Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 2 Expires September 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) March 13, 1998 1.1 Related Memos Implementers will need to be familiar with several other memos that, along with this memo, form a framework for Internet calendaring and scheduling standards. This document - specifies an Internet email binding for [ITIP]. [ICMS] - specifies a common terminology and abstract; [ICAL] - specifies a core specification of objects, data types, properties and property parameters; [ITIP] - specifies an interoperability protocol for scheduling between different implementations; [IRIP] - specifies an Internet real time protocol binding for [ITIP]. This memo does not attempt to repeat the specification of concepts or definitions from these other memos. Where possible, references are made to the memo that provides for the specification of these concepts or definitions. 1.2 Formatting Conventions The mechanisms defined in this memo are defined in prose. In order to refer to elements of the calendaring and scheduling model, core object or interoperability protocol defined in [ICMS], [ICAL] and [ITIP] some formatting conventions have been used. 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]. Calendaring and scheduling roles described by [ICMS] are referred to in quoted-strings of text with the first character of each word in upper case. For example, "Organizer" refers to a role of a "Calendar User" within the scheduling protocol defined by [ITIP]. Calendar components defined by [ICAL] are referred to with capitalized, quoted-strings of text. All calendar components start with the letter "V". For example, "VEVENT" refers to the event calendar component, "VTODO" refers to the to-do calendar component and "VJOURNAL" refers to the daily journal calendar component. Scheduling methods defined by [ITIP] are referred to with capitalized, quoted-strings of text. For example, "REQUEST" refers to the method for requesting a scheduling calendar component be created or modified, "REPLY" refers to the method a recipient of a request uses to update their status with the "Organizer" of the calendar component. Properties defined by [ICAL] are referred to with capitalized, quoted- strings of text, followed by the word "property". For example, Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 3 Expires September 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) March 13, 1998 "ATTENDEE" property refers to the iCalendar property used to convey the calendar address of a calendar user. Property parameters defined by [ICAL] are referred to with lower case, quoted-strings of text, followed by the word "parameter". For example, "value" parameter refers to the iCalendar property parameter used to override the default data type for a property value. 1.3 Terminology The email terms used in this memo are defined in [RFC-822] and [RFC- 2045]. The calendaring and scheduling terms used in this memo are defined in [ICMS], [ICAL] and [ITIP]. 2 MIME Message Format Binding This section defines the message binding to the MIME electronic mail transport. The sections below refer to the "originator" and the "respondent" of an iMIP message. Typically, the originator is the "Organizer" of an event. The respondent is an "Attendee" of the event. The Reply-To header typically contains the email address of the originator or respondent of an event. However, this cannot be guaranteed as Mail User Agents (MUA) are not required to enforce iMIP semantics. 2.1 MIME Media Type A MIME entity containing content information formatted according to this document will be referenced as a "text/calendar" content type. It is assumed that this content type will be transported through a MIME electronic mail transport. 2.2 Security This section addresses several aspects of security including Authentication, Authorization and Confidentiality. Authentication and confidentiality can be achieved using [RFC-1847] that specifies the Security Multiparts for MIME. This framework defines new content types and subtypes of multipart: signed and encrypted. Each contains two body parts: one for the protected data and another for the control information necessary to remove the protection. 2.2.1 Authorization In [ITIP] messages, only the "Organizer" is authorized to modify or cancel calendar entries they organize. That is, spoof@xyz.com is not allowed to modify or cancel a meeting that was organized by Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 4 Expires September 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) March 13, 1998 a@example.com. Furthermore, only the respondent has the authorization to indicate their status to the "Organizer". That is, the "Organizer" must ignore an [ITIP] message from spoof@xyz.com that declines a meeting invitation for b@example.com. IMIP implementations SHOULD verify the authenticity of the sender of an iCalendar object before taking any action. ITIP message flow supports someone working on behalf of a "Calendar User" through use of the "sent-by" parameter which is associated with the "ATTENDEE" and "ORGANIZER" properties. However, there is no mechanism to verify whether or not a "Calendar User" has authorized someone to work on their behalf. It is left to implementations to provide mechanisms for the "Calendar Users" to make that decision. 2.2.2 Authentication Authentication can be performed using an implementation of [RFC-1847] Multipart/signed that supports public/private key certificates. Authentication is possible only on messages that have been signed. Authenticating an unsigned message may not be reliable. 2.2.3 Confidentiality To ensure confidentiality using iMIP implementations should utilize [RFC-1847] compliant encryption. The protocol does not restrict a CUA from forwarding Requests or Responses to other users or agents. 2.3 RFC-822 Addresses The calendar address specified within the "ATTENDEE" property in an iCalendar object MUST be a fully qualified, RFC-822 address specification for the corresponding "Organizer" or "Attendee" of the "VEVENT" or "VTODO". Because [ITIP] does not preclude "Attendees" from forwarding "VEVENTS" or "VTODOS" to others, the [RFC-822] "Sender" value may not equal that of the "Organizer". Additionally, the "Organizer" or "Attendee" cannot be reliably inferred by the [RFC-822] "Sender" or "Reply-to" values of an IMIP message. The relevant address MUST be ascertained by opening the "text/calendar" MIME body part and examining the "ATTENDEE" and "ORGANIZER" properties. 2.4 Content Type A MIME body part containing content information that conforms to this document MUST have a Content-Type value of "text/calendar". The content type header field must also include the type parameter "method". The value MUST be the same as the value of the "METHOD" calendar property within the iCalendar object. This means that a MIME message containing Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 5 Expires September 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) March 13, 1998 multiple iCalendar objects with different method values must be further encapsulated with a "multipart/mixed" MIME entity. This will allow each of the iCalendar objects to be encapsulated within their own "text/calendar" MIME entity. A CHARSET parameter MUST be present when the "text/calendar" is used. [RFC-2046] discusses the selection of an appropriate CHARSET value. The optional Content-Type COMPONENT parameter defines the iCalendar component type contained within the iCalendar object. The following is an example of this header field with a value that indicates an event message. Content-Type:text/calendar; method=request; charset=UTF-8; component=vevent The "text/calendar" content type allows for the scheduling message type to be included in a MIME message with other content information (i.e., multipart/mixed) or included in a MIME message with a clear-text, human- readable form of the scheduling message (i.e., multipart/alternative). In order to permit the information in the scheduling message to be understood by MIME user agents (UA) that do not support the text/calendar content type, scheduling messages SHOULD be sent with an alternative, human-readable form of the information. 2.5 Content-Transfer-Encoding Note that the default character set for iCalendar objects is UTF-8. A transfer encoding SHOULD be used for iCalendar objects containing any characters that are not part of the US-ASCII character set. 2.6 Content-Disposition The handling of a MIME part should be based on its "Content-Type". However, this is not guaranteed to work in all environments. Some environments handle MIME attachments based on their file type or extension. To operate correctly in these environments, implementations may wish to include a "Content-Disposition" property to define a file name. 3 Security Considerations [ITIP] details the security threats that applications must address when implementing ITIP. Two spoofing threats are identified: Spoofing the "Organizer", and Spoofing an "Attendee". To address these threats, the originator of an iCalendar object must be authenticated by a recipient. Once authenticated, a determination can be made as to whether or not the Dawson/Mansour/Silverberg 6 Expires September 1998 Internet DraftiCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) March 13, 1998 originator is authorized to perform the requested operation. Compliant applications MUST support signing and encrypting text/calendar attachments using a mechanism based on Security Multiparts for MIME [RFC1847] to facilitate the authentication the originator of the iCalendar object. Implementations MAY provide a means for users to disable signing and encrypting. The steps are described below: 1. The iCalendar object must be signed by the "Organizer" sending an update or the "Attendee" sending a reply. 2. Using the RFC1847-compliant security mechanism, determine who signed the iCalendar object. This is the "signer". Note that the signer is not necessarily the person sending an e-mail message. An e-mail message can be forwarded. 3. Correlate the "signer" to an "ATTENDEE" property in the iCalendar object. If the signer cannot be correlated to an "ATTENDEE" property, ignore the message. 4. Determine whether or not the "ATTENDEE" is authorized to perform the operation as defined by [ITIP]. If the conditions are not met, ignore the message. 5. If all the above conditions are met, the message can be processed. To address the confidentiality security threats, signed IMIP messages SHOULD be encrypted by a mechanism based on Security Multiparts for MIME [RFC1847]. It is possible to receive IMIP messages sent by someone working on behalf of another "Calendar User". This is determined by examining the "sent-by" parameter in the relevant "ORGANIZER" or "ATTENDEE" property. [ICAL] and [ITIP] provide no mechanism to verify that a "Calendar User" has authorized someone else to work on their behalf. To address this security issue, implementations MUST provide mechanisms for the "Calendar Users" to make that decision before applying changes from someone working on behalf of a "Calendar User". 4 Examples 4.1 Single Component With An ATTACH Property This minimal message shows how an iCalendar object references an attachment.
