The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: JWT Secured Authorization Request
                                 (JAR)
                       draft-ietf-oauth-jwsreq-20

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 are not
   integrity protected and thus the parameters can be tainted, and (b)
   the source of the communication is not authenticated.  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 property of the Authorization Request is 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 the result, the Authorization Request of [RFC6749] has
   shortcomings in that:

   (a)  the communication through the user agents are 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 and Mix-up attack [FETT],
   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 third party so that a client application cannot request more
   permissions than previously agreed.  This offers an additional degree
   of privacy protection.

   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.  This JWT 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 the "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.

Internet-Draft                  OAuth JAR                   October 2019


   (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 third
        party attesting that the authorization request is compliant with
        a certain policy.  For example, a request can be pre-examined by
        a third party that all the personal data requested is strictly
        necessary to perform the process that the end-user asked for,
        and statically signed by that 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 that request by reference is useful such as:

   1.  When it is desirable to reduce the size of 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 crypto.
       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 in addition to what is defined in OAuth 2.0 Framework
   [RFC6749], JSON Web Signature [RFC7515], and JSON Web Encryption
   [RFC7519] apply.

2.1.  Request Object

   JWT [RFC7519] that holds an OAuth 2.0 authorization request as JWT
   Claims Set

2.2.  Request Object URI

   Absolute URI from which the Request Object (Section 2.1) can be
   obtained

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.  It MAY include
   any extension parameters.  This JSON [RFC7159] 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

Internet-Draft                  OAuth JAR                   October 2019


   the Authorization Server (AS) "issuer" as defined in RFC8414
   [RFC8414].

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

   The Authorization 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 "mime-type" "application/
   oauth.authz.req+jwt"

   The following is an example of the Claims in a Request Object before
   base64url encoding and signing.  Note that it includes extension
   variables such as "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 results in this Request Object
   value (with line wraps within values for display purposes only):

     }

5.  Authorization Request

   The client constructs the authorization request URI by adding one of
   the following parameters but not both to the query component of the
   authorization endpoint URI using the "application/x-www-form-
   urlencoded" format:

   request  The Request Object (Section 2.1) that holds authorization
      request parameters stated in section 4 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749].

   request_uri  The absolute URI as defined by RFC3986 [RFC3986] that
      points to the Request Object (Section 2.1) that holds
      authorization request parameters stated in section 4 of OAuth 2.0
      [RFC6749].

   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?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

Internet-Draft                  OAuth JAR                   October 2019


   (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 the 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?
       request=eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImsyYmRjIn0.ewogICAgImlzcyI6

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, other than that the Request Object value is retrieved from
   the resource identified by the specified URI rather than passed by
   value.

   The entire Request URI MUST NOT exceed 512 ASCII characters.  There
   are three reasons for this restriction.

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

   2.  The maximum URL length supported by older versions of Internet
       Explorer is 2083 ASCII characters.

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

   The contents of the resource referenced by the URI MUST be a Request
   Object.  The "request_uri" value MUST be either URN as defined in
   RFC8141 [RFC8141] or "https" URI, as defined in 2.7.2 of RFC7230
   [RFC7230] .  The "request_uri" value MUST be reachable by the
   Authorization Server.

   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 facility
   may be provided by the authorization server or a 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.  For
   the guidance, refer to 5.1.4.2.2 of [RFC6819] and Good Practices for
   Capability URLs [CapURLs].  It is RECOMMENDED that it be removed
   after a reasonable timeout unless access control measures are taken.

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?

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 it is stored in a way so that it can retrieve
   it through other mechanism securely, and parse it to recreate the
   Authorization Request parameters.

6.  Validating JWT-Based Requests

6.1.  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.

6.2.  JWS Signed Request Object

   The Authorization Server MUST perform the signature validation of the
   JSON Web Signature [RFC7515] signed request object.  For this, the
   "alg" Header Parameter in its JOSE Header MUST match the value of the
   pre-registered algorithm.  The signature MUST be validated against
   the appropriate key for that "client_id" and algorithm.

   If signature validation fails, the Authorization Server MUST return
   an "invalid_request_object" error.

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 Authorization
   Server then validates the request as specified in OAuth 2.0
   [RFC6749].

   If the validation fails, then the Authorization Server MUST return an
   error as specified in OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749].

7.  Authorization Server Response

   Authorization Server Response is created and sent to the client as in
   Section 4 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] .

   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)
   [BCP195].

   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:

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

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

   o  Clients MUST NOT use CN-ID identifiers; a CN field may be present
      in the server certificate's subject name, but MUST NOT be used for
      authentication within the rules described in [BCP195].

   o  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 need to be registered to OAuth Parameter
   Registry to avoid future OAuth extensions using them with different
   meanings.

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

10.  Security Considerations

   In addition to the all the security considerations discussed in OAuth
   2.0 [RFC6819], the security considerations in [RFC7515], [RFC7516],
   and [RFC7518] needs 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 "request"
   parameter, it MUST either be signed using JWS [RFC7515] or signed
   then encrypted using JWS [RFC7515] and JWE [RFC7516] respectively,
   with then considered appropriate algorithms.

10.2.  Request Source Authentication

   The source of the Authorization Request MUST always be verified.
   There are several ways to do it in this specification.

   (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.

   (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 Request Object URI and only the Client is
        covered by the TLS certificate.  In general, it is not a
        reliable method.




Sakimura & Bradley       Expires April 22, 2020                [Page 16]


Internet-Draft                  OAuth JAR                   October 2019


   (d)  When Authorization Server is providing an endpoint that provides
        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.  Since 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 128bit or more at the
        time of the writing of this specification.

   (e)  When a third party, such as a Trust Framework Provider(TFP),
        provides an endpoint that provides a Request Object URI in
        exchange for a Request Object.  The same requirements as (b) and
        (c) above apply.  In addition, the Authorization Server MUST
        know out-of-band that the Client utilizes the Trust Framework
        Operator and the Authorization Server MUST be a member of that
        trust framework so that it can trust the TFP.

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.  The following endpoints defined in
   [RFC6749], [RFC6750], and [RFC8414] are RECOMMENDED by this
   specification to use this practice :

   (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 Redirection URI is included in the Authorization
   Request, others are not.  As a result, the same applies to
   Authorization Request Object.

Internet-Draft                  OAuth JAR                   October 2019


   The lack of the link among those endpoints are cited as the cause of
   Cross-Phase Attacks introduced in [FETT].  An extension specification
   should be created as a measure to address the risk.

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 [RFC3986] for more information regarding risks associated
   with URIs.

10.4.1.  DDoS Attack on the Authorization Server

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

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

   To prevent such attack to succeed, the server should (a) check that
   the value of "request_uri" parameter does not point to an unexpected
   location, (b) check the content type of the response is "application/
   oauth.authz.req+jwt" (c) implement a time-out 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 by
   Man-in-the-browser attacker.  Several attack possibilities rise
   because of this, e.g., (a) attacker may create another file that the
   rewritten URI points to making it possible to request extra scope (b)
   attacker launches a DoS attack to a victim site by setting the value
   of "request_uri" to be that of the victim.

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

11.  TLS security considerations

   Current security considerations can be found in Recommendations for
   Secure Use of TLS and DTLS [BCP195].  This supersedes the TLS version
   recommendations in OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749].

12.  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.  RFC 6973 Privacy
   Considerations for Internet Protocols [RFC6973] gives excellent
   guidance on the enhancement of protocol design and implementation.
   The provision listed in it should be followed.

   Most of the provision 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 specific provisions to this specification are
   noted.

12.1.  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 Trust Framework Provider can help the
   user by examining the Client request and comparing to the proposed
   processing by the Client and certifying the request.  After the
   certification, the Client, when making an Authorization Request, can
   submit Authorization Request to the Trust Framework Provider to
   obtain the Request Object URI.  This process is two steps:

   (1)  (Certification Process) The TFP examines the business process of
        the client and determines what claims they need: This is the
        certification process.  Once the client is certified, then they
        are issued a client credential to authenticate against to push
        request objects to the TFP to get the "request_uri".

   (2)  (Translation Process) The client uses the client credential that
        it got to push the request object to the TFP to get the
        "request_uri".

   Upon receiving such Request Object URI in the Authorization Request,
   the Authorization Server first verifies that the authority portion of

Internet-Draft                  OAuth JAR                   October 2019


   the Request Object URI is a legitimate one for the Trust Framework
   Provider.  Then, the Authorization Server issues HTTP GET request to
   the Request Object URI.  Upon connecting, the Authorization Server
   MUST verify 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 Trust Framework Operator for the
   adherence to the Collection Limitation principle.

12.2.  Disclosure Limitation

12.2.1.  Request Disclosure

   This specification allows extension parameters.  These may include
   potentially sensitive information.  Since URI query parameter 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 JWE [RFC7516] encrypt the
   request object.

   Where 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, have a short validity period,
   and MUST have large enough entropy deemed necessary with applicable
   security policy unless the Request Object itself is JWE [RFC7516]
   Encrypted.  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 128bit or more at the
   time of the writing of this specification.

12.2.2.  Tracking using Request Object URI

   Even if the protected resource does not include a 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 Request Object URI should be avoided.
