Okay to slide our legal call on Friday out by two hours?
by Eve Maler 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

Hi folks-- Apologies, but I've been called into a meeting on Friday that will keep me from our regular legal telecon time. I can offer the hour of 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm UK/7pm CET (extra horrible for non-US people, I'm afraid), and it looks clear on the Kantara calendar. Can I get a sense of who's able to join if I move the hour? Please respond by Thursday night. I'll plan to reserve that hour for Primer/model text work regardless. Thanks! Eve (sent from my iPhone, possibly with Siri's "help": +1-425-345-6756)

Persisted claims token language
by Eve Maler 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

We're having trouble with the XML editor, so in lieu of a properly published -02, here is a proposal for some revised PCT language snippets for consideration. Latest draft is Core 01 <https://docs.kantarainitiative.org/uma/ed/uma-core-2.0-01.html>. *GENERAL ISSUES/COMMENTS:* - We're not talking terminology yet, but note that we have a thing called a "claim token", and it maps to something very different from a "persisted claims token". - We've previously used "trust elevation" as the generic term on top of claims-gathering, step-up authentication, and whatever extension methods might come along. We've now got a model where claims are pretty much everything. In terms of specification, what's the right phrase? Rhetorically, trust elevation has been pretty useful, but if we switch, we'd just need to find a phrase for claims-*something* because "claims-gathering" so far has meant the interactive version, vs. "pushing". Claims collection? (Sounds like the insurance business or something.) - Note that I've avoided "consent" in favor of "authorization", a la OAuth. It seems to work fine. *Sec 1.2, Terminology* persisted claims token (PCT) A correlation handle, conveyed from an authorization server to a client and back, representing the interactively gathered authorization of an end-user requesting party during this trust elevation process for persisting any claims pushed and/or interactively gathered for the authorization server's own potential use in future trust elevation processes. *ISSUES:* - Is "this trust elevation process" clear? Intent is that it means one "run" of the protocol, with as many claims as required in phase 2 to get to phase 3. Should it be "authorization-seeking process" therefore? (This appears in 3.6.3.1 below too.) *Sec 1.3.2, Authorization and Protected Resource Interfaces, UMA Grant, and Requesting Party Token* ... The authorization server MAY enable an end-user requesting party to authorize a client to engage in future trust elevation processes in an optimized fashion using the persisted claims token (PCT) option; see Section 3.5.3 for more information about this option. ... *Sec 3.5, Client Seeks Authorization for Access: The UMA Grant* ... In order to access a protected resource successfully on the requesting party’s behalf, a client needs to present a valid RPT with sufficient authorization data. The client uses the token endpoint to acquire an RPT and optionally to ask for specific scopes it wants, providing the permission ticket it received from the resource server and optionally providing a persisted claims token (PCT) it received from this authorization server. ... *Sec 3.5.1, Client Request to Authorization Server for Requesting Party Token* The client makes a request to the token endpoint by sending the following parameters using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format per [RFC6749] Appendix B with a character encoding of UTF-8 in the HTTP request entity-body: ticket REQUIRED. The permission ticket. rpt OPTIONAL. If the client had included an RPT in its failed access attempt, it MAY include the same RPT here. claim_tokens OPTIONAL. In circumstances where the client needs to provide requesting party claims to the authorization server, it MAY include this value here. See Section 3.6.2 for more information. pct OPTIONAL. In circumstances where the authorization server returned a PCT previously when returning an RPT, the client MAY include the PCT when including the same RPT here. If the client had included an RPT in its failed access attempt, it MAY also provide that RPT in an property in the body. Example of a request message containing an AAT, an RPT, a permission ticket, and a PCT: ... *Sec 3.5.3.1, Authorization Server Response to Client on Authorization Success with Persisted Claims Token* The authorization server MAY return a PCT along with an RPT, subsequent to gathering authorization from an end-user requesting party at the interaction endpoint. The authorization server MUST NOT return a PCT if it has not gathered authorization from the requesting party. See Section 3.6.3.1 for more information about gathering this authorization. The PCT is a securely random, unguessable value that is static for the life of any one RPT with which the authorization server initially issued it. *ISSUE:* - Work to be done: Describe handling of incoming client request for RPT with an SCT in it. Correlate with RPT, ticket, and any claims, add any appropriate error states, and return same SCT back as appropriate. Describe here, or in client request section? Example: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json { "rpt": "sbjsbhs(/SSJHBSUSSJHVhjsgvhsgvshgsv", "pct": "c2F2ZWRjb25zZW50" } *Sec 3.6.3.1, Authorization Server Gathers Requesting Party Authorization for Persisting Claims* At any time during interactive claims-gathering, the authorization server MAY gather authorization from an end-user requesting party for persisting any claims that are pushed and/or interactively gathered during this trust elevation process for its own potential use in future trust elevation processes. If the authorization server has gathered this authorization, then it MUST generate a PCT to accompany an RPT to represent that authorization (see Section 3.5.3.1 for information on generating and using the PCT). NOTE: In order to manage the claims' persistence, it is likely that an authorization server will need to associate them with an account or profile for the requesting party. However, there is no requirement for the authorization server to present the requesting party with local account registration or authentication options; it could use federated account management techniques such as social sign-in instead. *ISSUES:* - Here and in 3.5.3.1, I've tried out language that assumes the AS MUST generate the PCT if it gathered the authorization. Does this work? - I was trying to think of how to specify a specific claim to gather to represent authorization, but since -- as we discussed -- it's both gathered and consumed by the AS, does it make sense to make it a formal claim, or can it remain in the squishy realm of "gathered authorization"? Is there value in specifying it as a formal semantic? *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl

Is Privacy Policy Language Irrelevant to Consumers...
by John Wunderlich 17 Sep '16

17 Sep '16

FYI (without implying endorsement): 'Our study shows that courts and laypeople can understand the same privacy policy language quite differently. Taken together, these results provide important evidence for the propositions that (1) social norms and user experiences with technological applications, not privacy policies, will drive users’ understanding of the nature of their bargain with firms, that (2) this is the case even when users read those policies reasonably carefully, that (3) most users of email and social networking sites believe that Facebook, Yahoo, and Google are authorized to engage in controversial and invasive practices implicating user privacy, and that (4) there is presently little reason to expect the development of a robust market for premium privacy-protective email and social networking applications in the United States.' http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2838449 John Wunderlich, Sent frum a mobile device, Pleez 4give speling erurz "...a world of near-total surveillance and endless record-keeping is likely to be one with less liberty, less experimentation, and certainly far less joy..."

Notes from UMA legal telecon 2016-09-09
by Eve Maler 12 Sep '16

12 Sep '16

http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/uma/UMA+legal+subgroup+note… 2016-09-09 - Working session on User-Managed Access (UMA) in Contractual and Regulatory Contexts <https://docs.google.com/a/wunderlich.ca/document/d/1HGM5-PoJFMnepyrTX91hqHK…> Attending: Eve, Ann, Kathleen, John W, Adrian, Scott D We discussed Eve's new slide describing "key benefits to users" at a high level as a potential way of fleshing out the next subsection of the primer. - Not just opt-in or opt-out when asked - Sharing, unsharing, and editing of sharing preferences allowed at any time, without external influence - Possible to offer a service that centralizes sharing preference management across data services for user convenience - The central service doesn’t see any of the data - It acts on the user’s policy instructions when others attempt access to data services - The user can choose to share whatever “grain” of access each data service offers - Such as read vs. write, or weight vs. fat mass We've now added and wordsmithed this. Instead of the spiral or the simplified spiral in the primer, John suggests a very friendly version of the "three phases" paradigm (as suggested by Adrian) that's already explained in the spec <https://docs.kantarainitiative.org/uma/rec-uma-core-v1_0_1.html#introduction>. He will sketch what's he's thinking of, and we'll ask Domenico to turn it into something beautiful! *Eve Maler*Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl

MITREid Connect implemented the original UMA RPT as a "true" OAuth access token – so, nothing special about the "UMA bearer token profile". And since UMA Core didn't say anything one way or another about refresh tokens, they didn't implement that. Pros and cons: PAT/RPT/AAT/(no RPT refresh token): - Uses straight OAuth to gather the RqP's authorization. - Requires implementation of the AAT. - Requires ReqP authentication. - Requires that authentication as soon as the RqP shows up to the AS. - AAT interferes with "wide ecosystem" use cases (though this isn't the only barrier to them). - Has an "extra" endpoint (RPT endpoint). PAT/RPT/RPT refresh token/persisted claims token: (Note that the AAT really is gone, though there are a few rogue mentions still in the spec and there's more surgery to do, e.g. a true "UMA grant" flow specification needs to be written.) - Requires implementing a minimum of two tokens. (Optionality.) A full implementation could implement the PCT as well. - One fewer endpoint overall. (Simplicity.) - This paradigm doesn't actually reduce the number of tokens. - Don't know yet about all aspects of PCT design. Is a new invented thing. Andi notes that if we've got "consent" tokens (mindful that we want to avoid that word!) floating around, we want to think about auditability. So it's time for a good pow-wow with the CIS WG, and also for discussing "notification endpoints" and such. We're agreed that the "PCT" would be best applied for both interactively gathered and pushed claims both. Now, to examine how smooth or complex the RqP interaction could get. We looked at Eve's analysis of how "compressed" or "onerous" the flows could be. Justin notes that the RqP's authorization is not required for the token itself to persist the claims of both categories, so the "onerous" picture in the PCT case isn't really right. In other words, the RqP doesn't need an account at the AS. 't envisions a special claim that represents the RqP's authorization – that is, a claim with special semantics. Should we have a separate spec for this special claim? It's sort of internal to the AS, so maybe we just define it right in the same UMA Core spec, and don't put it in any standardized registry. Andi feedback: He'd like a single restatement of what we're trying to solve, why the existing design doesn't solve the problem, and why the new redesign does (we think) solve the problem. What are the security risks? What are the privacy risks? Would PII be leaked? What are the audibility and traceability characteristics? What are the performance characteristics? Let's do swimlanes comparing them. Justin might be able to "build the blasted thing" and Eve can commit to doing the foregoing explanation. We might be tantamount to spec'ing this as well. Let's do all this analysis in email. Attendees As of 31 Aug 2016, quorum is 6 of 10. (Domenico, Sal, Nagesh, Andi, Robert, Maciej, Eve, Jeffrey, Mike, Sarah) 1. Domenico 2. Andi 3. Maciej 4. Eve 5.

UMA Tokens visualization
by Domenico Catalano 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hi all, the attached picture shows all the UMA tokens involved in each "triangular interaction", including the Id Token for a claims gathering through OIDC. Is there an analogy between PCT (Persistent Claims Token) and the SAML session token profile <https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=43741&wg_abb…> ? I hope this can help for the discussion. Thanks. Domenico
