RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
1. Introduction
While it is possible to transmit highly sensitive documents using
traditional telephony encryption devices, secure fax on the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) was never widely considered or
prioritized. This was mainly because of the challenges involved with
malevolent physical access to telephony equipment. As real-time
communications transition to IP networks, where information might
potentially be intercepted or spoofed, an appropriate level of
security for fax that offers integrity and confidentiality protection
is vital.
The overwhelmingly predominant fax transport protocol is UDPTL-based,
as described in Section 9.1 of [ITU.T38.2010]. The protocol stack
for fax transport using UDPTL is shown in Figure 1.
+-----------------------------+
| Internet facsimile protocol |
+-----------------------------+
| UDPTL |
+-----------------------------+
| UDP |
+-----------------------------+
| IP |
+-----------------------------+
Figure 1: Protocol Stack for UDPTL over UDP
The following mechanisms are available for securing fax:
o Annex H of [ITU.T30.2005] specifies an application-layer integrity
and confidentiality protection of fax that is independent of the
transport protocol and is based on the RSA algorithm for use with
the T.30 telephony protocol by Group 3 facsimile equipment (G3FE).
o [ITU.T38.2010] specifies fax transport over RTP/SAVP, which
enables integrity and confidentiality protection of fax in IP
networks.
Both of these mechanisms have been available for many years and never
gained any significant adoption in the market. This has prompted an
effort to develop an approach, based on open standards, for securing
fax communications over an IP-based transport.
Telephony-based protocols like T.30 offer application-level security
options like the RSA-based approach detailed in Annex H of the T.30
specification [ITU.T30.2005]. The problem is that it is very
sparingly implemented and not enforced at the transport level.
Holmberg, et al. Standards Track PAGE 3
RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
It is worth noting that while T.38 over RTP offers a very viable
option for such standards-based IP security solution using Secure
Realtime Transport Protocol (SRTP), this fax-over-IP transport never
gained any traction in the marketplace and accounts for a negligible
percentage of fax-over-IP implementations.
Thus, security mechanisms offering integrity and confidentiality
protection should be limited to UDPTL-based fax transport, which is
the only broad-based fax-over-IP solution. The 3rd Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) launched a study on how best to provide
secure fax in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) for UDPTL. Results
of the study confirmed that this security was best achieved by using
UDPTL over DTLS.
This document specifies fax transport using UDPTL over DTLS
[RFC 6347], which enables integrity and confidentiality protection of
fax in IP networks. The protocol stack that enhances fax transport
to offer integrity and confidentiality using UDPTL over DTLS is shown
in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Protocol Stack for UDPTL over DTLS over UDP
The primary motivations for the mechanism in this document are:
o The design of DTLS [RFC 6347] is clearly defined and well
understood, and implementations are widely available.
o No DTLS extensions are required in order to enable UDPTL transport
over DTLS.
o Fax transport using UDPTL over DTLS only requires insertion of the
DTLS layer between the UDPTL layer and the UDP layer, as shown in
Figure 2. The UDPTL layer and the layers above the UDPTL layer
require no modifications.
Holmberg, et al. Standards Track PAGE 4
RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
o UDPTL [ITU.T38.2010] is by far the most widely deployed fax
transport protocol in IP networks.
o 3GPP and the IP fax community need a mechanism to transport UDPTL
over DTLS in order to provide secure fax in SIP-based networks
(including IMS).
This document specifies the transport of UDPTL over DTLS using the
DTLS record layer "application_data" packets [RFC 5246] [RFC 6347].
Since the DTLS record layer "application_data" packet does not
indicate whether it carries UDPTL or some other protocol, the usage
of a dedicated DTLS association for transport of UDPTL needs to be
negotiated, e.g., using the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
[RFC 4566] and the SDP offer/answer mechanism [RFC 3264].
Therefore, this document specifies a new <proto> value [RFC 4566] for
the SDP media description ("m=" line) [RFC 3264], in order to indicate
UDPTL over DTLS in SDP messages [RFC 4566].
2. 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 BCP 14, RFC 2119
[RFC 2119].
DTLS uses the term "session" to refer to a long-lived set of keying
material that spans DTLS associations. In this document, in order to
be consistent with SIP/SDP usage of "session" terminology, we use
"session" to refer to a multimedia session and use the term "DTLS
session" to refer to the DTLS construct. We use the term "DTLS
association" to refer to a particular DTLS cipher suite and keying
material set that is associated with a single host/port quartet. The
same DTLS session can be used to establish the keying material for
multiple DTLS associations. For consistency with other SIP/SDP
usage, we use the term "connection" when what's being referred to is
a multimedia stream that is not specifically DTLS.
3. Secure Channel
The UDPTL-over-DTLS media stream is negotiated using the SDP offer/
answer mechanism [RFC 3264]. See Section 4 for more details.
DTLS is used as specified in [RFC 6347]. Once the DTLS handshake is
successfully completed (in order to prevent facsimile data from being
transmitted insecurely), the UDPTL packets MUST be transported in
DTLS record layer "application_data" packets.
Holmberg, et al. Standards Track PAGE 5
RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
4. SDP Offerer/Answerer Procedures
4.1. General
An endpoint (i.e., both the offerer and the answerer) MUST create an
SDP media description ("m=" line) for each UDPTL-over-DTLS media
stream and MUST assign a UDP/TLS/UDPTL value (see Table 1) to the
"proto" field of the "m=" line.
The procedures in this section apply to an "m=" line associated with
a UDPTL-over-DTLS media stream.
In order to negotiate a UDPTL-over-DTLS media stream, the following
SDP attributes are used:
o The SDP attributes defined for UDPTL over UDP, as described in
[ITU.T38.2010]; and
o The SDP attributes, defined in [RFC 4145] and [RFC 4572], as
described in this section.
The endpoint MUST NOT use the SDP "connection" attribute [RFC 4145].
In order to negotiate the TLS roles for the UDPTL-over-DTLS transport
connection, the endpoint MUST use the SDP "setup" attribute
[RFC 4145].
If the endpoint supports, and is willing to use, a cipher suite with
an associated certificate, the endpoint MUST include an SDP
"fingerprint" attribute [RFC 4572]. The endpoint MUST support SHA-256
for generating and verifying the SDP "fingerprint" attribute value.
The use of SHA-256 is preferred. UDPTL over DTLS, at a minimum, MUST
support TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and MUST support
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256. UDPTL over DTLS MUST prefer
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 and any other Perfect Forward
Secrecy (PFS) cipher suites over non-PFS cipher suites.
Implementations SHOULD disable TLS-level compression.
If a cipher suite with an associated certificate is selected during
the DTLS handshake, the certificate received during the DTLS
handshake MUST match the fingerprint received in the SDP
"fingerprint" attribute. If the fingerprint does not match the
hashed certificate, then the endpoint MUST tear down the media
session immediately. Note that it is permissible to wait until the
other side's fingerprint has been received before establishing the
connection; however, this may have undesirable latency effects.
Holmberg, et al. Standards Track PAGE 6
RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
4.2. Generating the Initial Offer
The offerer SHOULD assign the SDP "setup" attribute with a value of
"actpass", unless the offerer insists on being either the sender or
receiver of the DTLS ClientHello message, in which case the offerer
can use either a value of "active" (the offerer will be the sender of
ClientHello) or "passive" (the offerer will be the receiver of
ClientHello). The offerer MUST NOT assign an SDP "setup" attribute
with a "holdconn" value.
If the offerer assigns the SDP "setup" attribute with a value of
"actpass" or "passive", the offerer MUST be prepared to receive a
DTLS ClientHello message before it receives the SDP answer.
4.3. Generating the Answer
If the answerer accepts the offered UDPTL-over-DTLS transport
connection, in the associated SDP answer, the answerer MUST assign an
SDP "setup" attribute with a value of either "active" or "passive",
according to the procedures in [RFC 4145]. The answerer MUST NOT
assign an SDP "setup" attribute with a value of "holdconn".
If the answerer assigns an SDP "setup" attribute with a value of
"active" value, the answerer MUST initiate a DTLS handshake by
sending a DTLS ClientHello message on the negotiated media stream,
towards the IP address and port of the offerer.
4.4. Offerer Processing of the Answer
When the offerer receives an SDP answer, if the offerer ends up being
active it MUST initiate a DTLS handshake by sending a DTLS
ClientHello message on the negotiated media stream, towards the IP
address and port of the answerer.
4.5. Modifying the Session
Once an offer/answer exchange has been completed, either endpoint MAY
send a new offer in order to modify the session. The endpoints can
reuse the existing DTLS association if the key fingerprint values and
transport parameters indicated by each endpoint are unchanged.
Otherwise, following the rules for the initial offer/answer exchange,
the endpoints can negotiate and create a new DTLS association and,
once created, delete the previous DTLS association, following the
same rules for the initial offer/answer exchange. Each endpoint
needs to be prepared to receive data on both the new and old DTLS
associations as long as both are alive.
Holmberg, et al. Standards Track PAGE 7
RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
5. Miscellaneous Considerations
5.1. Anonymous Calls
When making anonymous calls, a new self-signed certificate SHOULD be
used for each call, and attributes inside the certificate MUST NOT
contain information that allows either correlation or identification
of the user making anonymous calls. This is particularly important
for the "subjectAltName" and "commonName" attributes.
5.2. NAT Traversal
5.2.1. ICE Usage
When Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) [RFC 5245] is being
used, the ICE connectivity checks are performed before the DTLS
handshake begins. Note that if aggressive nomination mode is used,
multiple candidate pairs may be marked valid before ICE finally
converges on a single candidate pair. User Agents (UAs) MUST treat
all ICE candidate pairs associated with a single component as part of
the same DTLS association. Thus, there will be only one DTLS
handshake even if there are multiple valid candidate pairs. Note
that this may mean adjusting the endpoint IP addresses if the
selected candidate pair shifts, just as if the DTLS packets were an
ordinary media stream. In the case of an ICE restart, the DTLS
handshake procedure is repeated, and a new DTLS association is
created. Once the DTLS handshake is completed and the new DTLS
association has been created, the previous DTLS association is
deleted.
5.2.2. STUN Interaction
The UA MUST send the Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN)
packets [RFC 5389] directly over UDP, not over DTLS.
The UA MUST support the following mechanism for demultiplexing
packets arriving on the IP address and port associated with the DTLS
association:
o If the value of the first byte of the packet is 0 or 1, then the
packet is STUN.
o If the value of the first byte of the packet is between 20 and 63
(inclusive), the packet is DTLS.
Holmberg, et al. Standards Track PAGE 8
RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
5.3. Rekeying
During rekeying, packets protected by the previous set of keys can
arrive after the DTLS handshake caused by rekeying has completed,
because packets can be reordered on the wire. To compensate for this
fact, receivers MUST maintain both sets of keys for some time in
order to be able to decrypt and verify older packets. The duration
of maintaining the previous set of keys after the finish of the DTLS
handshake is out of the scope of this document.
5.4. Compatibility with UDPTL over UDP
If a user requires fax to be transported securely using UDPTL over
DTLS, and if the remote user does not support UDPTL over DTLS, then a
fax media stream cannot be established.
If a user prefers fax to be transported securely using UDPTL over
DTLS but is willing to transport the fax insecurely in case the
remote user does not support UDPTL over DTLS, then the SDP Capability
Negotiation mechanism [RFC 5939] can be used to offer both UDPTL over
DTLS and UDPTL over UDP. Alternatively, if the remote user rejects
an SDP offer for UDPTL over DTLS, a new SDP offer for a UDPTL-over-
UDP media stream can be sent.
6. Security Considerations
Fax may be used to transmit a wide range of sensitive data, including
personal, corporate, and governmental information. It is therefore
critical to be able to protect against threats to the confidentiality
and integrity of the transmitted data.
The mechanism in this document provides integrity and confidentiality
protection for fax by specifying fax transport using UDPTL over DTLS
[RFC 6347].
DTLS media stream negotiated using SIP/SDP requires a mechanism to
ensure that the certificate received via DTLS was issued by the
remote party of the SIP session.
The standard DTLS strategy for authenticating the communicating
parties is to give the server (and optionally the client) a PKIX
[RFC 5280] certificate. The client then verifies the certificate and
checks that the name in the certificate matches the server's domain
name. This works because there are a relatively small number of
servers and the cost for issuing and deploying PKIX certificates can
be justified. Issuing and deploying PKIX certificates to all clients
is not realistic in most deployment scenarios.
Holmberg, et al. Standards Track PAGE 9
RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
The design described in this document is intended to leverage the
integrity protection of the SIP signaling, while not requiring
confidentiality. As long as each side of the connection can verify
the integrity of the SDP received from the other side, then the DTLS
handshake cannot be hijacked via a man-in-the-middle attack. This
integrity protection is easily provided by the caller to the callee
via the SIP Identity [RFC 4474] mechanism. Other mechanisms, such as
the S/MIME mechanism [RFC 3261] or perhaps future mechanisms yet to be
specified, could also serve this purpose.
While this mechanism can still be used without such integrity
mechanisms, the security provided is limited to defense against
passive attack by intermediaries. An active attack on the signaling
plus an active attack on the media plane can allow an attacker to
attack the connection (R-SIG-MEDIA in the notation of [RFC 5479]).
7. IANA Considerations
This document updates the "Session Description Protocol (SDP)
Parameters" registry as specified in Section 8.2.2 of [RFC 4566].
Specifically, the values in Table 1 have been added to the SDP
"proto" field registry.

Appendix A. Examples
A.1. General
Prior to establishing the session, both Alice and Bob generate self-
signed certificates that are used for a single session or, more
likely, reused for multiple sessions.
The SIP signaling from Alice to her proxy is transported over TLS to
ensure an integrity-protected channel between Alice and her identity
service. Alice's identity service asserts identity of Alice and
protects the SIP message, e.g., using SIP Identity. Transport
between proxies should also be protected, e.g., by use of TLS.
In order to simplify the flow, only one element is shown for Alice's
and Bob's proxies.
For the sake of brevity and simplicity, only the mandatory SDP T.38
attributes are shown.
A.2. Basic Message Flow
Figure 3 shows an example message flow of session establishment for
T.38 fax securely transported using UDPTL over DTLS.
In this example flow, Alice acts as the passive endpoint of the DTLS
association, and Bob acts as the active endpoint of the DTLS
association.

(HelloVerifyRequest, ClientHello, ServerHello, Certificate,
ServerKeyExchange, CertificateRequest, ServerHelloDone,
Certificate, ClientKeyExchange, CertificateVerify,
ChangeCipherSpec, and Finished).
When Bob receives the certificate of Alice via DTLS, Bob checks
whether the certificate fingerprint calculated from Alice's
certificate received via DTLS matches the certificate fingerprint
received in the a=fingerprint SDP attribute of Figure 5. In this
message flow, the check is successful; thus, session setup
continues.
Note that, unlike in this example, it is not necessary to wait for
the DTLS handshake to finish before the SDP answer is sent. If
Bob has sent the SIP 200 (OK) response and later detects that the
certificate fingerprints do not match, he will terminate the
session.
Message (5):
Figure 6 shows a SIP 200 (OK) response to the initial SIP INVITE
request, sent by Bob to Bob's proxy. The SIP 200 (OK) response
contains an SDP answer.
The "m=" line in the SDP answer indicates T.38 fax using UDPTL
over DTLS.
The SDP "setup" attribute with a value of "active" in the SDP
answer indicates that Bob has requested to be the active endpoint.
The SDP "fingerprint" attribute in the SDP answer contains the
certificate fingerprint computed from Bob's self-signed
certificate.

Message (6):
Figure 7 shows a SIP 200 (OK) response to the initial SIP INVITE
request, sent by Alice's proxy to Alice. Alice checks if the
certificate fingerprint calculated from the Bob's certificate
received via DTLS is the same as the certificate fingerprint
received in the a=fingerprint SDP attribute of Figure 7. In this
message flow, the check is successful; thus, the session setup
continues.

Message (7):
Alice sends the SIP ACK request to Bob.
Message (8):
At this point, Bob and Alice can exchange T.38 fax securely
transported using UDPTL over DTLS.
Holmberg, et al. Standards Track PAGE 19
RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
A.3. Message Flow of T.38 Fax Replacing Audio Media Stream in an
Existing Audio-Only Session
Traditionally, most sessions with non-secure transport of T.38 fax,
transported using UDPTL, are established by modifying an ongoing
audio session into a fax session. Figure 8 shows an example message
flow of modifying an existing audio session into a session with T.38
fax securely transported using UDPTL over DTLS.
In this example flow, Alice acts as the passive endpoint of the DTLS
association, and Bob acts as the active endpoint of the DTLS
association.

Figure 8: Message Flow of T.38 Fax Replacing Audio Media Stream in an
Existing Audio-Only Session
Message (1):
Session establishment of audio-only session. The proxies decide
not to record-route.
Message (2):
Alice sends SIP re-INVITE request. The SDP offer included in the
SIP re-INVITE request is shown in Figure 9.
Holmberg, et al. Standards Track PAGE 20
RFC 7345 UDPTL over DTLS August 2014
The first "m=" line in the SDP offer indicates audio media stream
being removed. The second "m=" line in the SDP offer indicates
T.38 fax using UDPTL over DTLS being added.
The SDP "setup" attribute with a value of "actpass" in the SDP
offer indicates that Alice has requested to be either the active
or passive endpoint.
The SDP "fingerprint" attribute in the SDP offer contains the
certificate fingerprint computed from Alice's self-signed
certificate.

Figure 9: SDP Offer of Message (2)
Message (3):
Bob sends a DTLS ClientHello directly to Alice.
Message (4):
Alice and Bob exchange further messages of DTLS handshake
(HelloVerifyRequest, ClientHello, ServerHello, Certificate,
ServerKeyExchange, CertificateRequest, ServerHelloDone,
Certificate, ClientKeyExchange, CertificateVerify,
ChangeCipherSpec, and Finished).
When Bob receives the certificate of Alice via DTLS, Bob checks
whether the certificate fingerprint calculated from Alice's
certificate received via DTLS matches the certificate fingerprint
received in the SDP "fingerprint" attribute of Figure 9. In this
message flow, the check is successful; thus, session setup
continues.
