RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


1.  Introduction

   This memo defines methods of end-to-end signing and object encryption
   for the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP).  (For
   information about XMPP, see [XMPP-CORE] and [XMPP-IM].)  The method
   specified herein enables a sender to sign and/or encrypt an instant
   message sent to a specific recipient, sign and/or encrypt presence
   information that is directed to a specific user, and sign and/or
   encrypt any arbitrary XMPP stanza directed to a specific user.  This
   memo thereby helps the XMPP specifications meet the requirements
   specified in [IMP-REQS].

1.1.  Terminology

   This document inherits terminology defined in [CMS], [IMP-MODEL],
   [SMIME], and [XMPP-CORE].

   The capitalized key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL",
   "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14, RFC 2119 [TERMS].

2.  Requirements

   For the purposes of this memo, we stipulate the following
   requirements:

   1.  The method defined MUST address signing and encryption
       requirements for minimal instant messaging and presence, as those
       are defined in [IMP-REQS].  In particular, the method MUST
       address the following requirements, which are copied here
       verbatim from [IMP-REQS]:

       *  The protocol MUST provide means to ensure confidence that a
          received message (NOTIFICATION or INSTANT MESSAGE) has not
          been corrupted or tampered with.  (Section 2.5.1)

       *  The protocol MUST provide means to ensure confidence that a
          received message (NOTIFICATION or INSTANT MESSAGE) has not
          been recorded and played back by an adversary.  (Section
          2.5.2)

       *  The protocol MUST provide means to ensure that a sent message
          (NOTIFICATION or INSTANT MESSAGE) is only readable by ENTITIES
          that the sender allows.  (Section 2.5.3)






Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                     [Page 2]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


       *  The protocol MUST allow any client to use the means to ensure
          non-corruption, non-playback, and privacy, but the protocol
          MUST NOT require that all clients use these means at all
          times.  (Section 2.5.4)

       *  When A establishes a SUBSCRIPTION to B's PRESENCE INFORMATION,
          the protocol MUST provide A means of verifying the accurate
          receipt of the content B chooses to disclose to A.  (Section
          5.1.4)

       *  The protocol MUST provide A means of verifying that the
          presence information is accurate, as sent by B.  (Section
          5.3.1)

       *  The protocol MUST provide A means of ensuring that no other
          PRINCIPAL C can see the content of M.  (Section 5.4.6)

       *  The protocol MUST provide A means of ensuring that no other
          PRINCIPAL C can tamper with M, and B means to verify that no
          tampering has occurred.  (Section 5.4.7)

   2.  The method defined MUST enable interoperability with non-XMPP
       messaging systems that support the Common Presence and Instant
       Messaging (CPIM) specifications published by the Instant
       Messaging and Presence (IMPP) Working Group.  Two corollaries of
       this requirement are:

       *  Prior to signing and/or encrypting, the format of an instant
          message MUST conform to the CPIM Message Format defined in
          [MSGFMT].

       *  Prior to signing and/or encrypting, the format of presence
          information MUST conform to the CPP Presence Information Data
          Format defined in [PIDF].

   3.  The method MUST follow the required procedures (including the
       specific algorithms) defined in [CPIM] and [CPP].  In particular,
       these documents specify:

       *  Signing MUST use [SMIME] signatures with [CMS] SignedData.

       *  Encryption MUST use [SMIME] encryption with [CMS]
          EnvelopeData.

   4.  In order to enable interoperable implementations, sending and
       receiving applications MUST implement the algorithms specified
       under Mandatory-to-Implement Cryptographic Algorithms (Section
       6.10).



Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   We further stipulate that the following functionality is out of scope
   for this memo:

   o  Discovery of support for this protocol.  An entity could discover
      whether another entity supports this protocol by (1) attempting to
      send signed or encrypted stanzas and receiving an error stanza
      ("technical" discovery) or a textual message in reply ("social"
      discovery) if the protocol is not supported, or (2) using a
      dedicated service discovery protocol, such as [DISCO] or [CAPS].
      However, the definition of a service discovery protocol is out of
      scope for this memo.

   o  Signing or encryption of XMPP groupchat messages, which are
      mentioned in [XMPP-IM] but not defined therein since they are not
      required by [IMP-REQS]; such messages are best specified in [MUC].

   o  Signing or encryption of broadcasted presence as described in
      [XMPP-IM] (the methods defined herein apply to directed presence
      only).

   o  Signing or encryption of communications that occur within the
      context of applications other than instant messaging and presence
      as those are described in [IMP-MODEL] and [IMP-REQS].

3.  Securing Messages

3.1.  Process for Securing Messages

   In order to sign and/or encrypt a message, a sending agent MUST use
   the following procedure:

   1.  Generate a "Message/CPIM" object as defined in [MSGFMT].

   2.  Sign and/or encrypt both the headers and content of the
       "Message/CPIM" object as specified in Requirement 3 of Section 2
       above.

   3.  Provide the resulting signed and/or encrypted object within an
       XML CDATA section (see Section 2.7 of [XML]) contained in an
        child of a  stanza, where the  element is
       qualified by the 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-e2e' namespace as
       specified more fully in Section 9 below.

3.2.  Example of a Signed Message

   The following example illustrates the defined steps for signing a
   message.




Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                     [Page 4]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   First, the sending agent generates a "Message/CPIM" object in
   accordance with the rules and formats specified in [MSGFMT].

   Example 1: Sender generates "Message/CPIM" object:

   |   Content-type: Message/CPIM
   |
   |   From: Juliet Capulet 
   |   To: Romeo Montague 
   |   DateTime: 2003-12-09T11:45:36.66Z
   |   Subject: Imploring
   |
   |   Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
   |   Content-ID: <1234567890@example.com>
   |
   |   Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

   Once the sending agent has generated the "Message/CPIM" object, the
   sending agent may sign it.  The result is a multipart [SMIME] object
   (see [MULTI]) that has a Content-Type of "multipart/signed" and
   includes two parts: one whose Content-Type is "Message/CPIM" and
   another whose Content-Type is "application/pkcs7-signature".





























Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   Example 2: Sender generates multipart/signed object:

   |   Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary=next;
   |                 micalg=sha1;
   |                 protocol=application/pkcs7-signature
   |
   |   --next
   |   Content-type: Message/CPIM
   |
   |   From: Juliet Capulet 
   |   To: Romeo Montague 
   |   DateTime: 2003-12-09T23:45:36.66Z
   |   Subject: Imploring
   |
   |   Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
   |   Content-ID: <1234567890@example.com>
   |
   |   Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
   |   --next
   |   Content-Type: application/pkcs7-signature
   |   Content-Disposition: attachment;handling=required;\
   |                                   filename=smime.p7s
   |
   |   [signed body part]
   |
   |   --next--

   The sending agent now wraps the "multipart/signed" object in an XML
   CDATA section, which is contained in an  element that is
   included as a child element of the XMPP message stanza and that is
   qualified by the 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-e2e' namespace.




















Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   Example 3: Sender generates XMPP message stanza:

   |   
   |     
   |   
   |   To: Romeo Montague 
   |   DateTime: 2003-12-09T23:45:36.66Z
   |   Subject: Imploring
   |
   |   Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
   |   Content-ID: <1234567890@example.com>
   |
   |   Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
   |   --next
   |   Content-Type: application/pkcs7-signature
   |   Content-Disposition: attachment;handling=required;\
   |                                   filename=smime.p7s
   |
   |   [signed body part]
   |
   |   --next--
   |   ]]>
   |     
   |   


3.3.  Example of an Encrypted Message

   The following example illustrates the defined steps for encrypting a
   message.

   First, the sending agent generates a "Message/CPIM" object in
   accordance with the rules and formats specified in [MSGFMT].










Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   Example 4: Sender generates "Message/CPIM" object:

   |   Content-type: Message/CPIM
   |
   |   From: Juliet Capulet 
   |   To: Romeo Montague 
   |   DateTime: 2003-12-09T11:45:36.66Z
   |   Subject: Imploring
   |
   |   Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
   |   Content-ID: <1234567890@example.com>
   |
   |   Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

   Once the sending agent has generated the "Message/CPIM" object, the
   sending agent may encrypt it.

   Example 5: Sender generates encrypted object:

   |   U2FsdGVkX19okeKTlLxa/1n1FE/upwn1D20GhPWqhDWlexKMUKYJInTWzERP+vcQ
   |   /OxFs40uc9Fx81a5/62p/yPb/UWnuG6SR6o3Ed2zwcusDImyyz125HFERdDUMBC9
   |   Pt6Z4cTGKBmJzZBGyuc3Y+TMBTxqFFUAxeWaoxnZrrl+LP72vwbriYc3KCMxDbQL
   |   Igc1Vzs5/5JecegMieNY24SlNyX9HMFRNFpbI64vLxYEk55A+3IYbZsluCFT31+a

   |   i08lEHzyll6htuEr59ZDAw==

   The sending agent now wraps the encrypted object in an XML CDATA
   section, which is contained in an  element that is included as
   a child element of the XMPP message stanza and that is qualified by
   the 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-e2e' namespace.

   Example 6: Sender generates XMPP message stanza:

   |   
   |     
   |   
   |     
   |

4.  Securing Presence

4.1.  Process for Securing Presence Information

   In order to sign and/or encrypt presence information, a sending agent
   MUST use the following procedure:

   1.  Generate an "application/pidf+xml" object as defined in [PIDF].
   2.  Sign and/or encrypt the "application/pidf+xml" object as
       specified in Requirement 3 of Section 2 above.
   3.  Provide the resulting signed and/or encrypted object within an
       XML CDATA section (see Section 2.7 of [XML]) contained in an
        child of a  stanza, where the  element is
       qualified by the 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-e2e' namespace. The
        stanza MUST include a 'to' attribute, i.e., it must
       be an instance of directed presence as defined in [XMPP-IM].

4.2.  Example of Signed Presence Information

   The following example illustrates the defined steps for signing
   presence information.

   First, the sending agent generates an "application/pidf+xml" object
   in accordance with the rules and formats specified in [PIDF].

   Example 7: Sender generates "application/pidf+xml" object:

   |   
   |   
   |     
   |         open
   |         away
   |       
   |       retired to the chamber
   |       2003-12-09T23:53:11.31
   |     
   |   

   Once the sending agent has generated the "application/pidf+xml"
   object, the sending agent may sign it.  The result is a multipart
   [SMIME] object (see [MULTI]) that has a Content-Type of
   "multipart/signed" and includes two parts: one whose Content-Type is
   "application/pidf+xml" and another whose Content-Type is
   "application/pkcs7-signature".

   Example 8: Sender generates multipart/signed object:

   |   Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary=next;
   |                 micalg=sha1;
   |                 protocol=application/pkcs7-signature
   |
   |   --next
   |   Content-type: application/pidf+xml
   |   Content-ID: <2345678901@example.com>
   |
   |   
   |   
   |     
   |       open
   |         away
   |       
   |       retired to the chamber
   |       2003-12-09T23:53:11.31Z
   |     
   |   
   |   --next
   |   Content-Type: application/pkcs7-signature
   |   Content-Disposition: attachment;handling=required;\
   |                                   filename=smime.p7s
   |
   |   [signed body part]
   |
   |   --next--

   The sending agent now wraps the "multipart/signed" object in an XML
   CDATA section, which is contained in an  element that is
   included as a child element of the XMPP message stanza and that is
   qualified by the 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-e2e' namespace.

   |       
   |       retired to the chamber
   |       2003-12-09T23:53:11.31Z
   |     
   |   
   |   --next
   |   Content-Type: application/pkcs7-signature
   |   Content-Disposition: attachment;handling=required;\
   |                                   filename=smime.p7s
   |
   |   [signed body part]
   |
   |   --next--
   |   ]]>
   |

4.3.  Example of Encrypted Presence Information

   The following example illustrates the defined steps for encrypting
   presence information.

   First, the sending agent generates an "application/pidf+xml" object
   in accordance with the rules and formats specified in [PIDF].

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   Example 10: Sender generates "application/pidf+xml" object:

   |   
   |   
   |     
   |         open
   |         away
   |       
   |       retired to the chamber
   |       2003-12-09T23:53:11.31
   |     
   |   

   Once the sending agent has generated the "application/pidf+xml"
   object, the sending agent may encrypt it.

   The sending agent now wraps the encrypted object in an XML CDATA
   section, which is contained in an  element that is included as
   a child element of the XMPP message stanza and that is qualified by
   the 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-e2e' namespace.

5.  Securing Arbitrary XMPP Data

   The foregoing sections of this memo describe how to secure "least
   common denominator" messaging and presence data of the kind that can
   be directly translated into the MSGFMT or PIDF formats.  However,
   XMPP possesses a third base-level stanza type () in addition to
    and , as well as the ability to include
   extended XML data within arbitrary child elements of the three core
   stanza types.  Therefore, it would be desirable to secure such data
   if possible.

   Because [MSGFMT] specifies the ability to encapsulate any MIME type,
   the approach taken in this memo is to include arbitrary XMPP data in
   an XML media type named "application/xmpp+xml" as specified more
   fully in Section 10 below.

   The following examples illustrate the structure of the
   "application/xmpp+xml" MIME type.  (Note: The
   'http://jabber.org/protocol/evil' namespace used in these examples is
   associated with an April Fool's protocol written to be the instant
   messaging equivalent of RFC 3514; it is included only as an instance
   of extended information included in an XML stanza and should not be
   taken seriously as a functional XMPP extension.)

   Example 13: Message stanza with extended data contained in
   "application/xmpp+xml" MIME type:

   |   
   |   
   |     
   |       
   |         I told him what I thought, and told no more
   |         Than what he found himself was apt and true.
   |       
   |       
   |     
   |   

   Example 14: Presence stanza with extended data contained in
   "application/xmpp+xml" MIME type:

   |   
   |   
   |     
   |       dnd
   |       Fomenting dissension
   |

   |       
   |         Stabber
   |         666

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   Just as with the "Message/CPIM" and "application/pidf+xml" objects,
   the "application/xmpp+xml" object would be signed and/or encrypted,
   then encapsulated within an XML CDATA section (see Section 2.7 of
   [XML]) contained in an  child of a  stanza, where
   the  element is qualified by the
   'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-e2e' namespace.

6.  Rules for S/MIME Generation and Handling

6.1.  Certificate Enrollment

   [SMIME] does not specify how to obtain a certificate from a
   certificate authority, but instead mandates that every sending agent
   must already have a certificate.  The PKIX Working Group has, at the
   time of this writing, produced two separate standards for certificate
   enrollment: [CMP] and [CMC].  Which method to use for certificate
   enrollment is outside the scope of this memo.

6.2.  Certificate Retrieval

   A receiving agent MUST provide some certificate retrieval mechanism
   in order to gain access to certificates for recipients of digital
   envelopes.  This memo does not address how S/MIME agents handle
   certificates, only what they do after a certificate has been
   validated or rejected.  S/MIME certification issues are covered in
   [CERT].

   However, at a minimum, for initial S/MIME deployment, a user agent
   SHOULD automatically generate a message to an intended recipient
   requesting that recipient's certificate in a signed return message.
   Receiving and sending agents SHOULD also provide a mechanism to allow
   a user to "store and protect" certificates for correspondents in such
   a way so as to guarantee their later retrieval.

6.3.  Certificate Names

   End-entity certificates used by XMPP entities in the context of this
   memo SHOULD contain a valid instant messaging and presence address.
   The address SHOULD be specified as both an 'im:' URI (for instant
   messaging, as defined in [CPIM]) and a 'pres:' URI (for presence, as
   defined in [CPP]); each of these URIs SHOULD be specified in a
   separate GeneralName entry of type uniformResourceIdentifier inside
   the subjectAltName (i.e., two separate entries).  Information in the
   subject distinguished name SHOULD be ignored.

   Each URI MUST be of the form  or , where
   the "address" portion is an XMPP address (also referred to as a
   Jabber Identifier or JID) as defined in [XMPP-CORE], prepended with



Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                    [Page 15]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   the 'im:' or 'pres:' URI scheme.  The address SHOULD be of the form
    (i.e., a "bare JID"), although any valid JID form MAY
   be used.

   The value of the JID contained in the XMPP 'from' attribute MUST
   match a JID provided in the signer's certificate, with the exception
   that the resource identifier portion of the JID contained in the
   'from' attribute SHOULD be ignored for matching purposes.

   Receiving agents MUST check that the sending JID matches a JID
   provided in the signer's certificate, with the exception that the
   resource identifier portion of the JID contained in the 'from'
   attribute SHOULD be ignored for matching purposes.  A receiving agent
   SHOULD provide some explicit alternate processing of the stanza if
   this comparison fails, which may be to display a message informing
   the recipient of the addresses in the certificate or other
   certificate details.

   The subject alternative name extension is used in S/MIME as the
   preferred means to convey the instant messaging and presence address
   that corresponds to the entity for this certificate.  Any XMPP
   address present in the certificate MUST be encoded using the ASN.1
   Object Identifier "id-on-xmppAddr" as specified in Section 5.1.1 of
   [XMPP-CORE].

6.4.  Transfer Encoding

   Because it is expected that XMPP applications will not interface with
   older 7-bit systems, the transfer encoding (as defined in Section
   3.1.2 of [SMIME]) MUST be "binary".

6.5.  Order of Signing and Encrypting

   If a stanza is both signed and encrypted, it SHOULD be signed first,
   then encrypted.

6.6.  Inclusion of Certificates

   If the sender and recipient are involved in an active messaging
   session over a period of time, the sending agent SHOULD include the
   sender's certificate along with at least one encrypted message stanza
   every five minutes.  Outside the context of an active messaging
   session, the sending agent SHOULD include the sender's certificate
   along with each encrypted message stanza.  A sending agent MAY
   include the sender's certificate along with each encrypted presence
   stanza.  However, a sending agent SHOULD NOT include a certificate
   more than once every five minutes.




Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                    [Page 16]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


6.7.  Attachment and Checking of Signatures

   Sending agents SHOULD attach a signature to each encrypted XML
   stanza.  If a signature is attached, a Content-Disposition header
   field (as defined in [DISP]) SHOULD be included to specify how the
   signature is to be handled by the receiving application.

   If the receiving agent determines that the signature attached to an
   encrypted XML stanza is invalid, it SHOULD NOT present the stanza to
   the intended recipient (human or application), SHOULD provide some
   explicit alternate processing of the stanza (which may be to display
   a message informing the recipient that the attached signature is
   invalid), and MAY return a stanza error to the sender as described
   under Recipient Error Handling (Section 7).

6.8.  Decryption

   If the receiving agent is unable to decrypt the encrypted XML stanza,
   it SHOULD NOT present the stanza to the intended recipient (human or
   application), SHOULD provide some explicit alternate processing of
   the stanza (which may be to display a message informing the recipient
   that it has received a stanza that cannot be decrypted), and MAY
   return a stanza error to the sender as described under Recipient
   Error Handling (Section 7).

6.9.  Inclusion and Checking of Timestamps

   Timestamps are included in "Message/CPIM" and "application/pidf+xml"
   objects to help prevent replay attacks.  All timestamps MUST conform
   to [DATETIME] and be presented as UTC with no offset, including
   fractions of a second as appropriate.  Absent a local adjustment to
   the sending agent's perceived time or the underlying clock time, the
   sending agent MUST ensure that the timestamps it sends to the
   receiver increase monotonically (if necessary by incrementing the
   seconds fraction in the timestamp if the clock returns the same time
   for multiple requests).  The following rules apply to the receiving
   application:

   o  It MUST verify that the timestamp received is within five minutes
      of the current time.

   o  It SHOULD verify that the timestamp received is greater than any
      timestamp received in the last 10 minutes which passed the
      previous check.







Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                    [Page 17]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   o  If any of the foregoing checks fails, the timestamp SHOULD be
      presented to the receiving entity (human or application) marked as
      "old timestamp", "future timestamp", or "decreasing timestamp",
      and the receiving entity MAY return a stanza error to the sender
      as described under Recipient Error Handling (Section 7).

6.10.  Mandatory-to-Implement Cryptographic Algorithms

   All implementations MUST support the following algorithms.
   Implementations MAY support other algorithms as well.

   For CMS SignedData:

   o  The SHA-1 message digest as specified in [CMS-ALG] section 2.1.

   o  The RSA (PKCS #1 v1.5) with SHA-1 signature algorithm, as
      specified in [CMS-ALG] section 3.2.

   For CMS EnvelopedData:

   o  The RSA (PKCS #1 v1.5) key transport, as specified in [CMS-ALG]
      section 4.2.1.

   o  The AES-128 encryption algorithm in CBC mode, as specified in
      [CMS-AES].

7.  Recipient Error Handling

   When an XMPP entity receives an XML stanza containing data that is
   signed and/or encrypted using the protocol described herein, several
   scenarios are possible:

   Case #1: The receiving application does not understand the protocol.

   Case #2: The receiving application understands the protocol and is
      able to decrypt the payload and verify the sender's signature.

   Case #3: The receiving application understands the protocol and is
      able to decrypt the payload and verify the sender's signature, but
      the timestamps fail the checks specified above under Checking of
      Timestamps (Section 6.9).

   Case #4: The receiving application understands the protocol and is
      able to decrypt the payload but is unable to verify the sender's
      signature.

   Case #5: The receiving application understands the protocol but is
      unable to decrypt the payload.



Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                    [Page 18]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   In Case #1, the receiving application MUST do one and only one of the
   following: (1) ignore the  extension, (2) ignore the entire
   stanza, or (3) return a  error to the sender,
   as described in [XMPP-CORE].

   In Case #2, the receiving application MUST NOT return a stanza error
   to the sender, since this is the success case.

   In Case #3, the receiving application MAY return a 
   error to the sender (as described in [XMPP-CORE]), optionally
   supplemented by an application-specific error condition element
    as shown below:

   Example 16: Recipient returns  error:

   
     
     [CDATA section here]
     
     
       
       
     
   

   In Case #4, the receiving application SHOULD return a
    error to the sender (as described in [XMPP-CORE]),
   optionally supplemented by an application-specific error condition
   element  as shown below:

   Example 17: Recipient returns  error:

   
     
     [CDATA section here]
     
     
       
       
     
   

   In Case #5, the receiving application SHOULD return a 
   error to the sender (as described in [XMPP-CORE]), optionally
   supplemented by an application-specific error condition element
    as shown below:

8.  Secure Communications Through a Gateway

   A common method for achieving interoperability between two disparate
   services is through the use of a "gateway" that interprets the
   protocols of each service and translates them into the protocols of
   the other.  The CPIM specifications (specifically [MSGFMT] and [PIDF]
   define the common profiles to be used for interoperability between
   instant messaging and presence services that comply with [IMP-REQS].
   In the case of communications between an XMPP service and a non-XMPP
   service, we can visualize this relationship as follows:

   +-------------+        +-------------+        +------------+
   |             |        |             |        |            |
   |    XMPP     |        |  XMPP-CPIM  |        |  Non-XMPP  |
   |   Service   | <----> |   Gateway   | <----> |  Service   |
   |             |        |             |        |            |
   +-------------+        +-------------+        +------------+

   The end-to-end encryption method defined herein enables the exchange
   of encrypted and/or signed instant messages and presence through an
   XMPP-CPIM gateway.  In particular:

   o  When a gateway receives a secured XMPP message or presence stanza
      from the XMPP service that is addressed to a user on the non-XMPP
      service, it MUST remove the XMPP "wrapper" (everything down to and
      including the  and  tags) in order to reveal the
      multipart S/MIME object, then route the object to the non-XMPP
      service (first wrapping it in the protocol used by the non-XMPP
      service if necessary).










Saint-Andre                 Standards Track                    [Page 20]

RFC 3923                        XMPP E2E                    October 2004


   o  When a gateway receives a secured non-XMPP instant message or
      presence document from the non-XMPP service that is addressed to a
      user on the XMPP service, it MUST remove the non-XMPP "wrapper"
      (if any) in order to reveal the multipart S/MIME object, wrap the
      object in an XMPP message or presence "wrapper" (including the
       and  tags), and then route the XMPP stanza to the XMPP
      service.

   The wrapped S/MIME object MUST be immutable and MUST NOT be modified
   by an XMPP-CPIM gateway.

9.  urn:ietf:params:xml:xmpp-e2e Namespace

   The  element is a
   wrapper for an XML CDATA section (see Section 2.7 of [XML]) that
   contains a "Message/CPIM", "application/pidf+xml", or
   "application/xmpp+xml" object.  Thus the
   'urn:ietf:params:xml:xmpp-e2e' namespace has no inherent semantics,
   and the semantics of the encapsulated object are defined by one of
   the following specifications:

   o  [MSGFMT] for "Message/CPIM"
   o  [PIDF] for "application/pidf+xml"
   o  [XMPP-CORE] for "application/xmpp+xml"

   Although the "application/xmpp+xml" media type is specified in this
   document, the  element is simply a wrapper for a ,
   , or  stanza, where the semantics of those stanza
   types are specified in [XMPP-CORE].

   Given that the 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-e2e' namespace has no
   inherent semantics and specifies a using protocol only, versioning is
   the responsibility of the protocols that define the encapsulated
   objects ([MSGFMT], [PIDF], and [XMPP-CORE]).

10.  application/xmpp+xml Media Type

   The "application/xmpp+xml" media type adheres to the guidelines
   specified in [XML-MEDIA].  The root element for this MIME type is
   , and the root element MUST contain one and only one child
   element, corresponding to one of the XMPP stanza types (i.e.,
   message, presence, or iq) if the default namespace is 'jabber:client'
   or 'jabber:server' as defined in [XMPP-CORE].  The character encoding
   for this XML media type MUST be UTF-8, in accordance with Section
   11.5 of [XMPP-CORE].

11.  Security Considerations

   This entire memo discusses security.  Detailed security
   considerations for instant messaging and presence protocols are given
   in [IMP-REQS] (Sections 5.1 through 5.4), and for XMPP in particular
   are given in [XMPP-CORE] (Sections 12.1 through 12.6).  In addition,
   all of the security considerations specified in [XML-MEDIA] apply to
   the "application/xmpp+xml" media type.

   The end-to-end security method defined here MAY result in exchanging
   secured instant messages and presence information through a gateway
   that implements the CPIM specifications.  Such a gateway MUST be
   compliant with the minimum security requirements of the instant
   messaging and presence protocols with which it interfaces.

12.  IANA Considerations
