Abstract
This specification defines the Target-Dialog header field for the
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and the corresponding option tag,
tdialog. This header field is used in requests that create SIP
dialogs. It indicates to the recipient that the sender is aware of
an existing dialog with the recipient, either because the sender is
on the other side of that dialog, or because it has access to the
dialog identifiers. The recipient can then authorize the request
based on this awareness.

RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
1. Introduction
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [2] defines the concept of a
dialog as a persistent relationship between a pair of user agents.
Dialogs provide context, including sequence numbers, proxy routes,
and dialog identifiers. Dialogs are established through the
transmission of SIP requests with particular methods. Specifically,
the INVITE, REFER [8], and SUBSCRIBE [3] requests all create dialogs.
When a user agent receives a request that creates a dialog, it needs
to decide whether to authorize that request. For some requests,
authorization is a function of the identity of the sender, the
request method, and so on. However, many situations have been
identified in which a user agent's authorization decision depends on
whether the sender of the request is currently in a dialog with that
user agent, or whether the sender of the request is aware of a dialog
the user agent has with another entity.
One such example is call transfer, accomplished through REFER. If
user agents A and B are in an INVITE dialog, and user agent A wishes
to transfer user agent B to user agent C, user agent A needs to send
a REFER request to user agent B, asking user agent B to send an
INVITE request to user agent C. User agent B needs to authorize this
REFER. The proper authorization decision is that user agent B should
accept the request if it came from a user with whom B currently has
an INVITE dialog relationship. Current implementations deal with
this by sending the REFER on the same dialog as the one in place
between user agents A and B. However, this approach has numerous
problems [12]. These problems include difficulties in determining
the lifecycle of the dialog and its usages and in determining which
messages are associated with each application usage. Instead, a
better approach is for user agent A to send the REFER request to user
agent B outside of the dialog. In that case, a means is needed for
user agent B to authorize the REFER.
Another example is the application interaction framework [14]. In
that framework, proxy servers on the path of a SIP INVITE request can
place user interface components on the user agent that generated or
received the request. To do this, the proxy server needs to send a
REFER request to the user agent, targeted to its Globally Routable
User Agent URI (GRUU) [13], asking the user agent to fetch an HTTP
resource containing the user interface component. In such a case, a
means is needed for the user agent to authorize the REFER. The
application interaction framework recommends that the request be
authorized if it was sent from an entity on the path of the original
dialog. This can be done by including the dialog identifiers in the
Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 3
RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
REFER, which prove that the user agent that sent the REFER is aware
of those dialog identifiers (this needs to be secured against
eavesdroppers through the sips mechanism, of course).
Another example is if two user agents share an INVITE dialog, and an
element on the path of the INVITE request wishes to track the state
of the INVITE. In such a case, it sends a SUBSCRIBE request to the
GRUU of the user agent, asking for a subscription to the dialog event
package. If the SUBSCRIBE request came from an element on the INVITE
request path, it should be authorized.
1.1. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1].

Figure 1
Figure 1 shows the basic model of operation. User agent A sends an
INVITE to user agent B, traversing two servers, server A and server
B. Both servers act as proxies for this transaction. User B sends a
200 OK response to the INVITE. This 200 OK includes a Supported
header field indicating support for this specification (through the
presence of the tdialog option tag). The 200 OK response establishes
a dialog between the two user agents.
Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 4
RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
Next, an entity that was present along the request path (server A,
for example) wishes to send a dialog-forming request (such as REFER)
to user agent A or B (user B for example). So, the entity acts as a
user agent and sends the request to user agent B. This request is
addressed to the URI of user agent B, which server A learned from
inspecting the Contact header field in the 200 OK of the INVITE
request. If this URI has the GRUU [11] property (it can be used by
any element on the Internet, such as server A, to reach the specific
user agent instance that generated that 200 OK to the INVITE), then
the mechanism will work across NAT boundaries.
The request generated by server A will contain a Target-Dialog header
field. This header field contains the dialog identifiers for the
INVITE dialog between user agents A and B, composed of the Call-ID,
local tag, and remote tag. Server A knew to include the Target-
Dialog header field in the REFER request because it knows that user
agent B supports it.
When the request arrives at user agent B, it needs to make an
authorization decision. Because the INVITE dialog was established
using a sips URI, and because the dialog identifiers are
cryptographically random [2], no entity except for user agent A or
the proxies on the path of the initial INVITE request can know the
dialog identifiers. Thus, because the request contains those dialog
identifiers, user agent B can be certain that the request came from
user agent A, the two proxies, or an entity to whom the user agent or
proxies gave the dialog identifiers. As such, it authorizes the
request and performs the requested actions.
3. User Agent Client (UAC) Behavior
A UAC SHOULD include a Target-Dialog header field in a request if the
following conditions are all true:
1. The request is to be sent outside of any existing dialog.
2. The user agent client believes that the request may not be
authorized by the user agent server unless the user agent client
can prove that it is aware of the dialog identifiers for some
other dialog. Call this dialog the target dialog.
3. The request does not otherwise contain information that indicates
that the UAC is aware of those dialog identifiers.
Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 5
RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
4. The user agent client knows that the user agent server supports
the Target-Dialog header field. It can know this if it has seen
a request or response from the user agent server within the
target dialog that contained a Supported header field that
included the tdialog option tag.
If the fourth condition is not met, the UAC SHOULD NOT use this
specification. Instead, if it is currently within a dialog with the
User Agent Server (UAS), it SHOULD attempt to send the request within
the existing target dialog.
The following are examples of use cases in which these conditions are
met:
o A REFER request is sent according to the principles of [14].
These REFER are sent outside of a dialog and do not contain any
other information that indicates awareness of the target dialog.
[14] also mandates that the REFER be sent only if the UA indicates
support for the target dialog specification.
o User A is in separate calls with users B and C. User A decides to
start a three way call, and so morphs into a focus [17]. User B
would like to learn the other participants in the conference. So,
it sends a SUBSCRIBE request to user A (who is now acting as the
focus) for the conference event package [16]. It is sent outside
of the existing dialog between user B and the focus, and it would
be authorized by A if user B could prove that it knows the dialog
identifiers for its existing dialog with the focus. Thus, the
Target-Dialog header field would be included in the SUBSCRIBE.
The following are examples of use cases in which these conditions are
not met:
o A server acting as a proxy is a participant in an INVITE dialog
that establishes a session. The server would like to use the
Keypad Markup Language (KPML) event package [18] to find out about
keypresses from the originating user agent. To do this, it sends
a SUBSCRIBE request. However, the Event header field of this
SUBSCRIBE contains event parameters that indicate the target
dialog of the subscription. As such, the request can be
authorized without additional information.
o A server acting as a proxy is a participant in an INVITE dialog
that establishes a session. The server would like to use the
dialog event package [15] to find out about dialogs at the
originating user agent. To do this, it sends a SUBSCRIBE request.
However, the Event header field of this SUBSCRIBE contains event
parameters that indicate the target dialog of the subscription.
Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 6
RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
As such, the request can be authorized without additional
information.
Specifications that intend to make use of the Target-Dialog header
field SHOULD discuss specific conditions in which it is to be
included.
Assuming it is to be included, the value of the callid production in
the Target-Dialog header field MUST be equal to the Call-ID of the
target dialog. The "remote-tag" header field parameter MUST be
present and MUST contain the tag that would be viewed as the remote
tag from the perspective of the recipient of the new request. The
"local-tag" header field parameter MUST be present and MUST contain
the tag that would be viewed as the local tag from the perspective of
the recipient of the new request.
The request sent by the UAC SHOULD include a Require header field
that includes the tdialog option tag. This request should, in
principle, never fail with a 420 (Bad Extension) response, because
the UAC would not have sent the request unless it believed the UAS
supported the extension. If a Require header field was not included,
and the UAS didn't support the extension, it would normally reject
the request because it was unauthorized, probably with a 403.
However, without the Require header field, the UAC would not be able
to differentiate between the following:
o a 403 that arrived because the UAS didn't actually understand the
Target-Dialog header field (in which case the client should send
the request within the target dialog if it can)
o a 403 that arrived because the UAS understood the Target-Dialog
header field, but elected not to authorize the request despite the
fact that the UAC proved its awareness of the target dialog (in
which case the client should not resend the request within the
target dialog, even if it could).
4. User Agent Server Behavior
If a user agent server receives a dialog-creating request and wishes
to authorize the request, and if that authorization depends on
whether or not the sender has knowledge of an existing dialog with
the UAS, and information outside of the Target-Dialog header field
does not provide proof of this knowledge, the UAS SHOULD check the
request for the existence of the Target-Dialog header field. If this
header field is not present, the UAS MAY still authorize the request
by other means.
Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 7
RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
If the header field is present, and the value of the callid
production, the "remote-tag", and "local-tag" values match the
Call-ID, remote tag, and local tag of an existing dialog, and the
dialog that they match was established using a sips URI, the UAS
SHOULD authorize the request if it would authorize any entity on the
path of the request that created that dialog, or any entity trusted
by an entity on the path of the request that created that dialog.
If the dialog identifiers match, but they match a dialog not created
with a sips URI, the UAS MAY authorize the request if it would
authorize any entity on the path of the request that created that
dialog, or any entity trusted by an entity on the path of the request
that created that dialog. However, in this case, any eavesdropper on
the original dialog path would have access to the dialog identifiers,
and thus the authorization is optional.
If the dialog identifiers don't match, or if they don't contain both
a "remote-tag" and "local-tag" parameter, the header field MUST be
ignored, and authorization MAY be determined by other means.
5. Proxy Behavior
Proxy behavior is unaffected by this specification.
6. Extensibility Considerations
This specification depends on a user agent client knowing, ahead of
sending a request to a user agent server, whether or not that user
agent server supports the Target-Dialog header field. As discussed
in Section 3, the UAC can know this because it saw a request or
response sent by that UAS within the target dialog that contained the
Supported header field whose value included the tdialog option tag.
Because of this requirement, it is especially important that user
agents compliant to this specification include a Supported header
field in all dialog forming requests and responses. Inclusion of the
Supported header fields in requests is at SHOULD strength per RFC
3261. This specification does not alter that requirement. However,
implementers should realize that, unless the tdialog option tag is
placed in the Supported header field of requests and responses, this
extension is not likely to be used, and instead, the request is
likely to be re-sent within the existing target dialog (assuming the
sender is the UA on the other side of the target dialog). As such,
the conditions in which the SHOULD would not be followed would be
those rare cases in which the UA does not want to enable usage of
this extension.
Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 8
RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
7. Header Field Definition
The grammar for the Target-Dialog header field is defined as follows:
Target-Dialog = "Target-Dialog" HCOLON callid *(SEMI
td-param) ;callid from RFC 3261
td-param = remote-param / local-param /
generic-param
remote-param = "remote-tag" EQUAL token
local-param = "local-tag" EQUAL token
;token and generic-param from RFC 3261
Figures 3 and 4 are an extension of Tables 2 and 3 in RFC 3261 [2]
for the Target-Dialog header field. The column "INF" is for the INFO
method [4], "PRA" is for the PRACK method [5], "UPD" is for the
UPDATE method [6], "SUB" is for the SUBSCRIBE method [3], "NOT" is
for the NOTIFY method [3], "MSG" is for the MESSAGE method [7], "REF"
is for the REFER method [8], and "PUB" is for the PUBLISH method [9].

Figure 4: Allowed Methods for Target-Dialog
8. Security Considerations
The Target-Dialog header field is used to authorize requests based on
the fact that the sender of the request has access to information
that only certain entities have access to. In order for such an
authorization decision to be secure, two conditions have to be met.
Firstly, no eavesdroppers can have access to this information. That
requires the original SIP dialog to be established using a sips URI,
which provides TLS on each hop. With a sips URI, only the user
agents and proxies on the request path will be able to know the
dialog identifiers. The second condition is that the dialog
identifiers be sufficiently cryptographically random that they cannot
be guessed. RFC 3261 requires global uniqueness for the Call-ID and
32 bits of cryptographic randomness for each tag (there are two tags
for a dialog). Given the short duration of a typical dialog (perhaps
as long as a day), this amount of randomness appears adequate for
Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 9
RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
preventing guessing attacks. However, it's important to note that
this specification requires true cryptographic randomness as set
forth in RFC 4086 [11]. Weaker pseudorandom identifiers reduce the
probability of collision, but because they are guessable, they are
not sufficient to prevent an attacker from observing a sequence of
identifiers, guessing the next one, and then using this specification
to launch an attack.
9. Relationship with In-Reply-To
RFC 3261 defines the In-Reply-To header field. It provides a list of
Call-IDs for calls that the current request references or returns.
It was meant to serve a similar purpose as the Reply-To in email: to
facilitate the construction of "threads" of conversations in a user
interface. Target-Dialog is similar, in that it also references a
previous session. Due to their similarities, it is important to
understand the differences, as these two header fields are not
substitutes for each other.
Firstly, In-Reply-To is meant for consumption by a human or a user
interface widget, for providing the user with a context that allows
them to decide what a call is about and whether they should take it.
Target-Dialog, on the other hand, is meant for consumption by the
user agent itself, to facilitate authorization of session requests in
specific cases where authorization is not a function of the user, but
rather the underlying protocols. A UA will authorize a call
containing Target-Dialog based on a correct value of the Target-
Dialog header field.
Secondly, Target-Dialog references a specific dialog that must be
currently in progress. In-Reply-To references a previous call
attempt, most likely one that did not result in a dialog. This is
why In-Reply-To uses a Call-ID, and Target-Dialog uses a set of
dialog identifiers.
Finally, In-Reply-To implies cause and effect. When In-Reply-To is
present, it means that the request is being sent because of the
previous request that was delivered. Target-Dialog does not imply
cause and effect, merely awareness for the purposes of authorization.
10. Example Call Flow
In this example, user agent A and user agent B establish an INVITE-
initiated dialog through Server-A and Server-B, each of which acts as
a proxy for the INVITE. Server B would then like to use the
application interaction framework [14] to request that user agent A
fetch an HTML user interface component. To do that, it sends a REFER
request to A's URI. The flow for this is shown in Figure 5. The
Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 10

conventions of [19] are used to describe representation of long
message lines.

First, the caller sends an INVITE, as shown in message 1.

The INVITE indicates that the caller supports GRUU (note its presence
in the Contact header field of the INVITE) and the Target-Dialog
header field. This INVITE is forwarded to the callee (messages 2-3),
which generates a 200 OK response that is forwarded back to the
caller (message 4-5). Message 5 might look like:
SIP/2.0 200 OK
Via: SIP/2.0/TLS host.example.com;branch=z9hG4bK9zz8
From: Caller <sip:A@example.com>;tag=kkaz-
To: Callee <sip:B@example.org>;tag=6544

--SDP not shown--
In this case, the called party does not support GRUU or the Target-
Dialog header field. The caller generates an ACK (message 7).
Server B then decides to send a REFER to user A:
<allOneLine>

Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 12
RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
This REFER will be delivered to server A because it was sent to the
GRUU. From there, it is forwarded to user agent A (message 9) and
authorized because of the presence of the Target-Dialog header field.
11. IANA Considerations
This specification registers a new SIP header field, a new option tag
according to the processes of RFC 3261 [2], and two new header field
parameters according to the processes of RFC 3968 [10].
11.1. Header Field
RFC Number: RFC 4538
Header Field Name: Target-Dialog
Compact Form: none
11.2. Header Field Parameters
This section registers two header field parameters according to the
processes of RFC 3968 [10].
11.2.1. local-tag
Header Field: Target-Dialog
Header Field Parameter: local-tag
Predefined Values: None
RFC: RFC 4538
11.2.2. remote-tag
Header Field: Target-Dialog
Header Field Parameter: remote-tag
Predefined Values: None
RFC: RFC 4538
Rosenberg Standards Track PAGE 13
RFC 4538 Target Dialog June 2006
11.3. SIP Option Tag
This specification registers a new SIP option tag per the guidelines
in Section 27.1 of RFC 3261.
Name: tdialog
Description: This option tag is used to identify the target dialog
header field extension. When used in a Require header field, it
implies that the recipient needs to support the Target-Dialog
header field. When used in a Supported header field, it implies
that the sender of the message supports it.
12. Acknowledgements
This specification is based on a header field first proposed by
Robert Sparks in the dialog usage draft [12]. John Elwell provided
helpful comments.
