Introduction HTTP clients need to know that the content they receive on a connection comes from the origin that they intended to retrieve it from. The traditional form of server authentication in HTTP has been in the form of a single X.509 certificate provided during the TLS ([RFC5246], [RFC8446]) handshake. Many existing HTTP [RFC7230] servers also have authentication requirements for the resources they serve. Of the bountiful authentication options available for authenticating HTTP requests, client certificates present a unique challenge for resource-specific authentication requirements because of the interaction with the underlying TLS layer. TLS 1.2 [RFC5246] supports one server and one client certificate on a connection. These certificates may contain multiple identities, but only one certificate may be provided. Many HTTP servers host content from several origins. HTTP/2 permits clients to reuse an existing HTTP connection to a server provided that the secondary origin is also in the certificate provided during the TLS handshake. In many cases, servers choose to maintain separate certificates for different origins but still desire the benefits of a shared HTTP connection. Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 1.1. Server Certificate Authentication Section 9.1.1 of [RFC7540] describes how connections may be used to make requests from multiple origins as long as the server is authoritative for both. A server is considered authoritative for an origin if DNS resolves the origin to the IP address of the server and (for TLS) if the certificate presented by the server contains the origin in the Subject Alternative Names field. [RFC7838] enables a step of abstraction from the DNS resolution. If both hosts have provided an Alternative Service at hostnames which resolve to the IP address of the server, they are considered authoritative just as if DNS resolved the origin itself to that address. However, the server's one TLS certificate is still required to contain the name of each origin in question. [RFC8336] relaxes the requirement to perform the DNS lookup if already connected to a server with an appropriate certificate which claims support for a particular origin. Servers which host many origins often would prefer to have separate certificates for some sets of origins. This may be for ease of certificate management (the ability to separately revoke or renew them), due to different sources of certificates (a CDN acting on behalf of multiple origins), or other factors which might drive this administrative decision. Clients connecting to such origins cannot currently reuse connections, even if both client and server would prefer to do so. Because the TLS SNI extension is exchanged in the clear, clients might also prefer to retrieve certificates inside the encrypted context. When this information is sensitive, it might be advantageous to request a general-purpose certificate or anonymous ciphersuite at the TLS layer, while acquiring the "real" certificate in HTTP after the connection is established. 1.2. Client Certificate Authentication For servers that wish to use client certificates to authenticate users, they might request client authentication during or immediately after the TLS handshake. However, if not all users or resources need certificate-based authentication, a request for a certificate has the unfortunate consequence of triggering the client to seek a certificate, possibly requiring user interaction, network traffic, or other time-consuming activities. During this time, the connection is stalled in many implementations. Such a request can result in a poor experience, particularly when sent to a client that does not expect the request. Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 The TLS 1.3 CertificateRequest can be used by servers to give clients hints about which certificate to offer. Servers that rely on certificate-based authentication might request different certificates for different resources. Such a server cannot use contextual information about the resource to construct an appropriate TLS CertificateRequest message during the initial handshake. Consequently, client certificates are requested at connection establishment time only in cases where all clients are expected or required to have a single certificate that is used for all resources. Many other uses for client certificates are reactive, that is, certificates are requested in response to the client making a request. 1.2.1. HTTP/1.1 Using TLS 1.2 and Earlier In HTTP/1.1, a server that relies on client authentication for a subset of users or resources does not request a certificate when the connection is established. Instead, it only requests a client certificate when a request is made to a resource that requires a certificate. TLS 1.2 [RFC5246] accommodates this by permitting the server to request a new TLS handshake, in which the server will request the client's certificate. Figure 1 shows the server initiating a TLS-layer renegotiation in response to receiving an HTTP/1.1 request to a protected resource. Client Server -- (HTTP) GET /protected -------------------> *1 <---------------------- (TLS) HelloRequest -- *2 -- (TLS) ClientHello -----------------------> <------------------ (TLS) ServerHello, ... -- <---------------- (TLS) CertificateRequest -- *3 -- (TLS) ..., Certificate ------------------> *4 -- (TLS) Finished --------------------------> <-------------------------- (TLS) Finished -- <--------------------------- (HTTP) 200 OK -- *5 Figure 1: HTTP/1.1 reactive certificate authentication with TLS 1.2 In this example, the server receives a request for a protected resource (at *1 on Figure 1). Upon performing an authorization check, the server determines that the request requires authentication using a client certificate and that no such certificate has been provided. Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 The server initiates TLS renegotiation by sending a TLS HelloRequest (at *2). The client then initiates a TLS handshake. Note that some TLS messages are elided from the figure for the sake of brevity. The critical messages for this example are the server requesting a certificate with a TLS CertificateRequest (*3); this request might use information about the request or resource. The client then provides a certificate and proof of possession of the private key in Certificate and CertificateVerify messages (*4). When the handshake completes, the server performs any authorization checks a second time. With the client certificate available, it then authorizes the request and provides a response (*5). 1.2.2. HTTP/1.1 Using TLS 1.3 TLS 1.3 [RFC8446] introduces a new client authentication mechanism that allows for clients to authenticate after the handshake has been completed. For the purposes of authenticating an HTTP request, this is functionally equivalent to renegotiation. Figure 2 shows the simpler exchange this enables. Client Server -- (HTTP) GET /protected -------------------> <---------------- (TLS) CertificateRequest -- -- (TLS) Certificate, CertificateVerify, Finished -----------------------> <--------------------------- (HTTP) 200 OK -- Figure 2: HTTP/1.1 reactive certificate authentication with TLS 1.3 TLS 1.3 does not support renegotiation, instead supporting direct client authentication. In contrast to the TLS 1.2 example, in TLS 1.3, a server can simply request a certificate. 1.2.3. HTTP/2 An important part of the HTTP/1.1 exchange is that the client is able to easily identify the request that caused the TLS renegotiation. The client is able to assume that the next unanswered request on the connection is responsible. The HTTP stack in the client is then able to direct the certificate request to the application or component that initiated that request. This ensures that the application has the right contextual information for processing the request. In HTTP/2, a client can have multiple outstanding requests. Without some sort of correlation information, a client is unable to identify which request caused the server to request a certificate. Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 Thus, the minimum necessary mechanism to support reactive certificate authentication in HTTP/2 is an identifier that can be use to correlate an HTTP request with a request for a certificate. Since streams are used for individual requests, correlation with a stream is sufficient. [RFC7540] prohibits renegotiation after any application data has been sent. This completely blocks reactive certificate authentication in HTTP/2 using TLS 1.2. If this restriction were relaxed by an extension or update to HTTP/2, such an identifier could be added to TLS 1.2 by means of an extension to TLS. Unfortunately, many TLS 1.2 implementations do not permit application data to continue during a renegotiation. This is problematic for a multiplexed protocol like HTTP/2. 1.3. HTTP-Layer Certificate Authentication This draft defines HTTP/2 frames to carry the relevant certificate messages, enabling certificate-based authentication of both clients and servers independent of TLS version. This mechanism can be implemented at the HTTP layer without breaking the existing interface between HTTP and applications above it. This could be done in a naive manner by replicating the TLS messages as HTTP/2 frames on each stream. However, this would create needless redundancy between streams and require frequent expensive signing operations. Instead, TLS Exported Authenticators [I-D.ietf-tls-exported-authenticator] are exchanged on stream zero and other frames incorporate them to particular requests by reference as needed. TLS Exported Authenticators are structured messages that can be exported by either party of a TLS connection and validated by the other party. Given an established TLS connection, a request can be constructed which describes the desired certificate and an authenticator message can be constructed proving possession of a certificate and a corresponding private key. Both requests and authenticators can be generated by either the client or the server. Exported Authenticators use the message structures from Sections 4.3.2 and 4.4 of [RFC8446], but different parameters. Each Authenticator is computed using a Handshake Context and Finished MAC Key derived from the TLS session. The Handshake Context is identical for both parties of the TLS connection, while the Finished MAC Key is dependent on whether the Authenticator is created by the client or the server. Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 Successfully verified Authenticators result in certificate chains, with verified possession of the corresponding private key, which can be supplied into a collection of available certificates. Likewise, descriptions of desired certificates can be supplied into these collections. Section 2 describes how the feature is employed, defining means to detect support in peers (Section 2.1), make certificates and requests available (Section 2.2), and indicate when streams are blocked waiting on an appropriate certificate (Section 2.3). Section 3 defines the required frame types, which parallel the TLS 1.3 message exchange. Finally, Section 4 defines new error types which can be used to notify peers when the exchange has not been successful. 1.4. Terminology 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. 2. Discovering Additional Certificates at the HTTP/2 Layer A certificate chain with proof of possession of the private key corresponding to the end-entity certificate is sent as a sequence of "CERTIFICATE" frames (see Section 3.4) on stream zero. Once the holder of a certificate has sent the chain and proof, this certificate chain is cached by the recipient and available for future use. Clients can proactively indicate the certificate they intend to use on each request using an unsolicited "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame, if desired. The previously-supplied certificates are available for reference without having to resend them. Otherwise, the server uses a "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame to describe a class of certificates on stream zero, then uses "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames to associate these with individual requests. The client responds with a "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame indicating the certificate which should be used to satisfy the request. Data sent by each peer is correlated by the ID given in each frame. This ID is unrelated to values used by the other peer, even if each uses the same ID in certain cases. "USE_CERTIFICATE" frames indicate whether they are sent proactively or are in response to a "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame. Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 2.1. Indicating Support for HTTP-Layer Certificate Authentication Clients and servers that will accept requests for HTTP-layer certificate authentication indicate this using the HTTP/2 "SETTINGS_HTTP_CLIENT_CERT_AUTH" (0xSETTING-TBD1) and "SETTINGS_HTTP_SERVER_CERT_AUTH" (0xSETTING-TBD2) settings. The initial value for both settings is 0, indicating that the peer does not support HTTP-layer certificate authentication. If a peer does support HTTP-layer certificate authentication, one or both of the values is non-zero. "SETTINGS_HTTP_CLIENT_CERT_AUTH" indicates that servers can use certificates for client authentication, while "SETTINGS_HTTP_SERVER_CERT_AUTH" indicates that servers are able to offer additional certificates to demonstrate control over other origin hostnames. In order to ensure that the TLS connection is direct to the server, rather than via a TLS-terminating proxy, each side will separately compute and confirm the value of these settings. The setting values are derived from a TLS exporter (see Section 7.5 of [RFC8446] and [RFC5705] for more details on exporters). Clients MUST NOT use an early exporter during their 0-RTT flight, but MUST send an updated SETTINGS frame using a regular exporter after the TLS handshake completes. The exporter is constructed with the following input: o Label: * "EXPORTER HTTP CERTIFICATE client" for clients * "EXPORTER HTTP CERTIFICATE server" for servers o Context: Empty o Length: Eight bytes The value of the exporter is split into two four-byte values. The first four bytes are used for the "SETTINGS_HTTP_CLIENT_CERT_AUTH" value, while the following four bytes are used for the "SETTINGS_HTTP_SERVER_CERT_AUTH" value. Each is converted to a setting value as: Exporter fragment | 0x80000000 That is, the most significant bit will always be set, regardless of the value of the exporter. Each endpoint will compute the expected Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 values from their peer. If the setting is not received, or if the value received is not the expected value, the frames defined in this document SHOULD NOT be sent in the indicated direction. 2.2. Making Certificates or Requests Available When both peers have advertised support for HTTP-layer certificates in a given direction as in Section 2.1, the indicated endpoint can supply additional certificates into the connection at any time. That is, if both endpoints have sent "SETTINGS_HTTP_SERVER_CERT_AUTH" and validated the value received from the peer, the server may send certificates. If both endpoints have sent "SETTINGS_HTTP_CLIENT_CERT_AUTH" and validated the value received from the peer, the client may send certificates. Implementations which predict a certificate will be required could supply the certificate before being asked. These certificates are available for reference by future "USE_CERTIFICATE" frames. Certificates supplied by servers can be considered by clients without further action by the server. A server SHOULD NOT send certificates which do not cover origins which it is prepared to service on the current connection, but MAY use the ORIGIN frame [RFC8336] to indicate that not all covered origins will be served. Certificates supplied by clients MUST NOT be considered by servers when processing a request unless the client explicitly authorizes their use. Clients MAY send "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame with the "UNSOLICITED" flag set to indicate that an available certificate should be considered on a new request. Client Server <------------------ (stream 0) CERTIFICATE -- ... -- (stream N) GET /from-new-origin ---------> <----------------------- (stream N) 200 OK -- Figure 3: Proactive server authentication Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 10] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 Client Server -- (stream 0) CERTIFICATE ------------------> -- (stream 0) USE_CERTIFICATE (S=1) --------> -- (stream 0) USE_CERTIFICATE (S=3) --------> -- (streams 1,3) GET /protected ------------> <-------------------- (streams 1,3) 200 OK -- Figure 4: Proactive client authentication Likewise, a party can supply a "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" that outlines parameters of a certificate they might request in the future. Upon receipt of a "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST", endpoints SHOULD provide a corresponding certificate in anticipation of a request shortly being blocked. Clients MAY wait for a "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame to assist in associating the certificate request with a particular HTTP transaction. 2.3. Requiring Certificate Authentication 2.3.1. Requiring Additional Server Certificates As defined in [RFC7540], when a client finds that an https:// origin (or Alternative Service [RFC7838]) to which it needs to make a request has the same IP address as a server to which it is already connected, it MAY check whether the TLS certificate provided contains the new origin as well, and if so, reuse the connection. If the TLS certificate does not contain the new origin, but the server has claimed support for that origin (with an ORIGIN frame, see [RFC8336]) and advertised support for HTTP-layer server certificates (see Section 2.1), the client MAY send a "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame describing the desired origin. The client then sends a "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame for stream zero referencing the request, indicating that the connection cannot be used for that origin until the certificate is provided. If the server does not have the desired certificate, it MUST send an Empty Authenticator, as described in Section 5 of [I-D.ietf-tls-exported-authenticator], in a "CERTIFICATE" frame in response to the request, followed by a "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame for stream zero which references the Empty Authenticator. If a server has not advertised support for HTTP-layer certificates, fails to provide a requested certificate, or provides a certificate which is unacceptable to the client, the client MUST NOT send any requests for resources in that origin on the current connection. The Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 11] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 client MAY open a new connection in an effort to reach an authoritative server. Client Server <----------------------- (stream 0) ORIGIN -- -- (stream 0) CERTIFICATE_REQUEST ----------> -- (stream 0) CERTIFICATE_NEEDED (S=0) -----> <------------------ (stream 0) CERTIFICATE -- <-------- (stream 0) USE_CERTIFICATE (S=0) -- -- (stream N) GET /from-new-origin ---------> <----------------------- (stream N) 200 OK -- Figure 5: Client-requested certificate If a client receives a "PUSH_PROMISE" referencing an origin for which it has not yet received the server's certificate, this is a stream error on the push stream; see section 8.2 of [RFC7540]. To avoid this, servers MUST supply the associated certificates before pushing resources from a different origin. 2.3.2. Requiring Additional Client Certificates Likewise, the server sends a "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame for each stream where certificate authentication is required. The client answers with a "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame indicating the certificate to use on that stream. If the request parameters or the responding certificate are not already available, they will need to be sent as described in Section 2.2 as part of this exchange. Client Server <---------- (stream 0) CERTIFICATE_REQUEST -- ... -- (stream N) GET /protected ---------------> <----- (stream 0) CERTIFICATE_NEEDED (S=N) -- -- (stream 0) CERTIFICATE ------------------> -- (stream 0) USE_CERTIFICATE (S=N) --------> <----------------------- (stream N) 200 OK -- Figure 6: Reactive certificate authentication If the client does not have the desired certificate, it instead sends an Empty Authenticator, as described in Section 5 of [I-D.ietf-tls-exported-authenticator], in a "CERTIFICATE" frame in response to the request, followed by a "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame which references the Empty Authenticator. If the client has not advertised support for HTTP-layer certificates, fails to provide a requested certificate, or provides a certificate Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 12] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 the server is unable to verify, the server processes the request based solely on the certificate provided during the TLS handshake, if any. This might result in an error response via HTTP, such as a status code 403 (Not Authorized). 3. Certificates Frames for HTTP/2 The "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" and "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames are correlated by their "Request-ID" field. Subsequent "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames with the same "Request-ID" value MAY be sent for other streams where the sender is expecting a certificate with the same parameters. The "CERTIFICATE", and "USE_CERTIFICATE" frames are correlated by their "Cert-ID" field. Subsequent "USE_CERTIFICATE" frames with the same "Cert-ID" MAY be sent in response to other "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames and refer to the same certificate. "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" and "USE_CERTIFICATE" frames are correlated by the Stream ID they reference. Unsolicited "USE_CERTIFICATE" frames are not responses to "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames; otherwise, each "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame for a stream is considered to respond to a "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame for the same stream in sequence. +---------+ +---------+ | REQUEST | | CERT | +---------+ +---------+ | | | Request-ID | Cert-ID | | v v +---------+ Stream ID +---------+ | NEEDED |---------->| USE | +---------+ +---------+ Figure 7: Frame correlation "Request-ID" and "Cert-ID" are independent and sender-local. The use of the same value by the other peer or in the other context does not imply any correlation between these frames. These values MUST be unique per sender for each space over the lifetime of the connection. 3.1. The CERTIFICATE_NEEDED Frame The "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame (0xFRAME-TBD1) is sent on stream zero to indicate that the HTTP request on the indicated stream is blocked pending certificate authentication. The frame includes stream ID and a request identifier which can be used to correlate the stream with a Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 previous "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame sent on stream zero. The "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" describes the certificate the sender requires to make progress on the stream in question. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |R| Stream ID (31) | +-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | Request-ID (16) | +-------------------------------+ Figure 8: CERTIFICATE_NEEDED frame payload The "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame contains 6 octets. The first four octets indicate the Stream ID of the affected stream. The following two octets are the authentication request identifier, "Request-ID". A peer that receives a "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" of any other length MUST treat this as a stream error of type "PROTOCOL_ERROR". Frames with identical request identifiers refer to the same "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST". A server MAY send multiple "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames for the same stream. If a server requires that a client provide multiple certificates before authorizing a single request, each required certificate MUST be indicated with a separate "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame, each of which MUST have a different request identifier (referencing different "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frames describing each required certificate). To reduce the risk of client confusion, servers SHOULD NOT have multiple outstanding "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames for the same stream at any given time. Clients MUST only send multiple "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames for stream zero. Multiple "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames on any other stream MUST be considered a stream error of type "PROTOCOL_ERROR". The "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame MUST NOT be sent to a client which has not advertised the "SETTINGS_HTTP_CLIENT_CERT_AUTH", or to a server which has not advertised the "SETTINGS_HTTP_SERVER_CERT_AUTH" setting. An endpoint which receives a "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame but did not advertise support MAY treat this as a connection error of type "CERTIFICATE_WITHOUT_CONSENT". The "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame MUST NOT reference a stream in the "half-closed (local)" or "closed" states [RFC7540]. A client that receives a "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame for a stream which is not in a valid state SHOULD treat this as a stream error of type "PROTOCOL_ERROR". Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 3.2. The USE_CERTIFICATE Frame The "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame (0xFRAME-TBD4) is sent on stream zero to indicate which certificate is being used on a particular request stream. The "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame defines a single flag: UNSOLICITED (0x01): Indicates that no "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame has yet been received for this stream. The payload of the "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame is as follows: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |R| Stream ID (31) | +-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | [Cert-ID (16)] | +-------------------------------+ Figure 9: USE_CERTIFICATE frame payload The first four octets indicate the Stream ID of the affected stream. The following two octets, if present, contain the two-octet "Cert-ID" of the certificate the sender wishes to use. This MUST be the ID of a certificate for which proof of possession has been presented in a "CERTIFICATE" frame. Recipients of a "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame of any other length MUST treat this as a stream error of type "PROTOCOL_ERROR". Frames with identical certificate identifiers refer to the same certificate chain. A "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame which omits the Cert-ID refers to the certificate provided at the TLS layer, if any. If no certificate was provided at the TLS layer, the stream should be processed with no authentication, likely returning an authentication-related error at the HTTP level (e.g. 403) for servers or routing the request to a new connection for clients. The "UNSOLICITED" flag MAY be set by clients on the first "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame referring to a given stream. This permits a client to proactively indicate which certificate should be used when processing a new request. When such an unsolicited indication refers to a request that has not yet been received, servers SHOULD cache the indication briefly in anticipation of the request. Receipt of more than one unsolicited "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame or an unsolicited "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame which is not the first in Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 15] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 reference to a given stream MUST be treated as a stream error of type "CERTIFICATE_OVERUSED". Each "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame which is not marked as unsolicited is considered to respond in order to the "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frames for the same stream. If a "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame is received for which a "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" frame has not been sent, this MUST be treated as a stream error of type "CERTIFICATE_OVERUSED". Receipt of a "USE_CERTIFICATE" frame with an unknown "Cert-ID" MUST result in a stream error of type "PROTOCOL_ERROR". The referenced certificate chain needs to conform to the requirements expressed in the "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" to the best of the sender's ability, or the recipient is likely to reject it as unsuitable despite properly validating the authenticator. If the recipient considers the certificate unsuitable, it MAY at its discretion either return an error at the HTTP semantic layer, or respond with a stream error [RFC7540] on any stream where the certificate is used. Section 4 defines certificate-related error codes which might be applicable. 3.3. The CERTIFICATE_REQUEST Frame The "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame (id=0xFRAME-TBD2) provides an exported authenticator request message from the TLS layer that specifies a desired certificate. This describes the certificate the sender wishes to have presented. The "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame SHOULD NOT be sent to a client which has not advertised the "SETTINGS_HTTP_CLIENT_CERT_AUTH", or to a server which has not advertised the "SETTINGS_HTTP_SERVER_CERT_AUTH" setting. The "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame MUST be sent on stream zero. A "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame received on any other stream MUST be rejected with a stream error of type "PROTOCOL_ERROR". 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | Request-ID (16) | Request (?) ... +---------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure 10: CERTIFICATE_REQUEST frame payload The frame contains the following fields: Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 16] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 Request-ID: "Request-ID" is a 16-bit opaque identifier used to correlate subsequent certificate-related frames with this request. The identifier MUST be unique in the session for the sender. Request: An exported authenticator request, generated using the "request" API described in [I-D.ietf-tls-exported-authenticator]. See Section 3.4.1 for more details on the input to this API. 3.3.1. Exported Authenticator Request Characteristics The Exported Authenticator "request" API defined in [I-D.ietf-tls-exported-authenticator] takes as input a set of desired certificate characteristics and a "certificate_request_context", which needs to be unpredictable. When generating exported authenticators for use with this extension, the "certificate_request_context" MUST contain both the two-octet Request-ID as well as at least 96 bits of additional entropy. Upon receipt of a "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame, the recipient MUST verify that the first two octets of the authenticator's "certificate_request_context" matches the Request-ID presented in the frame. The TLS library on the authenticating peer will provide mechanisms to select an appropriate certificate to respond to the transported request. TLS libraries on servers MUST be able to recognize the "server_name" extension ([RFC6066]) at a minimum. Clients MUST always specify the desired origin using this extension, though other extensions MAY also be included. 3.4. The CERTIFICATE Frame The "CERTIFICATE" frame (id=0xFRAME-TBD3) provides an exported authenticator message from the TLS layer that provides a chain of certificates, associated extensions and proves possession of the private key corresponding to the end-entity certificate. The "CERTIFICATE" frame defines two flags: TO_BE_CONTINUED (0x01): Indicates that the exported authenticator spans more than one frame. UNSOLICITED (0x02): Indicates that the exported authenticator does not contain a Request-ID. Bishop, et al.

Request-ID: "Request-ID" is an optional 16-bit opaque identifier used to correlate this exported authenticator with the request which triggered it, if any. This field is present only if the "UNSOLICITED" flag is not set. Authenticator Fragment: A portion of the opaque data returned from the TLS connection exported authenticator "authenticate" API. See Section 3.4.1 for more details on the input to this API. An exported authenticator is transported in zero or more "CERTIFICATE" frames with the "TO_BE_CONTINUED" flag set, followed by one "CERTIFICATE" frame with the "TO_BE_CONTINUED" flag unset. Each of these frames contains the same "Cert-ID" field, permitting them to be associated with each other. Receipt of any "CERTIFICATE" frame with the same "Cert-ID" following the receipt of a "CERTIFICATE" frame with "TO_BE_CONTINUED" unset MUST be treated as a connection error of type "PROTOCOL_ERROR". If the "UNSOLICITED" flag is not set, the "CERTIFICATE" frame also contains a Request-ID indicating the certificate request which caused this exported authenticator to be generated. The value of this flag and the contents of the Request-ID field MUST NOT differ between frames with the same Cert-ID. Upon receiving a complete series of "CERTIFICATE" frames, the receiver may validate the Exported Authenticator value by using the exported authenticator API. This returns either an error indicating that the message was invalid, or the certificate chain and extensions used to create the message. Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 18] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 The "CERTIFICATE" frame MUST be sent on stream zero. A "CERTIFICATE" frame received on any other stream MUST be rejected with a stream error of type "PROTOCOL_ERROR". 3.4.1. Exported Authenticator Characteristics The Exported Authenticator API defined in [I-D.ietf-tls-exported-authenticator] takes as input a request, a set of certificates, and supporting information about the certificate (OCSP, SCT, etc.). The result is an opaque token which is used when generating the "CERTIFICATE" frame. Upon receipt of a "CERTIFICATE" frame, an endpoint MUST perform the following steps to validate the token it contains: o Verify that either the "UNSOLICITED" flag is set (clients only) or that the Request-ID field contains the Request-ID of a previously- sent "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame. o Using the "get context" API, retrieve the "certificate_request_context" used to generate the authenticator, if any. Verify that the "certificate_request_context" begins with the supplied Request-ID, if any. o Use the "validate" API to confirm the validity of the authenticator with regard to the generated request (if any). If the authenticator cannot be validated, this SHOULD be treated as a connection error of type "CERTIFICATE_UNREADABLE". Once the authenticator is accepted, the endpoint can perform any other checks for the acceptability of the certificate itself. Clients MUST NOT accept any end-entity certificate from an exported authenticator which does not contain the Required Domain extension; see Section 5 and Section 6.1. 4. Indicating Failures During HTTP-Layer Certificate Authentication Because this draft permits certificates to be exchanged at the HTTP framing layer instead of the TLS layer, several certificate-related errors which are defined at the TLS layer might now occur at the HTTP framing layer. There are two classes of errors which might be encountered, and they are handled differently. Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 19] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 4.1. Misbehavior This category of errors could indicate a peer failing to follow restrictions in this document, or might indicate that the connection is not fully secure. These errors are fatal to stream or connection, as appropriate. CERTIFICATE_OVERUSED (0xERROR-TBD1): More certificates were used on a request than were requested CERTIFICATE_WITHOUT_CONSENT (0xERROR-TBD2): A CERTIFICATE_NEEDED frame was received by a peer which did not indicate support for this extension. CERTIFICATE_UNREADABLE (0xERROR-TBD3): An exported authenticator could not be validated. 4.2. Invalid Certificates Unacceptable certificates (expired, revoked, or insufficient to satisfy the request) are not treated as stream or connection errors. This is typically not an indication of a protocol failure. Servers SHOULD process requests with the indicated certificate, likely resulting in a "4XX"-series status code in the response. Clients SHOULD establish a new connection in an attempt to reach an authoritative server. 5. Required Domain Certificate Extension The Required Domain extension allows certificates to limit their use with Secondary Certificate Authentication. A client MUST verify that the server has proven ownership of the indicated identity before accepting the limited certificate over Secondary Certificate Authentication. The identity in this extension is a restriction asserted by the requester of the certificate and is not verified by the CA. Conforming CAs SHOULD mark the requiredDomain extension as non- critical. Conforming CAs MUST require the presence of a CAA record [RFC6844] prior to issuing a certificate with this extension. Because a Required Domain value of "*" has a much higher risk of reuse if compromised, conforming Certificate Authorities are encouraged to require more extensive verification prior to issuing such a certificate. The required domain is represented as a GeneralName, as specified in Section 4.2.1.6 of [RFC5280]. Unlike the subject field, conforming CAs MUST NOT issue certificates with a requiredDomain extension Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 20] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 containing empty GeneralName fields. Clients that encounter such a certificate when processing a certification path MUST consider the certificate invalid. The wildcard character "_" MAY be used to represent that any previously authenticated identity is acceptable. This character MUST be the entirety of the name if used and MUST have a type of "dNSName". (That is, "_" is acceptable, but "_.com" and "w_.example.com" are not). id-ce-requiredDomain OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ce TBD1 } RequiredDomain ::= GeneralName 6. Security Considerations This mechanism defines an alternate way to obtain server and client certificates other than in the initial TLS handshake. While the signature of exported authenticator values is expected to be equally secure, it is important to recognize that a vulnerability in this code path is at least equal to a vulnerability in the TLS handshake. 6.1. Impersonation This mechanism could increase the impact of a key compromise. Rather than needing to subvert DNS or IP routing in order to use a compromised certificate, a malicious server now only needs a client to connect to _some_ HTTPS site under its control in order to present the compromised certificate. Clients SHOULD consult DNS for hostnames presented in secondary certificates if they would have done so for the same hostname if it were present in the primary certificate. As recommended in [RFC8336], clients opting not to consult DNS ought to employ some alternative means to increase confidence that the certificate is legitimate. One such means is the Required Domain certificate extension defined in {extension}. Clients MUST require that server certificates presented via this mechanism contain the Required Domain extension and require that a certificate previously accepted on the connection (including the certificate presented in TLS) lists the Required Domain in the Subject field or the Subject Alternative Name extension. As noted in the Security Considerations of [I-D.ietf-tls-exported-authenticator], it is difficult to formally prove that an endpoint is jointly authoritative over multiple Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 21] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 certificates, rather than individually authoritative on each certificate. As a result, clients MUST NOT assume that because one origin was previously colocated with another, those origins will be reachable via the same endpoints in the future. Clients MUST NOT consider previous secondary certificates to be validated after TLS session resumption. However, clients MAY proactively query for previously-presented secondary certificates. 6.2. Fingerprinting This draft defines a mechanism which could be used to probe servers for origins they support, but opens no new attack versus making repeat TLS connections with different SNI values. Servers SHOULD impose similar denial-of-service mitigations (e.g. request rate limits) to "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frames as to new TLS connections. While the extensions in the "CERTIFICATE_REQUEST" frame permit the sender to enumerate the acceptable Certificate Authorities for the requested certificate, it might not be prudent (either for security or data consumption) to include the full list of trusted Certificate Authorities in every request. Senders, particularly clients, SHOULD send only the extensions that narrowly specify which certificates would be acceptable. Servers can also learn information about clients using this mechanism. The hostnames a user agent finds interesting and retrieves certificates for might indicate origins the user has previously accessed. 6.3. Denial of Service Failure to provide a certificate for a stream after receiving "CERTIFICATE_NEEDED" blocks processing, and SHOULD be subject to standard timeouts used to guard against unresponsive peers. Validating a multitude of signatures can be computationally expensive, while generating an invalid signature is computationally cheap. Implementations will require checks for attacks from this direction. Invalid exported authenticators SHOULD be treated as a session error, to avoid further attacks from the peer, though an implementation MAY instead disable HTTP-layer certificates for the current connection instead. 6.4. Persistence of Service CNAME records in the DNS are frequently used to delegate authority for an origin to a third-party provider. This delegation can be Bishop, et al. Expires November 15, 2020 [Page 22] Internet-Draft Secondary Cert Auth in HTTP/2 May 2020 changed without notice, even to the third-party provider, simply by modifying the CNAME record in question. After the owner of the domain has redirected traffic elsewhere by changing the CNAME, new connections will not arrive for that origin, but connections which are properly directed to this provider for other origins would continue to claim control of this origin (via ORIGIN frame and Secondary Certificates). This is proper behavior based on the third-party provider's configuration, but would likely not be what is intended by the owner of the origin. This is not an issue which can be mitigated by the protocol, but something about which third-party providers SHOULD educate their customers before using the features described in this document. 6.5. Confusion About State Implementations need to be aware of the potential for confusion about the state of a connection. The presence or absence of a validated certificate can change during the processing of a request, potentially multiple times, as "USE_CERTIFICATE" frames are received. A server that uses certificate authentication needs to be prepared to reevaluate the authorization state of a request as the set of certificates changes. 7.
