Authenticated Received Chain (ARC)
draft-andersen-arc-03

Abstract

Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) permits an organization which is creating or handling email to indicate their involvement with the handling process by adding a set of cryptographically signed header fields in a manner analagous to that of DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). Assertion of responsibility is validated through a cryptographic signature and by querying the Signer’s domain directly to retrieve the appropriate public key. Changes in the message which may break DKIM, may be tracked through the ARC set of header fields.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

The development of strong domain authentication through SPF and DKIM has led to the implementation of the DMARC framework [RFC7489]. Implicit within the DMARC framework is a requirement that any intermediaries between the source system and ultimate receiver system must preserve the validity of the DKIM signature; however, there are common email practices which break the DKIM validation ([DMARC-INTEROP]). This proposal is intended to define an Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) to address the problems with the untrustworthiness of the standard Received header field sequence so that receivers can develop a more nuanced interpretation to guide any local policies related to messages which arrive with broken domain authentication.

Forgery of the Received header fields is a common tactic for bad actors. One of the goals of this proposal is to define a comparable set of trace header fields which can be relied upon by receivers in so far as all ADMD (ADministrative Management Domain) handlers of a message participate in the ARC chain.

The Authentication-Results (A-R) mechanism [RFC7601] permits the output of an email authentication evaluation process to be transmitted from the evaluating host to a consuming host that uses the information. On its own, A-R operates within a trust domain. ARC provides a protection mechanism for the data, permiting the communication to cross trust domain boundaries.

2. Requirements

The specification of the ARC framework is driven by the following high-level goals, security considerations, and practical operational requirements.

2.1. Primary Design Criteria

2.2. Out of Scope

ARC is not a trust framework. Users of the ARC header fields are cautioned against making unsubstantiated conclusions when encountering a “broken” ARC sequence.

2.3. Utility

The ARC-related set of header fields can be used (when validated) to determine the path that an email message has taken between the sending system and receiver. Subject to the cautions mentioned below under Section 9, this information can assist in determining any local policy overrides to for violations of sender domain authentication policies.

3. Terminology

This section defines terms used in the rest of the document.

The 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 [RFC2119].

Readers are encouraged to be familiar with the contents of [RFC5598], and in particular, the potential roles of intermediaries in the delivery of email.

Syntax descriptions use Augmented BNF (ABNF) [RFC5234].

4. Overview

When an email is received without a properly valildated domain author, the inability to believe the accuracy of a series of Received header fields prevents receiving systems from having a way to infer anything about the handling of the message by looking at the ADMD’s through which the message has traveled.

With the implementation of this proposal, participating ADMDs would be able to securely register their handling of an email message. If all intermediaries participate in the ARC process, then receivers will be able to rely upon the chain and make local policy decisions informed by that information.

The ARC set of header fields provides a method by which participating intermediaries can indicate the hand-offs for email messages.

5. Definition

This proposal defines three new header fields:

Collectively, these header fields form a connected set of attribution information by which receivers can identify the handling path for a message. The collective group is referred to in this document as the “ARC header [field]s” or “set of ARC header [field]s”.

Specific references to individual header fields use the header field names to distinguish such references.

The ARC header sets SHOULD be added at the top of a message as it transits MTAs that do authentication checks, so some idea of how far away the checks were done can be inferred. They are therefore considered to be a trace field as defined in [RFC5321], and all of the related definitions in that document apply.

Relative ordering of different trace header fields (the ARC sets, DKIM, Received, etc.) is unimportant for this specification. In general, trace header fields, such as ARC, SHOULD be added at the top of the email header fields, but receivers MUST be able to process the header fields from wherever they are found in the message header. Ordering amongst the individual ARC header fields and header field sets is specified below and MUST be followed for proper canonicalized signing and evaluation.

5.1. Description of the new header fields

5.1.1. ARC-Seal

ARC-Seal is a Structured Header Field as defined in Internet Message Format ([RFC5322]). All of the related definitions in that document apply.

The ARC-Seal makes use of the “tag=value” construction as defined in [RFC6376], section 3.2.

The value of the header field consists of an authentication identifier, and a series of statements and supporting data. The statements are of the form “tag=value” and indicate relevant data about the signing of the ARC set of header fields. The header field can appear more than once in a single message, but each instance must have a unique “i=” value.

The ARC-Seal header field only signs across the (earlier) ARC-Seal, (and all) ARC-Message-Signature, and ARC-Authentication-Results header fields.

5.1.1.1. Tags in the ARC-Seal header field value

5.1.1.1.1. Mandatory

5.1.1.2. Differences between DKIM-Signature and ARC-Seal

No ‘bh’ value is defined for ARC-Seal.

ARC-Seal does not use the ‘h’ list of header fields that is defined for DKIM-Signatures because the list of applicable header fields is fully determined by the construction rules (see Section 5.2).

ARC-Seal does not use the ‘c’ (canonicalization) tag because only ‘relaxed’ canonicalization [RFC6376] is allowed for ARC-Seal header field canonicalization.

5.1.1.3. Implicit ‘h’ Value for ARC-Seal

5.1.1.3.1. First instance

The ARC-Seal’s (AS(1)) effective “h” scope would be AAR(1):AMS(1):AS(1-no-b).

5.1.1.3.2. Second instance

The ARC-Seal’s (AS(2)) effective “h” scope would be AAR(1):AMS(1):AS(1):AAR(2):AMS(2):AS(2-no-b).

5.1.1.3.3. Third instance

The ARC-Seal’s (AS(3)) effective “h” scope would be AAR(1):AMS(1):AS(1):AAR(2):AMS(2):AS(2):AAR(3):AMS(3):AS(3-no-b).

5.1.1.4. Computing the ‘b’ signature value for ARC-Seal

The ARC-Seal instance with an empty ‘b’ field shall be affixed when computing the signature and the ‘b’ value added afterward just as in the procedure for DKIM-Signature calculations (section 3.5 of [RFC6376]).

Signing calculation MUST be done in bottom-up order as specified in section 5.4.2 of [RFC6376] and as illustrated above Section 5.1.1.3.

5.1.2. ARC-Message-Signature

The ARC-Message-Signature header field is a special variant of a DKIM-Signature [RFC6376], using only the relaxed header canonicalization rules specified in [RFC6376].

The ARC-Message-Signature header field can appear multiple times in a single message but each instance must have a unique “i=” value.

5.1.2.1. Differences between DKIM-Signature and ARC-Message-Signature

5.1.2.1.1. ‘h’ value

[[ Note: As of -03, the concept of implicit headers included in the signature is eliminated. ]]

5.1.2.1.1.1. Header Fields Excluded From ARC-Message-Signature ‘h’

ARC-Seal headers MUST not be included in the signing scope of any ARC-Message-Signature headers.

5.1.2.1.1.2. Header Fields Eligible For ARC-Message-Signature ‘h’

Participants may include any other header fields within the scope of the ARC-Message-Signature signature except ARC-Seal headers. In particular, all DKIM-Signature header fields are highly recommended to be included. The advice regarding headers to avoid is found in section 5.4 of [RFC6376] and should be observed for ARC-Message-Signatures just as they are for DKIM-Signature exclusion. ARC-Authentication-Results SHOULD be included explicitly within the scope of ARC-Message-Signature headers.

5.1.2.1.2. Implicit Canonicalization: ‘c’

The ARC-Message-Signature header field MUST be created using the relaxed header canonicalization rules [RFC6376]. The “c=” field MUST not be included in the ARC-Message-Signature.

5.1.2.1.3. ‘i’ value

For the ARC-Message-Signature, the ‘i’ value is the corresponding instance which matches the ‘i’ value of the related ARC-Seal (see Section 5.1.1.1.1).

5.1.2.1.4. ‘v’

‘v’ is not defined for an ARC-Message-Signature and is not allowed.

5.1.2.2. Computing the ‘b’ value for ARC-Message-Signature

The ARC-Message-Signature instance with an empty ‘b’ field shall be affixed when computing the signature and the ‘b’ value added afterward just as in the procedure for DKIM-Signature calculations (section 3.5 of [RFC6376]).

Header signing MUST be done in bottom-up order as specified in section 5.4.2 of [RFC6376].

5.1.3. ARC-Authentication-Results

ARC-Authentication-Results is a direct copy of the Authentication-Results header field [RFC7601] created for archival purposes by the each MTA outside of the trust boundary of the originating system which is contributing to the chain of ARC header fields. (See also [OAR] for a similar usage.) The corresponding instance (“i=”) value MUST be prefixed to the Authentication-Results.

The value of the header field (after removing comments) consists of an instance identifier, an authentication identifier, and then a series of statements and supporting data. The statements are of the form “method=result” and indicate which authentication method(s) were applied and their respective results. For each such statement, the supporting data can include a “reason” string and one or more “property=value” statements indicating which message properties were evaluated to reach that conclusion. The header field can appear multiple times in a single message but each instance must have a unique “i=” value.

5.1.3.1. ‘i’ value

For the ARC-Authentication-Results, the ‘i’ value is the corresponding instance which matches the ‘i’ value of the related ARC-Seal (see Section 5.1.1.1.1).

5.2. Constructing the ARC-Seal Header Set

The ARC-Seal is built in the same fashion as the analogous DKIM-Signature [RFC6376], using the relaxed header canonicalization rules specified in [RFC6376] but with a strict ordering component for the header fields which are covered by the cryptographic signature:

  1. The ARC header fields MUST be ordered in descending instance (i=) order.
  2. The referenced ARC-Message-Signatures (matching i= value) MUST immediately follow the ARC-Seal instance which included the reference.
  3. The associated ARC-Authentication-Results header field (matching i= value) MUST be the last item in the list for each set of ARC header fields.

Thus, when prefixing ARC header fields to the beginning part of the header block,

  1. the AAR header would be prefixed first; then
  2. the AMS would be calculated and prefixed;
  3. lastly the AS would be calculated and prefixed.

5.2.1. Handling Violations in the ARC Header Field Set

When ordering the ARC set header fields, if there are gross violations of this protocol, such as duplicated instance numbers, such header field set(s) shall be ordered as follows (when analyzing for validity or subsequent signing):

  1. (First) By descending order of i=
  2. (First) By descending order of t= (from the ARC-Seal header field within the set)
  3. (Finally) By ascending US-ASCII [RFC1345] sort order for the entire canonicalized header field set

The intent of specifying this ordering is to allow downstream message handlers to add their own ARC header field sets in a deterministic manner and to provide some resiliance against mis-behaving downstream MTAs. Participants who wish to have ARC information accrue to their benefit are advised to ensure proper implementation so that this section would never need to be invoked for their ARC header fields.

5.3. Key Management and Binding

The public keys for ARC-Seals follow the same requirements and semantics as those for DKIM-Signatures [RFC6376]. Operators may use distinct selectors for the ARC-Seals at their own discretion.

5.3.1. Namespace

All ARC-Seal keys are stored in the same subdomain as DKIM keys [RFC6376]: “_domainkey”. Given an ARC-Seal field with a “d=” tag of “example.com” and an “s=” tag of “foo.bar”, the DNS query will be for “foo.bar._domainkey.example.com”.

6. Usage

For a more thorough treatment of the recommended usage of the ARC header fields for both intermediaries and end receivers, please consult [ARC-USAGE].

6.1. Participation

The inclusion of additional ARC header field sets should be done whenever a trust boundary is crossed and especially when prior DKIM-Signatures may not survive the handling which is being performed (such as some mailing lists which modify the content of messages or some gateway transformations). Note that trust boundaries may or may not exactly correspond with ADMD boundaries.

Each participating ADMD MUST validate the preceding ARC set of header fields as a part of asserting their own seal. Even if the set is determined to be invalid, a participating ADMD SHOULD apply their own seal because this can help in analysis of breakage points in the chain.

6.2. Relationship between DKIM Signatures and ARC Headers

Any DKIM-Signatures SHOULD not include any of the ARC-Seal, ARC-Message-Signature, or ARC-Authentication-Results header fields in the scope of their header list.

ARC-Message-Signatures SHOULD include all DKIM-Signatures within their scope.

6.3. Relationship of ARC-Message-Signatures and ARC-Seals

The ARC-Message-Signature(s) should not include any of the ARC-Seal header fields in their coverage scope in order maintain a separation of responsibilities. When adding an ARC-Authentication-Results header field, it should be added before computing the ARC-Message-Signature. When “sealing” the message, an operator must create the ARC-Message-Signature before the ARC-Seal in order to reference it and embed the ARC-Message-Signature within the ARC-Seal signature scope. (Also refer to Section 5.2)

Each ARC-Seal is connected to its respective ARC-Message-Signature through the i= field.

6.4. Validating the ARC set of header fields

Validation of the ARC header fields can be performed step-wise by building up the sequence in order as defined in Section 5.2 and evaluating the correctness of the b= signature at each step. If a violation of the construction rules is found, for instance missing or repeated instance numbers or an otherwise invalid ARC-Seal header field, validation fails and should be indicated as ‘P’(ermanent error).

6.5. Assessing violations of ARC set validity

There are a wide variety of ways in which the ARC set of header fields can be broken. Receivers should be wary of ascribing motive to such breakage although patterns of common behaviour may provide some basis for adjusting local policy decisions.

This proposal is exclusively focused on well-behaved, participating intermediaries that result in a valid chain of ARC-related header fields. The presence of such a well-formed valid chain should also not be over-interpreted since malicious content can be easily introduced by otherwise well-intended senders through machine or account compromises. All normal content-based analysis should still be performed on any messages bearing an ARC sequence.

6.6. Reporting violations of ARC set validity

If a receiver determines that the ARC set of header fields has a permanent error, the receiver MAY signal the breakage through the extended SMTP response code 5.7.7 [RFC3463] “message integrity failure” [ENHANCED-STATUS].

The extended SMTP response code should be paired with a 550 reply code. (550 = Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable (e.g., mailbox not found, no access, or command rejected for policy reasons) [RFC5321])

6.7. Recording results of ARC evaluation

Receivers may add an “arc=pass” or “arc=fail” method annotation into their local Authentication-Results [RFC7601] header field.

6.7.1. RFC6651 Failure Reporting for ARC

Due to very limited adoption, ARC evaluation results are not recommended for failure reporting as described for DKIM in [RFC6651].

6.7.2. Reporting ARC Effects for DMARC Local Policy

Receivers SHOULD indicate situations in which ARC evaluation influenced the results of their local policy determination. Usage in the DMARC reporting may look something like (utilizing a list of the ARC participants that were found):

<policy_evaluated>
  <disposition>delivered</disposition>
  <dkim>fail</dkim>
  <spf>fail</spf>
  <reason>
   <type>local_policy</type>
   <comment>arc=pass d=d1.example,d2.example</comment>
  </reason>
</policy_evaluated>

7. Privacy Considerations

The ARC-Seal chain provides a verifiable record of the handlers for a message. Anonymous remailers will probably not find this to match their operating goals.

8. IANA Considerations

This proposal adds three new header fields as defined below.

8.1. Update to RFC7601 header field method list

This proposal adds a new method to the [RFC7601] header field: “arc=” for recording the results of the ARC header field validation.

8.2. Definitions of the ARC header fields

This proposal adds three new header fields to the “Permanent Message Header Field Registry”, as follows:

9. Security Considerations

Recipients are cautioned to treat messages bearing ARC-Seal chains with the same suspicion that they apply to all other email messages. This includes appropriate content scanning and other checks for potentially malicious content. The handlers which are identified within the ARC-Seal chain may be used to provide input to local policy engines in cases where the sending system’s DKIM-Signature does not validate.

9.1. Preventing Repurposing of ARC Headers

ARC headers can not be re-used as DKIM-Signatures because the header field names are incorporated in the signed content of both the AMS and AS header fields.

9.2. Messages Which Transit the Same ADMD More Than Once

Messages which loop in and out of an ADMD may lead to confusion about the scope of a particular set of ARC header fields. The use of coordinated instance (i=) values and the non-confusability of the ARC-Message-Signature vs. a DKIM-Signature are designed to prevent misunderstandings.
