Draft N. Sakimura NRI J. Bradley Ping Identity M. Jones Microsoft B. de Medeiros Google C. Mortimore Salesforce E. Jay Illumila March 26, 2013 OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 - draft 17 Abstract OpenID Connect 1.0 is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It allows Clients to verify the identity of the End-User based on the authentication performed by an Authorization Server, as well as to obtain basic profile information about the End-User in an interoperable and REST-like manner. This specification only defines the endpoints and the associated message formats. The actual use MUST be based on one of the companion protocol bindings specifications such as OpenID Connect Standard 1.0. Sakimura, et al.

Introduction 1.1. Requirements Notation and Conventions 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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. Throughout this document, values are quoted to indicate that they are to be taken literally. When using these values in protocol messages, the quotes MUST NOT be used as part of the value. 1.2. Terminology This specification uses the terms "Access Token", "Refresh Token", "Authorization Code", "Authorization Grant", "Authorization Server", "Authorization Endpoint", "Client", "Client Identifier", "Client Secret", "Protected Resource", "Resource Owner", "Resource Server", and "Token Endpoint" defined by OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749], and the terms "Claim Names" and "Claim Values" defined by JSON Web Token (JWT) [JWT]. This specification also defines the following terms: Authentication Act of verifying End-User's possession of previously provisioned credentials. Authentication Context Information that the Relying Party may require before it makes an entitlement decision with respect to an authentication response. Such context may include, but is not limited to, the actual authentication method used or level of assurance such as ISO/IEC 29115 [ISO29115] entity authentication assurance level. Authentication Context Class A set of authentication methods or procedures that are considered to be equivalent to each other in a particular context. Authentication Context Class Reference Identifier for an Authentication Context Class. Claim Piece of information about an Entity that a Claims Provider asserts about that Entity. Claim Type Syntax used for representing a Claim Value. This specification defines Normal, Aggregated, and Distributed Claim Types. Sakimura, et al. [Page 5] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 Claims Provider Server that can return Claims about an Entity. End-User Human Resource Owner. Entity Something that has a separate and distinct existence and that can be identified in context. An End-User is one example of an Entity. Essential Claim Claim specified by the Client as being necessary to ensure a smooth authorization experience for the specific task requested by the End-User. ID Token Token that contains Claims about the authentication event. It may contain other Claims. Issuer Entity that issues a set of Claims. Issuer Identifier Verifiable identifier for an Issuer. An Issuer Identifier is a URL using the "https" scheme that contains scheme, host, and OPTIONALLY, port number and path components. (No query or fragment components may be present.) Message Request or a response between an OpenID Relying Party and an OpenID Provider. OpenID Provider (OP) OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server that is capable of returning Claims to a Relying Party about the authentication event and the End-User in an ID Token and/or a UserInfo Endpoint response. OP Endpoints Authorization Endpoint, Token Endpoint, and UserInfo Endpoint. Request Object JWT that contains a set of request parameters as its Claims. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Any information that (a) can be used to identify the natural person to whom such information relates, or (b) is or might be directly or indirectly linked to a natural person to whom such information relates. Pairwise Pseudonymous Identifier (PPID) Identifier that identifies the Entity to a Relying Party. An Entity's PPID at one Relying Party cannot be correlated with the Entity's PPID at another Relying Party. Sakimura, et al. [Page 6] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 Relying Party (RP) Application requiring Claims from an OpenID Provider. It is an extended OAuth 2.0 Client. Self-Issued OpenID Provider Personal OpenID Provider that issues self-signed ID Tokens. UserInfo Endpoint Protected Resource that, when presented with an Access Token by the Client, returns Claims about the End-User represented by that Access Token. Voluntary Claim Claim specified by the Client as being useful but not Essential for the specific task requested by the End-User. 1.3. Overview The OpenID Connect protocol, in abstract, follows the following steps. 1. The RP (Client) sends a request to the OP's (Authorization Server's) End-User Authorization Endpoint. 2. The OP authenticates the End-User and obtains appropriate authorization. 3. The OP responds with an Access Token, an Id Token, and a few other variables. 4. The RP sends a request with the Access Token to the UserInfo Endpoint, per Section 2.3. 5. The UserInfo Endpoint returns the additional End-User information supported by the Resource Server. This specification only defines the abstract message flow and message formats. The actual use MUST be based on one of the companion protocol bindings specifications such as OpenID Connect Standard 1.0 [OpenID.Standard], OpenID Connect Basic Client Profile 1.0 [OpenID.Basic], or OpenID Connect Implicit Client Profile 1.0 [OpenID.Implicit]. Sakimura, et al. [Page 7] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 2. Messages In OpenID Connect, the RP interacts with these endpoints at the OP: 1. Authorization Endpoint: The RP sends a request to the OP at the Authorization Endpoint. The OP then authenticates the End-User to determine whether he is eligible to be authenticated. Then, after potential authorization actions by the End-User, the Authorization Server returns an Authorization Response, which can include an Authorization Code value. For some Clients, the Implicit Grant will be used to obtain an Access Token without using an Authorization Code. In this case, the "response_type" parameter value MUST include "token" and "id_token". 2. Token Endpoint: The Client sends an Access Token Request containing the Authorization Code to the Token Endpoint to obtain an Access Token Response that includes an Access Token and an ID Token. 3. UserInfo Endpoint: The Client sends the Access Token to the UserInfo Endpoint to obtain Claims about the End-User. 2.1. Authorization Endpoint The RP sends an Authorization Request to the Authorization Endpoint of the OP to obtain an Authorization Response, which may contain an ID Token and Access Token, depending on the "response_type" value used. 2.1.1. Authorization Request An Authorization Request is a message sent from an RP to the OP's Authorization Endpoint. It is an extended OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] Authorization Request. Section 4.1.1 and 4.2.1 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] define the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Request parameters. 2.1.1.1. Request Parameters OpenID Connect uses the following OAuth 2.0 request parameters: response_type REQUIRED. Value that controls the parameters returned in the response from the Authorization Endpoint. The OAuth 2.0 specification defines two response types: Sakimura, et al. [Page 8] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 code When supplied as the value for the "response_type" parameter, a successful response MUST include an Authorization Code as defined in the OAuth 2.0 specification. Both successful and error responses MUST be added as parameters to the query component of the response. All tokens are returned from the Token Endpoint. When used by OpenID Connect, an ID Token is also returned from the Token Endpoint. OpenID Providers that are not Self-Issued OPs MUST support this "response_type". token When supplied as the value for the "response_type" parameter, a successful response MUST include an Access Token as defined in the OAuth 2.0 specification. Both successful and error responses MUST be fragment-encoded. No ID Token is provided to the Client; therefore, this "response_type" is not used by OpenID Connect. OpenID Connect supports these additional response types [OAuth.Responses], which have been registered with IANA: id_token When supplied as the value for the "response_type" parameter, a successful response MUST include an ID Token. Both successful and error responses SHOULD be fragment-encoded. OpenID Providers MUST support this "response_type". id_token token When supplied as the value for the "response_type" parameter, a successful response MUST include both an Access Token and an ID Token. Both successful and error responses SHOULD be fragment-encoded. OpenID Providers MUST support this "response_type". code token When supplied as the value for the "response_type" parameter, a successful response MUST include both an Access Token and an Authorization Code as defined in the OAuth 2.0 specification. When used by OpenID Connect, an ID Token is also returned from the Token Endpoint. Both successful and error responses SHOULD be fragment-encoded. code id_token When supplied as the value for the "response_type" parameter, a successful response MUST include both an Authorization Code and an ID Token. Both successful and error responses SHOULD be fragment-encoded. Sakimura, et al. [Page 9] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 code id_token token When supplied as the value for the "response_type" parameter, a successful response MUST include an Authorization Code, an ID Token, and an Access Token. Both successful and error responses SHOULD be fragment-encoded. All OpenID Providers MUST support the "id_token" and "token id_token" response types and all OpenID Providers that are not Self-Issued OPs MUST also support the "code" response type. The Client may use any OAuth 2.0 registered response type supported by the OpenID Provider other than "token" (which provides no ID Token). client_id REQUIRED. OAuth 2.0 Client Identifier. scope REQUIRED. Space delimited, case sensitive list of ASCII OAuth 2.0 scope values. OpenID Connect requests MUST contain the "openid" scope value. OPTIONAL scope values of "profile", "email", "address", "phone", and "offline_access" are also defined. See Section 2.4 for more about the scope values defined by this specification. redirect_uri REQUIRED. Redirection URI to which the response will be sent. This MUST be pre-registered with the OpenID Provider. If the Client uses the OAuth implicit grant type, the redirection URI MUST NOT use the "http" scheme unless the Client is a native application, in which case it MAY use the "http:" scheme with "localhost" as the hostname. If the Client only uses the OAuth "authorization_code" grant type, the redirection URI MAY use the "http" scheme, provided that the Client Type is "confidential", as defined in Section 2.1 of OAuth 2.0. state RECOMMENDED. Opaque value used to maintain state between the request and the callback; it can serve as a protection against XSRF attacks, among other uses. This specification also defines the following request parameters: nonce REQUIRED or OPTIONAL. Random, unique string value used to mitigate replay attacks. Use of the nonce is REQUIRED for all requests where an ID Token is returned directly from the Authorization Endpoint. It is OPTIONAL when the ID Token is returned from the Token Endpoint. display OPTIONAL. ASCII string value that specifies how the Authorization Server displays the authentication and consent user interface pages to the End-User. The defined values are: Sakimura, et al. [Page 10] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 page The Authorization Server SHOULD display authentication and consent UI consistent with a full User-Agent page view. If the display parameter is not specified this is the default display mode. popup The Authorization Server SHOULD display authentication and consent UI consistent with a popup User-Agent window. The popup User-Agent window SHOULD be 450 pixels wide and 500 pixels tall. touch The Authorization Server SHOULD display authentication and consent UI consistent with a device that leverages a touch interface. The Authorization Server MAY attempt to detect the touch device and further customize the interface. wap The Authorization Server SHOULD display authentication and consent UI consistent with a "feature phone" type display. prompt OPTIONAL. Space delimited, case sensitive list of ASCII string values that specifies whether the Authorization Server prompts the End-User for reauthentication and consent. The defined values are: none The Authorization Server MUST NOT display any authentication or consent user interface pages. An error is returned if the End-User is not already authenticated or the Client does not have pre-configured consent for the requested Claims. This can be used as a method to check for existing authentication and/or consent. login The Authorization Server MUST prompt the End-User for reauthentication. consent The Authorization Server MUST prompt the End-User for consent before returning information to the Client. select_account The Authorization Server MUST prompt the End-User to select a user account. This allows a user who has multiple accounts at the Authorization Server to select amongst the multiple accounts that they may have current sessions for. The "prompt" parameter can be used by the Client to make sure that the End-User is still present for the current session or to bring attention to the request. If this parameter contains "none" with any other value, an error is returned. Sakimura, et al. [Page 11] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 max_age OPTIONAL. Maximum Authentication Age. Specifies that the End-User must be actively authenticated if the End-User was authenticated longer ago than the specified number of seconds. (The "max_age" request parameter corresponds to the OpenID 2.0 PAPE [OpenID.PAPE] "max_auth_age" request parameter.) When "max_age" is used, the ID Token returned MUST include an "auth_time" Claim Value. ui_locales OPTIONAL. End-User's preferred languages and scripts for the user interface, represented as a space-separated list of BCP47 [RFC5646] language tag values, ordered by preference. For instance, the value "fr-CA fr en" represents a preference for French as spoken in Canada, then French (without a region designation), followed by English (without a region designation). An error SHOULD NOT result if some or all of the requested locales are not supported by the OpenID Provider. claims_locales OPTIONAL. End-User's preferred languages and scripts for Claims being returned, represented as a space-separated list of BCP47 [RFC5646] language tag values, ordered by preference. An error SHOULD NOT result if some or all of the requested locales are not supported by the OpenID Provider. id_token_hint OPTIONAL. Previously issued ID Token passed to the Authorization Server as a hint about the End-User's current or past authenticated session with the Client. This SHOULD be present when "prompt=none" is used. If the End-User identified by the ID Token is logged in or is logged in by the request, then the Authorization Server returns a positive response; otherwise, it SHOULD return a negative response. If the ID Token received by the RP is encrypted, the Client MUST decrypt the signed ID Token contained within the encrypted ID Token. The Client MAY re-encrypt the signed ID token to the Authentication Server using a key that enables the server to decrypt the ID Token. For a Self-Issued ID Token, the "sub" (subject) of the signed ID Token MUST be sent as the "kid" (Key ID) of the JWE. login_hint OPTIONAL. Hint to the Authorization Server about the login identifier the End-User may use to log in (if necessary). This hint can be used by an RP if it first asks the End-User for their e-mail address (or other identifier) and then wants to pass that value as a hint to the discovered authorization service. It is RECOMMENDED that the hint value match the value used for discovery. This value MAY also be a phone number in the format specified for the "phone_number" Claim. The use of this parameter Sakimura, et al. [Page 12] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 is left to the OP's discretion. acr_values OPTIONAL. Requested Authentication Context Class Reference values. Space-separated string that specifies the "acr" values that the Authorization Server MUST use for processing requests from this Client. The Authentication Context Class satisfied by the authentication performed is returned as the "acr" Claim Value, as specified in Section 2.1.2.1. claims OPTIONAL. This parameter is used to request that specific Claims be returned. The value is a JSON object, as specified in Section 2.6. registration OPTIONAL. This parameter is used by the Client to provide information about itself to a Self-Issued OP that would normally be provided to an OP during Dynamic Client Registration, as specified in Section 7.2.1. The "registration" parameter SHOULD NOT be used when the OP is not a Self-Issued OP. request OPTIONAL. This parameter enables OpenID Connect requests to be passed in a single, self-contained parameter and to be signed and optionally encrypted. The parameter value is a Request Object value, as specified in Section 2.9. It represents the request as JWT whose Claims are the request parameters above. When the "request" parameter is used, the OpenID Connect request parameter values contained in the JWT supersede those passed using the OAuth 2.0 request syntax. Even if a "scope" parameter is present in the Request Object value, a "scope" parameter MUST always be passed using the OAuth 2.0 request syntax containing the "openid" scope value to indicate to the underlying OAuth 2.0 logic that this is an OpenID Connect request. request_uri OPTIONAL. This parameter enables OpenID Connect requests to be passed by reference, rather than by value. The "request_uri" value is a URL using the "https" scheme referencing a resource containing a Request Object value, which is a JWT containing the request parameters. This parameter is used identically to the "request" parameter, other than that the Request Object value is retrieved from the specified URL, rather than passed by value. See Section 2.10 for more information on using the "request_uri" parameter. 2.1.2. Authorization Response An Authorization Response is a message returned from the OP's Authorization Endpoint in response to the Authorization Request by the RP. Sakimura, et al. [Page 13] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 This specification only describes OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Usage [RFC6750]. The OAuth 2.0 response parameter "token_type" MUST be set to "Bearer" unless another Token Type has been negotiated with the Client. When the "response_type" in the request is "code", the Authorization Response MUST return the parameters defined in Section 4.1.2 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749]. When the "response_type" includes other values, they must be returned as defined by their registration. The "id_token" and "token id_token" response types are defined in OAuth 2.0 Multiple Response Type Encoding Practices [OAuth.Responses]. 2.1.2.1. ID Token The ID Token is a security token that contains Claims about the authentication event and other requested Claims. The ID Token is represented as a JSON Web Token (JWT) [JWT]. The ID Token is used to manage the authentication event and user identifier and is scoped to a particular Client via the "aud" (audience) and "nonce" Claims. The following Claims are used within the ID Token: iss REQUIRED. Issuer Identifier for the Issuer of the response. sub REQUIRED. Subject identifier. A locally unique and never reassigned identifier within the Issuer for the End-User, which is intended to be consumed by the Client. e.g. "24400320" or "AItOawmwtWwcT0k51BayewNvutrJUqsvl6qs7A4". It MUST NOT exceed 255 ASCII characters in length. aud REQUIRED. Audience that this ID Token is intended for. It MUST contain the OAuth 2.0 "client_id" of the Client. azp OPTIONAL. Authorized Presenter. This member identifies an OAuth 2.0 Client authorized to use this ID Token as an OAuth Access Token. It MUST contain the "client_id" of the Authorized Presenter. This Claim is only needed when the party requesting the ID Token is not the same as the audience of the ID Token. It MAY be included even when the Authorized Presenter is the same as the audience. Sakimura, et al. [Page 14] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 exp REQUIRED. Expiration time on or after which the ID Token MUST NOT be accepted for processing. The processing of this parameter requires that the current date/time MUST be before the expiration date/time listed in the value. Implementers MAY provide for some small leeway, usually no more than a few minutes, to account for clock skew. The value is the number of seconds from 1970-01- 01T0:0:0Z as measured in UTC until the desired date/time. See RFC 3339 [RFC3339] for details regarding date/times in general and UTC in particular. iat REQUIRED. Time at which the JWT was issued. The value is the number of seconds from 1970-01-01T0:0:0Z as measured in UTC until the desired date/time. See RFC 3339 [RFC3339] for details regarding date/times in general and UTC in particular. auth_time OPTIONAL or REQUIRED. Time when the End-User authentication occurred, specified as the number of seconds since 1970-01-01T0:0:0Z as measured in UTC. When a "max_age" request is made or when "auth_time" is requested as an Essential Claim, then this Claim is REQUIRED. (The "auth_time" Claim semantically corresponds to the OpenID 2.0 PAPE [OpenID.PAPE] "auth_time" response parameter.) nonce OPTIONAL or REQUIRED. String value used to associate a Client session with an ID Token, and to mitigate replay attacks. The value is passed through unmodified from the Authorization Request to the ID Token. If present in the ID Token, Clients MUST verify that the "nonce" Claim Value is equal to the value of the "nonce" parameter sent in the Authorization Request. If present in the Authorization Request, Authorization Servers MUST include a "nonce" Claim in the ID Token with the Claim Value being the nonce value sent in the Authorization Request. Use of the nonce is REQUIRED for all requests where an ID Token is returned directly from the Authorization Endpoint. It is OPTIONAL when the ID Token is returned from the Token Endpoint. at_hash OPTIONAL or REQUIRED. Access Token hash value. If the ID Token is issued from the Authorization Endpoint with an "access_token", this is REQUIRED. This is OPTIONAL when the ID Token is issued from the Token Endpoint. The value is produced by base64url encoding the left-most half of the hash created by hashing the "access_token" with the hash algorithm specified in JWS [JWA] for the "alg" parameter in the JWS [JWS] header. For instance, if the "alg" is "RS256", hash "access_token" with SHA- 256, then take the left-most 128 bits and base64url encode them. Sakimura, et al. [Page 15] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 c_hash OPTIONAL or REQUIRED. Code hash value. If the ID Token is issued from the Authorization Endpoint with a "code", this is REQUIRED. This is OPTIONAL when the ID Token is issued from the Token Endpoint. The value is produced by base64url encoding the left-most half of the hash created by hashing the "code" with the hash algorithm specified in JWS [JWA] for the "alg" parameter in the JWS [JWS] header. For instance, if the "alg" is "HS512", hash "code" with SHA-512, then take the left-most 256 bits and base64url encode them. acr OPTIONAL. Authentication Context Class Reference. String specifying an Authentication Context Class Reference value that identifies the Authentication Context Class that the authentication performed satisfied. The value "0" indicates the End-User authentication did not meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 29115 [ISO29115] level 1. Authentication using a long-lived browser cookie, for instance, is one example where the use of "level 0" is appropriate. Authentications with level 0 should never be used to authorize access to any resource of any monetary value. (This corresponds to the OpenID 2.0 PAPE [OpenID.PAPE] "nist_auth_level" 0.) An absolute URI or a registered name [RFC6711] MAY be used as an "acr" value. amr OPTIONAL. Authentication Methods References. JSON array of strings that are identifiers for authentication methods used in the authentication. For instance, values might indicate that both password and OTP authentication methods were used. The definition of particular values to be used in the "amr" Claim is beyond the scope of this specification. sub_jwk NOT RECOMMENDED or REQUIRED. Public key value used to check the signature of an ID Token issued by a Self-Issued OpenID Provider, as specified in Section 7. The key is a bare key in JWK format (not an X.509 certificate value). Use of the "sub_jwk" Claim is REQUIRED when the OP is a Self-Issued OP and is NOT RECOMMENDED when the OP is not Self-Issued. The JWT MAY contain other Claims. Any Claims used that are not understood MUST be ignored. ID Tokens MUST be signed using JWS [JWS] and OPTIONALLY both signed and encrypted using JWS [JWS] and JWE [JWE] respectively, thereby providing authentication, integrity, non-repudiation, and optionally, confidentiality, per Section 10.13. Clients MUST directly validate the ID Token per Section 5.2. Sakimura, et al. [Page 16] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 The following is a non-normative example of a base64url decoded ID Token (with line wraps for display purposes only): { "iss": "https://server.example.com", "sub": "24400320", "aud": "s6BhdRkqt3", "nonce": "n-0S6_WzA2Mj", "exp": 1311281970, "iat": 1311280970, "auth_time": 1311280969, "acr": "urn:mace:incommon:iap:silver", "at_hash": "MTIzNDU2Nzg5MDEyMzQ1Ng" } 2.1.3. Authorization Error Response If the End-User denies the access request or if the request fails, the OP (Authorization Server) informs the RP (Client) by using the Error Response parameters defined in Sections 4.1.2.1 or 4.2.2.1 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749], according to the "response_type" used. In addition to the error codes defined in Sections 4.1.2.1 and 4.2.2.1 of OAuth 2.0, this specification also defines the following error codes: interaction_required The Authorization Server requires End-User interaction of some form to proceed. This error MAY be returned when the "prompt" parameter in the Authorization Request is set to "none" to request that the Authorization Server should not display any user interfaces to the End-User, but the Authorization Request cannot be completed without displaying a user interface for End- User interaction. login_required The Authorization Server requires End-User authentication. This error MAY be returned when the "prompt" parameter in the Authorization Request is set to "none" to request that the Authorization Server should not display any user interfaces to the End-User, but the Authorization Request cannot be completed without displaying a user interface for user authentication. session_selection_required The End-User is required to select a session at the Authorization Server. The End-User MAY be authenticated at the Authorization Server with different associated accounts, but the End-User did not select a session. This error MAY be returned when the "prompt" parameter in the Authorization Request is set to "none" to request that the Sakimura, et al. [Page 17] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 Authorization Server should not display any user interfaces to the End-User, but the Authorization Request cannot be completed without displaying a user interface to prompt for a session to use. consent_required The Authorization Server requires End-User consent. This error MAY be returned when the "prompt" parameter in the Authorization Request is set to "none" to request that the Authorization Server should not display any user interfaces to the End-User, but the Authorization Request cannot be completed without displaying a user interface for End-User consent. invalid_request_uri The "request_uri" in the Authorization Request returns an error or contains invalid data. invalid_request_object The "request" parameter contains an invalid Request Object. registration_not_supported The OP does not support use of the "registration" parameter. request_not_supported The OP does not support use of the "request" parameter. 2.2. Token Endpoint The RP (Client) sends an Access Token Request to the Token Endpoint to obtain an Access Token Response, which MAY include an Access Token, a Refresh Token, an ID Token, and other results. 2.2.1. Client Authentication During Client Registration, the RP (Client) MAY register an authentication method. If no method is registered, the default method of "client_secret_basic" MUST be used. The Supported options are: client_secret_basic Clients that have received a "client_secret" value from the Authorization Server, authenticate with the Authorization Server in accordance with Section 3.2.1 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] using HTTP Basic authentication scheme. client_secret_post Clients that have received a "client_secret" value from the Authorization Server, authenticate with the Authorization Server in accordance with Section 3.2.1 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] by including the Client Credentials in the request body. Sakimura, et al. [Page 18] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 client_secret_jwt Clients that have received a "client_secret" value from the Authorization Server create a JWT using an HMAC SHA algorithm, such as HMAC SHA-256. The HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) is calculated using the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the "client_secret" as the shared key. The Client authenticates in accordance with Section 2.2 of OAuth JWT Bearer Token Profiles [OAuth.JWT] and OAuth 2.0 Assertion Profile [OAuth.Assertions]. The JWT MUST contain the following REQUIRED Claim Values and MAY contain the following OPTIONAL Claim Values: iss REQUIRED. Issuer. This MUST contain the "client_id" of the OAuth Client. sub REQUIRED. Subject. This MUST contain the "client_id" of the OAuth Client. aud REQUIRED. Audience. The "aud" (audience) Claim. Value that identifies the Authorization Server as an intended audience. The Authorization Server MUST verify that it is an intended audience for the token. The Audience SHOULD be the URL of the Authorization Server's Token Endpoint. jti REQUIRED. JWT ID. A unique identifier for the token. The JWT ID MAY be used by implementations requiring message de- duplication for one-time use assertions. exp REQUIRED. Expiration time on or after which the ID Token MUST NOT be accepted for processing. iat OPTIONAL. Time at which the JWT was issued. The value is the number of seconds from 1970-01-01T0:0:0Z as measured in UTC until the desired date/time. The JWT MAY contain other Claims. Any Claims used that are not understood MUST be ignored. The authentication token MUST be sent as the value of the [OAuth.Assertions] "client_assertion" parameter. The value of the [OAuth.Assertions] "client_assertion_type" parameter MUST be "urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer", per [OAuth.JWT]. Sakimura, et al. [Page 19] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 private_key_jwt Clients that have registered a public key sign a JWT using the RSA algorithm if a RSA key was registered or the ECDSA algorithm if an Elliptic Curve key was registered (see JWA [JWA] for the algorithm identifiers). The Client authenticates in accordance with Section 2.2 of OAuth JWT Bearer Token Profiles [OAuth.JWT] and OAuth 2.0 Assertion Profile [OAuth.Assertions]. The JWT MUST contain the following REQUIRED Claim Values and MAY contain the following OPTIONAL Claim Values: iss REQUIRED. Issuer. This MUST contain the "client_id" of the OAuth Client. sub REQUIRED. Subject. This MUST contain the "client_id" of the OAuth Client. aud REQUIRED. Audience. The "aud" (audience) Claim. Value that identifies the Authorization Server as an intended audience. The Authorization Server MUST verify that it is an intended audience for the token. The Audience SHOULD be the URL of the Authorization Server's Token Endpoint. jti REQUIRED. JWT ID. A unique identifier for the token. The JWT ID MAY be used by implementations requiring message de- duplication for one-time use assertions. exp REQUIRED. Expiration time on or after which the ID Token MUST NOT be accepted for processing. iat OPTIONAL. Time at which the JWT was issued. The value is the number of seconds from 1970-01-01T0:0:0Z as measured in UTC until the desired date/time. The JWT MAY contain other Claims. Any Claims used that are not understood MUST be ignored. The authentication token MUST be sent as the value of the [OAuth.Assertions] "client_assertion" parameter. The value of the [OAuth.Assertions] "client_assertion_type" parameter MUST be "urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer", per [OAuth.JWT]. Sakimura, et al. [Page 20] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 For example (with line wraps for display purposes only): POST /token HTTP/1.1 Host: server.example.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded grant_type=authorization_code& code=i1WsRn1uB1& client_id=s6BhdRkqt3& client_assertion_type= urn%3Aietf%3Aparams%3Aoauth%3Aclient-assertion-type%3Ajwt-bearer& client_assertion=PHNhbWxwOl ... ZT 2.2.2. Access Token Request The Client obtains an Access Token by authenticating with the Authorization Server and presenting its Authorization Grant (in the form of an Authorization Code or Refresh Token). In addition to the Client authentication parameters, if this is a Refresh Token Request, the Client MUST send the additional parameters specified in Section 6 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749]. Otherwise, the Client MUST send the request parameters as specified in Section 4.1.3 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749]. 2.2.3. Access Token Response After receiving and validating a valid and authorized Access Token Request from the Client, the Authorization Server returns a successful response that includes an Access Token and an ID Token. The parameters in the successful response are defined in Section 4.1.4 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749]. This specification only describes OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Usage [RFC6750]. The OAuth 2.0 response parameter "token_type" MUST be set to "Bearer" unless another Token Type has been negotiated with the Client. Servers SHOULD support OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Usage [RFC6750] for interoperability. For security reasons Servers may only allow Clients to register specific "token_type". Clients MUST support OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Usage [RFC6750] and MAY support other "token_type". In addition to the OAuth 2.0 response parameters, the following parameters MUST be included in the response if the "grant_type" value is "authorization_code" and the Authorization Request "scope" parameter contained "openid": Sakimura, et al. [Page 21] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 id_token ID Token value associated with the authenticated session. An "id_token" MUST be returned when the "grant_type" value is "authorization_code" and MAY be returned when other grant types are used. If an ID Token is returned as a result of a token refresh request, the following requirements apply: its "iss" Claim value MUST be the same as in the ID Token issued when the original authentication occurred; its "sub" Claim value MUST be the same as in the ID Token issued when the original authentication occurred; its "iat" Claim MUST represent the time that the new ID Token is issued; if the ID Token contains an "auth_time" Claim, its value MUST represent the time of the original authentication - not the time that the new ID token is issued; if the ID Token contains an "azp" Claim, its value MUST be the same as in the ID Token issued when the original authentication occurred; otherwise, the same rules apply as apply when issuing an ID Token at the time of the original authentication. Following is a non-normative example: { "access_token": "SlAV32hkKG", "token_type": "Bearer", "refresh_token": "8xLOxBtZp8", "expires_in": 3600, "id_token": "eyJ0 ... NiJ9.eyJ1c ... I6IjIifX0.DeWt4Qu ... ZXso" } As in the OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749], Clients SHOULD ignore unrecognized response parameters. 2.2.4. Access Token Error Response If the Token Request is invalid or unauthorized, the Authorization Server constructs the error response. The parameters of the Token Error Response are defined as in Section 5.2 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749]. 2.3. UserInfo Endpoint The UserInfo Endpoint is an OAuth 2.0 Protected Resource that returns Claims about the authenticated End-User. The location of the UserInfo Endpoint MUST be a URL using the "https" scheme, which MAY contain port, path, and query parameter components. Sakimura, et al. [Page 22] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 2.3.1. UserInfo Request Clients send requests to the UserInfo Endpoint to obtain Claims about the End-User. The UserInfo Endpoint is an OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] Protected Resource that complies with the OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Usage [RFC6750] specification. The Access Token SHOULD be sent using the "Authorization" header field. The following parameters are defined for use in UserInfo Requests: access_token REQUIRED. Access Token obtained from an OpenID Connect Authorization Request. 2.3.2. UserInfo Response The UserInfo Claims MUST be returned as the members of a JSON object unless a signed or encrypted response was requested during Client Registration. The Claims defined in Section 2.5 can be returned, as can additional Claims not specified there. If a Claim is not returned, that Claim Name SHOULD be omitted from the JSON object representing the Claims; it SHOULD NOT be present with a null or empty string value. The "sub" (subject) Claim MUST always be returned in the UserInfo Response. NOTE: The UserInfo Endpoint response is not guaranteed to be about the End-User identified by the "sub" (subject) element of the ID Token. The "sub" Claim in the UserInfo Endpoint response MUST be verified to exactly match the "sub" Claim in the ID Token before using additional UserInfo Endpoint Claims. 2.3.3. UserInfo Error Response When an error condition occurs, the UserInfo Endpoint returns an Error Response as defined in Section 3 of OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Usage [RFC6750]. 2.4. Scope Values OpenID Connect Clients use "scope" values as defined in 3.3 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] to specify what access privileges are being requested for Access Tokens. The scopes associated with Access Tokens determine what resources will be available when they are used to access OAuth 2.0 protected endpoints. For OpenID Connect, scopes can be used to request that specific sets of information be made available as Claim Values. OAuth 2.0 allows additional scope values to be specified, as extensions. This specification describes only Sakimura, et al. [Page 23] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 the scope values used by OpenID Connect. Claims requested by the following scopes are treated by Authorization Servers as Voluntary Claims. OpenID Connect defines the following "scope" values: openid REQUIRED. Informs the Authorization Server that the Client is making an OpenID Connect request. If the "openid" scope value is not present, the behavior is entirely unspecified. profile OPTIONAL. This scope value requests access to the End- User's default profile Claims, which are: "name", "family_name", "given_name", "middle_name", "nickname", "preferred_username", "profile", "picture", "website", "gender", "birthdate", "zoneinfo", "locale", and "updated_time". email OPTIONAL. This scope value requests access to the "email" and "email_verified" Claims. address OPTIONAL. This scope value requests access to the "address" Claim. phone OPTIONAL. This scope value requests access to the "phone_number" and "phone_number_verified" Claims. offline_access OPTIONAL. This scope value requests that an OAuth 2.0 Refresh Token be issued that can be used to obtain an Access Token that grants access to the End-User's UserInfo Endpoint even when the user is not present (not logged in). Multiple scope values MAY be used by creating a space delimited, case sensitive list of ASCII scope values. The Claims requested by the "profile", "email", "address", and "phone" scope values are returned from the UserInfo Endpoint, as described in Section 2.3.2, when a "response_type" value is used that results in an Access Token being issued. However, when the "response_type" value used is "id_token" (which issues no Access Token), the resulting Claims are returned in the ID Token. In some cases, the End-User will be given the option to have the OpenID Provider decline to provide some or all information requested by Clients. To minimize the amount of information that the user is being asked to disclose, a Client may elect to only request a subset of the information available from the UserInfo Endpoint. Sakimura, et al. [Page 24] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 The following is a non-normative example of a "scope" Request. scope=openid profile email phone 2.5. Standard Claims This specification defines a set of standard Claims. They can be requested to be returned either in the UserInfo Response or in the ID Token. Sakimura, et al.

This URL MUST refer | | | | to an image file (for example, | | | | a PNG, JPEG, or GIF image | | | | file), rather than to a Web | | | | page containing an image. Note | | | | that this URL SHOULD | | | | specifically reference a | | | | profile photo of the End-User | | | | suitable for displaying when | | | | describing the End-User, rather | | | | than an arbitrary photo taken | | | | by the End-User. | | | | | | website | string | URL of the End-User's Web page | | | | or blog.

To represent only the | | | | year, "YYYY" format is allowed. | | | | Note that depending on the | | | | underlying platform's date | | | | related function, providing | | | | just year may result in varying | | | | month and day, so the | | | | implementers should take this | | | | factor into account to | | | | correctly process the dates. | | | | | | zoneinfo | string | String from zoneinfo [zoneinfo] | | | | time zone database representing | | | | the End-User's time zone.

[Page 28] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 | locale | string | End-User's locale, represented | | | | as a BCP47 [RFC5646] language | | | | tag. This is typically an ISO | | | | 639-1 Alpha-2 [ISO639-1] | | | | language code in lowercase and | | | | an ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 | | | | [ISO3166-1] country code in | | | | uppercase, separated by a dash. | | | | For example, "en-US" or | | | | "fr-CA". As a compatibility | | | | note, some implementations have | | | | used an underscore as the | | | | separator rather than a dash, | | | | for example, "en_US"; | | | | Implementations MAY choose to | | | | accept this locale syntax as | | | | well. | | | | | | phone_number | string | End-User's preferred telephone | | | | number. E.164 [E.164] is | | | | RECOMMENDED as the format of | | | | this Claim, for example, "+1 | | | | (425) 555-1212" or "+56 (2) 687 | | | | 2400". If the phone number | | | | contains an extension, it is | | | | RECOMMENDED that the extension | | | | be represented using the RFC | | | | 3966 [RFC3966] extension | | | | syntax, for example, "+1 (604) | | | | 555-1234;ext=5678". | | | | | Sakimura, et al. [Page 29] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 | phone_number_verified | boolean | True if the End-User's phone | | | | number has been verified; | | | | otherwise false. When this | | | | Claim Value is "true", this | | | | means that the OP took | | | | affirmative steps to ensure | | | | that this phone number was | | | | controlled by the End-User at | | | | the time the verification was | | | | performed. The means by which | | | | a phone number must be verified | | | | is context-specific, and | | | | dependent upon the trust | | | | framework or contractual | | | | agreements within which the | | | | parties are operating.

The "sub" (subject) Claim in the UserInfo Endpoint response MUST exactly match the "sub" Claim in the ID Token, before using additional UserInfo Endpoint Claims. The UserInfo Endpoint MUST return Claims in JSON format unless a different format was specified during Registration [OpenID.Registration]. The UserInfo Endpoint MAY return Claims in JWT format, which can be signed and/or encrypted. The UserInfo Sakimura, et al. [Page 30] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 Endpoint MUST return a content-type header to indicate the format that is being returned.

Address Claim The components of a physical mailing address. Implementations MAY return only a subset of the fields of an "address", depending upon the information available and the End-User's privacy preferences. For example, the "country" and "region" might be returned without returning more fine-grained address information. Implementations MAY return just the full address as a single string in the formatted sub-field, or they MAY return just the individual component fields using the other sub-fields, or they MAY return both. If both variants are returned, they SHOULD be describing the same address, with the formatted address indicating how the component fields should be combined. formatted Full mailing address, formatted for display or use on a mailing label. This field MAY contain multiple lines, separated by newline characters. This is the primary member of this Claim value, for the purposes of sorting and filtering. street_address Full street address component, which may include house number, street name, Post Office Box, and multi-line extended street address information. This field MAY contain multiple lines, separated by newline characters. Sakimura, et al.

Claims Languages and Scripts Human-readable Claim Values and Claim Values that reference human- readable values MAY be represented in multiple languages and scripts. To specify the languages and scripts, BCP47 [RFC5646] language tags are added to member names, delimited by a "#" character. For example, "family_name#ja-Kana-JP" expresses the Family Name in Katakana in Japanese, which is commonly used to index and represent the phonetics of the Kanji representation of the same represented as "family_name#ja-Hani-JP". As another example, both "website" and "website#de" Claim Values might be returned, referencing a Web site in an unspecified language and a Web site in German. Since Claim Names are case sensitive, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that language tag values used in Claim Names be spelled using the character case with which they are registered in the IANA Language Subtag Registry [IANA.Language]. In particular, normally language names are spelled with lowercase characters, region names are spelled with uppercase characters, and languages are spelled with mixed case characters. However, since BCP47 language tag values are case insensitive, implementations SHOULD interpret the language tag values supplied in a case insensitive manner. Per the recommendations in BCP47, language tag values for Claims should only be as specific as necessary. For instance, using "fr" might be sufficient in many contexts, rather than "fr-CA" or "fr-FR". Where possible, OPs should try to match requested Claim locales with Claims it has. For instance, if the Client asks for a Claim with a "de" (German) language tag and the OP has a value tagged with "de-CH" (Swiss German) and no generic German value, it would be appropriate for the OP to return the Swiss German value to the Client. (This intentionally moves as much of the complexity of language tag matching to the OP as possible, to simplify Clients.) A "claims_locales" request can be used to specify the preferred languages and scripts to use for the returned Claims. Section 2.6.2 describes how to request that specific Claims use particular languages and scripts. When the OP determines, either through the "claims_locales" Sakimura, et al. [Page 32] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 parameter, or by other means, that the End-User and Client are requesting Claims in only one set of languages and scripts, it is RECOMMENDED that OPs return Claims without language tags when they employ this language and script. It is also RECOMMENDED that Clients be written in a manner that they can handle and utilize Claims using language tags. 2.5.3. Claim Stability and Uniqueness The "sub" (subject) and "iss" (issuer) Claims are the only Claims that a Client can rely upon as a stable identifier for the End-User, since the "sub" Claim MUST be locally unique and never reassigned within the Issuer for a particular End-User, as described in Section 2.1.2.1. Therefore, the only guaranteed unique identifier for a given End-User is the combination of the "iss" Claim and the "sub" Claim. All other Claims carry no such guarantees across different issuers in terms of stability over time or uniqueness across users, and Issuers are permitted to apply local restrictions and policies. For instance, an Issuer MAY re-use an "email" Claim value across different End-Users at different points in time, and the claimed "email" address for a given End-User MAY change over time. Therefore, other Claims such as "email", "phone_number", and "preferred_username" and MUST NOT be used as unique identifiers for the End-User. 2.5.4. Additional Claims While this specification defines only small set of Claims as standard Claims, other Claims MAY be used in conjunction with the standard Claims. When using such Claims, it is RECOMMENDED that collision resistant names be used for the Claim Names, as described in Section 4.2 (Public Claim Names) of the JSON Web Token (JWT) [JWT] specification. Alternatively, Private Claim Names can be safely used when naming conflicts are unlikely to arise, as described in 4.3 of the JWT specification. Or, if specific additional Claims will have broad and general applicability, they can be registered with Reserved Claim Names, per Sections 4.1 and 9.1 of the JWT specification. 2.6. Claims Request The "claims" parameter requests that specific Claims be returned from the UserInfo Endpoint and/or in the ID Token. It is represented as a JSON object containing lists of Claims being requested from these locations. Properties of the Claims being requested may also be specified. Sakimura, et al. [Page 33] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 Support for the "claims" parameter is OPTIONAL. Should an OP not support this parameter and an RP uses it, the OP SHOULD return a set of Claims to the RP that it believes would be useful to the RP and the End-User using whatever heuristics it believes are appropriate. The "claims_parameter_supported" Discovery result indicates whether the OP supports this parameter. The "claims" parameter value is represented in an OAuth 2.0 request as UTF-8 encoded JSON (which ends up being form-urlencoded when passed as an OAuth parameter). When used in a Request Object value, per Section 2.9, the JSON is used as the value of the "claims" member. The top-level members of the Claims request JSON object are: userinfo OPTIONAL. Requests that the listed individual Claims be returned from the UserInfo Endpoint. If present, the listed Claims are being requested to be added to any Claims that may have also been requested using "scope" values. If not present, the Claims being requested from the UserInfo Endpoint are only those requested using "scope" values. When the "userinfo" member is used, the request MUST also use a "response_type" value that results in an Access Token being issued to use at the UserInfo Endpoint. id_token OPTIONAL. Requests that the listed individual Claims be returned in the ID Token. If present, the listed Claims are being requested to be added to the default Claims in the ID Token. If not present, the default ID Token Claims are requested. Other members MAY be present. Any members used that are not understood MUST be ignored. Sakimura, et al. [Page 34] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 An example Claims request is as follows: { "userinfo": { "given_name": {"essential": true}, "nickname": null, "email": {"essential": true}, "email_verified": {"essential": true}, "picture": null, "http://example.info/claims/groups": null }, "id_token": { "auth_time": {"essential": true}, "acr": {"values": ["urn:mace:incommon:iap:silver"] } } } Note that a Claim that is not in the standard set defined in Section 2.5, the (example) "http://example.info/claims/groups" Claim, is being requested. Using the "claims" parameter is the only way to request Claims outside the standard set. It is also the only way to request specific combinations of the standard Claims that can not be specified using scope values. 2.6.1. Individual Claims Requests The "userinfo" and "id_token" members of the "claims" request both are JSON objects with the names of the individual Claims being requested as the member names. The member values MUST be one of the following: null Indicates that this Claim is being requested in the default manner. In particular, this is a Voluntary Claim. For instance, the Claim request: "given_name": null requests the "given_name" Claim in the default manner. JSON Object Used to provide additional information about the Claim being requested. This specification defines the following members: Sakimura, et al. [Page 35] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 essential OPTIONAL. Indicates whether the Claim being requested is an Essential Claim. If the value is "true", this indicates that the Claim is an Essential Claim. For instance, the Claim request: "auth_time": {"essential": true} can be used to specify that it is Essential to return an "auth_time" Claim Value. If the value is "false", it indicates that it is a Voluntary Claim. The default is "false". By requesting Claims as Essential Claims the Client indicates to the End-User that releasing these Claims will ensure a smooth authorization for the specific task requested by the End-User. Note that even if the Claims are not available because the End-User did not authorize their release or they are not present, the Authorization Server MUST NOT generate an error when Claims are not returned, whether they are Essential or Voluntary. value OPTIONAL. Requests that the Claim be returned with a particular value. For instance the Claim request: "sub": {"value": "248289761001"} can be used to specify that the request apply to the End-User with subject identifier "248289761001". values OPTIONAL. Requests that the Claim be returned with one of a set of values, with the values appearing in order of preference. For instance the Claim request: "acr": {"essential": true, "values": ["urn:mace:incommon:iap:silver", "urn:mace:incommon:iap:bronze"]} specifies that it is Essential that the "acr" Claim be returned with either the value "urn:mace:incommon:iap:silver" or "urn:mace:incommon:iap:bronze". Other members MAY be defined to provide additional information about the requested Claims. Any members used that are not understood MUST be ignored. Note that when the "claims" request parameter is supported, the scope values that request Claims, as defined in Section 2.4, are Sakimura, et al. [Page 36] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 effectively shorthand methods for requesting sets of individual Claims. For example, using the scope value "openid email" and a "response_type" that returns an Access Token is equivalent to using the scope value "openid" and the following request for individual Claims. Equivalent of using the "email" scope value: { "userinfo": { "email": null, "email_verified": null } } 2.6.2. Languages and Scripts for Individual Claims As described in Section 2.5.2, human-readable Claims values and Claim Values that reference human-readable values MAY be represented in multiple languages and scripts. Within a request for individual Claims, requested languages and scripts for particular Claims may be requested by including Claim Names that contain "#"-separated BCP47 [RFC5646] language tags in the Claims request, using the Claim Name syntax specified in Section 2.5.2. For example, a Family Name in Katakana in Japanese can be requested using the Claim Name "family_name#ja-Kana-JP" and a Kanji representation of the Family Name in Japanese can be requested using the Claim Name "family_name#ja-Hani-JP". A German-language Web site can be requested with the Claim Name "website#de". If an OP receives a request for human-readable Claims in a language and script that it doesn't have, any versions of those Claims returned that don't use the requested language and script SHOULD use a language tag in the Claim Name. 2.7. Claim Types The UserInfo Endpoint MAY return the following three types of Claims: Normal Claims Claims that are directly asserted by the OpenID Provider. Aggregated Claims Claims that are asserted by a Claims Provider other than the OpenID Provider but are returned by OpenID Provider. Sakimura, et al. [Page 37] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 Distributed Claims Claims that are asserted by a Claims Provider other than the OpenID Provider but are returned as references by the OpenID Provider. The UserInfo Endpoint MUST support Normal Claims. Aggregated and Distributed Claims support is OPTIONAL. 2.7.1. Normal Claims Normal Claims are represented as members in a JSON object. The Claim Name is the member name and the Claim Value is the member value. The following is a non-normative response containing Normal Claims: { "name": "Jane Doe" "given_name": "Jane", "family_name": "Doe", "email": "janedoe@example.com", "picture": "http://example.com/janedoe/me.jpg" } 2.7.2. Aggregated and Distributed Claims Aggregated and distributed Claims are represented by using special "_claim_names" and "_claim_sources" members of the JSON object containing the Claims. _claim_names JSON object whose member names are the Claim Names for the Aggregated and Distributed Claims. The member values are references to the member names in the "_claim_sources" member from which the actual Claim Values can be retrieved. _claim_sources JSON object whose member names are referenced by the member values of the "_claim_names" member. The member values contain sets of Aggregated Claims or reference locations for Distributed Claims. The member values can have one of the following formats depending on whether it is providing Aggregated or Distributed Claims: Aggregated Claims JSON object that MUST contain the "JWT" member whose value is a JWT [JWT] that MUST contain all the Claims in the "_claim_names" object that references the corresponding "_claim_sources" member. Other members MAY be present. Any members used that are not understood MUST be ignored. Sakimura, et al. [Page 38] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 JWT REQUIRED. JWT containing Claim Values. The JWT SHOULD NOT contain a "sub" (subject) Claim unless its value is an identifier for the End-User at the Claims Provider (and not for the OpenID Provider or another party); this typically means that a "sub" Claim SHOULD NOT be provided. Distributed Claims JSON object that contains the following members and values: endpoint REQUIRED. OAuth 2.0 resource endpoint from which the associated Claim can be retrieved. The endpoint URL MUST return the Claim as a JWT. access_token OPTIONAL. Access Token enabling retrieval of the Claims from the endpoint URL by using the OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Usage [RFC6750] protocol. Claims SHOULD be requested using the Authorization Request header field and Claims Providers MUST support this method. If the Access Token is not available, Clients MAY need to retrieve the Access Token out of band or use an a priori Access Token that was negotiated between the Claims Provider and Client, or the Claims Provider MAY reauthenticate the End-User and/or reauthorize the Client. A "sub" (subject) Claim SHOULD NOT be returned from the Claims Provider unless its value is an identifier for the End-User at the Claims Provider (and not for the OpenID Provider or another party); this typically means that a "sub" Claim SHOULD NOT be provided. 2.7.2.1. Example of Aggregated Claims In this non-normative example, Claims from Claims Provider A are combined with other Claims held by the OpenID provider, with the Claims from Claims Provider A being returned as Aggregated Claims. Sakimura, et al. [Page 39] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 In this example, these Claims about Jane Doe have been issued by Claims Provider A: { "address": { "street_address": "1234 Hollywood Blvd.", "locality": "Los Angeles", "region": "CA", "postal_code": "90210", "country": "US"}, "phone_number": "+1 (310) 123-4567" } Claims Provider A signs the JSON Claims, representing them in a signed JWT: jwt_header.jwt_part2.jwt_part3. It is this JWT that is used by the OpenID Provider. In this example, this JWT containing Jane Doe's Aggregated Claims from Claims Provider A is combined with other Normal Claims, and returned as the following set of Claims: { "name": "Jane Doe", "given_name": "Jane", "family_name": "Doe", "birthdate": "0000-03-22", "eye_color": "blue", "email": "janedoe@example.com", "_claim_names": { "address": "src1", "phone_number": "src1" }, "_claim_sources": { "src1": {"JWT": "jwt_header.jwt_part2.jwt_part3"} } } 2.7.2.2. Example of Distributed Claims In this non-normative example, the OpenID Provider combines Normal Claims that it holds with references to Claims held by two different Claims Providers, B and C, incorporating references to some of the Claims held by B and C as Distributed Claims. Sakimura, et al. [Page 40] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 In this example, these Claims about Jane Doe are held by Claims Provider B (Jane Doe's bank): { "shipping_address": { "street_address": "1234 Hollywood Blvd.", "locality": "Los Angeles", "region": "CA", "postal_code": "90210", "country": "US"}, "payment_info": "Some_Card 1234 5678 9012 3456", "phone_number": "+1 (310) 123-4567" } Also in this example, this Claim about Jane Doe is held by Claims Provider C (a credit agency): { "credit_score": 650 } The OpenID Provider returns Jane Doe's Claims along with references to the Distributed Claims from Claims Provider B and Claims Provider C by sending the Access Tokens and URLs of locations from which the Distributed Claims can be retrieved: { "name": "Jane Doe", "given_name": "Jane", "family_name": "Doe", "email": "janedoe@example.com", "birthdate": "0000-03-22", "eye_color": "blue", "_claim_names": { "payment_info": "src1", "shipping_address": "src1", "credit_score": "src2" }, "_claim_sources": { "src1": {"endpoint": "https://bank.example.com/claim_source"}, "src2": {"endpoint": "https://creditagency.example.com/claims_here", "access_token": "ksj3n283dke"} } } Sakimura, et al. [Page 41] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 2.8. Subject Identifier Types The OpenID Provider's Discovery document SHOULD list its supported identifier types in the "subject_types_supported" element. If there is more than one type listed in the array, the Client MAY elect to provide its preferred identifier type using the "subject_type" parameter during Registration. The types supported by this specification are: public This provides the same "sub" (subject) value to all Clients. It is the default if the provider has no "subject_types_supported" element in its discovery document. pairwise This provides a different "sub" value to each Client, to prevent correlation of the user's activities by Clients without the user's permission. 2.8.1. Pairwise Identifier Algorithm The OpenID Provider MUST calculate a unique "sub" (subject) value for each Sector Identifier. The subject value MUST NOT be reversible by any party other than the OpenID Provider. Providers who use pairwise "sub" values SHOULD support the "sector_identifier_uri" in Dynamic Client Registration [OpenID.Registration]. It provides a way for a group of websites under common administrative control to have consistent pairwise "sub" values independent of the individual domain names. It also provides a way for Clients to change "redirect_uri" domains without having to reregister all of their users. If the Client has not provided a value for "sector_identifier_uri" in Dynamic Client Registration [OpenID.Registration], the Sector Identifier used for pairwise identifier calculation is the host component of the registered "redirect_uri". If there are multiple hostnames in the registered "redirect_uris", the Client MUST register a "sector_identifier_uri". When a "sector_identifier_uri" is provided, the host component of that URL is used as the Sector Identifier for the pairwise identifier calculation. The value of the "sector_identifier_uri" must be a URL using the "https" scheme that points to a JSON file containing an array of "redirect_uri" values. The values of the registered "redirect_uris" must be included in the elements of the array, or the registration MUST fail. A number of algorithms can be used by OpenID Providers to calculate pairwise identifiers. Three example methods are: Sakimura, et al. [Page 42] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 1. The Sector Identifier can be concatenated with a local account ID and a salt value that is kept secret by the Provider. The concatenated string is then hashed using an appropriate algorithm. Calculate "sub" = SHA-256 ( sector_identifier | local_account_id | salt ). 2. The Sector Identifier can be concatenated with a local account ID and a salt value that is kept secret by the Provider. The concatenated string is then encrypted using an appropriate algorithm. Calculate "sub" = AES-128 ( sector_identifier | local_account_id | salt ). 3. The Issuer creates a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) for the pair of Sector Identifier and local account ID and stores this value. 2.9. Request Object The "request" parameter enables OpenID Connect requests to be passed in a single, self-contained parameter and to be signed and optionally encrypted. It represents the request as JWT whose Claims are the request parameters specified in Section 2.1.1.1. This JWT is called a Request Object. Support for the "request" parameter is OPTIONAL. The "request_parameter_supported" Discovery result indicates whether the OP supports this parameter. Should an OP not support this parameter and an RP uses it, the OP MUST return the "request_not_supported" error. When the "request" parameter is used, the OpenID Connect request parameter values contained in the JWT supersede those passed using the OAuth 2.0 request syntax. However, some parameters MAY be passed using the OAuth 2.0 request syntax even when a Request Object is used; this would typically be done to enable a cached, pre-signed (and possibly pre-encrypted) Request Object value to be used containing the fixed request parameters, while parameters that may vary with each request, such as "state" and "nonce", are passed as OAuth 2.0 parameters. Even if a "scope" parameter is present in the Request Object value, a "scope" parameter MUST always be passed using the OAuth 2.0 request Sakimura, et al. [Page 43] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 syntax containing the "openid" scope value to indicate to the underlying OAuth 2.0 logic that this is an OpenID Connect request. The Request Object MAY be signed or unsigned (plaintext). When it is plaintext, this is indicated by use of the "none" algorithm [JWA] in the JWS header. If signed, the Request Object SHOULD contain the Claims "iss" (issuer) and "aud" (audience) as members, with their semantics being as defined in the JWT [JWT] specification. The Request Object MAY also be encrypted using JWE [JWE], with nested signing and encryption performed as described in the JWT [JWT] specification. "request" and "request_uri" parameters MUST NOT be included in Request Objects. An example set of Request Object Claims before base64url encoding and JWS signing is as follows: { "response_type": "code id_token", "client_id": "s6BhdRkqt3", "redirect_uri": "https://client.example.org/cb", "scope": "openid", "state": "af0ifjsldkj", "login_hint": "janedoe@example.org", "max_age": 86400, "claims": { "userinfo": { "given_name": {"essential": true}, "nickname": null, "email": {"essential": true}, "email_verified": {"essential": true}, "picture": null }, "id_token": { "auth_time": {"essential": true}, "acr": { "values":["urn:mace:incommon:iap:silver"] } } } } Sakimura, et al. [Page 44] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 2.10. Using the "request_uri" Parameter The "request_uri" parameter enables OpenID Connect requests to be passed by reference, rather than by value. This parameter is used identically to the "request" parameter, other than that the Request Object value is retrieved from the resource at the specified URL, rather than passed by value. The "request_uri_parameter_supported" Discovery result indicates whether the OP supports this parameter. When the "request_uri" parameter is used, the OpenID Connect request parameter values contained in the referenced JWT supersede those passed using the OAuth 2.0 request syntax. However, some parameters MAY be passed using the OAuth 2.0 request syntax even when a "request_uri" is used; this would typically be done to enable a cached, pre-signed (and possibly pre-encrypted) Request Object value to be used containing the fixed request parameters, while parameters that may vary with each request, such as "state" and "nonce", are passed as OAuth 2.0 parameters. Even if a "scope" parameter is present in the referenced Request Object, a "scope" parameter MUST always be passed using the OAuth 2.0 request syntax containing the "openid" scope value to indicate to the underlying OAuth 2.0 logic that this is an OpenID Connect request. Servers MAY cache the contents of the resources referenced by request URIs. If the contents of the referenced resource could ever change, the URI SHOULD include the base64url encoded SHA-256 hash of the referenced resource contents as the fragment component of the URI. If the fragment value used for a URI changes, that signals the server that any cached value for that URI with the old fragment value is no longer valid. Note that Clients MAY pre-register "request_uri" values using the "request_uris" parameter defined in Section 2 of the OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration 1.0 [OpenID.Registration] specification. 2.10.1. "request_uri" Rationale There are several reasons that one might choose to use the "request_uri" parameter: 1. The set of request parameters can become large, and may exceed browser URI size limitations. Passing the request parameters by reference can solve this problem. Sakimura, et al. [Page 45] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 2. Passing a "request_uri" value, rather than a complete request by value, may reduce request latency. 3. Most requests for Claims from an RP are constant. The "request_uri" is a way of creating and sometimes also signing and encrypting a constant set of request parameters in advance. (The "request_uri" value becomes an "artifact" representing a particular fixed set of request parameters.) 4. Pre-registering a fixed set of request parameters at registration time enables OPs to cache and pre-validate the request parameters at registration time, meaning they need not be retrieved at request time. Sakimura, et al. [Page 46] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 3. Serializations Parameter names and values MAY be JSON serialized into a JSON structure. 3.1. JSON Serialization The parameters are serialized into a JSON structure by adding each parameter at the highest structure level. Parameter names and string values are included as JSON strings. Numerical values are included as JSON numbers. Each parameter MAY have a JSON structure as its value. Following is a non-normative example of such serialization: { "access_token":"SlAV32hkKG", "expires_in":3600, "refresh_token":"8xLOxBtZp8" } Sakimura, et al. [Page 47] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 4. Signatures and Encryption Depending on the transport through which the messages are sent, the integrity of the message may not be guaranteed and the originator of the message may not be authenticated. To mitigate these risks, Request Object, Token Request, ID Token, and UserInfo Response values MAY utilize JSON Web Signature (JWS) [JWS] to sign the contents. To achieve message confidentiality, Request Object, Token Request, ID Token, and UserInfo Response values MAY use JSON Web Encryption (JWE) [JWE] to encrypt the content. When the message is both signed and encrypted, it MUST be signed first and then encrypted, per Section 10.13, with nesting performed in the same manner as specified for JWTs [JWT]. Note that all JWE encryption methods perform integrity checking. 4.1. Supported Algorithms The server advertises its supported signing and encryption algorithms in its discovery document. The algorithm identifiers are specified in JWA [JWA]. The related elements are: userinfo_signing_alg_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWS [JWS] signing algorithms ("alg" values) [JWA] supported by the UserInfo Endpoint to encode the Claims in a JWT [JWT]. userinfo_encryption_alg_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWE [JWE] encryption algorithms ("alg" values) [JWA] supported by the UserInfo Endpoint to encode the Claims in a JWT [JWT]. userinfo_encryption_enc_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWE encryption algorithms ("enc" values) [JWA] supported by the UserInfo Endpoint to encode the Claims in a JWT [JWT]. id_token_signing_alg_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWS signing algorithms ("alg" values) supported by the Authorization Server for the ID Token to encode the Claims in a JWT [JWT]. id_token_encryption_alg_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWE encryption algorithms ("alg" values) supported by the Authorization Server for the ID Token to encode the Claims in a JWT [JWT]. Sakimura, et al. [Page 48] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 id_token_encryption_enc_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWE encryption algorithms ("enc" values) supported by the Authorization Server for the ID Token to encode the Claims in a JWT [JWT]. request_object_signing_alg_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWS signing algorithms ("alg" values) supported by the Authorization Server for Request Object values. Servers SHOULD support "none" and "RS256". request_object_encryption_alg_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWE encryption algorithms ("alg" values) supported by the Authorization Server for Request Object values. request_object_encryption_enc_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWE encryption algorithms ("enc" values) supported by the Authorization Server for Request Object values. token_endpoint_auth_signing_alg_values_supported JSON array containing a list of the JWS signing algorithms ("alg" values) supported by the Token Endpoint for the "private_key_jwt" and "client_secret_jwt" methods to encode the JWT [JWT]. Servers SHOULD support "RS256". The Client registers its required algorithms for Signing and Encryption using the following Registration parameters: request_object_signing_alg OPTIONAL. JWS signature algorithm [JWA] required for Request Objects by the Authorization Server. All Request Objects from this "client_id" MUST be rejected if not signed by this algorithm. Servers SHOULD support "RS256". userinfo_signed_response_alg OPTIONAL. JWS signature algorithm [JWA] required for UserInfo Responses. If this is specified the response will be JWT [JWT] serialized. userinfo_encrypted_response_alg OPTIONAL. JWE "alg" algorithm [JWA] required for UserInfo Responses. If this is requested in combination with signing, the response MUST be signed first then encrypted, per Section 10.13. If this is specified, the response will be JWT [JWT] serialized. userinfo_encrypted_response_enc OPTIONAL. JWE "enc" algorithm [JWA] required for UserInfo Responses. If "userinfo_encrypted_response_alg" is specified the default for this value is "A128CBC+HS256". Sakimura, et al. [Page 49] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 id_token_signed_response_alg OPTIONAL. JWS signature algorithm [JWA] required for ID Tokens issued to this "client_id". The default if not specified is "RS256". The public key for validating the signature is provided by retrieving the document from the "jwks_uri" element from discovery. id_token_encrypted_response_alg OPTIONAL. JWE "alg" algorithm [JWA] required for ID Tokens issued to this "client_id". If this is requested, the response MUST be signed then encrypted. The default if not specified is no encryption. id_token_encrypted_response_enc OPTIONAL. JWE "enc" algorithm [JWA] required for ID Tokens issued to this "client_id". If "id_token_encrypted_response_alg" is specified the default for this value is "A128CBC+HS256". 4.2. Keys The OpenID Provider provides its public keys during Discovery using the following element: jwks_uri REQUIRED. URL of the OP's JSON Web Key Set [JWK] document that contains the Server's signing key(s) that are used for signing responses to the Client. The JWK Set MAY also contain the Server's encryption key(s) that are used by the Client to encrypt requests to the Server. When both signing and encryption keys are made available, the "use" (Key Use) parameter value is REQUIRED for all keys in the document to indicate each key's intended usage. Likewise, the Client can provide its public keys during Registration using the following element: jwks_uri OPTIONAL. URL for the Client's JSON Web Key Set [JWK] document containing key(s) that are used for signing requests to the OP. The JWK Set MAY also contain the Client's encryption keys(s) that are used by the OP to encrypt the responses to the Client. When both signing and encryption keys are made available, the "use" (Key Use) parameter value is REQUIRED for all keys in the document to indicate each key's intended usage. 4.2.1. PKIX Key Type In addition to the Key Types defined in JSON Web Algorithms [JWA] the "jwks_uri" JWK Set can also contain a "PKIX" Key Type, which is a key type used to enable a JWK to contain a chain of PKIX certificates. [[ Note: The PKIX Key Type is derived from the JSON Web Key (JWK) for Sakimura, et al. [Page 50] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 PKIX Certificates [JWK.PKIX] specification, which is an early work in progress. In the future, should this functionality be incorporated into a JOSE working group specification, it would then no longer be replicated in this document. ]] The PKIX Key Type defines the following JWK parameters: kty REQUIRED. The value of the "kty" parameter MUST be "PKIX". x5c REQUIRED. Contains a chain of one or more PKIX certificates [RFC5280]. The certificate chain is represented as a JSON array of certificate value strings. Each string in the array is a DER [ITU.X690.1994] PKIX certificate encoded as base64 [RFC4648] (note: not base64url). The array MUST have at least one value, which MUST be the PKIX certificate of the actor (e.g., the singer of a [JWS], or a recipient of a [JWE]). Each additional value of the array (if any) MUST be the PKIX certificate that certifies the previous certificate. The PKIX key type enables the same key to be represented as an X.509 certificate as well as a simple JWK formatted bare key in the same document. When the same key is published in both formats, the values of the "kid" (Key ID), "use" (Key Use) and "alg" (Algorithm) parameters MUST be the same for both. When both signing and encryption keys are made available, the "use" (Key Use) parameter value is REQUIRED for all keys in the JWK Set at the "jwks_uri" to indicate each key's intended usage. Although some algorithms allow the same key pair to be used for both signatures and encryption, doing so is NOT RECOMMENDED, as it is less secure. Sakimura, et al. [Page 51] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 The following is a non-normative example of a "jwks_uri" document with one RSA signing key represented using both the "RSA" and "PKIX" key types: {"keys":[ {"kty":"RSA", "use":"sig", "kid":"1b94c", "n":"vrjOfz9Ccdgx5nQudyhdoR17V-IubWMeOZCwX_jj0hgAsz2J_pqYW08 PLbK_PdiVGKPrqzmDIsLI7sA25VEnHU1uCLNwBuUiCO11_-7dYbsr4iJmG0Q u2j8DsVyT1azpJC_NG84Ty5KKthuCaPod7iI7w0LK9orSMhBEwwZDCxTWq4a YWAchc8t-emd9qOvWtVMDC2BXksRngh6X5bUYLy6AyHKvj-nUy1wgzjYQDwH MTplCoLtU-o-8SNnZ1tmRoGE9uJkBLdh5gFENabWnU5m1ZqZPdwS-qo-meMv VfJb6jJVWRpl2SUtCnYG2C32qvbWbjZ_jBPD5eunqsIo1vQ", "e":"AQAB"}, {"kty":"PKIX", "use":"sig", "kid":"1b94c", "x5c": ["MIIDQjCCAiqgAwIBAgIGATz/FuLiMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMGIxCzAJB gNVBAYTAlVTMQswCQYDVQQIEwJDTzEPMA0GA1UEBxMGRGVudmVyMRwwGgYD VQQKExNQaW5nIElkZW50aXR5IENvcnAuMRcwFQYDVQQDEw5CcmlhbiBDYW1 wYmVsbDAeFw0xMzAyMjEyMzI5MTVaFw0xODA4MTQyMjI5MTVaMGIxCzAJBg NVBAYTAlVTMQswCQYDVQQIEwJDTzEPMA0GA1UEBxMGRGVudmVyMRwwGgYDV QQKExNQaW5nIElkZW50aXR5IENvcnAuMRcwFQYDVQQDEw5CcmlhbiBDYW1w YmVsbDCCASIwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADggEPADCCAQoCggEBAL64zn8/QnH YMeZ0LncoXaEde1fiLm1jHjmQsF/449IYALM9if6amFtPDy2yvz3YlRij66 s5gyLCyO7ANuVRJx1NbgizcAblIgjtdf/u3WG7K+IiZhtELto/A7Fck9Ws6 SQvzRvOE8uSirYbgmj6He4iO8NCyvaK0jIQRMMGQwsU1quGmFgHIXPLfnpn fajr1rVTAwtgV5LEZ4Iel+W1GC8ugMhyr4/p1MtcIM42EA8BzE6ZQqC7VPq PvEjZ2dbZkaBhPbiZAS3YeYBRDWm1p1OZtWamT3cEvqqPpnjL1XyW+oyVVk aZdklLQp2Btgt9qr21m42f4wTw+Xrp6rCKNb0CAwEAATANBgkqhkiG9w0BA QUFAAOCAQEAh8zGlfSlcI0o3rYDPBB07aXNswb4ECNIKG0CETTUxmXl9KUL +9gGlqCz5iWLOgWsnrcKcY0vXPG9J1r9AqBNTqNgHq2G03X09266X5CpOe1 zFo+Owb1zxtp3PehFdfQJ610CDLEaS9V9Rqp17hCyybEpOGVwe8fnk+fbEL 2Bo3UPGrpsHzUoaGpDftmWssZkhpBJKVMJyf/RuP2SmmaIzmnw9JiSlYhzo 4tpzd5rFXhjRbg4zW9C+2qok+2+qDM1iJ684gPHMIY8aLWrdgQTxkumGmTq gawR+N5MDtdPTEQ0XfIBc2cJEUyMTY5MPvACWpkA6SdS4xSvdXK3IVfOWA=="]} ]} 4.3. Signing The signing party MUST select a signature algorithm based on the supported algorithms of the recipient in Section 4.1. Sakimura, et al. [Page 52] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 Asymmetric Signatures When using RSA or ECDSA Signatures, the "alg" Claim of the JWS header MUST be set to the appropriate algorithm as defined in JSON Web Algorithms [JWA]. The private key MUST be the one associated with the Public Signing Key provided in Section 4.2. If there are multiple keys in the referenced JWK document, a "kid" value MUST be provided in the JWS header. The key usage of the respective keys MUST support signature. Symmetric Signatures When using MAC-based signatures, the "alg" Claim of the JWS header MUST be set to a MAC algorithm, as defined in JSON Web Algorithms [JWA]. The MAC key used is the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the "client_secret" value. See Section 10.17 for a discussion of entropy requirements for "client_secret" values. See Section 10.18 for Security Considerations about the need for signed requests. 4.3.1. Rotation of Asymmetric Signing Keys Rotation of signing keys can be accomplished with the following approach. The signer publishes its keys in a JWK Set at the "jwks_uri" location and includes the "kid" of the signing key in the JWS header of each message to indicate to the verifier which key is to be used to validate the signature. Keys can be rolled over by periodically adding new keys to the JWK Set at "jwks_uri". The signer can begin using a new key at its discretion and signals the change to the verifier using the "kid" value. The verifier knows to go back to the "jwks_uri" to re-retrieve the keys when it sees an unfamiliar "kid" value. The JWK Set document at the "jwks_uri" should retain recently decommissioned signing keys for a reasonable period of time to facilitate a smooth transition. 4.4. Encryption The encrypting party MUST select an encryption algorithm based on the supported algorithms of the recipient in Section 4.1. All JWTs MUST be signed before encryption to enable verification of the Issuer. Asymmetric Encryption: RSA Use the link registered/discovered in Section 4.2 to retrieve the relevant key. If there are multiple keys in the referenced JWK document, a "kid" value MUST be provided in the JWE header. Use the supported RSA key wrapping algorithm to wrap a random "Content Master Key" to be used for encrypting the signed JWT. The key usage of the respective keys MUST include encryption. Sakimura, et al. [Page 53] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 Asymmetric Encryption: Elliptic Curve Create an ephemeral Elliptic Curve public key for the "epk" element of the JWE header. Use the link registered/discovered in Section 4.2 to retrieve the relevant key. If there are multiple keys in the referenced JWK document, a "kid" value MUST be provided in the JWE header. Use the ECDH-ES algorithm to wrap a random "Content Master Key" to be used for encrypting the signed JWT. The key usage of the respective keys MUST support encryption. Symmetric Encryption The symmetric encryption key is derived from the "client_secret" value by using a left truncated SHA-256 hash of the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the "client_secret". The SHA-256 value MUST be left truncated to the appropriate bit length for the AES key wrapping algorithm used, for instance, to 128 bits for "A128KW". See Section 10.19 for Security Considerations about the need for encrypted requests. 4.4.1. Rotation of Asymmetric Encryption Keys Rotating encryption keys is necessarily a different process than for signing keys because the encrypting party starts the process and thus cannot rely on a change in kid as a signal to know that keys need to change. The encrypting party still uses the kid header in the JWE to tell the decrypting party which private key to use to decrypt, however, the encrypting party needs to first select the most appropriate key from those provided in the JWK Set at "jwks_uri". To rotate keys, the decrypting party can publish new keys at "jwks_uri" and remove from the JWK Set those that are being decommissioned. The "jwks_uri" should include a "Cache-Control" header in the response that contains a "max-age" directive, as defined in RFC 2616 [RFC2616], which allows the encrypting party to safely cache the JWK Set and not have to re-retrieve the document for every encryption event. The decrypting party should remove decommissioned keys from the JWK Set at "jwks_uri" but retain them internally for some reasonable period of time, coordinated with the cache duration, to facilitate a smooth transition between keys by allowing the encrypting party some time to obtain the new keys. The cache duration should also be coordinated with the issuance of new signing keys as described in Section 4.3.1. Sakimura, et al. [Page 54] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 5. Validation If any of the validation procedures defined in this specification fail, any operations requiring the information that failed to correctly validate MUST be aborted and the information that failed to validate MUST NOT be used. 5.1. Authorization Request Validation Authorization Request Validation consists of two main steps: (1) decryption and signature validation of the value of "request" or the content of "request_uri", and (2) parameter validation. If a Request Object value was sent in the "request" parameter or by reference in the "request_uri" parameter, the Request Object MUST validate as JWS [JWS] or JWE [JWE] encoded objects, for which nested encryption and signing may have been performed in the manner described in the JWT [JWT] specification. 5.1.1. Encrypted Request Object If the Authorization Server has advertised JWE encryption algorithms in the "request_object_encryption_alg_values_supported" and "request_object_encryption_enc_values_supported" elements of its Discovery Document, these are used by the Client to encrypt the JWT. The Authorization Server MUST decode the JWT in accordance with the JSON Web Encryption [JWE] specification. The result MAY be either a signed or unsigned (plaintext) Request Object. In the former case, signature validation MUST be performed as defined in Section 5.1.2. The Authorization Server MUST return the error if there is a decryption error. 5.1.2. Signed Request Object To perform Signature Validation, the "alg" parameter in the JWS header MUST match the value of the "request_object_signing_alg" set during Client Registration [OpenID.Registration] or a value that was pre-registered by other means. The signature must be validated against the key registered for that "client_id" and algorithm, in accordance with the JSON Web Signature [JWS] specification. The Authorization Server MUST return the Authorization Error Response if there is a signature validation error. Sakimura, et al. [Page 55] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 5.1.3. Parameter Validation The Authorization Server MUST construct the Authorization Request Message from the Request Object value and the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Request parameters. If the same parameter exists both in the Request Object and the OAuth Authorization Request parameters, the parameter in the Request Object is used. Using this Authorization Request Message, the Authorization Server performs the following steps of the request validation: 1. The Authorization Server MUST validate all the OAuth 2.0 parameters according to the OAuth 2.0 specification. 2. The Authorization Server MUST verify that all the required parameters are present. 3. If the "sub" (subject) Claim as a member of "id_token" element is requested with a specific value, the Authorization Server MUST only send a positive response if that user has an active session with the Authorization Server. The Authorization Server MUST not reply with an ID Token or Access Token for a different user, even if they have an active session with the Authorization Server. 4. If the "acr" Claim is requested as an Essential Claim for the ID Token with a "values" parameter requesting specific Authentication Context Class Reference values, then the Authorization Server MUST return an "acr" Claim Value that matches one of the requested values. The Authorization Server MAY ask the user to re-authenticate with additional factors to meet this requirement. If this is an Essential Claim and the requirement cannot be met, then the Authorization Server MUST treat that outcome as a failed authentication attempt. 5. The Client MAY request this Claim as an optional Claim by using the "acr_values" request parameter or by not including "essential": true in the individual "acr" Claim request. If the Claim is not Essential and the requested value for the user cannot be provided, the Authorization Server SHOULD return the session's current "acr" as the value of the "acr" Claim. If the Claim is not Essential, the Authorization Server is not required to provide this Claim in its response. If the Authorization Server encounters any error, it MUST return the error response. Sakimura, et al. [Page 56] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 5.2. ID Token Validation To validate the ID Token in the Authorization or Token Endpoint Response, the Client MUST do the following: 1. If the Client has provided an "id_token_encrypted_response_alg" parameter during Registration, decrypt the ID Token using the key pair specified during Registration. 2. The Client MUST validate that the "aud" (audience) Claim contains its "client_id" value registered at the Issuer identified by the "iss" (issuer) Claim as an audience. The "aud" (audience) Claim may contain an array with more than one element. The ID Token MUST be rejected if the ID Token does not list the Client as a valid audience, or if it contains additional audiences not trusted by the Client. 3. If the token contains multiple audiences or contains an "azp" (authorized presenter) Claim, the Client SHOULD verify the identity of the presenter. The authorized presenter of the token is identified by an "azp" Claim in the token. The OAuth 2.0 Assertion Profile [OAuth.Assertions], a direct connection to the Token Endpoint or other extension may be used to identify the presenter. 4. If the "id_token" is received via direct communication between the Client and the Token Endpoint, the TLS server validation MAY be used to validate the issuer in place of checking the token signature. The Client MUST validate the signature of all other ID Tokens according to JWS [JWS] using the algorithm specified in the "alg" parameter of the JWT header. 5. The "alg" value SHOULD be the default of "RS256" or the algorithm sent by the Client in the "id_token_signed_response_alg" parameter during Registration. 6. If the "alg" parameter of the JWT header is a MAC based algorithm such as "HS256", "HS384", or "HS512", the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the "client_secret" corresponding to the "client_id" contained in the "aud" (audience) Claim are used as the key to validate the signature. Multiple audiences are not supported for MAC based algorithms. 7. For other Signing algorithms, the Client must use the signing key provided in Discovery by the Issuer. The issuer must exactly match the value of the "iss" (issuer) Claim. Sakimura, et al. [Page 57] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 8. The current time MUST be less than the value of the "exp" Claim. 9. The "iat" Claim can be used to reject tokens that were issued too far away from the current time, limiting the amount of time that nonces must be stored to prevent attacks. The acceptable range is Client specific. 10. If a nonce value was sent in the Authorization Request, a "nonce" Claim MUST be present and its value checked to verify that it is the same value as the one that was sent in the Authorization Request. The Client SHOULD check the "nonce" value for replay attacks. The precise method for detecting replay attacks is Client specific. 11. If the "acr" Claim was requested, the Client SHOULD check that the asserted Claim Value is appropriate. The meaning and processing of "acr" Claim Values is out of scope for this specification. 12. If the "auth_time" Claim was requested, either through a specific request for this Claim or by using the "max_age" parameter, the Client SHOULD check the "auth_time" Claim value and request re-authentication if it determines too much time has elapsed since the last End-User authentication. 5.3. UserInfo Response Validation To validate the UserInfo Response, the Client MUST do the following: 1. If the Client has provided a "userinfo_encrypted_response_alg" parameter during Registration, decrypt the UserInfo Response using the key pair specified during Registration. 2. If the response was signed, the Client SHOULD validate the signature according to JWS [JWS]. 3. Check that the OP that responded was the intended OP through a TLS server certificate check, per RFC 6125 [RFC6125]. 5.4. Access Token Validation To validate an Access Token issued from the Authorization Endpoint with an ID Token in response to a request containing a "response_type" of "token id_token" or "code token id_token", the Client SHOULD do the following: Sakimura, et al. [Page 58] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 1. Hash the "access_token" with the hash algorithm specified in JWS [JWA] for the "alg" parameter in the ID Token's JWS [JWS] header. 2. Take the left-most half of the hash and base64url encode it. 3. The value of "at_hash" in the ID Token MUST match the value produced in the previous step if "at_hash" is present in the ID Token. 5.5. Code Validation To validate a "code" issued from the Authorization Endpoint with an ID Token in response to a request containing a "response_type" of "code id_token" or "code token id_token", the Client SHOULD do the following: 1. Hash the "code" with the hash algorithm specified in JWS [JWA] for the "alg" parameter in the ID Token's JWS [JWS] header. 2. Take the left-most half of the hash and base64url encode it. 3. The value of "c_hash" in the ID Token MUST match the value produced in the previous step if "c_hash" is present in the ID Token. Sakimura, et al. [Page 59] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 6. Offline Access The "offline_access" scope value requests that an OAuth 2.0 Refresh Token be issued that can be used to obtain an Access Token that grants access to the End-User's UserInfo Endpoint even when the user is not present (not logged in). When offline access is requested, a "prompt" parameter value of "consent" MUST be used. The user MUST always explicitly consent to the return of a Refresh Token that enables offline access. A previously saved user consent is not sufficient to grant offline access. Upon receipt of a scope parameter containing the "offline_access" value, the Authorization Server: o MUST ensure that the prompt parameter contains "consent"; if the prompt parameter does not contain "consent" then it MUST ignore the "offline_access" request, o MUST ignore the "offline_access" request if the Client is not requesting a "response_type" of "code" or "code id_token". o MUST explicitly receive user consent for all Clients when the registered "application_type" is "web", o SHOULD explicitly receive user consent for all Clients when the registered "application_type" is "native". The use of Refresh Tokens is not exclusive to the "offline_access" use case. The Authorization Server MAY grant Refresh Tokens in other contexts that are beyond the scope of this specification. Sakimura, et al. [Page 60] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 7. Self-Issued OpenID Provider OpenID Connect supports Self-Issued OpenID Providers - personal OPs that issue self-signed ID Tokens. Self-Issued OPs use the special Issuer Identifier "https://self-issued.me". 7.1. Self-Issued OpenID Provider Discovery If the input identifier for the discovery process contains the domain self-issued.me, dynamic discovery is not performed. Instead, then the following static configuration values are used: { "authorization_endpoint": "openid:", "issuer": "https://self-issued.me", "scopes_supported": ["openid", "profile", "email", "address", "phone"], "response_types_supported": ["id_token"], "subject_types_supported": ["pairwise"], "id_token_signing_alg_values_supported": ["RS256"], "request_object_signing_alg_values_supported": ["none", "RS256"] } Note: The OpenID Foundation may consider hosting a site https://self-issued.me/ that returns the above static configuration file so that the Client would not need any special treatment for discovery of the Self-Issued OP. 7.2. Self-Issued OpenID Provider Registration When using a Self-Issued OP, the Client is deemed to have registered with the OP and obtained following Client Registration Response. client_id "redirect_uri" value of the Client. expires_at 0 Note: The OpenID Foundation may consider hosting the (stateless) endpoint "https://self-issued.me/registration/1.0/" that returns the response above so that the Client would not need to perform any special processing for registration of a Self-Issued OP. Sakimura, et al. [Page 61] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 7.2.1. Providing Additional Registration Information The "registration" request parameter is used by the Client to provide information about itself to a Self-Issued OP that would normally be provided to an OP during Dynamic Client Registration. The value is a JSON object containing name/value pairs defined in Section 2.1 of the OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration 1.0 [OpenID.Registration] specification. None of this information is required by Self-Issued OPs, so the use of this parameter is OPTIONAL. The "registration" parameter value is represented in an OAuth 2.0 request as UTF-8 encoded JSON (which ends up being form-urlencoded when passed as an OAuth parameter). When used in a Request Object value, per Section 2.9, the JSON is used as the value of the "registration" member. The Registration parameters that would typically be used in requests to Self-Issued OPs are "policy_uri", "tos_uri", and "logo_uri". If the Client uses more than one redirect URI, the "redirect_uris" parameter would be used to register them. Finally, if the Client is requesting encrypted responses, it would use the "jwks_uri", "id_token_encrypted_response_alg" and "id_token_encrypted_response_enc" parameters. 7.3. Self-Issued OpenID Provider Request The Client sends the Authorization Request to the Authorization Endpoint with the following parameters: response_type REQUIRED. Constant string value "id_token". client_id REQUIRED. Client ID value for the Client, which in this case contains the "redirect_uri" value of the Client. Since the Client's "redirect_uri" URI value is communicated as the Client ID, a "redirect_uri" parameter is NOT REQUIRED to also be included in the request. scope REQUIRED. "scope" parameter value, as specified in Section 2.4. id_token_hint OPTIONAL. Previously issued ID Token passed to the Authorization Server as a hint about the End-User's current or past authenticated session with the Client. This SHOULD be present when "prompt=none" is used. If the End-User identified by the ID Token is logged in or is logged in by the request, then the Authorization Server returns a positive response; otherwise, it SHOULD return a negative response. Sakimura, et al. [Page 62] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 If the ID Token received by the RP is encrypted, the Client MUST decrypt the signed ID Token contained within the encrypted ID Token. The Client MAY re-encrypt the signed ID token to the Authentication Server using a key that enables the server to decrypt the ID Token. In this case, the "sub" (subject) of the signed ID Token MUST be sent as the "kid" (Key ID) of the JWE. Encrypting content to Self-Issued OPs is currently only supported when the OP's JWK key type is "RSA" and the encryption algorithm used is "RSA1_5". claims OPTIONAL. This parameter is used to request that specific Claims be returned. The value is a JSON object, as specified in Section 2.6. registration OPTIONAL. This parameter is used by the Client to provide information about itself to a Self-Issued OP that would normally be provided to an OP during Dynamic Client Registration, as specified in Section 7.2.1. request OPTIONAL. Request Object value, as specified in Section 2.9. The Request Object may be encrypted in a JWE by the Client. In this case, the "sub" (subject) of a previously issued ID Token for this Client MUST be sent as the "kid" (Key ID) of the JWE. Encrypting content to Self-Issued OPs is currently only supported when the OP's JWK key type is "RSA" and the encryption algorithm used is "RSA1_5". Other parameters MAY be sent. Note that all Claims are returned in the ID Token. The entire URL MUST NOT exceed 2048 bytes. Following is a non-normative example (with line wraps for display purposes only): HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: openid:// ?response_type=id_token &client_id=https%3A%2F%2Fclient.example.org%2Fcb &scope=openid%20profile &state=af0ifjsldkj &nonce=n-0S6_WzA2Mj registration=&%7B%22logo_uri%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2F client.example.org%2Flogo.png%22%7D Sakimura, et al. [Page 63] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 7.4. Self-Issued OpenID Provider Response The Self-Issued OpenID Provider response is the same as the normal implicit flow response with the following refinements. Since it is an implicit flow response, the response parameters will be returned in a fragment. 1. The "iss" (issuer) Claim Value is "https://self-issued.me". 2. A "sub_jwk" Claim is present, with its value being the public key value used to check the signature of the ID Token. 3. The "sub" (subject) Claim value is the base64url encoded SHA-256 hash of the concatenation of the bytes of the UTF-8 representations of the base64url encoded key values in the "sub_jwk" Claim. When the "kty" value is "RSA", the key values "n" and "e" are concatenated in that order. When the "kty" value is "EC", the key values "crv", "x", and "y" are concatenated in that order. 4. No Access Token is returned for accessing a UserInfo Endpoint, so all Claims returned must be in the ID Token. 7.5. Self-Issued ID Token Validation If any of the validation procedures defined in this specification fail, any operations requiring the information that failed to correctly validate MUST be aborted and the information that failed to validate MUST NOT be used. To validate the ID Token in the Authorization or Token Endpoint Response, the Client MUST do the following: 1. The Client MUST validate that the value of the "iss" (issuer) Claim is "https://self-isued.me". If "iss" contains a different value, the ID Token is not Self-Issued, and instead it MUST be validated according to Section 5.2. 2. The Client MUST validate that the "aud" (audience) Claim contains the value of the "redirect_uri" that the Client sent in the authentication request as an audience. 3. The Client MUST validate the signature of the ID Token according to JWS [JWS] using the algorithm specified in the "alg" parameter of the JWT header [JWT], using the key in the "sub_jwk" Claim; the key is a bare key in JWK format (not an X.509 certificate value). Sakimura, et al. [Page 64] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 4. The "alg" value SHOULD be the default of "RS256". It may also be "ES256". 5. The Client MUST validate that the "sub" (subject) Claim value is the base64url encoded SHA-256 hash of the concatenation of the bytes of the UTF-8 representations of the base64url encoded key values in the "sub_jwk" Claim. When the "kty" value is "RSA", the key values "n" and "e" are concatenated in that order. When the "kty" value is "EC", the key values "crv", "x", and "y" are concatenated in that order. 6. The current time MUST be less than the value of the "exp" Claim (possibly allowing for some small leeway to account for clock skew). 7. The "iat" Claim can be used to reject tokens that were issued too far away from the current time, limiting the amount of time that nonces must be stored to prevent attacks. The acceptable range is Client specific. 8. If a nonce value was sent in the Authorization Request, a "nonce" Claim MUST be present and its value of the checked to verify that it is the same value as the one that was sent in the Authorization Request. The Client SHOULD check the "nonce" value for replay attacks. The precise method for detecting replay attacks is Client specific. The following is a non-normative example of a base64url decoded Self- Issued ID Token (with line wraps for display purposes only): { "iss": "https://self-issued.me", "sub": "wBy8QvHbPzUnL0x63h13QqvUYcOur1X0cbQpPVRqX5k", "aud": "https://client.example.org/cb", "nonce": "n-0S6_WzA2Mj", "exp": 1311281970, "iat": 1311280970, "sub_jwk": { "kty":"RSA", "n": "0vx7agoebGcQSuuPiLJXZptN9nndrQmbXEps2aiAFbWhM78LhWx 4cbbfAAtVT86zwu1RK7aPFFxuhDR1L6tSoc_BJECPebWKRXjBZCiFV4n3oknjhMs tn64tZ_2W-5JsGY4Hc5n9yBXArwl93lqt7_RN5w6Cf0h4QyQ5v-65YGjQR0_FDW2 QvzqY368QQMicAtaSqzs8KJZgnYb9c7d0zgdAZHzu6qMQvRL5hajrn1n91CbOpbI SD08qNLyrdkt-bFTWhAI4vMQFh6WeZu0fM4lFd2NcRwr3XPksINHaQ-G_xBniIqb w0Ls1jF44-csFCur-kEgU8awapJzKnqDKgw", "e":"AQAB" } } Sakimura, et al. [Page 65] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 8. String Operations Processing some OpenID Connect messages requires comparing values in the messages to known values. For example, the Claim Names returned by the UserInfo Endpoint might be compared to specific Claim Names such as "sub". Comparing Unicode strings, however, has significant security implications. Therefore, comparisons between JSON strings and other Unicode strings MUST be performed as specified below: 1. Remove any JSON applied escaping to produce an array of Unicode code points. 2. Unicode Normalization [USA15] MUST NOT be applied at any point to either the JSON string or to the string it is to be compared against. 3. Comparisons between the two strings MUST be performed as a Unicode code point to code point equality comparison. In several places, this specification uses space delimited lists of strings. In all such cases, only the ASCII space character (0x20) MAY be used for this purpose. Sakimura, et al. [Page 66] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 9. Implementation Considerations This specification defines features used by both Relying Parties and OpenID Providers. Features that are mandatory to implement for Relying Parties are already described in the OpenID Connect Basic Client Profile 1.0 [OpenID.Basic] and OpenID Connect Implicit Client Profile 1.0 [OpenID.Implicit] specifications, and so are not discussed again here. It is expected that some OpenID Providers will require static, out- of-band configuration of RPs using them, whereas others will support dynamic usage by RPs without a pre-established relationship between them. For that reason, the mandatory-to-implement features for OPs are listed below in two groups: the first for all OPs and the second for "Dynamic" OpenID Providers. 9.1. Mandatory to Implement Features for All OpenID Providers All OpenID Providers MUST implement the following features defined in this specification. This list augments the set of features that are already listed elsewhere as being "REQUIRED" or are described with a "MUST", and so is not, by itself, a comprehensive set of implementation requirements for OPs. Signing ID Tokens with RSA SHA-256 OPs MUST support signing ID Tokens with the RSA SHA-256 algorithm (an "alg" value of "RS256"). UserInfo Endpoint All OPs that issue Access Tokens MUST support the UserInfo Endpoint, as defined in Section 2.3. (Self-Issued OPs do not issue Access Tokens.) Prompt Parameter OPs must support the "prompt" parameter, as defined in Section 2.1.1.1, including the specified user interface behaviors such as "none" and "login". Display Parameter OPs must support the "display" parameter, as defined in Section 2.1.1.1. (Note that the minimum level of support required for this parameter is simply to have its use not result in an error.) Preferred Locales OPs MUST support requests for preferred languages and scripts for the user interface and for Claims via the "ui_locales" and "claims_locales" request parameters, as defined in Section 2.1.1.1. (Note that the minimum level of support required for these parameters is simply to have their use not result in errors.) Sakimura, et al. [Page 67] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 Authentication Time OPs MUST support returning the time at which the user authenticated via the "auth_time" Claim, as defined in Section 2.1.2.1. Maximum Authentication Age OPs MUST support enforcing a maximum authentication age via the "max_age" parameter, as defined in Section 2.1.1.1. Authentication Context Class Reference OPs MUST support requests for specific Authentication Context Class Reference values via the "acr_values" parameter, as defined in Section 2.1.1.1. (Note that the minimum level of support required for this parameter is simply to have its use not result in an error.) 9.2. Mandatory to Implement Features for Dynamic OpenID Providers In addition to the features listed above, OpenID Providers supporting dynamic establishment of relationships with RPs that they do not have a pre-configured relationship with MUST also implement the following features defined in this and related specifications. Discovery These OPs MUST support Discovery, as defined in OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 [OpenID.Discovery]. Dynamic Registration These OPs MUST support Dynamic Client Registration, as defined in OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration 1.0 [OpenID.Registration]. Public Keys Published as Bare Keys These OPs MUST publish their public keys as bare keys, rather than in in X.509 format. Request URI These OPs MUST support requests made using a Request Object value that is retrieved from a Request URI that is provided with the "request_uri" parameter, as defined in Section 2.1.1.1. 9.3. Related Specifications This specification is an abstract specification. It needs to be bound to a protocol to be used in practice. One such example of protocol binding is: o OpenID Connect Standard 1.0 [OpenID.Standard] - Protocol binding for the full set of OpenID Connect messages These related OpenID Connect specifications MAY OPTIONALLY be used in combination with this specification to provide additional functionality: Sakimura, et al. [Page 68] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 o OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 [OpenID.Discovery] - Dynamic discovery for user and Authorization Server endpoints and information o OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration 1.0 [OpenID.Registration] - Dynamic registration of OpenID Connect Clients with OpenID Providers o OpenID Connect Basic Client Profile 1.0 [OpenID.Basic] - Protocol binding for a subset of the OpenID Connect Messages that is intended for use by basic Web-based Relying Parties using the OAuth "authorization_code" grant type. o OpenID Connect Implicit Client Profile 1.0 [OpenID.Implicit] - Protocol binding for a subset of the OpenID Connect Messages that is intended for use by basic Web-based Relying Parties using the OAuth implicit grant type. o OpenID Connect Session Management 1.0 [OpenID.Session] - Session management for OpenID Connect sessions Sakimura, et al. [Page 69] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 10. Security Considerations OAuth 2.0 Threat Model and Security Considerations [RFC6819] provides an extensive list of threats and controls that applies to this standard as well. ISO/IEC 29115 [ISO29115] also provides threats and controls that implementers should take into account. In addition, this standard provides additional control measures listed below. 10.1. Request Disclosure If appropriate measures are not taken, a request may be disclosed to an attacker, posing security and privacy threats. In addition to what is stated in Section 5.1.1 of [RFC6819], this standard provides a way to provide the confidentiality of the request end to end through the use of "request" or "request_uri" parameters, where the content of the "request" is an encrypted JWT with the appropriate key and cipher. This protects even against a compromised User-Agent in the case of indirect request. 10.2. Server Masquerading A malicious Server may masquerade as the legitimate server using various means. To detect such an attack, the Client needs to authenticate the server. In addition to what is stated in Section 5.1.2 of [RFC6819], this standard provides a way to authenticate the Server through either the use of Signed or Encrypted JWTs with an appropriate key and cipher. 10.3. Token Manufacture/Modification An Attacker may generate a bogus token or modify the token content (such as the authentication or attribute statements) of an existing parseable token, causing the RP to grant inappropriate access to the Client. For example, an Attacker may modify the parseable token to extend the validity period; a Client may modify the parseable token to have access to information that they should not be able to view. There are two ways to mitigate this attack: 1. The token can be digitally signed by the OP. The Relying Party SHOULD validate the digital signature to verify that it was issued by a legitimate OP. 2. The token can be sent over a protected channel such as TLS. See Section 10.15 for more information on using TLS. In this specification, the token is always sent over a TLS protected Sakimura, et al. [Page 70] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 channel. Note however, that this measure is only a defense against third party attackers and is not applicable to the case where the Client is the attacker. 10.4. Server Response Disclosure Server response may contain authentication and attribute statements that include sensitive Client information. Disclosure of the response contents can make the Client vulnerable to other types of attacks. The server response disclosure can be mitigated in the following two ways: 1. Using the "code" response type. The response is sent over a TLS protected channel, where the Client is authenticated by the "client_id" and "client_secret". 2. For other response types, the signed response can be encrypted with the Client's public key or a shared secret as an encrypted JWT with an appropriate key and cipher. 10.5. Server Response Repudiation A response may be repudiated by the server if the proper mechanisms are not in place. For example, if a Server does not digitally sign a response, the Server can claim that it was not generated through the services of the Server. To mitigate this threat, the response may be digitally signed by the Server using a key that supports non-repudiation. The Client SHOULD validate the digital signature to verify that it was issued by a legitimate Server and its integrity is intact. 10.6. Request Repudiation Since it is possible for a compromised or malicious Client to send a request to the wrong party, a Client that was authenticated using only a bearer token can repudiate any transaction. To mitigate this threat, the Server MAY require that the request be digitally signed by the Client using a key that supports non- repudiation. The Server SHOULD validate the digital signature to verify that it was issued by a legitimate Client and the integrity is intact. Sakimura, et al. [Page 71] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 10.7. Access Token Redirect An Attacker uses the Access Token generated for one resource to obtain access to a second resource. To mitigate this threat, the Access Token should be audience and scope restricted. One way of implementing it is to include the identifier of the resource for whom it was generated as audience. The resource verifies that incoming tokens include its identifier as the audience of the token. 10.8. Token Reuse An Attacker attempts to use a one-time use token such as an Authorization Code that has already been used once with the intended Resource. To mitigate this threat, the token SHOULD include a timestamp and a short validity lifetime. The Relying Party then checks the timestamp and lifetime values to ensure that the token is currently valid. Alternatively, the server may record the state of the use of the token and check the status for each request. 10.9. Eavesdropping or Leaking Authorization Codes (Secondary Authenticator Capture) In addition to the attack patterns described in Section 4.4.1.1 of [RFC6819], an Authorization Code can be captured in the User-Agent where the TLS session is terminated if the User-Agent is infected by malware. However, capturing it is not useful as long as the profile uses either Client authentication or an encrypted response. 10.10. Token Substitution A user may attempt to impersonate a more privileged user by subverting the communication channel between the Token Endpoint and Client, for example by reordering the messages, to convince the Token Endpoint that his or her authorization grant corresponds to the grant sent on behalf of the more privileged user. Responses to Token Requests are bound to the corresponding requests by message order in HTTP, as both token and requests are protected by TLS that can detect and disallow malicious reordering of packets. 10.11. Timing Attack A timing attack allows the attacker to obtain an unnecessary large amount of information through the elapsed time differences in the Sakimura, et al. [Page 72] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 code paths taken by successful and unsuccessful decryption operations or successful and unsuccessful signature validation of a message. It can be used to reduce the effective key length of the cipher used. Implementations should not terminate the validation process at the instant of the finding an error but should continue running until all the octets have been processed to avoid this attack. 10.12. Other Crypto Related Attacks There are various crypto related attacks possible depending on the method used for encryption and signature / integrity checking. Implementers should consult the Security Considerations for the JWT [JWT] specification and specifications that it references to avoid the vulnerabilities identified in these specifications. 10.13. Signing and Encryption Order Signatures over encrypted text are not considered valid in many jurisdictions. Therefore, for integrity and non-repudiation, this specification requires signing the plain text JSON Claims. 10.14. Issuer Identifier OpenID Connect supports multiple issuers per Host and Port combination. The issuer returned by discovery MUST exactly match the value of "iss" in the ID Token. OpenID Connect treats the path component of any URI as part of the user identifier. For instance, the subject "1234" with an issuer of "https://example.com" is not equivalent to the subject "1234" with an issuer of "https://example.com/sales". It is RECOMMENDED that only a single issuer per host be used. 10.15. TLS Requirements Implementations MUST support TLS. Which version(s) ought to be implemented will vary over time, and depend on the widespread deployment and known security vulnerabilities at the time of implementation. At the time of this writing, TLS version 1.2 [RFC5246] is the most recent version, but has very limited actual deployment, and might not be readily available in implementation toolkits. TLS version 1.0 [RFC2246] is the most widely deployed version, and will give the broadest interoperability. To protect against information disclosure and tampering, confidentiality protection MUST be applied using TLS with a Sakimura, et al. [Page 73] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 ciphersuite that provides confidentiality and integrity protection. Whenever TLS is used, a TLS server certificate check MUST be performed, per RFC 6125 [RFC6125]. 10.16. Lifetimes of Access Tokens and Refresh Tokens Access Token grants are not revocable by the Authorization Server. Access Token grant lifetimes SHOULD be kept to single use or very short lifetimes. If access to the UserInfo Endpoint or other protected resources is required, a Refresh Token should be used. The Client may then exchange the Refresh Token at the Token Endpoint for a fresh short- lived Access Token that can be used to access the resource. The Authorization Server SHOULD clearly identify long-term grants to the User during Authorization. The Authorization Server SHOULD provide a mechanism for the user to revoke Refresh Tokens granted to a Client. 10.17. Symmetric Key Entropy In Section 4.3 and Section 4.4, keys are derived from the "client_secret" value. Thus, when used with symmetric signing or encryption operations, "client_secret" values MUST contain sufficient entropy to generate cryptographically strong keys. Also, "client_secret" values MUST also contain at least the minimum of number of bytes required for MAC keys for the particular algorithm used. So for instance, for "HS256", the "client_secret" value MUST contain at least 8 bytes (and almost certainly SHOULD contain more, since "client_secret" values are likely to use a restricted alphabet. 10.18. Need for Signed Requests In some situations, Clients may need to use signed requests to ensure that the desired request parameters are delivered to the OP without having been tampered with. For instance, the "max_age" and "acr_values" provide more assurance about the nature of the authentication performed when delivered in signed requests. 10.19. Need for Encrypted Requests In some situations, knowing the contents of an OpenID Connect request may, in and of itself, reveal sensitive information about the End- User. For instance, knowing that the Client is requesting a particular Claim or that it is requesting that a particular authentication method be used may reveal sensitive information about Sakimura, et al. [Page 74] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 the End-User. OpenID Connect enables requests to be encrypted to the OpenID Provider to prevent such potentially sensitive information from being revealed. Sakimura, et al. [Page 75] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 11. Privacy Considerations The UserInfo Response typically contains Personally Identifiable Information (PII). As such, End-User consent for the release of the information for the specified purpose SHOULD be obtained at or prior to the authorization time in accordance with relevant regulations. The purpose of use is typically registered in association with the "redirect_uris". Only necessary UserInfo data should be stored at the Client and the Client SHOULD associate the received data with the purpose of use statement. The Resource Server SHOULD make the UserInfo access log available to the End-User so that the End-User can monitor who accessed his data. To protect the End-User from a possible correlation among Clients, the use of a Pairwise Pseudonymous Identifier (PPID) as the "sub" SHOULD be considered. Sakimura, et al.

Document History [[ To be removed from the final specification ]] -17 o Fixed #802 - Clarified recommendations and responsibilities for producing and consuming Claims with and without language tags. o Fixed #797 - Clarified the intended semantics of e-mail verification and that the precise verification rules are context- specific. o Fixed #806 - Added "phone_number_verified" Claim. o Fixed #800 - Specified that phone number extensions are to be represented using RFC 3966 extension syntax. o Fixed #795 - Specified that e-mail addresses must conform to the RFC 5322 addr-spec syntax. o Fixed #808 - Specified that phone numbers may be used as "login_hint" values. o Fixed #801 - Removed "schema" and "id" parameters to UserInfo Endpoint. Also fixed related issue #791 - Removed "invalid_schema" error. o Fixed #793, #796, and #799 - Allow name Claims to contain multiple space-separated names. o Fixed #794 - Required "picture" to refer to an image file that is a picture of the End-User. o Fixed #805 - Placed requirements on use of the "sub" Claim when Aggregated Claims and Distributed Claims are used, to prevent unintended correlations. o Fixed #811 - Specify that language tag components should be spelled using the character cases registered in the IANA Language Subtag Registry. o Fixed #812 - Clarified that language tag values used need not be unnecessarily specific. o Fixed #816 - Changed "must understand" language to "MUST be ignored if not understood". Sakimura, et al. [Page 91] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 o Added section on using Additional Claims. -16 o Fixed #709 - OpenID Request Object - "registration" in non-Self- Issued case. o Fixed #711 - Awkward phrase "The following Claims are REQUIRED and OPTIONAL". o Fixed #712 - "azp" definition clarification. o Fixed #713 - Explicitly require "sub" claim to be returned from UserInfo endpoint. o Fixed #715 - Delete "profile" from request object example. o Fixed #729 - ITU-T X.1254 | ISO/IEC 29115 now separate. o Fixed #722 - Text on "id_token_hint" needs to be clarified. o Fixed #718 - Text on re-encrypting should be clearer. o Fixed #738 - Behavior when "openid" scope is omitted. o Fixed #714 - Clarified text specifying response_type behaviors, including prohibiting the use of the "token" response_type, since it returns no ID Token. o Added statement "whenever TLS is used, a TLS server certificate check MUST be performed, per RFC 6125 [RFC6125]" to TLS Requirements section in Security Considerations. o State that when any validations fail, any operations requiring the information that failed to correctly validate MUST be aborted and the information that failed to validate MUST NOT be used. o Fixed #742 - Added new "ui_locales" parameter. o Fixed #743 - Promoted "preferred_locales" to being a top-level parameter. Also renamed it to "claims_locales" to disambiguate it from the new "ui_locales" parameter. o Fixed #744 - Promoted "max_age" to being a top-level parameter. o Fixed #748 - Promoted "claims" to being a top-level parameter separate from the OpenID Request Object. Sakimura, et al. [Page 92] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 o Fixed #765 - Created "acr_values" top-level request parameter and changed "default_acr" registration parameter to "default_acr_values". o Fixed #761 - client_secret as the HMAC key and #762 - client_secret to key. We now use the phrase "the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the "client_secret" value". Also added security considerations about symmetric key entropy. o Fixed #597 - Changed representation of omitted year in "birthdate" from "9999" to "0000". o Fixed #769 - Added Claim Type identifiers and definition. o Fixed #773 - Added "request_uris" registration parameter to pre- register "request_uri" values. Also clarified that the referenced resource contents may be cached. o Fixed #748 - Changed OpenID Request Object processing rules so that the Request Object parameters are combined with those passed as OAuth 2.0 parameters, with the Request Object parameters taking precedence. This enables fixed parameters to be passed in pre- signed, possibly pre-encrypted, and cached Request Objects, with parameters that will vary per request like "state" and "nonce" being passed as OAuth 2.0 parameters. This is particularly important now that "request_uri" values can be pre-registered. o Fixed #765 - Added Security Considerations about the need for signed and encrypted requests. o Fixed #763 - OPs MUST treat the inability to return an Essential requested "acr" Claim Value as a failed authentication attempt. o Fixed #739 - Added values for Self-Issued registration. o Fixed #779 - Parameters missing from IANA Considerations. o Fixed #760 - Added rationale for "request_uri" usage. o Fixed #782 - Changed uses of "_url" in identifiers to "_uri". o Fixed #703 - Added the PKIX JWK key type (and example) for X.509 certificates and consolidated the "x509_uri", "x509_encryption_uri", and "jwk_encryption_uri" parameters into a combined "jwk_uri" parameter. Also Fixed #704 - Provided suggested guidance about how to do key rotation of asymmetric keys for both signing and encryption using "jwk_uri". Sakimura, et al. [Page 93] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 o Made UserInfo Endpoint MTI to support for all OPs that issue Access Tokens. o Fixed #719 - Moved message definitions for Self-Issued OPs to the Messages spec. o Fixed #671 - Specified that an Access Token must be requested when Claims are requested from the UserInfo endpoint. o Fixed #717 - Parameters and values should be distinguished more clearly. o Fixed #786 - Changed the name of "jwk_uri" to "jwks_uri". o Clarified when the "http" scheme can and can not be used in "redirect_uri" values. o Fixed #748 - Defined MTI features for OPs. Also added "request_not_supported" error code. o Fixed #784 - Required publication of public keys as bare keys. o Fixed #785 - Enabled scope values to be used to request Claims when using the "response_type" value "id_token" (for which no Access Token is issued). o Fixed #787 - Don't prohibit returning an ID Token from the Token Endpoint when grant types other than "authorization_code" are used. o Fixed #710 - Gave an example of how requesting Claims with scope values is equivalent to requesting them with the "claims" request parameter. o Stated that the "azp" Claim is only needed when the party requesting the ID Token is different than the audience of the ID Token. o Fixed #788 - Renamed "OpenID Request Object" to "Request Object". o Use legal "acr" values in examples. o Fixed #789 - Added "amr" (authentication methods references) Claim. o Fixed #790 - Removed "MUST understand" text about request parameters, since OAuth requires that unrecognized parameters MUST be ignored. Sakimura, et al. [Page 94] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 o Added requirements for ID Tokens returned as a result of a token refresh request. -15 o Fixed #671 - Section 2.1.1 added test to require client to request an access token for the UserInfo Endpoint if requesting the default scopes. o Fixed #637 - Removed requirement for hash of at_token and code to be SHA2 in Section 2.1.2.1 and Section 5.2. o Fixes #620 - Update Section 2.1.2 and Section 2.2.3 to allow for other token types, but make bearer mandatory to support for clients. o Fixes #684 Removed error response in redirect to client if the redirect_uri is wrong to align with OAuth. o Fixed #695 - Contradictory OPTIONAL MUSTs in JWT Client Authentication. o Fixed #600 - Register Connect Claims in JWT Claims Registry. o Made the OpenID Foundation Artifact Binding Working Group the change controller for the values registered with IANA. o Moved OAuth error registrations from Standard to Messages since the errors are defined in Messages and not in Standard. o Use "OpenID Connect" as the "Related protocol extension" value in OAuth Extensions Error registry entries. o Fixed #657 - Section 2.1.1 Specify the sub is used as the kid if the request object or id_token_hint is encrypted. o Added Implementation Considerations section on Mandatory to Implement (MTI) features, per issue #604. o Specified that dynamic OPs must publish their public keys in X.509 format, per issue #633. o Fixed #648 - Specific response types now used in place of "implicit flow" and "code flow". The wording for at_hash and c_hash is now clearer. o Fixed #698 - Inconsistent use of articles. Sakimura, et al. [Page 95] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 o Fixed #699 - OpenID Provider (OP) definition repetitive. o Fixed #701 - Mention of SWD without a reference. o Fixed #700 - Incomplete specification names. o Fixed #702 - Make scopes a reference to the scopes section. o Fixed #702 - Consent is for claims - not scopes. o Fixed up Scopes section to make it clear that claims requested by the scopes are voluntary. o OAuth Threat Model is now RFC 6819. o Renamed the "user_jwk" Claim to "sub_jwk", paralleling the change from "user_id" to "sub". o Defined and registered the "sub_jwk" claim. -14 o Fixed #687 - Inconsistency between "user_id" and "prn" claims. The fix changed these names: user_id -> sub, user_id_types_supported -> subject_types_supported, user_id_type -> subject_type, and prn -> sub. o Fixed #689 - Track JWT change that allows JWTs to have multiple audiences. o Fixed #660 - Clarified that returning the "sub" value from the UserInfo endpoint is mandatory. o Fixed #636 - ID Token authorized party claim. o Fixed #539 - Add scope for offline access. o Fixed #690 - Inconsistent language in requirement of id_token response_type. o Clarified that "jwk_uri" and "jwk_encryption_uri" refer to documents containing JWK Sets - not single JWK keys. o Fixed #689 - Add caution about multiple audiences and azp. o Fixed #692 typos. -13 Sakimura, et al. [Page 96] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 o Fixed #588 - Messages: Token lifetime not privacy consideration o Fixed #597 - Messages: Changed claim name birthday to birthdate and made the format ISO 8601:2004 o Fixed #606 - Messages - 2.1.1.

This fix tracks the parameter changes made to the JWE spec in draft-ietf-jose-json-web-encryption-06. It deletes the parameters {userinfo,id_token}_encrypted_response_int. It replaces the parameters {userinfo,id_token,request_object,token_endpoint}_algs_supported with {userinfo,id_token,request_object,token_endpoint}_signing_alg Sakimura, et al. [Page 97] OpenID Connect Messages 1.0 March 2013 _values_supported and {userinfo,id_token,request_object,token_endp oint}_encryption_{alg,enc}_values_supported. o Fixed #673 - Registration 2.1: Rename require_signed_request_object to request_object_alg.
