Best Practices for Securing RTP Media Signaled with SIP
Abstract
Although the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) includes a suite of
security services that has been expanded by numerous specifications
over the years, there is no single place that explains how to use SIP
to establish confidential media sessions. Additionally, existing
mechanisms have some feature gaps that need to be identified and
resolved in order for them to address the pervasive monitoring threat
model. This specification describes best practices for negotiating
confidential media with SIP, including a comprehensive protection
solution that binds the media layer to SIP layer identities.

1. Introduction
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261] includes a suite of
security services, including Digest Authentication [RFC7616] for
authenticating entities with a shared secret, TLS [RFC8446] for
transport security, and (optionally) S/MIME [RFC8551] for body
security. SIP is frequently used to establish media sessions -- in
particular, audio or audiovisual sessions, which have their own
security mechanisms available, such as the Secure Real-time Transport
Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711]. However, the practices needed to bind
security at the media layer to security at the SIP layer, to provide
an assurance that protection is in place all the way up the stack,
rely on a great many external security mechanisms and practices.
This document provides documentation to explain their optimal use as
a best practice.
Revelations about widespread pervasive monitoring of the Internet
have led to a greater desire to protect Internet communications
[RFC7258]. In order to maximize the use of security features,
especially of media confidentiality, opportunistic measures serve as
a stopgap when a full suite of services cannot be negotiated all the
way up the stack. Opportunistic media security for SIP is described
in [RFC8643], which builds on the prior efforts of
[Best-Effort-SRTP]. With opportunistic encryption, there is an
attempt to negotiate the use of encryption, but if the negotiation
fails, then cleartext is used. Opportunistic encryption approaches
typically have no integrity protection for the keying material.
This document contains the SIP Best-practice Recommendations Against
Network Dangers to privacY (SIPBRANDY) profile of Secure Telephone
Identity Revisited (STIR) [RFC8224] for media confidentiality,
providing a comprehensive security solution for SIP media that
includes integrity protection for keying material and offers
application-layer assurance that media confidentiality is in place.
Various specifications that User Agents (UAs) must implement to
support media confidentiality are given in the sections below; a
summary of the best current practices appears in Section 8.
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. Security at the SIP and SDP Layer
There are two approaches to providing confidentiality for media
sessions set up with SIP: comprehensive protection and opportunistic
security (as defined in [RFC7435]). This document only addresses
comprehensive protection.
Comprehensive protection for media sessions established by SIP
requires the interaction of three protocols: the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) [RFC3261], the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
[RFC4566], and the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550] --
in particular, its secure profile SRTP [RFC3711]. Broadly, it is the
responsibility of SIP to provide integrity protection for the media
keying attributes conveyed by SDP, and those attributes will in turn
identify the keys used by endpoints in the RTP media session(s) that
SDP negotiates.
Note that this framework does not apply to keys that also require
confidentiality protection in the signaling layer, such as the SDP
"k=" line, which MUST NOT be used in conjunction with this profile.
In that way, once SIP and SDP have exchanged the necessary
information to initiate a session, media endpoints will have a strong
assurance that the keys they exchange have not been tampered with by
third parties and that end-to-end confidentiality is available.
To establish the identity of the endpoints of a SIP session, this
specification uses STIR [RFC8224]. The STIR Identity header has been
designed to prevent a class of impersonation attacks that are
commonly used in robocalling, voicemail hacking, and related threats.
STIR generates a signature over certain features of SIP requests,
including header field values that contain an identity for the
originator of the request, such as the From header field or
P-Asserted-Identity field, and also over the media keys in SDP if
they are present. As currently defined, STIR provides a signature
over the "a=fingerprint" attribute, which is a fingerprint of the key
used by DTLS-SRTP [RFC5763]; consequently, STIR only offers
comprehensive protection for SIP sessions in concert with SDP and
SRTP when DTLS-SRTP is the media security service. The underlying
Personal Assertion Token (PASSporT) object [RFC8225] used by STIR is
extensible, however, and it would be possible to provide signatures
over other SDP attributes that contain alternate keying material. A
profile for using STIR to provide media confidentiality is given in
Section 4.
4. STIR Profile for Endpoint Authentication and Verification Services
STIR [RFC8224] defines the Identity header field for SIP, which
provides a cryptographic attestation of the source of communications.
This document includes a profile of STIR, called the SIPBRANDY
profile, where the STIR verification service will act in concert with
an SRTP media endpoint to ensure that the key fingerprints, as given
in SDP, match the keys exchanged to establish DTLS-SRTP. To satisfy
this condition, the verification service function would in this case
be implemented in the SIP User Agent Server (UAS), which would be
composed with the media endpoint. If the STIR authentication service
or verification service functions are implemented at an intermediary
rather than an endpoint, this introduces the possibility that the
intermediary could act as a man in the middle, altering key
fingerprints. As this attack is not in STIR's core threat model,
which focuses on impersonation rather than man-in-the-middle attacks,
STIR offers no specific protections against such interference.
The SIPBRANDY profile for media confidentiality thus shifts these
responsibilities to the endpoints rather than the intermediaries.
While intermediaries MAY provide the verification service function of
STIR for SIPBRANDY transactions, the verification needs to be
repeated at the endpoint to obtain end-to-end assurance.
Intermediaries supporting this specification MUST NOT block or
otherwise redirect calls if they do not trust the signing credential.
The SIPBRANDY profile is based on an end-to-end trust model, so it is
up to the endpoints to determine if they support signing credentials,
not intermediaries.
In order to be compliant with best practices for SIP media
confidentiality with comprehensive protection, UA implementations
MUST implement both the authentication service and verification
service roles described in [RFC8224]. STIR authentication services
MUST signal their compliance with this specification by including the
"msec" claim defined in this specification to the PASSporT payload.
Implementations MUST provide key fingerprints in SDP and the
appropriate signatures over them as specified in [RFC8225].
When generating either an offer or an answer [RFC3264], compliant
implementations MUST include an "a=fingerprint" attribute containing
the fingerprint of an appropriate key (see Section 4.1).
4.1. Credentials
In order to implement the authentication service function in the UA,
SIP endpoints will need to acquire the credentials needed to sign for
their own identity. That identity is typically carried in the From
header field of a SIP request and contains either a greenfield SIP
URI (e.g., "sip:alice@example.com") or a telephone number (which can
appear in a variety of ways, e.g.,
"sip:+17004561212@example.com;user=phone"). Section 8 of [RFC8224]
contains guidance for separating the two and determining what sort of
credential is needed to sign for each.
To date, few commercial certification authorities (CAs) issue
certificates for SIP URIs or telephone numbers; though work is
ongoing on systems for this purpose (such as [ACME-Auth-Token]), it
is not yet mature enough to be recommended as a best practice. This
is one reason why STIR permits intermediaries to act as an
authentication service on behalf of an entire domain, just as in SIP
a proxy server can provide domain-level SIP service. While CAs that
offer proof-of-possession certificates similar to those used for
email could be offered for SIP -- for either greenfield identifiers
or telephone numbers -- this specification does not require their
use.
For users who do not possess such certificates, DTLS-SRTP [RFC5763]
permits the use of self-signed public keys. The profile of STIR in
this document, called the SIPBRANDY profile, employs the more relaxed
authority requirements of [RFC8224] to allow the use of self-signed
public keys for authentication services that are composed with UAs,
by generating a certificate (per the guidance in [RFC8226]) with a
subject corresponding to the user's identity. To obtain
comprehensive protection with a self-signed certificate, some out-of-
band verification is needed as well. Such a credential could be used
for trust on first use (see [RFC7435]) by relying parties. Note that
relying parties SHOULD NOT use certificate revocation mechanisms or
real-time certificate verification systems for self-signed
certificates, as they will not increase confidence in the
certificate.
Users who wish to remain anonymous can instead generate self-signed
certificates as described in Section 4.2.
Generally speaking, without access to out-of-band information about
which certificates were issued to whom, it will be very difficult for
relying parties to ascertain whether or not the signer of a SIP
request is genuinely an "endpoint". Even the term "endpoint" is a
problematic one, as SIP UAs can be composed in a variety of
architectures and may not be devices under direct user control.
While it is possible that techniques based on certificate
transparency [RFC6962] or similar practices could help UAs to
recognize one another's certificates, those operational systems will
need to ramp up with the CAs that issue credentials to end-user
devices going forward.
4.2. Anonymous Communications
In some cases, the identity of the initiator of a SIP session may be
withheld due to user or provider policy. Following the
recommendations of [RFC3323], this may involve using an identity such
as "anonymous@anonymous.invalid" in the identity fields of a SIP
request. [RFC8224] does not currently permit authentication services
to sign for requests that supply this identity. It does, however,
permit signing for valid domains, such as "anonymous@example.com", as
a way of implementing an anonymization service as specified in
[RFC3323].
Even for anonymous sessions, providing media confidentiality and
partial SDP integrity is still desirable. One-time self-signed
certificates for anonymous communications SHOULD include a
subjectAltName of "sip:anonymous@anonymous.invalid". After a session
is terminated, the certificate SHOULD be discarded, and a new one,
with fresh keying material, SHOULD be generated before each future
anonymous call. As with self-signed certificates, relying parties
SHOULD NOT use certificate revocation mechanisms or real-time
certificate verification systems for anonymous certificates, as they
will not increase confidence in the certificate.
Note that when using one-time anonymous self-signed certificates, any
man in the middle could strip the Identity header and replace it with
one signed by its own one-time certificate, changing the "mky"
parameters of PASSporT and any "a=fingerprint" attributes in SDP as
it chooses. This signature only provides protection against
non-Identity-aware entities that might modify SDP without altering
the PASSporT conveyed in the Identity header.
4.3. Connected Identity Usage
STIR [RFC8224] provides integrity protection for the fingerprint
attributes in SIP request bodies but not SIP responses. When a
session is established, therefore, any SDP body carried by a
200-class response in the backwards direction will not be protected
by an authentication service and cannot be verified. Thus, sending a
secured SDP body in the backwards direction will require an extra
RTT, typically a request sent in the backwards direction.
[RFC4916] explored the problem of providing "connected identity" to
implementations of [RFC4474] (which is obsoleted by [RFC8224]);
[RFC4916] uses a provisional or mid-dialog UPDATE request in the
backwards (reverse) direction to convey an Identity header field for
the recipient of an INVITE. The procedures in [RFC4916] are largely
compatible with the revision of the Identity header in [RFC8224].
However, the following need to be considered:
* The UPDATE carrying signed SDP with a fingerprint in the backwards
direction needs to be sent during dialog establishment, following
the receipt of a Provisional Response Acknowledgement (PRACK)
after a provisional 1xx response.
* For use with this SIPBRANDY profile for media confidentiality, the
UAS that responds to the INVITE request needs to act as an
authentication service for the UPDATE sent in the backwards
direction.
* Per the text in Section 4.4.1 of [RFC4916] regarding the receipt
at a User Agent Client (UAC) of error code 428, 436, 437, or 438
in response to a mid-dialog request, it is RECOMMENDED that the
dialog be treated as terminated. However, Section 6.1.1 of
[RFC8224] allows the retransmission of requests with repairable
error conditions. In particular, an authentication service might
retry a mid-dialog rather than treating the dialog as terminated,
although only one such retry is permitted.
* Note that the examples in [RFC4916] are based on [RFC4474] and
will not match signatures using [RFC8224].
Future work may be done to revise [RFC4916] for STIR; that work
should take into account any impacts on the SIPBRANDY profile
described in this document. The use of [RFC4916] has some further
interactions with Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE)
[RFC8445]; see Section 7.
4.4. Authorization Decisions
[RFC8224] grants STIR verification services a great deal of latitude
when making authorization decisions based on the presence of the
Identity header field. It is largely a matter of local policy
whether an endpoint rejects a call based on the absence of an
Identity header field, or even the presence of a header that fails an
integrity check against the request.
For this SIPBRANDY profile of STIR, however, a compliant verification
service that receives a dialog-forming SIP request containing an
Identity header with a PASSporT type of "msec", after validating the
request per the steps described in Section 6.2 of [RFC8224], MUST
reject the request if there is any failure in that validation process
with the appropriate status code per Section 6.2.2 of [RFC8224]. If
the request is valid, then if a terminating user accepts the request,
it MUST then follow the steps in Section 4.3 to act as an
authentication service and send a signed request with the "msec"
PASSporT type in its Identity header as well, in order to enable
end-to-end bidirectional confidentiality.
For the purposes of this profile, the "msec" PASSporT type can be
used by authentication services in one of two ways: as a mandatory
request for media security or as a merely opportunistic request for
media security. As any verification service that receives an
Identity header field in a SIP request with an unrecognized PASSporT
type will simply ignore that Identity header, an authentication
service will know whether or not the terminating side supports "msec"
based on whether or not its UA receives a signed request in the
backwards direction per Section 4.3. If no such requests are
received, the UA may do one of two things: shut down the dialog, if
the policy of the UA requires that "msec" be supported by the
terminating side for this dialog; or, if policy permits (e.g., an
explicit acceptance by the user), allow the dialog to continue
without media security.
5. Media Security Protocols
As there are several ways to negotiate media security with SDP, any
of which might be used with either opportunistic or comprehensive
protection, further guidance to implementers is needed. In
[RFC8643], opportunistic approaches considered include DTLS-SRTP,
security descriptions [RFC4568], and ZRTP [RFC6189].
Support for DTLS-SRTP is REQUIRED by this specification.
The "mky" claim of PASSporT provides integrity protection for
"a=fingerprint" attributes in SDP, including cases where multiple
"a=fingerprint" attributes appear in the same SDP.
6. Relayed Media and Conferencing
Providing end-to-end media confidentiality for SIP is complicated by
the presence of many forms of media relays. While many media relays
merely proxy media to a destination, others present themselves as
media endpoints and terminate security associations before
re-originating media to its destination.
Centralized conference bridges are one type of entity that typically
terminates a media session in order to mux media from multiple
sources and then to re-originate the muxed media to conference
participants. In many such implementations, only hop-by-hop media
confidentiality is possible. Work is ongoing to specify a means to
encrypt both (1) the hop-by-hop media between a UA and a centralized
server and (2) the end-to-end media between UAs, but it is not
sufficiently mature at this time to become a best practice. Those
protocols are expected to identify their own best-practice
recommendations as they mature.
Another class of entities that might relay SIP media are Back-to-Back
User Agents (B2BUAs). If a B2BUA follows the guidance in [RFC7879],
it may be possible for B2BUAs to act as media relays while still
permitting end-to-end confidentiality between UAs.
Ultimately, if an endpoint can decrypt media it receives, then that
endpoint can forward the decrypted media without the knowledge or
consent of the media's originator. No media confidentiality
mechanism can protect against these sorts of relayed disclosures or
against a legitimate endpoint that can legitimately decrypt media and
record a copy to be sent elsewhere (see [RFC7245]).
7. ICE and Connected Identity
Providing confidentiality for media with comprehensive protection
requires careful timing of when media streams should be sent and when
a user interface should signify that confidentiality is in place.
In order to best enable end-to-end connectivity between UAs and to
avoid media relays as much as possible, implementations of this
specification MUST support ICE [RFC8445] [RFC8839]. To speed up call
establishment, it is RECOMMENDED that implementations support Trickle
ICE [RFC8838] [RFC8840].
Note that in the comprehensive protection case, the use of connected
identity [RFC4916] with ICE implies that the answer containing the
key fingerprints, and thus the STIR signature, will come in an UPDATE
sent in the backwards direction, a provisional response, and a PRACK,
rather than in any earlier SDP body. Only at such a time as that
UPDATE is received will the media keys be considered exchanged in
this case.
Similarly, in order to prevent, or at least mitigate, the denial-of-
service attack described in Section 19.5.1 of [RFC8445], this
specification incorporates best practices for ensuring that
recipients of media flows have consented to receive such flows.
Implementations of this specification MUST implement the Session
Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) usage for consent freshness
defined in [RFC7675].
8. Best Current Practices
The following are the best practices for SIP UAs to provide media
confidentiality for SIP sessions.
* Implementations MUST support the SIPBRANDY profile as defined in
Section 4 and signal such support in PASSporT via the "msec"
header element.
* Implementations MUST follow the authorization decision behavior
described in Section 4.4.
* Implementations MUST support DTLS-SRTP for management of keys, as
described in Section 5.
* Implementations MUST support ICE and the STUN consent freshness
mechanism, as specified in Section 7.
9. IANA Considerations
This specification defines a new value for the "Personal Assertion
Token (PASSporT) Extensions" registry called "msec". IANA has added
the entry to the registry with a value pointing to this document.
10. Security Considerations
This document describes the security features that provide media
sessions established with SIP with confidentiality, integrity, and
authentication.
