Table of Contents

1. Introduction and Overview

This specification defines how a stream of Security Event Tokens (SETs) [RFC8417] can be transmitted to an intended SET Recipient using HTTP [RFC7231] over TLS. The specification defines a method to poll for SETs using HTTP POST. This is an alternative SET delivery method to the one defined in [I-D.ietf-secevent-http-push].

A mechanism for exchanging configuration metadata such as endpoint URLs and cryptographic key parameters between the transmitter and recipient is out of scope for this specification. How SETs are defined and the process by which security events are identified for SET Recipients are specified in [RFC8417].

1.1. Notational Conventions

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.

Throughout this document, all figures MAY contain spaces and extra line wrapping for readability and due to space limitations.

1.2. Definitions

This specification utilizes terminology defined in [RFC8417] and [I-D.ietf-secevent-http-push].

2. SET Delivery

When a SET is available for a SET Recipient, the SET Transmitter attempts to deliver the SET by queueing the SET in a buffer so that a SET Recipient can poll for SETs using HTTP/1.1 POST.

In Poll-Based SET Delivery Using HTTP, zero or more SETs are delivered in a JSON [RFC8259] document to a SET Recipient in response to an HTTP POST request to the SET Transmitter. Then in a following request, the SET Recipient acknowledges received SETs and can poll for more. All requests and responses are JSON documents and use a Content-Type of application/json, as described in Section 2.1.

After successful (acknowledged) SET delivery, SET Transmitters are not required to retain or record SETs for retransmission. Once a SET is acknowledged, the SET Recipient SHALL be responsible for retention, if needed.

Upon receiving a SET, the SET Recipient reads the SET and validates it in the manner described in Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-secevent-http-push]. The SET Recipient MUST acknowledge receipt to the SET Transmitter. The SET Recipient SHALL NOT use the event acknowledgement mechanism to report event errors other than those relating to the parsing and validation of the SET.

2.1. Polling Delivery using HTTP

This method allows a SET Recipient to use HTTP POST (Section 4.3.3 of [RFC7231]) to acknowledge SETs and to check for and receive zero or more SETs. Requests MAY be made at a periodic interval (short polling) or requests MAY wait, pending availability of new SETs using long polling, per Section 2 of [RFC6202].

The delivery of SETs in this method is facilitated by HTTP POST requests initiated by the SET Recipient in which:

The purpose of the acknowledgement is to inform the SET Transmitter that delivery has succeeded and redelivery is no longer required. Before acknowledgement, SET Recipients SHOULD ensure that received SETs have been validated and retained in a manner appropriate to the recipient's requirements. The level and method of retention of SETs by SET Recipients is out of scope of this specification.

2.2. Polling HTTP Request

When initiating a poll request, the SET Recipient constructs a JSON document that consists of polling request parameters and SET acknowledgement parameters in the form of JSON objects. The request payloads are delivered in a JSON document, as described in Section 2.4 and Section 2.5.

When making a request, the HTTP header Content-Type is set to application/json.

The following JSON object members are used in a polling request:

Request Processing Parameters
maxEvents

An OPTIONAL JSON integer value indicating the maximum number of unacknowledged SETs that SHOULD be returned. If more than the maximum number of SETs are available, the oldest SETs available SHOULD be returned first. A value of 0 MAY be used by SET Recipients that would like to perform an acknowledge only request. This enables the Recipient to use separate HTTP requests for acknowledgement and reception of SETs. If this parameter is omitted, no limit is placed on the number of SETs to be returned.
returnImmediately

An OPTIONAL JSON boolean value that indicates the SET Transmitter SHOULD return an immediate response even if no results are available (short polling). The default value is false, which indicates the request is to be treated as an HTTP Long Poll, per Section 2 of [RFC6202]. The timeout for the request is part of the configuration between the participants, which is out of scope of this specification.
SET Acknowledgment Parameters
ack

A JSON array of strings whose values are the jti values of successfully received SETs that are being acknowledged. If there are no outstanding SETs to acknowledge, this member is omitted. When acknowledging a SET, the SET Transmitter is released from any obligation to retain the SET.
setErrs

A JSON object with one or more members whose keys are the jti values of invalid SETs received. The values of these objects are themselves JSON objects that describe the errors detected using the err and description values specified in Section 2.6. If there are no outstanding SETs with errors to return, this member is omitted.

2.3. Polling HTTP Response

In response to a poll request, the SET Transmitter checks for available SETs and responds with a JSON document containing the following JSON object members:

sets

A JSON object that contains zero or more nested JSON objects. Each nested JSON object's key corresponds to the jti of a SET to be delivered, and its value is a JSON string containing the value of the encoded corresponding SET. If there are no outstanding SETs to be transmitted, the JSON object SHALL be empty.
moreAvailable

A JSON boolean value that indicates if more unacknowledged SETs are available to be returned.

When making a response, the HTTP header Content-Type is set to application/json.

2.4. Poll Request

The SET Recipient performs an HTTP POST (see Section 4.3.4 of [RFC7231]) to a pre-arranged polling endpoint URI to check for SETs that are available. Because the SET Recipient has no prior SETs to acknowledge, the ack and setErrs request parameters are omitted.

After a period of time configured between the SET Transmitter and Recipient, a SET Transmitter MAY redeliver SETs it has previously delivered. The SET Recipient SHOULD accept repeat SETs and acknowledge the SETs regardless of whether the Recipient believes it has already acknowledged the SETs previously. A SET Transmitter MAY limit the number of times it attempts to deliver a SET.

If the SET Recipient has received SETs from the SET Transmitter, the SET Recipient SHOULD parse and validate received SETs to meet its own requirements and SHOULD acknowledge receipt in a timely fashion (e.g., seconds or minutes) so that the SET Transmitter can mark the SETs as received. SET Recipients SHOULD acknowledge receipt before taking any local actions based on the SETs to avoid unnecessary delay in acknowledgement, where possible.

Poll requests have three variations:

Poll Only

In which a SET Recipient asks for the next set of events where no previous SET deliveries are acknowledged (such as in the initial poll request).
Acknowledge Only

In which a SET Recipient sets the maxEvents value to 0 along with ack and setErrs members indicating the SET Recipient is acknowledging previously received SETs and does not want to receive any new SETs in response to the request.
Combined Acknowledge and Poll

In which a SET Recipient is both acknowledging previously received SETs using the ack and setErrs members and will wait for the next group of SETs in the SET Transmitters response.

2.4.1. Poll Only Request

In the case where no SETs were received in a previous poll (see Figure 7), the SET Recipient simply polls without acknowledgement parameters (ack and setErrs).

The following is an example request made by a SET Recipient that has no outstanding SETs to acknowledge and is polling for available SETs at the endpoint https://nofity.exampleidp.com/Events:

POST /Events HTTP/1.1
Host: notify.exampleidp.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
 "returnImmediately": true
}

Figure 1: Example Initial Poll Request

A SET Recipient can poll using default parameter values by passing an empty JSON object.

The following is a non-normative example default poll request to the endpoint https://nofity.exampleidp.com/Events:

POST /Events HTTP/1.1
Host: notify.exampleidp.com
Content-Type: application/json

{}

Figure 2: Example Default Poll Request

2.4.2. Acknowledge Only Request

In this variation, the SET Recipient acknowledges previously received SETs and indicates it does not want to receive SETs in response by setting the maxEvents value to 0.

This variation might be used, for instance, when a SET Recipient needs to acknowledge received SETs independently (e.g., on separate threads) from the process of receiving SETs.

The following is a non-normative example poll request with acknowledgement of SETs received (for example as shown in Figure 6):

POST /Events HTTP/1.1
Host: notify.exampleidp.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "ack": [
    "4d3559ec67504aaba65d40b0363faad8",
    "3d0c3cf797584bd193bd0fb1bd4e7d30"
  ],
  "maxEvents": 0,
  "returnImmediately": true
}

Figure 3: Example Acknowledge Only Request

2.4.3. Poll with Acknowledgement

This variation allows a recipient thread to simultaneously acknowledge previously received SETs and wait for the next group of SETs in a single request.

The following is a non-normative example poll with acknowledgement of the SETs received in Figure 6:

POST /Events HTTP/1.1
Host: notify.exampleidp.com
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "ack": [
    "4d3559ec67504aaba65d40b0363faad8",
    "3d0c3cf797584bd193bd0fb1bd4e7d30"
  ],
  "returnImmediately": false
}

Figure 4: Example Poll with Acknowledgement and No Errors

In the above acknowledgement, the SET Recipient has acknowledged receipt of two SETs and has indicated it wants to wait until the next SET is available.

2.4.4. Poll with Acknowledgement and Errors

In the case where errors were detected in previously delivered SETs, the SET Recipient MAY use the setErrs member to communicate the errors in the following poll request.

The following is a non-normative example of a response acknowledging one successfully received SET and one SET with an error from the two SETs received in Figure 6:

POST /Events HTTP/1.1
Host: notify.exampleidp.com
Content-Language: en-US
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "ack": ["3d0c3cf797584bd193bd0fb1bd4e7d30"],
  "setErrs": {
    "4d3559ec67504aaba65d40b0363faad8": {
      "err": "jwtAud",
      "description": "The audience value was invalid."
    }
  },
  "returnImmediately": true
}

Figure 5: Example Poll Acknowledgement with Error

2.5. Poll Response

In response to a valid poll request, the service provider MAY respond immediately if SETs are available to be delivered. If no SETs are available at the time of the request, the SET Transmitter SHALL delay responding until a SET is available or the timeout interval has elapsed unless the poll request parameter returnImmediately is true.

As described in Section 2.3, a JSON document is returned containing a number of members including sets, which SHALL contain zero or more SETs.

The following is a non-normative example response to the request shown in Section 2.4. This example shows two SETs being returned:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
"sets": {
  "4d3559ec67504aaba65d40b0363faad8":

Figure 6: Example Poll Response

In the above example, two SETs whose jti values are 4d3559ec67504aaba65d40b0363faad8 and 3d0c3cf797584bd193bd0fb1bd4e7d30 are delivered.

The following is a non-normative example response to the request shown in Section 2.4, which indicates that no new SETs or unacknowledged SETs are available:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
 "sets": {}
}

Figure 7: Example No SETs Poll Response

Upon receiving the JSON document (e.g., as shown in Figure 6), the SET Recipient parses and verifies the received SETs and notifies the SET Transmitter of successfully received SETs and SETs with errors via the next poll request to the SET Transmitter, as described in Section 2.4.3 or Section 2.4.4.

2.5.1. Poll Error Response

In the event of a general HTTP error condition in the context of processing a poll request, the service provider SHOULD respond with an appropriate HTTP Response Status Code as defined in Section 6 of [RFC7231].

Service providers MAY respond to any invalid poll request with an HTTP Response Status Code of 400 (Bad Request) even when a more specific code might apply, for example if the service provider deemed that a more specific code presented an information disclosure risk. When no more specific code might apply, the service provider SHALL respond to an invalid poll request with an HTTP Status Code of 400.

The response body for responses to invalid poll requests is left undefined.

The following is a non-normative example of a response to an invalid poll request:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

Example Poll Error Response

2.6. Error Response Handling

If a SET is invalid, error codes from the IANA "Security Event Token Delivery Error Codes" registry established by [I-D.ietf-secevent-http-push] are used in error responses. As described in Section 2.3 of [I-D.ietf-secevent-http-push], an error response is a JSON object providing details about the error that includes the following name/value pairs:

err

A value from the IANA "Security Event Token Delivery Error Codes" registry that identifies the error.
description

A human-readable string that provides additional diagnostic information.

When included as part of a batch of SETs, the above JSON is included as part of the setErrs member, as defined in Section 2.3 and Section 2.4.4.

When the SET Recipient includes one or more error responses in a request to the SET Transmitter, it must also include in the request a Content-Language header whose value indicates the language of the error descriptions included in the request. The method of language selection in the case when the SET Recipient can provide error messages in multiple languages is out of scope for this specification.

3. Authentication and Authorization

The SET delivery method described in this specification is based upon HTTP and depends on the use of TLS and/or standard HTTP authentication and authorization schemes, as per [RFC7235].

As per Section 4.1 of [RFC7235], a SET delivery endpoint SHALL indicate supported HTTP authentication schemes via the WWW-Authenticate header.

Authorization for the ability to pick-up or deliver SETs can be determined by using the identity of the SET issuer, or via other employed authentication methods. Among other benefits, authentication can help prevent denial-of-service attacks. Because SETs are not commands, SET Recipients are free to ignore SETs that are not of interest after acknowledging their receipt.

4. Security Considerations

4.1. Authentication Using Signed SETs

In scenarios where HTTP authorization or TLS mutual authentication are not used or are considered weak, JWS signed SETs SHOULD be used (see [RFC7515] and Section 5 of [RFC8417]). This enables the SET Recipient to validate that the SET issuer is authorized to deliver the SET.

4.2. HTTP Considerations

SET delivery depends on the use of Hypertext Transfer Protocol and is thus subject to the security considerations of HTTP Section 9 of [RFC7230] and its related specifications.

As stated in Section 2.7.1 of [RFC7230], an HTTP requestor MUST NOT generate the userinfo (i.e., username and password) component (and its "@" delimiter) when an "http" URI reference is generated with a message, as they are now disallowed in HTTP.

4.3. Confidentiality of SETs

SETs may contain sensitive information that is considered Personally Identifiable Information (PII). In such cases, SET Transmitters and SET Recipients MUST protect the confidentiality of the SET contents by encrypting the SET as described in JWE [RFC7516], using a transport-layer security mechanism such as TLS, or both. If an Event delivery endpoint supports TLS, it MUST support at least TLS version 1.2 [RFC5246] and SHOULD support the newest version of TLS that meets its security requirements. When using TLS, the client MUST perform a TLS/SSL server certificate check, per [RFC6125]. Implementation security considerations for TLS can be found in "Recommendations for Secure Use of TLS and DTLS" [RFC7525].

4.4. Access Token Considerations

When using access tokens, such as those issued by OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749], implementers MUST take into account threats and countermeasures documented in Section 8 of [RFC7521].

4.4.1. Bearer Token Considerations

Due to the possibility of interception, Bearer tokens MUST be exchanged using TLS.

Bearer tokens SHOULD have a limited lifetime that can be determined directly or indirectly (e.g., by checking with a validation service) by the service provider. By expiring tokens, clients are forced to obtain a new token (which usually involves re-authentication) for continued authorized access. For example, in OAuth 2.0, a client MAY use an OAuth refresh token to obtain a new bearer token after authenticating to an authorization server, per Section 6 of [RFC6749].

Implementations supporting OAuth bearer tokens need to factor in security considerations of this authorization method [RFC7521]. Since security is only as good as the weakest link, implementers also need to consider authentication choices coupled with OAuth bearer tokens. The security considerations of the default authentication method for OAuth bearer tokens, HTTP Basic, are well documented in [RFC7617], therefore implementers are encouraged to prefer stronger authentication methods. Designating the specific methods of authentication and authorization are out of scope for the delivery of SETs, however this information is provided as a resource to implementers.

5. Privacy Considerations

If a SET needs to be retained for audit purposes, a JWS signature MAY be used to provide verification of its authenticity.

SET Transmitters SHOULD attempt to deliver SETs that are targeted to the specific business and protocol needs of subscribers.

When sharing personally identifiable information or information that is otherwise considered confidential to affected users, SET Transmitters and Recipients MUST have the appropriate legal agreements and user consent or terms of service in place.

The propagation of subject identifiers can be perceived as personally identifiable information. Where possible, SET Transmitters and Recipients SHOULD devise approaches that prevent propagation, for example, the passing of a hash value that requires the subscriber to already know the subject.

6. IANA Considerations

This specification requires no IANA actions.
