Introduction The WebSocket(WS) [RFC6455] protocol enables two-way message exchange between clients and servers on top of a persistent TCP connection, optionally secured with Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC5246]. The initial protocol handshake makes use of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) [RFC7230] semantics, allowing the WebSocket protocol to reuse existing HTTP infrastructure. The Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) is a protocol to coordinate access to shared resources in a conference. It is defined in [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] and is used between floor participants Pascual, et al. Expires August 12, 2017 [Page 2] Internet-Draft WebSocket as a Transport for BFCP February 2017 and floor control servers, and between floor chairs (i.e., moderators) and floor control servers. Modern web browsers include a WebSocket client stack complying with the WebSocket API [WS-API] as specified by the W3C. It is expected that other client applications (those running in personal computers and devices such as smartphones) will also make a WebSocket client stack available. This document extends the applicability of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] and [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4583bis] to enable the usage of BFCP in these scenarios. The transport over which BFCP entities exchange messages depends on how the clients obtain information to contact the floor control server (e.g. using an Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer/answer exchange per [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4583bis] or the procedure described in RFC5018 [RFC5018]). [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] defines two transports for BFCP: TCP and UDP. This specification defines a new WebSocket sub-protocol (as defined in Section 1.9 in [RFC6455]) for transporting BFCP messages between a WebSocket client and server. This sub-protocol provides a reliable and boundary preserving transport for BFCP when run on top of TCP. Since WebSocket provides a reliable transport, the extensions defined in [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] for sending BFCP over unreliable transports are not applicable. 2. Terminology 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]. 2.1. Definitions BFCP WebSocket Client: Any BFCP entity capable of opening outbound connections to WebSocket servers and communicating using the WebSocket BFCP sub-protocol as defined by this document. BFCP WebSocket Server: Any BFCP entity capable of listening for inbound connections from WebSocket clients and communicating using the WebSocket BFCP sub-protocol as defined by this document. 3. The WebSocket Protocol The WebSocket protocol [RFC6455] is a transport layer on top of TCP (optionally secured with TLS [RFC5246]) in which both client and server exchange message units in both directions. The protocol defines a connection handshake, WebSocket sub-protocol and extensions Pascual, et al. Expires August 12, 2017 [Page 3] Internet-Draft WebSocket as a Transport for BFCP February 2017 negotiation, a frame format for sending application and control data, a masking mechanism, and status codes for indicating disconnection causes. The WebSocket connection handshake is based on HTTP [RFC7230] and utilizes the HTTP GET method with an "Upgrade" request. This is sent by the client and then answered by the server (if the negotiation succeeded) with an HTTP 101 status code. Once the handshake is completed the connection upgrades from HTTP to the WebSocket protocol. This handshake procedure is designed to reuse the existing HTTP infrastructure. During the connection handshake, client and server agree on the application protocol to use on top of the WebSocket transport. Such an application protocol (also known as a "WebSocket sub-protocol") defines the format and semantics of the messages exchanged by the endpoints. This could be a custom protocol or a standardized one (as the WebSocket BFCP sub-protocol defined in this document). Once the HTTP 101 response is processed both client and server reuse the underlying TCP connection for sending WebSocket messages and control frames to each other. Unlike plain HTTP, this connection is persistent and can be used for multiple message exchanges. The WebSocket protocol defines message units to be used by applications for the exchange of data, so it provides a message boundary-preserving transport layer. 4. The WebSocket BFCP Sub-Protocol The term WebSocket sub-protocol refers to an application-level protocol layered on top of a WebSocket connection. This document specifies the WebSocket BFCP sub-protocol for carrying BFCP messages over a WebSocket connection. 4.1. Handshake The BFCP WebSocket Client and BFCP WebSocket Server negotiate usage of the WebSocket BFCP sub-protocol during the WebSocket handshake procedure as defined in Section 1.3 of [RFC6455]. The Client MUST include the value "BFCP" in the Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header in its handshake request. The 101 reply from the Server MUST contain "BFCP" in its corresponding Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header. Below is an example of a WebSocket handshake in which the Client requests the WebSocket BFCP sub-protocol support from the Server: Pascual, et al. Expires August 12, 2017 [Page 4] Internet-Draft WebSocket as a Transport for BFCP February 2017 GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: bfcp-ws.example.com Upgrade: websocket Connection: Upgrade Sec-WebSocket-Key: dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ== Origin: http://www.example.com Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: BFCP Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13 The handshake response from the Server accepting the WebSocket BFCP sub-protocol would look as follows: HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols Upgrade: websocket Connection: Upgrade Sec-WebSocket-Accept: s3pPLMBiTxaQ9kYGzzhZRbK+xOo= Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: BFCP Once the negotiation has been completed, the WebSocket connection is established and can be used for the transport of BFCP messages. 4.2. BFCP Encoding BFCP messages use a TLV (Type-Length-Value) binary encoding, therefore BFCP WebSocket Clients and BFCP WebSocket Servers MUST be transported in unfragmented binary WebSocket frames (FIN:1,opcode:%x2) to exchange BFCP messages. The WebSocket frame data MUST be a valid BCFP message, so the length of the payload of the WebSocket frame MUST be lower than the maximum size allowed (2^16 +12 bytes) for a BCFP message as described in [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis]. In addition, the encoding rules for reliable protocols defined in [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] MUST be followed. While this specification assumes that BFCP encoding is only TLV binary, future documents may define other mechanisms like JSON serialization. if encoding changes a new subprotocol identifier would need to be selected. Each BFCP message MUST be carried within a single WebSocket message, and a WebSocket message MUST NOT contain more than one BFCP message. 5. Transport Reliability WebSocket [RFC6455] provides a reliable transport and therefore the BFCP WebSocket sub-protocol defined by this document also provides reliable BFCP transport. Thus, client and server transactions using WebSocket for transport MUST follow the procedures for reliable Pascual, et al. Expires August 12, 2017 [Page 5] Internet-Draft WebSocket as a Transport for BFCP February 2017 transports as defined in [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] and [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4583bis]. BFCP WebSocket clients cannot receive incoming WebSocket connections initiated by any other peer. This means that a BFCP WebSocket client MUST actively initiate a connection towards a BFCP WebSocket server. The BFCP server is a will have a globally routable address and thus does not require ICE as clients always initiate connections to it. 6. SDP Considerations 6.1. Transport Negotiation Rules to generate an 'm' line for a BFCP stream are described in [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4583bis], Section 3 New values are defined for the transport field: TCP/WS/BFCP and TCP/WSS/BFCP. TCP/WS/BFCP is used when BFCP runs on top of WS, which in turn runs on top of TCP. TCP/WSS/BFCP is used when BFCP runs on top of WSS, which in turn runs on top of TLS and TCP. The port field is set following the rules in Section 3 and Section 8.1 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4583bis]. Depending on the value of the SDP 'setup' attribute defined in [RFC4145], the port field contains the port to which the remote endpoint will direct BFCP messages or is irrelevant (i.e., the endpoint will initiate the connection towards the remote endpoint) and should be set to a value of 9, which is the discard port. Connection attribute and port MUST follow the rules of [RFC4145] While this document recommends the use of secure WebSockets (i.e.TCP/ WSS) for security reasons, TCP/WS is also permitted so as to achieve maximum compatibility among clients. 6.2. SDP Media Attributes [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-sdp-ws-uri] defines a new SDP attribute to indicate the connection Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the WebSocket Client. The SDP attribute 'websocket-uri' defined in Section 3 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-sdp-ws-uri] MUST be used when BFCP runs on top of WS or WSS. When the 'websocket-uri' attribute is present in the media section of the SDP, the procedures mentioned in Section 4 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-sdp-ws-uri] MUST be followed. Pascual, et al. Expires August 12, 2017 [Page 6] Internet-Draft WebSocket as a Transport for BFCP February 2017 7. SDP Offer/Answer Procedures 7.1. General An endpoint (i.e., both the offerer and the answerer) MUST create an SDP media description ("m=" line) for each BFCP-over-WebSocket media stream and MUST assign either TCP/WSS/BFCP or TCP/WS/BFCP value to the "proto" field of the "m=" line depending on whether the endpoint wishes to use secure WebSocket or WebSocket. Furthermore, the server side, which could be either the offerer or answerer, MUST add an "a=websocket-uri" attribute in the media section depending on whether it wishes to use WebSocket or secure WebSocket. This new attribute MUST follow the syntax defined in [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-sdp-ws-uri]. Additionally, the SDP Offer/Answer procedures defined in Section 4 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-sdp-ws-uri] MUST be followed for the "m=" line associated with a BFCP-over-WebSocket media stream. 7.2. Example Usage of 'websocket-uri' SDP Attribute The following is an example of an "m=" line for a BFCP connection. In this example, the offerer sends the SDP with the "proto" field having a value of TCP/WSS/BFCP * indicating that the offerer wishes to use secure WebSocket as a transport for the media stream. Offer (browser): m=application 9 TCP/WSS/BFCP * a=setup:active a=connection:new a=floorctrl:c-only m=audio 55000 RTP/AVP 0 m=video 55002 RTP/AVP 31 Answer (server): m=application 50000 TCP/WSS/BFCP * a=setup:passive a=connection:new a=websocket-uri:wss://bfcp-ws.example.com?token=3170449312 a=floorctrl:s-only a=confid:4321 a=userid:1234 a=floorid:1 m-stream:10 a=floorid:2 m-stream:11 m=audio 50002 RTP/AVP 0 a=label:10 m=video 50004 RTP/AVP 31 a=label:11 Pascual, et al. Expires August 12, 2017 [Page 7] Internet-Draft WebSocket as a Transport for BFCP February 2017 It is possible that an endpoint (e.g., a browser) sends an offerless INVITE to the server. In such cases the server will act as SDP offerer. The server MUST assign the SDP "setup" attribute with a value of "passive". The server MUST have an "a=websocket-uri" attribute with a "ws-URI" or "wss-URI" value depending on whether the server wishes to use WebSocket or secure WebSocket. This attribute MUST follow the syntax defined in Section 3 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-sdp-ws-uri] . For BFCP application, the "proto" value in the "m=" line MUST be TCP/WSS/BFCP if WebSocket is over TLS, else it MUST be TCP/WS/BFCP. 8. Authentication Section 9 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] states that BFCP clients and floor control servers SHOULD authenticate each other prior to accepting messages, and RECOMMENDS that mutual TLS/DTLS authentication be used. However, browser-based WebSocket clients have no control over the use of TLS in the WebSocket API [WS-API], so it is RECOMMENDED that standard Web-based methods for client and server authentication are used, as follows. When a BFCP WebSocket client connects to a BFCP WebSocket server, it SHOULD use TCP/WSS as its transport. If the signaling or control protocol traffic used to set up the conference is authenticated and confidentiality and integrity protected, Secure WebSocket (WSS) MUST be used, and the floor control server MUST authenticate the client.. The WebSocket client MUST follow the procedures in [RFC7525] while setting up TLS connection with the WebSocket server. The BFCP client validates the server by means of verifying the server certificate. This means the "websocket-uri" value MUST contain a hostname. The verification process does not use a=fingerprint. A floor control server that receives a message over TCP/WS can mandate the use of TCP/WSS by generating an Error message, as described in Section 13.8 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis], with an Error code with a value of 9 (use TLS). Prior to sending BFCP requests, a BFCP WebSocket client connects to a BFCP WebSocket server and performs the connection handshake. As described in Section 3 the handshake procedure involves a HTTP GET method request from the client and a response from the server including an HTTP 101 status code. In order to authorize the WebSocket connection, the BFCP WebSocket server SHOULD inspect any cookie [RFC6265] headers present in the HTTP GET request. For many web applications the value of such a cookie is provided by the web server once the user has authenticated themselves to the web server, which could be done by many existing Pascual, et al. Expires August 12, 2017 [Page 8] Internet-Draft WebSocket as a Transport for BFCP February 2017 mechanisms. As an alternative method, the BFCP WebSocket Server could request HTTP authentication by replying to the Client's GET method request with a HTTP 401 status code. The WebSocket protocol [RFC6455] covers this usage in Section 4.1: If the status code received from the server is not 101, the WebSocket client stack handles the response per HTTP [RFC7230] procedures, in particular the client might perform authentication if it receives 401 status code. If the status code received from the server is not 101, the WebSocket client stack handles the response per HTTP [RFC7230] procedures, in particular the client might perform authentication if it receives 401 status code. The WebSocket clients are vulnerable to the attacks of basic authentication (mentioned in Section 4 of [RFC7617]) and digest authentication (mentioned in Section 5 of [RFC7616]]). To overcome some of these weakness, the WebSocket clients for example can use HTTP Origin-Bound Authentication (HOBA) mechanism mentioned in [RFC7486]. 9. Security Considerations Considerations from [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis], [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4583bis] and RFC5018 [RFC5018] apply. BFCP relies on lower-layer security mechanisms to provide replay and integrity protection and confidentiality. It is RECOMMENDED that the BFCP traffic transported over a WebSocket communication be protected by using a secure WebSocket connection (using TLS [RFC5246] over TCP). The security considerations in [RFC6455] apply for BFCP over WebSocket as well. The security model here is a typical webserver- client model where the client validates the server certificate and then connects to the server. Section 8 describes the authentication procedures between client and server. When using BFCP over websockets, the security mechanisms defined in [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] are not used. Instead, the application is required to build and rely on the security mechanisms in [RFC6455]. The rest of this section analyses the threats described in Section 14 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] when WebSocket is used as transport protocol for BFCP. An attacker attempting to impersonate a floor control server is avoided by having servers accept BFCP messages over WSS only. As with any other web connection, the clients will verify the servers certificate. The floor control WebSocket client MUST follow the Pascual, et al. Expires August 12, 2017 [Page 9] Internet-Draft WebSocket as a Transport for BFCP February 2017 procedures in [RFC7525] (including hostname verification as per Section 6.1 in [RFC7525]) while setting up TLS connection with floor control webSocket server. An attacker attempting to impersonate a floor control client is avoided by having servers accept BFCP messages over WSS only. As described in Section 10.5 of [RFC6455] the floor control server can use any client authentication mechanism and follow the steps in Section 8 of this document. Attackers may attempt to modify messages exchanged by a client and a floor control server. This can be prevented by having WSS between client and server. An attacker trying to replay the messages is prevented by having floor control servers check that messages arriving over a given WSS connection use an authorized user ID. Attackers may may eavesdrop on the network to get access to confidential information between the floor control server and a client (e.g., why a floor request was denied). In order to ensure that BFCP users are getting the level of protection that they would get using the BFCP protocol directly, applications need to have a way to control the websocket libraries to use encryption algorithms specified in Section 7 of [I-D.ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis] . Since the WebSocket API [WS-API] does not have a way to allow an application to select the encryption algorithm to be used, the protection level provided when WSS is used is limited to the underlying TLS algorithm used by WebSocket library. 10. IANA Considerations 10.1. Registration of the WebSocket BFCP Sub-Protocol This specification requests IANA to register the WebSocket BFCP sub- protocol under the "WebSocket Subprotocol Name" Registry with the following data: Subprotocol Identifier: BFCP Subprotocol Common Name: WebSocket Transport for BFCP (Binary Floor Control Protocol) Subprotocol Definition: RFCXXXX [[NOTE TO RFC EDITOR: Please change XXXX to the number assigned to this specification, and remove this paragraph on publication.]] Pascual, et al.
