 *Contract Exchange WG Charter (formally TX). *

 In accordance with the OpenID Foundation IPR policies and procedures this
 note proposes the formation of a new working group chartered to produce an
 OpenID specification.  As per Section 4.1 of the Policies, the specifics of
 the proposed working group are:


 *Proposal*:

 (a)  *Charter*.

  (i)  *WG name*:  Contract Exchange WG (formally Trust Exchange Extension
 (TX))

  (ii)  *Purpose*:  The purpose of this WG is to produce a series of
 standard OpenID extension to the OpenID Authentication protocol that enable
 s arbitrary parties to create and exchange a mutually-digitally-signed
 legally binding contract that are  both broadband and mobile friendly by
 defining appropriate bindings for each use case.

 For this purpose, (1) public key exchange, (2) signed request and response
 based on the public keys, (3) content encryption based on public key, (4)
 extensible data transfer method, (5) contract format, (6) notification
 methods for asynchronous communications are needed to be defined. For this
 purpose, this WG will explorer the possibility of using/extending OpenID
 Attribute Exchange [AX] as well as defining new extensions where it may fit.



  (iii)  *Scope*:

 Scope of the work

-Development of the specifications including:


- Public Key Exchange method
   - A Public Key Cryptography based digital signature method.
   - Legally binding contract format.
   - Query/response communication protocols for establishing and
   canceling of the contract.
   - Message Encryption method to be used for the relevant
   communications.
   - Notification interface for asynchronous communications.
   - Possible extension and profiling of [AX] to accommodate the above.

   - Provisions for long term storage of the contracts.
   - Conformance requirements for other data transfer protocol bindings


- Security, threats and Risk analysis


- Perform Security Risk analysis and profiles for best practice

  Out of scope

- Term negotiation: Actual negotiation of the terms of a contract
should be dealt with out-of-band or by other specifications.
- Assurance programs or other identity governance frameworks.
- It is the intent that this specification be usable by any trust
community, whether it uses conventional PKI hierarchies, peer-to-peer trust
mechanisms, reputation systems, or other forms of trust assurance. The
specification of any particular trust root, trust hierarchy, or trust 
 policy
is explicitly out of scope.


  (iv)  *Proposed* List of Specifications:  Sries of specs encompassing the
 above requirements. The actual spec may happened to be just an expansion of
 AX or several news specs as it will be determined in the WG. Expected
 completion of the first iteration is in Q1 2009.

  (v)  *Anticipated audience or users of the work*:  Implementers of OpenID
 Providers and Relying Parties, especially those who require security and
 accountability features to exchange sensitive customer information (e.g.
 personally identifiable information and credit card numbers) responsibly
 among trusted parties.

  (vi)  *Language* in which the WG will conduct business:  English.

  (vii)  *Method of work*:  E-mail discussions on the working group mailing
 list, working group conference calls, and possibly face-to-face meetings at
 conferences.

  (viii)  *Basis for determining when the work of the WG is completed*:
 Drafts will be evaluated on the basis of whether they increase or decrease
 consensus within the working group.  The work will be completed once it is
 apparent that maximal consensus on the drafts has been achieved, consistent
 with the purpose and scope.

 (b)  *Background Information*.

OpenID/Oauth hybrid [was Re: specs Digest, Vol 27, Issue 3]

2008-11-13 Thread Allen Tom

Hi Yariv,

In the registered consumer case, the SP will need the Consumer Key to 
show the Approval page. Previous versions of the spec had the Request 
Token in the OpenID Authentication request, which allowed the SP to 
derive the Consumer Key from the Request Token. At the IIW, we had 
discussed somehow tying the Association Handle to the Consumer Key.


Regardless of the solution, the SP will need to be know the Consumer Key 
in order to properly identify the OAuth Consumer when displaying the 
Approval page. The OpenID Realm is not quite sufficient, at least for 
SPs which require consumers to pre-register for a CK.


One possible optimization would be to just use the Consumer Key as the 
OpenID Association Handle, and Consumer Secret as the OpenID 
Association. The Consumer can just sign the OpenID Auth request using 
its CK/CS and the OP can return a pre-approved response token in the 
OpenID assertion. The Consumer can then exchange the response token for 
the OAuth Access Token/ ATS.


Thoughts?

 In accordance with the OpenID Foundation IPR policies and procedures

proposes the
formation of a new working group chartered to produce an OpenID
specification.
As per Section 4.1 of the Policies, the specifics of the proposed

group are:

Background Information:
OpenID has always been focused on how to enable
user-authentication within
the browser.  Over the last year, OAuth has been developed to allow
authorization either from within a browser, desktop software, or
mobile
devices.  Obviously there has been interest in using OpenID and OAuth
together allowing a user to share their identity as well as grant
a Relying
Party access to an OAuth protected resource in a single step.  A
small group
of people have been working on developing an extension to OpenID
which makes
this possible in a collaborative fashion within
http://code.google.com/p/step2/.  This small project includes a
draft spec
and Open Source implementations which the proposers would like to
finalize
within the OpenID Foundation.


Working Group Name:
OpenID OAuth Hybrid Working Group


Purpose:
Produce a standard OpenID extension to the OpenID Authentication
protocol
that provides a mechanism to embed an OAuth approval request into
an OpenID
authentication request to permit combined user approval. The extension
addresses the use case where the OpenID Provider and OAuth Service
Provider
are the same service. To provide good user experience, it is
important to
present a combined authentication and authorization screen for the two
protocols.


Scope:
Standardize the draft Hybrid Protocol (

http://step2.googlecode.com/svn/spec/openid_oauth_extension/drafts/0/openid_oauth_extension.html)
as an official OpenID Extension describing how to combine an OpenID
authentication request with the approval of an OAuth request token.


Anticipated Contributions:
Draft specification referenced above and various text
contributions as more
developers implement it.


Proposed List of Specifications:
OpenID OAuth Extension 1.0. Spec completion by Q4 2008.


Anticipated audience or users of the work:
 - OpenID Providers and

I don't think this is true - I believe the realm is sufficient. Let me try
and explain. (We'll assume registered consumers.) On the approval page, we
need to identify the consumer. In its current form, the spec basically
assumes that you're gonna use the realm for that.

Let's assume that The Bad Guy somehow managed to sneak a misleading realm
into a request, i.e. the user sees the realm on the login page and clicks
approve when he wouldn't have approved had he known the real identity of
The Bad Guy.

The OP embeds, in the request token, the realm to which the request token
was issued.

Later, when The Bad Guy tries to exchange the request token for an access
token, it won't work, b/c The Bad Guy only has access to his own consumer
secret, which doesn't match the realm embedded in the request token.

So we _do_ have a binding from the request token to the consumer key, it's
just enforced later, not at approval time.

Does this make sense, or am I missing something?

Dirk.




 One possible optimization would be to just use the Consumer Key as the
 OpenID Association Handle, and Consumer Secret as the OpenID Association.

Actually, I wasn't assuming that. At access token request time, you follow
the map from consumer-key to realm (that's the direction you can do, right)?
If that's a many-to-one map then this will give you one realm. Then you
check whether that's the realm that the request token was issued to.

The one thing you're losing is that you can't, at approval time, figure out
whether that realm is requesting a scope that they have access to. So a
realm could ask for a certain scope in their auth request, the user approves
it, and then at access-token-request time, you won't issue the token b/c
they're using a CK that doesn't have enough privileges. It's still secure,
but gives you a crappy user experience if the consumer mixes up their CKs.

Wait - I think I have an idea: what if the Yahoo-specific way of requesting
the scope is to include the CK into the openid.oauth.scope parameter? That
way, you can at approval time make sure that they are requesting a scope
that they are actually authorized to pick up. This wouldn't be for security
purposes - just as a way to make sure the user experience isn't surprising.

You think it makes sense, or that I'm missing something? :-) Anyway, are
those two applications that have nothing to do with each other? If so, then
they're probably not going to share a realm. After all, which application
are we logging the user into?

If it's the case that Allen is bringing up, and this is really the same
application just using different consumer keys for different purposes, then
I think we're fine - a mapping from consumer key to (one) realm should
suffice.

Yes, I can see how that would happen.

So how about for OPs who tie scope to Consumer Keys, their
openid.oauth.scope syntax would look something like this:

openid.oauth.scope=consumer_key:scope1,scope2,scope3

Or, if there is a one-to-one mapping from consumer_key to scope, simply like
this:

openid.oauth.scope=consumer_key

 You're assuming that a realm has only one CK. A site might have multiple
 consumer keys, with different scopes attached to them...


 Actually, I wasn't assuming that. At access token request time, you follow
 the map from consumer-key to realm (that's the direction you can do, right)?
 If that's a many-to-one map then this will give you one realm. Then you
 check whether that's the realm that the request token was issued to.

 The one thing you're losing is that you can't, at approval time, figure out
 whether that realm is requesting a scope that they have access to. So a
 realm could ask for a certain scope in their auth request, the user approves
 it, and then at access-token-request time, you won't issue the token b/c
 they're using a CK that doesn't have enough privileges. It's still secure,
 but gives you a crappy user experience if the consumer mixes up their CKs.

 Wait - I think I have an idea: what if the Yahoo-specific way of requesting
 the scope is to include the CK into the openid.oauth.scope parameter? That
 way, you can at approval time make sure that they are requesting a scope
 that they are actually authorized to pick up. This wouldn't be for security
 purposes - just as a way to make sure the user experience isn't surprising.

 In the unregistered consumer case, the OpenID association request could be

Adding OAuth signature methods, including RSA-SHA1, to OpenID 2.1 is 
supposed to happen. It is probably not a good idea to return RSA keys 
via association requests for unregistered consumers though.

Ok, but what is wrong for you to instruct the developers to insert the
consumer_key in the scope parameter, and they bind it to the approved
request token?

Since each OAuth SP has defined scope differently, they will have to
look it up what to put in the scope anyway.

Re: OpenID/Oauth hybrid [was Re: specs Digest, Vol 27, Issue 3]

2008-11-13 Thread Breno de Medeiros
I changed my mind on this one.

A. The fact that scopes are not standardized in OAuth today does not
mean that in the future *some* scopes (e.g., related to portable
contacts) may be standardized.

B. The consumer key is an intrinsic identifier of the party requesting
association and probably should be included, with the realm, in the
association request (if available).

There is no need, however, to include any additional information in
the authentication request. The consumer key can be bound to the
association handle.


On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 6:43 PM, Allen Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 In the future, we might update our OAuth service to allow developers to pass
 us the scope dynamically, rather than binding the scope to the CK. However,
 we'd still probably require developers to agree to a TOS in order to get a
 CK/CS.

 I'm concerned about having to tell developers to pass the CK via the scope
 parameter for the first revision, and then later telling them that scope
 parameter actually means the scope. I'd like to have one parameter (possibly
 optional) that means CK, and another parameter (also optional) that means
 Scope. Overloading a single parameter can get really messy in the long run.
