RFC 7879             DTLS-SRTP Handling in SIP B2BUA            May 2016


1.  Introduction

1.1.  Overview

  [RFC5763] describes how the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
  [RFC3261] can be used to establish a Secure Real-time Transport
  Protocol (SRTP) [RFC3711] security context with the Datagram
  Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol [RFC6347].  It describes a
  mechanism for transporting a certificate fingerprint using the
  Session Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566].  The fingerprint
  identifies the certificate that will be presented during the DTLS
  handshake.  DTLS-SRTP is currently defined for point-to-point media
  sessions, in which there are exactly two participants.  Each DTLS-
  SRTP session (described in Section 3 of [RFC5764]) contains a single
  DTLS connection (if RTP and RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) are
  multiplexed) or two DTLS connections (if RTP and RTCP are not
  multiplexed), and either two SRTP contexts (if media traffic is
  flowing in both directions on the same 5-tuple) or one SRTP context
  (if media traffic is only flowing in one direction).

  In many SIP deployments, SIP Back-to-Back User Agents (B2BUA)
  entities exist on the SIP-signaling path between the endpoints.  As
  described in [RFC7092], these B2BUAs can modify SIP and SDP
  information.  For example, as described in Section 3.1.3 of
  [RFC7092], SDP-modifying signaling-only B2BUAs can potentially modify
  the SDP.  B2BUAs can also be present on the media path, in which case
  they modify parts of the SDP information (like IP address, port) and
  subsequently modify the RTP headers as well.  Such B2BUAs are
  referred to as "media-plane B2BUAs".  [RFC7092] describes two
  different categories of media-plane B2BUAs, according to the level of
  activities performed on the media plane.

  When B2BUAs are present in a call between two SIP User Agents (UAs),
  they often make end-to-end DTLS-SRTP sessions impossible.  An "end-
  to-end DTLS-SRTP session" means that man-in-the-middle devices cannot
  break the DTLS-SRTP session between the endpoints.  In other words,
  the man-in-the-middle device cannot create a separate DTLS-SRTP
  session between the client and the middle device on one side, and the
  middle device and the remote peer on the other side.  B2BUAs may be
  deployed for address hiding or media latching [RFC7362], although
  Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) and Interactive Connectivity
  Establishment (ICE) are expected to be used more often for this
  purpose as it provides better security properties.  Such B2BUAs are
  able to perform their functions without requiring termination of
  DTLS-SRTP sessions, i.e., these B2BUAs need not act as DTLS proxy and
  decrypt the RTP payload.

RFC 7879             DTLS-SRTP Handling in SIP B2BUA            May 2016


1.2.  Goals and Scope of this Document

  A B2BUA could be deployed for address hiding or media latching as
  described in [RFC7362].  Such B2BUAs only terminate the media plane
  at the IP and transport (UDP/TCP) layers and may inspect the RTP
  headers or RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) packets.  The goal of this
  specification is to provide guidance on how such B2BUAs function
  without breaking the end-to-end DTLS-SRTP session.  A B2BUA could
  also terminate the media, or modify the RTP headers or RTP Control
  Protocol (RTCP) packets.  Such B2BUAs will not allow end-to-end DTLS-
  SRTP.  The recommendations made in this document are not expected to
  be applied by B2BUAs terminating DTLS-SRTP sessions given deployment
  reality.

  This specification assumes that a B2BUA is not providing identity
  assurance and is not authorized to terminate the DTLS-SRTP session.
  A B2BUA that provides identity assurance on behalf of endpoints
  behind it can modify any portion of SIP and SDP before it generates
  the identity signature.  As the B2BUA is generating the identity
  signature, it is not possible to detect if a B2BUA has terminated the
  DTLS-SRTP session.  B2BUAs providing identity assurance and
  terminating DTLS-SRTP sessions are out of scope of this document.

  The following sections describe the behavior B2BUAs can follow to
  avoid breaking end-to-end DTLS-SRTP sessions.

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].

  Transport Address: The combination of an IP address and port number.

  The following generalized terms are defined in [RFC3261], Section 6.

     B2BUA: A SIP Back-to-Back User Agent, which is the logical
     combination of a User Agent Server (UAS) and a User Agent Client
     (UAC).

     UAS: A SIP User Agent Server.

     UAC: A SIP User Agent Client.

  All of the pertinent B2BUA terminology and taxonomy used in this
  document are based on [RFC7092].





Ravindranath, et al.         Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 7879             DTLS-SRTP Handling in SIP B2BUA            May 2016


  It is assumed the reader is already familiar with the fundamental
  concepts of the RTP protocol [RFC3550] and its taxonomy [RFC7656], as
  well as those of SRTP [RFC3711] and DTLS [RFC6347].

3.  B2BUAs Procedures to Allow End-to-End DTLS-SRTP

  A B2BUA MUST follow the rules mentioned below to allow end-to-end
  DTLS-SRTP sessions.

  1.  B2BUAs MUST forward the certificate fingerprint and SDP setup
      attribute it receives from one endpoint unmodified towards the
      other endpoint and vice versa.

  2.  The enhancements described in [RFC4474] provide a means for
      signing portions of SIP requests in order to provide identity
      assurance and certificate pinning by providing an identity
      signature over the SDP that carries the fingerprint of keying for
      DTLS-SRTP [RFC5763].  B2BUAs can identify that the enhancements
      in [RFC4474] are used for identity assurance if the SIP request
      contains both Identity and Identity-Info headers.  In cases where
      endpoints use [RFC4474], B2BUAs MUST ensure that it does not
      modify any of the information used to construct the identity
      signature.  This includes the entire SDP body and portions of the
      SIP header as described in [RFC4474].  In this case, a B2BUA
      cannot act as a media-relay B2BUA.

  3.  [SIP-ID] is introduced to overcome the limitations of [RFC4474]
      (discussed in Section 1 of [SIP-ID]).  Unlike [RFC4474], [SIP-ID]
      does not generate an identity signature over material that
      intermediaries in the field commonly alter.  In this case, a
      B2BUA can act as a media-relay B2BUA.  B2BUAs can identify that
      [SIP-ID] is used for identity assurance if the SIP request
      contains an Identity header but does not include an Identity-Info
      header.  The Identity-Info header is deprecated in [SIP-ID].  A
      B2BUA MUST ensure that it does not modify any of the headers used
      to construct the identity signature.

  4.  Both media relays and media-aware relays MUST NOT modify the
      authenticated portion of RTP and RTCP packets, and MUST NOT
      modify the authentication tag in the RTP and RTCP packets.

4.  Signaling-Plane B2BUA Handling of DTLS-SRTP

  Section 3.1 of [RFC7092] describes different categories of signaling-
  plane B2BUAs.  This section explains how these B2BUAs are expected to
  comply with the recommendations in Section 3.





Ravindranath, et al.         Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 7879             DTLS-SRTP Handling in SIP B2BUA            May 2016


4.1.  Proxy-B2BUAs

  Proxy-B2BUAs, as defined in Section 3.1.1 of [RFC7092], modify only
  the Via and Record-Route SIP headers.  These B2BUAs can continue to
  perform their function and still allow end-to-end DTLS-SRTP sessions
  since none of the headers used to construct the identity signature
  are modified.

4.2.  Signaling-Only and SDP-Modifying Signaling-Only B2BUAs

  These categories of B2BUAs are likely to modify headers that are used
  to construct the identity signature.  For example, a signaling-only
  B2BUA can modify the Contact URI.  Such B2BUAs are likely to violate
  rule 2 or rule 3 in Section 3.  Depending upon the application
  requirements, such a B2BUA may be able to limit modification of
  header fields to those allowed to be modified by [RFC4474] or
  [SIP-ID].

5.  Media-Plane B2BUA Handling of DTLS-SRTP

5.1.  General

  This section describes how the different types of media-plane B2BUAs
  defined in [RFC7092] are expected to comply with the recommendations
  in Section 3.

5.1.1.  Media Relay

  From an application-layer point of view, a media relay (as defined in
  Section 3.2.1 of [RFC7092]) forwards all packets it receives on a
  negotiated connection, without inspecting or modifying the packet
  contents.  A media relay only modifies the transport layer (UDP/TCP)
  and IP headers.

  A media-relay B2BUA follows rule 1 mentioned in Section 3 and
  forwards the certificate fingerprint and SDP setup attribute it
  receives from one endpoint unmodified towards the other endpoint and
  vice versa.  The following example shows a SIP call establishment
  flow, with both SIP endpoints (user agents) using DTLS-SRTP, and a
  media-relay B2BUA.

        Figure 1: INVITE with SDP Call Flow for Media-Relay B2BUA

  Note: For brevity, the entire value of the SDP fingerprint attribute
  is not shown.  The example here shows only one DTLS connection for
  the sake of simplicity.  In reality, depending on whether the RTP and
  RTCP flows are multiplexed or demultiplexed, there will be one or two
  DTLS connections.



Ravindranath, et al.         Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 7879             DTLS-SRTP Handling in SIP B2BUA            May 2016


  If RTP and RTCP traffic is multiplexed on a single port as described
  in [RFC5761], then only a single DTLS connection is required between
  the peers.  If RTP and RTCP are not multiplexed, then the peers would
  have to establish two DTLS connections.  In this case, after
  receiving an INVITE request, Bob triggers the establishment of a DTLS
  connection.  Note that the DTLS handshake and the sending of the
  INVITE response can happen in parallel; thus, the B2BUA has to be
  prepared to receive DTLS, Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN),
  and media on the ports it advertised to Bob in the SDP offer before
  it receives an SDP answer from Bob. Since a media-relay B2BUA does
  not differentiate between a DTLS message, RTP, or any packet it
  receives, it only changes the transport layer (UDP/TCP) and IP
  headers and forwards the packet towards the other endpoint.  The
  B2BUA cannot decrypt the RTP payload, as the payload is encrypted
  using the SRTP keys derived from the DTLS connection setup between
  Alice and Bob.

  If the endpoints use [RFC4474], a B2BUA cannot function as a media-
  relay without violating rule 2 in Section 3.  If [SIP-ID] is used, a
  B2BUA can modify the IP address in the c= line and the port in the m=
  line in the SDP as long as it does not otherwise violate rule 3 in
  Section 3.

5.1.2.  RTP- and RTCP-Aware Media-Aware B2BUA

  Unlike the media relay discussed in Section 5.1.1, a media-aware
  relay as defined in Section 3.2.2 of [RFC7092] is aware of the type
  of media traffic it is receiving.  There are two types of media-aware
  relays, those that merely inspect the RTP headers and unencrypted
  portions of RTCP packets, and those that inspect and modify the RTP
  headers and unencrypted portions of RTCP packets.

5.1.2.1.  RTP Header and RTCP Packets Inspection

  An RTP-/RTCP-aware media relay does not modify the RTP headers and
  RTCP packets but only inspects the packets.  Such B2BUAs follow rule
  4 in Section 3 and can continue to do their function while allowing
  end-to-end DTLS-SRTP.  Inspection by the B2BUA will not reveal the
  clear-text for encrypted parts of the SRTP/SRTCP packets.

5.1.2.2.  RTP Header and RTCP Packet Modification

  A B2BUA cannot modify RTP headers or RTCP packets, as to do so it
  would need to act as a DTLS endpoint, terminate the DTLS-SRTP
  session, and decrypt/re-encrypt RTP packets.  If a B2BUA modifies
  unencrypted or encrypted portions of the RTP or RTCP packets, then
  the integrity check will fail and the packet will be dropped by the
  endpoint.  The unencrypted and encrypted portions of the RTP or RTCP



Ravindranath, et al.         Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 7879             DTLS-SRTP Handling in SIP B2BUA            May 2016


  packets are integrity protected using the HMAC algorithm negotiated
  during the DTLS handshake (discussed in Section 4.1.2 of [RFC5764]).
  B2BUAs have to follow the rules in Section 3 to avoid breaking the
  integrity of SRTP/SRTCP streams.

6.  Forking Considerations

  Due to forking [RFC3261], a SIP request carrying an SDP offer sent by
  an endpoint (offerer) can reach multiple remote endpoints.  As a
  result, multiple DTLS-SRTP sessions can be established, one between
  the endpoint that sent the SIP request and each of the remote
  endpoints that received the request.  B2BUAs have to follow rule 1 in
  Section 3 while handling offer/answer and forward the certificate
  fingerprints and SDP setup attributes it received in the SDP answer
  from each endpoint (answerer) unmodified towards the offerer.  Since
  each DTLS connection is set up on a unique 5-tuple, B2BUA replaces
  the answerer's transport addresses in each answer with its unique
  transport addresses so that the offerer can establish a DTLS
  connection with each answerer.  The B2BUA, acting as a media relay
  here, follows rule 4 mentioned in Section 3.

                                            Charlie (192.0.2.2:6666)

                Figure 2: B2BUA Handling Multiple Answers

  For instance, as shown in Figure 2, Alice sends a request with an
  offer and the request is forked.  Alice receives answers from both
  Bob and Charlie.  The B2BUA advertises different B2BUA transport
  addresses in each answer, as shown in Figure 2, where XXX and YYY
  represent different DTLS-SRTP sessions.  The B2BUA replaces Bob's
  transport address (192.0.2.1:6666) in the answer with its transport
  address (192.0.2.3:7777) and Charlie's transport address

  (192.0.2.2:6666) in the answer with its transport address
  (192.0.2.3:8888).  The B2BUA tracks the remote sources (Bob and
  Charlie) and associates them to the local sources that are used to
  send packets to Alice.

7.  Security Considerations

  This document describes the behavior B2BUAs must follow to avoid
  breaking end-to-end DTLS-SRTP.  Media relays that modify RTP or RTCP,
  or modify SIP header fields or SDP fields that are protected by the
  identity signature, are incompatible with end-to-end DTLS-SRTP.  Such
  relays are out of scope for this document.  Security considerations
  discussed in [RFC5763] are also applicable to this document.  In
  addition, the B2BUA behaviors outlined in this document do not impact
  the security and integrity of a DTLS-SRTP session or the data
  exchanged over it.  A malicious B2BUA can try to break into the DTLS
  connection, but such an attack can be prevented using the identity
  validation mechanism discussed in [RFC4474] or [SIP-ID].  Either the
  endpoints or the authentication service proxies involved in the call
  can use the identity validation mechanisms discussed in [RFC4474] or
  [SIP-ID] to validate the identity of peers and detect malicious
  B2BUAs that can attempt to terminate the DTLS connection to decrypt
