    Hi folks, Tuesday (27 September 2005)

    Below is proposed text for inclusion in the WIMS Protocol spec:

    - Miscellaneous global edits to correct some references

    - Section 5 "WIMS URI Scheme"
      - complete rewrite to be protocol binding neutral (except for default)
      - deleted PSI query parameters section
      - deleted WIMS 'id', 'object', 'resource', 'subunit' query parameters
      - moved 'binding' query parameter to Appendix A (protocol bindings)

    - Section 10 "Security Considerations"
      - derived from the Security Considerations in WIMS (PWG 5104.2), which
        is also a SOAP-based Web Services protocol

    - Section 13 "Appendix A - WIMS Protocol Bindings (Normative)"

    - Additions to "Normative References"

    - Additions to "Informative References"

    Bill - there are a number of normative (MUST or SHOULD) conformance
    requirements in this new Section 8 "Security Considerations" - I suggest
    we add a bullet pointing to these security conformance requirements to
    our existing Section 7 "Conformance" - OK?

    Comments?

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    5. WIMS URI Scheme

    5.1. Applicability

    The WIMS URI scheme MUST only be used to specify absolute URIs. The
    WIMS URI scheme MUST NOT be used to specify relative URIs (they would be
    meaningless). The WIMS URI scheme MUST only be used to specify the use
    of the WIMS abstract protocol defined in this specification implemented
    over one of the protocol bindings defined in Appendix A.

    Without query parameters, the WIMS URI scheme MUST be used to identify
    only a WIMS Agent or WIMS Manager as defined in this WIMS specification.

    With the WIMS proxy query parameter ('legacy'), the WIMS URI scheme MAY
    be used to reference other management protocols (SNMP, WBEM, etc.).

    Without the WIMS binding query parameter ('binding'), the WIMS URI
    scheme specifies the WIMS abstract protocol over SOAP/1.2 [SOAP1.2] over
    HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] (see Appendix A of this WIMS specification).

    The WIMS URI scheme supports communication between WIMS Agents and WIMS
    Managers:

    * In the WIMS Agent Interface, the WIMS Agent always initiates the
      connection and sends operation requests to the superior WIMS Manager.

    * In the WIMS Manager Interface, the WIMS Manager always initiates the
      connection and sends operation requests to the subordinate WIMS Agent.

    5.2. Associated Port

    A WIMS URI that does NOT specify either an alternate port or explicit
    alternate binding (in the 'binding' query parameter) MUST be resolved to
    IANA-assigned well-known port 80 for HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616], as registered
    in [IANA-PORTREG].

    See: IANA Port Numbers Registry [IANA-PORTREG].

    5.3. Associated MIME Types

    A WIMS URI that does NOT specify an alternate presentation layer (in the
    'binding' query parameter) MUST be used to identify WIMS Agents or WIMS
    Managers that support the "application/soap+xml" MIME type [RFC3902]
    (for SOAP bindings) or the "text/xml" MIME type [RFC3023] (for direct
    XML bindings encoded in UTF-8 [RFC3629]).

    See: IANA MIME Media Types Registry [IANA-MIME].

    5.4. Character Encoding

    A WIMS URI MUST use [RFC3986] encoding. Every character in the
    "unreserved" set [RFC3986] is equivalent to its percent encoding
    [RFC3896].

    5.5. Syntax

    For definitive information on common URI scheme syntax and semantics,
    see "Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax and Semantics"
    [RFC3986].

        Note: The abstract protocol defined in this WIMS specification
        places a limit of 1023 octets (NOT characters) on the maximum length
        of a URI. WIMS Agents and WIMS Managers SHOULD be cautious about
        depending on URI lengths above 255 octets, because older HTTP/1.1
        implementations may not properly support these lengths.

    A WIMS URI MUST be represented in absolute form, beginning with the
    scheme name followed by a colon. This WIMS specification imports the
    normative definitions of 'authority', 'userinfo', 'host', 'port',
    'path-absolute', and 'query' from [RFC3986].

    The WIMS URI scheme syntax is defined in ABNF as follows:

        wimsuri = "pwg-wims:" "//" authority [ path-absolute ] [ "?" query ]

    The 'authority' component is defined by [RFC3986] in ABNF as follows:

        authority = [ userinfo "@" ] host [ ":" port ]

    Literal IPv4 or IPv6 addresses SHOULD NOT be used in WIMS URI, for
    reliability in the context of network reconfigurations, NAT/firewall
    traversal, and/or mobile managed entities [RFC3986].

    The 'port' element SHOULD NOT be used in a WIMS URI for a Legacy Agent
    (because the port would apply to the WIMS Proxy rather than the actual
    legacy protocol endpoint). See 'Legacy Agent URI Examples' later in
    this WIMS specification.

    A WIMS URI that does NOT specify either an alternate port or explicit
    alternate binding (in the 'binding' query parameter) MUST be resolved to
    IANA-assigned well-known port 80 for HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616], as registered
    in [IANA-PORTREG].

    The semantics of a WIMS URI are that it identifies a WIMS endpoint at a
    WIMS Agent or WIMS Manager listening for incoming connections on the
    specified host and resolved port, and over HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] the
    Request-URI for the identified endpoint is 'path-absolute' (possibly
    qualified by one or more query parameters).

    If the 'path-absolute' element is not present in a WIMS URI, it MUST be
    given as "/" when used as a Request-URI for a WIMS endpoint (see section
    5.1.2 of HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616]).

    5.6. Query Parameters

    Any of the PWG standard query parameters defined in PSI/1.0 [PWG-5104.2]
    may be used in specifying a WIMS URI, although some may not always be
    meaningful (e.g., the 'passive' query parameter is only meaningful for a
    file transfer binding such as FTP).

    Extensions to the PWG standard query parameters 'auth' (Authentication)
    and 'sec' (Security) and one new PWG standard query parameter 'binding'
    (Protocol Stack) are specified in Appendix A of this specification.

    5.7. Examples

    5.7.1. WIMS Agent URI Examples

    The following are examples of well-formed WIMS URI for WIMS Agents
    (e.g., for the 'agentReference' parameter in a SetSchedule request):

        pwg-wims://example.com
        pwg-wims://example.com/agent
        pwg-wims://example.com/agent&binding=soap11.http11

    5.7.2. WIMS Manager URI Examples

    The following are examples of well-formed WIMS URI for WIMS Managers
    (e.g., for the 'managerURI' parameter in a GetSchedule request):

        pwg-wims://example.com
        pwg-wims://example.com/manager
        pwg-wims://example.com/manager?binding=soap12.beep

    5.7.3. Legacy Agent URI Examples

    The following are examples of well-formed WIMS URI for Legacy Agents
    (e.g., for the 'ActionAgentReference' element in a Schedule object):

    pwg-wims://example.com?legacy=snmp://bob.com
    pwg-wims://example.com/agent?legacy=snmp://bob.com

    5.8. Normalization and Comparisons

    See section 6 'URI Normalization and Comparison' of [RFC3986].

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    8. Security Considerations

    This section conforms to all of the best practice recommendations in
    "Guidelines for Writing RFC Text on Security Considerations" [RFC3552].
    This section defines security conformance requirements applicable to all
    WIMS implementations, in addition to the basic conformance requirements
    specified in section 6 'WIMS Interface'. This section contains:

    (a) Descriptions of the security threats applicable to all WIMS
        implementations;

    (b) Discussions of these security threats by reference to applicable
        underlying protocol specifications (e.g., HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616]);

    (c) Definitions of the corresponding security conformance requirements
        applicable to all WIMS implementations.

    8.1. Internet Threat Model

    The following discussion of threats is adapted from section 3 of
    [RFC3552].

    In the Internet threat model, we assume that the end-systems engaging in
    a protocol exchange have not themselves been compromised. Protecting
    against an attack when one of the end-systems has itself been
    compromised is extraordinarily difficult.

    By contrast, we assume that the attacker has nearly complete control
    of the communications channel over which the end-systems communicate.
    This means that the attacker can read any PDU (Protocol Data Unit) on
    the network and undetectably remove, change, or inject forged packets
    onto the wire. This includes being able to generate packets that
    appear to be from a trusted machine. Thus, even if the end-system
    with which you wish to communicate is itself secure, the Internet
    environment provides no assurance that packets which claim to be from
    that system in fact are.

    It's important to realize that the meaning of a PDU is different at
    different layers. At the IP layer [RFC791], a PDU means an IP packet.
    At the TCP layer [RFC793], it means a TCP segment. At higher layers
    it means some kind of higher layer PDU. For instance, at the SOAP layer
    [SOAP1.2], it means a single SOAP request or response message, while at
    the HTTP layer [RFC2616], it means a single HTTP request or response
    message.

    8.1.1. Passive Attacks

    In a passive attack, the attacker reads packets off the network but
    does not write them. The simplest way to mount such an attack is to
    simply be on the same LAN as the victim. On most common LAN
    configurations, including Ethernet, 802.3, and FDDI, any machine on
    the wire can read all traffic destined for any other machine on the
    same LAN. Note that switching hubs make this sort of sniffing
    substantially more difficult, since traffic destined for a machine
    only goes to the network segment that machine is located on.

    Wireless communications channels deserve special consideration,
    especially with the recent and growing popularity of wireless-based
    LANs, such as those using 802.11. Since the data is simply broadcast
    on well known radio frequencies, an attacker simply needs to be able
    to receive those transmissions. Such channels are especially
    vulnerable to passive attacks. Although many such channels include
    cryptographic protection, it is often of very poor quality.

    Passive attacks described in [RFC3552] and considered in WIMS are:

    (1) Confidentiality Violations - exposure of private business data:
        (a) WIMS implementations over HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] or BEEP [RFC3080]
            MUST support TLS/1.0 [RFC2616]; and
        (b) WIMS implementations over email (SMTP/IMAP4/POP3) MUST support
            S/MIME [RFC3851] or OpenPGP [RFC3156].

    (2) Password Sniffing - exposure of passwords by an attacker who can
        monitor messages on the wire:
        (a) WIMS implementations MUST NOT transfer cleartext passwords over
            unencrypted channels; and
        (b) WIMS implementations SHOULD throttle login attempts from a given
            user (e.g., no more than three attempts per minute).

    (3) Offline Cryptographic Attacks - dictionary attacks on password-based
        challenge/response protocols such as HTTP Digest defined in
        [RFC2617] by an attacker who can record a sequence of messages off
        the wire:
        (a) WIMS implementations over HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] MUST support
            TLS/1.0 [RFC2246]; and
        (b) WIMS implementations over BEEP [RFC3080] MUST support TLS/1.0
            [RFC2246] and SASL [RFC2222].

    8.1.2. Active Attacks

    In an active attack, the attacker writes packets to the network and may
    read responses from the network. Active attacks that involve sending
    forged packets but not receiving any responses are called 'blind
    attacks'.

    When IP [RFC791] is used without IPSec [RFC2401], there is no
    authentication for the sender address. Active attacks that involve
    forging an IP packet with a false source address are called 'spoofing
    attacks'.

    An IP packet with a forged source address may sometimes be screened out
    by the network infrastructure. For instance, many packet filtering
    firewalls screen out all packets with source addresses on the internal
    network that arrive on the external interface. Note that this provides
    no protection against an attacker who is inside the firewall. In
    general, protocol designers should assume that attackers can forge IP
    packets.

    Not all active attacks require forging addresses. For example, the TCP
    SYN denial of service attack does not require disguising the sender's
    address. However, it is common practice to disguise one's address in
    order to conceal one's identity if an attack is discovered.

    Active attacks described in [RFC3552] and considered in WIMS are:

    (1) Message Replay Attacks - transaction replays by an attacker who can
        record a sequence of messages off the wire.

    (2) Message Insertion Attacks - message insertion by an attacker who can
        monitor a sequence of messages on the wire.

    (3) Message Deletion Attacks - message deletion by and attacker who can
        intercept messages on the wire.

    (4) Message Modification Attacks - message modification by an attacker
        who can intercept messages on the wire.

    (*) For protection against attacks (1) to (4) above:
        (a) All WIMS implementations MUST validate WIMS application protocol
            sequence numbers;
        (b) WIMS implementations over HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] or BEEP [RFC3080]
            MUST support TLS/1.0 [RFC2246] and SHOULD always use TLS data
            integrity services; and
        (c) WIMS implementations over email (SMTP/IMAP4/POP3) MUST support
            S/MIME [RFC3851] or OpenPGP [RFC3156].

    (5) Denial-Of-Service Attacks - resource blocking by an attacker who can
        generate high-volume message traffic (for example, numerous incoming
        TCP [RFC793] connections from the same remote host or domain):
        (a) All WIMS implementations MUST take the active measures against
            denial-of-service attacks recommended for their implemented
            protocol stack(s); and
        (b) All WIMS implementations SHOULD report denial-of-service attacks
            to network management stations and/or management personnel.

    (6) Man-In-The-Middle Attacks - session hijacking by an attacker who can
        intercept and insert messages on the wire:
        (a) All WIMS implementations SHOULD perform mutual authentication
            during session startup;
        (b) WIMS implementations over HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] MUST support
            TLS/1.0 [RFC2246] and SHOULD perform both client and server
            authentication during TLS startup using public key certificates;
        (c) WIMS implementations over BEEP [RFC3080] MUST support TLS/1.0
            [RFC2246] and SHOULD perform server authentication during TLS
            startup and client authentication via SASL using public key
            certificates; and
        (d) WIMS implementations over email (SMTP/IMAP4/POP3) MUST support
            S/MIME [RFC3851] or OpenPGP [RFC3156] and SHOULD perform both
            initiator and responder authentication via public key
            certificates.

    8.2. Enterprise Threat Model

    In the enterprise threat model, we can no longer assume that the
    end-systems engaging in a protocol exchange have not themselves been
    compromised. Physical security of workstations and imaging systems in
    an enterprise network is often the weakest point of security defenses.
    For example, print jobs typically produce hardcopy, which an attacker
    can simply steal.

    Network security problems are actually worse in an enterprise network.
    Firewalls and border routers no longer provide any useful protection.

    Users and administrators who deploy WIMS-enabled products in enterprise
    networks:

    (a) SHOULD enforce the use of mutual authentication by all deployed
        WIMS-enabled products;
    (b) SHOULD enforce the use of TLS/1.0 by WIMS implementations over
        HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] or BEEP [RFC3080]; and
    (c) SHOULD enforce the use of S/MIME [RFC3851] or OpenPGP [RFC3156] by
        WIMS implementations over email (SMTP/IMAP4/POP3).

    8.3. Mobile Threat Model

    In the mobile threat model, we can no longer defend against attackers
    based on physical network topology. Mobile clients may access home,
    business, or commercial WIMS-enabled products via:

    (1) Public Wireless - Cellular ISPs, IEEE 802.11 wireless Ethernet 'hot
        spots' in airports, etc.

    (2) Local Wireless - Bluetooth/IRDA-enabled laptops and printers, etc.

    Users and administrators who deploy WIMS-enabled products in mobile
    networks:

    (a) SHOULD enforce the use of mutual authentication by all deployed
        WIMS-enabled products;
    (b) SHOULD enforce the use of TLS/1.0 by WIMS implementations over
        HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] or BEEP [RFC3080];
    (c) SHOULD enforce the use of S/MIME [RFC3851] or OpenPGP [RFC3156] by
        WIMS implementations over email (SMTP/IMAP4/POP3); and
    (d) SHOULD consider the use of IPSec [RFC2401] which offers significant
        security advantages in mobile networks.

    8.4. HTTP Threat Model

    WIMS implementations over HTTP/1.1 [RFC2616] are vulnerable to the
    threats described in section 15 'Security Considerations' of [RFC2616].

    8.5. BEEP Threat Model

    WIMS implementations over BEEP [RFC3080] are vulnerable to the threats
    described in section 9 'Security Considerations' of [RFC3080].

    8.6. Email Threat Model

    WIMS implementations over email are vulnerable to threats described in:

    (a) section 7 'Security Considerations' of SMTP [RFC2821];
    (b) section 5 'Security Considerations' of the Internet Message Format
        [RFC2822];
    (c) section 11 'Security Considerations' of IMAP4 [RFC3501]; and
    (d) section 13 'Security Considerations' of POP3 [RFC1939].

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    13. Appendix A - WIMS Protocol Bindings (Normative)

    PWG well-known WIMS protocol bindings are defined in this section. One
    new PWG standard URI query parameter 'binding' is defined, to support
    multiple protocol bindings for the WIMS URI scheme (or any other imaging
    system/service URI scheme). The PWG standard query parameters 'auth'
    (authentication) and 'sec' (security) defined in PSI/1.0 [PWG5104.2] are
    updated with new keyword values to support non-HTTP protocol bindings.

    WIMS standard bindings always require the current versions of underlying
    protocols (e.g., SOAP/1.2). WIMS compatibility bindings may require
    previous versions (e.g., SOAP/1.1). A conforming WIMS implementation:

    (a) MUST implement one or more of the WIMS standard bindings;

    (b) SHOULD implement the WIMS default binding (for interoperability);

    (c) MAY implement one or more of the WIMS compatibility bindings; and

    (d) MAY implement one or more vendor-specific bindings.
