
   support TLS, following "Recommendations for Secure Use of Transport
   Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS)"
   [RFC7525].

   To protect against information disclosure and tampering,
   confidentiality protection MUST be applied using TLS with a cipher
   suite that provides confidentiality and integrity protection.

   HTTP clients MUST also verify the TLS server certificate, using DNS-
   ID [RFC6125], to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks.  The rules and
   guidelines defined in [RFC6125] apply here, with the following
   considerations:

   *  Support for DNS-ID identifier type (that is, the dNSName identity
      in the subjectAltName extension) is REQUIRED.  Certification
      authorities that issue server certificates MUST support the DNS-ID
      identifier type, and the DNS-ID identifier type MUST be present in
      server certificates.

   *  DNS names in server certificates MAY contain the wildcard
      character "*".

   *  Clients MUST NOT use CN-ID identifiers; a Common Name field (CN
      field) may be present in the server certificate's subject name but
      MUST NOT be used for authentication within the rules described in
      [RFC7525].

   *  SRV-ID and URI-ID as described in Section 6.5 of [RFC6125] MUST
      NOT be used for comparison.

9.  IANA Considerations

9.1.  OAuth Parameters Registration

   Since the Request Object is a JWT, the core JWT claims cannot be used
   for any purpose in the Request Object other than for what JWT
   dictates.  Thus, they have been registered as OAuth authorization
   request parameters to avoid future OAuth extensions using them with
   different meanings.

   This specification adds the following values to the "OAuth
   Parameters" registry [IANA.OAuth.Parameters] established by
   [RFC6749].

9.4.  Media Type Registration

9.4.1.  Registry Contents

   This section registers the "application/oauth-authz-req+jwt" media
   type [RFC2046] in the "Media Types" registry [IANA.MediaTypes] in the
   manner described in [RFC6838].  It can be used to indicate that the
   content is a JWT containing Request Object claims.

   Type name:  application
   Subtype name:  oauth-authz-req+jwt
   Required parameters:  N/A

10.  Security Considerations

   In addition to all the security considerations discussed in OAuth 2.0
   [RFC6819], the security considerations in [RFC7515], [RFC7516],
   [RFC7518], and [RFC8725] need to be considered.  Also, there are
   several academic papers such as [BASIN] that provide useful insight
   into the security properties of protocols like OAuth.

   In consideration of the above, this document advises taking the
   following security considerations into account.

10.1.  Choice of Algorithms

   When sending the Authorization Request Object through the "request"
   parameter, it MUST be either signed using JWS [RFC7515] or signed and
   then encrypted using JWS [RFC7515] and JWE [RFC7516], respectively,
   with algorithms considered appropriate at the time.

10.2.  Request Source Authentication

   The source of the authorization request MUST always be verified.
   There are several ways to do it:

   (a)  Verifying the JWS Signature of the Request Object.

   (b)  Verifying that the symmetric key for the JWE encryption is the
        correct one if the JWE is using symmetric encryption.  Note,
        however, that if public key encryption is used, no source
        authentication is enabled by the encryption, as any party can
        encrypt to the public key.

   (c)  Verifying the TLS Server Identity of the Request Object URI.  In
        this case, the authorization server MUST know out-of-band that
        the client uses the Request Object URI and only the client is
        covered by the TLS certificate.  In general, this is not a
        reliable method.

   (d)  When an authorization server implements a service that returns a
        Request Object URI in exchange for a Request Object, the
        authorization server MUST perform client authentication to
        accept the Request Object and bind the client identifier to the
        Request Object URI it is providing.  It MUST validate the
        signature, per (a).  Since the Request Object URI can be
        replayed, the lifetime of the Request Object URI MUST be short
        and preferably one-time use.  The entropy of the Request Object
        URI MUST be sufficiently large.  The adequate shortness of the
        validity and the entropy of the Request Object URI depends on
        the risk calculation based on the value of the resource being
        protected.  A general guidance for the validity time would be
        less than a minute, and the Request Object URI is to include a
        cryptographic random value of 128 bits or more at the time of
        the writing of this specification.

   (e)  When a trusted third-party service returns a Request Object URI
        in exchange for a Request Object, it MUST validate the
        signature, per (a).  In addition, the authorization server MUST
        be trusted by the third-party service and MUST know out-of-band
        that the client is also trusted by it.

10.3.  Explicit Endpoints

   Although this specification does not require them, research such as
   [BASIN] points out that it is a good practice to explicitly state the
   intended interaction endpoints and the message position in the
   sequence in a tamper-evident manner so that the intent of the
   initiator is unambiguous.  It is RECOMMENDED by this specification to
   use this practice for the following endpoints defined in [RFC6749],
   [RFC6750], and [RFC8414]:

   (a)  Protected resources ("protected_resources")

   (b)  Authorization endpoint ("authorization_endpoint")

   (c)  Redirection URI ("redirect_uri")

   (d)  Token endpoint ("token_endpoint")

   Further, if dynamic discovery is used, then this practice also
   applies to the discovery-related endpoints.

   In [RFC6749], while the redirection URI is included in the
   authorization request, others are not.  As a result, the same applies
   to the Authorization Request Object.

10.4.  Risks Associated with request_uri

   The introduction of "request_uri" introduces several attack
   possibilities.  Consult the security considerations in Section 7 of
   [RFC3986] for more information regarding risks associated with URIs.

10.4.1.  DDoS Attack on the Authorization Server

   A set of malicious clients can launch a DoS attack to the
   authorization server by pointing the "request_uri" to a URI that
   returns extremely large content or is extremely slow to respond.
   Under such an attack, the server may use up its resource and start
   failing.

   Similarly, a malicious client can specify a "request_uri" value that
   itself points to an authorization request URI that uses "request_uri"
   to cause the recursive lookup.

   To prevent such an attack from succeeding, the server should a) check
   that the value of the "request_uri" parameter does not point to an
   unexpected location, b) check that the media type of the response is
   "application/oauth-authz-req+jwt", c) implement a timeout for
   obtaining the content of "request_uri", and d) not perform recursive
   GET on the "request_uri".

10.4.2.  Request URI Rewrite

   The value of "request_uri" is not signed; thus, it can be tampered
   with by a man-in-the-browser attacker.  Several attack possibilities
   arise because of this.  For example, a) an attacker may create
   another file that the rewritten URI points to, making it possible to
   request extra scope, or b) an attacker may launch a DoS attack on a
   victim site by setting the value of "request_uri" to be that of the
   victim.

   To prevent such an attack from succeeding, the server should a) check
   that the value of the "request_uri" parameter does not point to an
   unexpected location, b) check that the media type of the response is
   "application/oauth-authz-req+jwt", and c) implement a timeout for
   obtaining the content of "request_uri".

10.5.  Downgrade Attack

   Unless the protocol used by the client and the server is locked down
   to use an OAuth JWT-Secured Authorization Request (JAR), it is
   possible for an attacker to use RFC 6749 requests to bypass all the
   protection provided by this specification.

   To prevent this kind of attack, this specification defines new client
   metadata and server metadata values, both named
   "require_signed_request_object", whose values are both booleans.

   When the value of it as client metadata is "true", then the server
   MUST reject the authorization request from the client that does not
   conform to this specification.  It MUST also reject the request if
   the Request Object uses an "alg" value of "none" when this server
   metadata value is "true".  If omitted, the default value is "false".

   When the value of it as server metadata is "true", then the server
   MUST reject the authorization request from any client that does not
   conform to this specification.  It MUST also reject the request if
   the Request Object uses an "alg" value of "none".  If omitted, the
   default value is "false".

   Note that even if "require_signed_request_object" metadata values are
   not present, the client MAY use signed Request Objects, provided that
   there are signing algorithms mutually supported by the client and the
   server.  Use of signing algorithm metadata is described in Section 4.

10.6.  TLS Security Considerations

   Current security considerations can be found in "Recommendations for
   Secure Use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram Transport
   Layer Security (DTLS)" [RFC7525].  This supersedes the TLS version
   recommendations in OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749].

10.7.  Parameter Mismatches

   Given that OAuth parameter values are being sent in two different
   places, as normal OAuth parameters and as Request Object claims,
   implementations must guard against attacks that could use mismatching
   parameter values to obtain unintended outcomes.  That is the reason
   that the two client ID values MUST match, the reason that only the
   parameter values from the Request Object are to be used, and the
   reason that neither "request" nor "request_uri" can appear in a
   Request Object.

10.8.  Cross-JWT Confusion

   As described in Section 2.8 of [RFC8725], attackers may attempt to
   use a JWT issued for one purpose in a context that it was not
   intended for.  The mitigations described for these attacks can be
   applied to Request Objects.

   One way that an attacker might attempt to repurpose a Request Object
   is to try to use it as a client authentication JWT, as described in
   Section 2.2 of [RFC7523].  A simple way to prevent this is to never
   use the client ID as the "sub" value in a Request Object.

   Another way to prevent cross-JWT confusion is to use explicit typing,
   as described in Section 3.11 of [RFC8725].  One would explicitly type
   a Request Object by including a "typ" Header Parameter with the value
   "oauth-authz-req+jwt" (which is registered in Section 9.4.1).  Note,
   however, that requiring explicitly typed Request Objects at existing
   authorization servers will break most existing deployments, as
   existing clients are already commonly using untyped Request Objects,
   especially with OpenID Connect [OpenID.Core].  However, requiring
   explicit typing would be a good idea for new OAuth deployment
   profiles where compatibility with existing deployments is not a
   consideration.

   Finally, yet another way to prevent cross-JWT confusion is to use a
   key management regime in which keys used to sign Request Objects are
   identifiably distinct from those used for other purposes.  Then, if
   an adversary attempts to repurpose the Request Object in another
   context, a key mismatch will occur, thwarting the attack.

11.  Privacy Considerations

   When the client is being granted access to a protected resource
   containing personal data, both the client and the authorization
   server need to adhere to Privacy Principles.  "Privacy Considerations
   for Internet Protocols" [RFC6973] gives excellent guidance on the
   enhancement of protocol design and implementation.  The provisions
   listed in it should be followed.

   Most of the provisions would apply to "The OAuth 2.0 Authorization
   Framework" [RFC6749] and "The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework:
   Bearer Token Usage" [RFC6750] and are not specific to this
   specification.  In what follows, only the provisions specific to this
   specification are noted.

11.1.  Collection Limitation

   When the client is being granted access to a protected resource
   containing personal data, the client SHOULD limit the collection of
   personal data to that which is within the bounds of applicable law
   and strictly necessary for the specified purpose(s).

   It is often hard for the user to find out if the personal data asked
   for is strictly necessary.  A trusted third-party service can help
   the user by examining the client request, comparing it to the
   proposed processing by the client, and certifying the request.  After
   the certification, the client, when making an authorization request,
   can submit an authorization request to the trusted third-party
   service to obtain the Request Object URI.  This process has two
   steps:

   (1)  (Certification Process) The trusted third-party service examines
        the business process of the client and determines what claims
        they need; this is the certification process.  Once the client
        is certified, they are issued a client credential to
        authenticate against to push Request Objects to the trusted
        third-party service to get the "request_uri".

   (2)  (Translation Process) The client uses the client credential that
        it got to push the Request Object to the trusted third-party
        service to get the "request_uri".  The trusted third-party
        service also verifies that the Request Object is consistent with
        the claims that the client is eligible for, per the prior step.

   Upon receiving such a Request Object URI in the authorization
   request, the authorization server first verifies that the authority
   portion of the Request Object URI is a legitimate one for the trusted
   third-party service.  Then, the authorization server issues an HTTP
   GET request to the Request Object URI.  Upon connecting, the
   authorization server MUST verify that the server identity represented
   in the TLS certificate is legitimate for the Request Object URI.
   Then, the authorization server can obtain the Request Object, which
   includes the "client_id" representing the client.

   The Consent screen MUST indicate the client and SHOULD indicate that
   the request has been vetted by the trusted third-party service for
   the adherence to the collection limitation principle.

11.2.  Disclosure Limitation

11.2.1.  Request Disclosure

   This specification allows extension parameters.  These may include
   potentially sensitive information.  Since URI query parameters may
   leak through various means but most notably through referrer and
   browser history, if the authorization request contains a potentially
   sensitive parameter, the client SHOULD encrypt the Request Object
   using JWE [RFC7516].

   Where the Request Object URI method is being used, if the Request
   Object contains personally identifiable or sensitive information, the
   "request_uri" SHOULD be used only once and have a short validity
   period, and it MUST have sufficient entropy for the applicable
   security policies unless the Request Object itself is encrypted using
   JWE [RFC7516].  The adequate shortness of the validity and the
   entropy of the Request Object URI depends on the risk calculation
   based on the value of the resource being protected.  A general
   guidance for the validity time would be less than a minute, and the
   Request Object URI is to include a cryptographic random value of 128
   bits or more at the time of the writing of this specification.

11.2.2.  Tracking Using Request Object URI

   Even if the protected resource does not include personally
   identifiable information, it is sometimes possible to identify the
   user through the Request Object URI if persistent static per-user
   Request Object URIs are used.  A third party may observe it through
   browser history, etc. and start correlating the user's activity using
   it.  In a way, it is a data disclosure as well and should be avoided.

   Therefore, per-user persistent Request Object URIs should be avoided.
   Single-use Request Object URIs are one alternative.
