        GEOPRIV Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol:
               Problem Statement and Requirements

Abstract

This document provides a problem statement, lists requirements, and captures design aspects for a GEOPRIV Layer 7 (L7) Location Configuration Protocol (LCP). This protocol aims to allow an end host to obtain location information, by value or by reference, from a Location Information Server (LIS) that is located in the access network. The obtained location information can then be used for a variety of different protocols and purposes. For example, it can be used as input to the Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) Protocol or to convey location within the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to other entities.

Introduction

This document provides a problem statement, lists requirements, and captures design aspects for a GEOPRIV Layer 7 (L7) Location Configuration Protocol (LCP). The protocol has two purposes:

o It is used by a device to obtain its own location (referred as

  "Location by Value" or LbyV) from a dedicated node, called the
  Location Information Server (LIS).

o It enables the device to obtain a reference to location

  information (referred as "Location by Reference" or LbyR).  This
  reference can take the form of a subscription URI, such as a SIP
  presence-based Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), an HTTP/HTTPS
  URI, or another URI.  The requirements related to the task of
  obtaining an LbyR are described in a separate document, see
  [LBYR-REQS].

The need for these two functions can be derived from the scenarios presented in Section 3.

For this document, we assume that the GEOPRIV Layer 7 LCP runs between the device and the LIS.

This document is structured as follows. Section 4 discusses the challenge of discovering the LIS in the access network. Section 5 compares different types of identifiers that can be used to retrieve location information. A list of requirements for the L7 LCP can be found in Section 6.

This document does not describe how the access network provider determines the location of the device since this is largely a matter of the capabilities of specific link-layer technologies or certain deployment environments.

Terminology

In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 RFC2119, with the qualification that unless otherwise stated these words apply to the design of the GEOPRIV Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol.

The term Location Information Server (LIS) refers to an entity capable of determining the location of a device and of providing that location information, a reference to it, or both via the Location Configuration Protocol (LCP) to the Target.

This document also uses terminology from RFC5012 (such as Internet Access Provider (IAP), Internet Service Provider (ISP), and Application Service Provider (ASP)).

With the term "Access Network Provider" we refer to the IAP and the ISP) without further distinguishing these two entities, as it is not relevant for the purpose of this document. An additional requirements document on LIS-to-LIS protocol [LIS2LIS] shows a scenario where the separation between IAP and ISP is important.

Scenarios

This section describes a few network scenarios where the L7 LCP may be used. Note that this section does not aim to exhaustively list all possible deployment environments. Instead, we focus on the following environments:

o DSL/Cable networks, WiMAX-like (Worldwide Interoperability for

  Microwave Access) fixed access

o Airport, city, campus wireless networks, such as 802.11a/b/g,

  802.16e/WiMAX

o 3G networks

o Enterprise networks

Note that we use the term 'host' instead of device for better readability.

Fixed-Wired Environment

Figure 1 shows a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) network scenario with the Access Network Provider and the customer premises. The Access Network Provider operates link- and network-layer devices (represented as a node) and the LIS.

Figure 1: Fixed-Wired Scenario

The customer premises network consists of a router with a Network Address Translator with Port Address Translation (NAPT) and a DHCP server as used in most Customer Premises Networks (CPNs) and the Network Termination Equipment (NTE) where Layer 1 and sometimes Layer 2 protocols are terminated. The router in the home network (e.g., broadband router, cable or DSL router) typically runs a NAPT and a DHCP server. The NTE is a legacy device and in many cases cannot be modified for the purpose of delivering location information to the host. The same is true of the device with the NAPT and DHCP server.

It is possible for the NTE and the home router to physically be in the same box, or for there to be no home router, or for the NTE and host to be in the same physical box (with no home router). An example of this last case is where Ethernet service is delivered to customers' homes, and the Ethernet network interface card (NIC) in their PC serves as the NTE.

Current CPN deployments generally fall into one of the following classifications:

1. Single PC

   1.  with Ethernet network interface card (NIC), with Point-to-
       Point Protocol Over Ethernet (PPPoE), or Dynamic Host
       Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on PC; there may be a bridged
       DSL or cable modem as the NTE, or the Ethernet NIC might be
       the NTE.
   2.  with USB-based DSL access or a cable modem access using
       Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (PPPoA), PPPoE, or DHCP on
       PC.
   Note that the device with NAPT and DHCP of Figure 1 is not
   present in such a scenario.

2. One or more hosts with at least one router (DHCP client or PPPoE,

   DHCP server in router; Voice over IP (VoIP) can be a soft client
   on a PC, a stand-alone VoIP device, or an Analog Terminal Adaptor
   (ATA) function embedded in a router):
   1.  combined router and NTE.
   2.  separate router with NTE in bridged mode.
   3.  separate router with NTE (NTE/router does PPPoE or DHCP to
       WAN, router provides DHCP server for hosts in LAN; double
       NAT).

The majority of fixed-access broadband customers use a router. The placement of the VoIP client is mentioned to describe what sorts of hosts may need to be able to request location information. Soft clients on PCs are frequently not launched until long after bootstrapping is complete, and are not able to control any options that may be specified during bootstrapping. They also cannot control whether a VPN client is running on the end host.

Mobile Network

One example of a moving network is a WiMAX-fixed wireless scenario. This also applies to "pre-WiMAX" and "WiMAX-like" fixed wireless networks. In implementations intended to provide broadband service to a home or other stationary location, the customer-side antenna/NTE tends to be rather small and portable. The LAN-side output of this device is an Ethernet jack, which can be used to feed a PC or a router. The PC or router then uses DHCP or PPPoE to connect to the access network, the same as for wired access networks. Access providers who deploy this technology may use the same core network (including network elements that terminate PPPoE and provide IP addresses) for DSL, fiber to the premises (FTTP), and fixed wireless customers.

Given that the customer antenna is portable and can be battery- powered, it is possible for a user to connect a laptop to it and move within the coverage area of a single base antenna. This coverage area can be many square kilometers in size. In this case, the laptop (and any SIP client running on it) would be completely unaware of their mobility. Only the user and the network are aware of the laptop's mobility.

Further examples of moving networks (where end devices may not be aware that they are moving) can be found in busses, trains, and airplanes.

Figure 2 shows an example topology for a moving network.

Wireless Access

Figure 3 shows a wireless access network where a moving host obtains location information or references to location information from the LIS. The access equipment uses, in many cases, link-layer devices. Figure 3 represents a hotspot network found, for example, in hotels, airports, and coffee shops. For editorial reasons we only describe a single access point and do not depict how the LIS obtains location information since this is very deployment specific.

Discovery of the Location Information Server

  Note that this section lists mechanisms that were discussed in the
  GEOPRIV Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol design team.  They
  are included to show challenges in the problem space and are
  listed for completeness reasons.  They do not in any way mean that
  there is consensus about any of the mechanisms or that the IETF
  recommends any of the procedures described in this section.

When a device wants to retrieve location information from the LIS, it first needs to discover it. Based on the problem statement of determining the location of the device, which is known best by entities close to the device itself, we assume that the LIS is located in the local subnet or in the access network. Several procedures have been investigated that aim to discover the LIS in such an access network.

DHCP-based Discovery:

  In some environments, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
  (DHCP) might be a good choice for discovering the fully-qualified
  domain name (FQDN) or the IP address of the LIS.  In environments
  where DHCP can be used, it is also possible to use the already
  defined location extensions.  In environments with legacy devices,
  such as the one shown in Section 3.1, a DHCP-based discovery
  solution may not be possible.

DNS-based Discovery:

  Before a Domain Name System (DNS) lookup can be started, it is
  necessary to learn the domain name of the access network that runs
  an LIS.  Several ways to learn the domain name exist.  For
  example, the end host obtains its own public IP address via Simple
  Traversal of the UDP Protocol through NAT (STUN) RFC5389, and
  performs a reverse DNS lookup (assuming the data is provisioned
  into the DNS).  Then, the DNS Service (SRV) record or the DNS
  Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) record for that domain is
  retrieved.  A more detailed description of this approach can be
  found in [LIS-DISC].

Redirect Rule:

  A redirect rule at an entity in the access network could be used
  to redirect the L7 LCP signaling messages (destined to a specific
  port) to the LIS.  The device could then discover the LIS by
  sending a packet with a specific (registered) port number to
  almost any address as long as the destination IP address does not
  target an entity in the local network.  The packet would be
  redirected to the respective LIS being configured.  The same
  procedure is used by captive portals whereby any HTTP traffic is
  intercepted and redirected.
  To some extent, this approach is similar to packets that are
  marked with a Router Alert option RFC2113 and intercepted by
  entities that understand the specific marking.  In the above-
  mentioned case, however, the marking is provided via a registered
  port number instead of relying on a Router Alert option.
  This solution approach would require a deep packet inspection
  capability at an entity in the access provider's networks that
  scans for the occurrence of particular destination port numbers.

Multicast Query:

  A device could also discover an LIS by sending a DNS query to a
  well-known address.  An example of such a mechanism is multicast
  DNS (see RFC4795 and [mDNS]).  Unfortunately, these mechanisms
  only work on the local link.

Anycast:

  With this solution, an anycast address is defined (for IPv4 and
  IPv6) in the style of RFC3068 that allows the device to route
  discovery packets to the nearest LIS.  Note that this procedure
  would be used purely for discovery and is therefore similar to the
  local Teredo server discovery approach outlined in Section 4.2 of
  [TEREDO-SEL].

The LIS discovery procedure raises deployment and security issues. The access network needs to be designed to prevent man-in-the-middle adversaries from presenting themselves as an LIS to devices. When a device discovers an LIS, it needs to ensure (and be able to ensure) that the discovered entity is indeed an authorized LIS.

Identifier for Location Determination

  Note that this section lists mechanisms that were discussed in the
  GEOPRIV Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol design team.  They
  are included to show challenges in the problem space and are
  listed for completeness reasons.  They do not in any way mean that
  there is consensus about any of the mechanisms or that the IETF
  recommends any of the procedures described in this section.

The LIS returns location information to the device when it receives a request. Some form of identifier is therefore needed to allow the LIS to retrieve the device's current location, or a good approximation, from a database.

The chosen identifier needs to have the following properties:

Ability for Device to learn or know the identifier:

  The device MUST know or MUST be able to learn of the identifier
  (explicitly or implicitly) in order to send it to the LIS.
  Implicitly refers to the situation where a device along the path
  between the device and the LIS modifies the identifier, as it is
  done by a NAT when an IP address based identifier is used.

Ability to use the identifier for location determination:

  The LIS MUST be able to use the identifier (directly or
  indirectly) for location determination.  Indirectly refers to the
  case where the LIS uses other identifiers internally for location
  determination, in addition to the one provided by the device.

Security properties of the identifier:

  Misuse needs to be minimized whereby an off-path adversary MUST
  NOT be able to obtain location information of other devices.  An
  on-path adversary in the same subnet SHOULD NOT be able to spoof
  the identifier of another device in the same subnet.

The following list discusses frequently mentioned identifiers and their properties:

Media Access Control (MAC) Address:

  The MAC address is known to the device itself, but not carried
  beyond a single IP hop and therefore not accessible to the LIS in
  most deployment environments (unless carried in the L7 LCP
  itself).

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Virtual Path Identifier / Virtual

  Circuit Identifier (VPI/VCI):
  The VCI/VPI is generally only seen by the DSL modem.  Almost all
  routers in the United States use 1 of 2 VPI/VCI value pairs: 0/35
  and 8/35.  This VC is terminated at the digital subscriber line
  access multiplexer (DSLAM), which uses a different VPI/VCI (per
  end customer) to connect to the ATM switch.  Only the network
  provider is able to map VPI/VCI values through its network.  With
  the arrival of Very high rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL), ATM
  will slowly be phased out in favor of Ethernet.

Ethernet Switch (Bridge)/Port Number:

  This identifier is available only in certain networks, such as
  enterprise networks, typically available via the IEEE 802.1AB
  protocol [802.1AB] or proprietary protocols like the Cisco
  Discovery Protocol (CDP) [CDP].

Cell ID:

  This identifier is available in cellular data networks and the
  cell ID may not be visible to the device.

Host Identifier:

  The Host Identifier introduced by the Host Identity Protocol (HIP)
  RFC5201 allows identification of a particular host.
  Unfortunately, the network can only use this identifier for
  location determination if the operator already stores a mapping of
  host identities to location information.  Furthermore, there is a
  deployment problem since the host identities are not used in
  today's networks.

Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA):

  The concept of a Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) was
  introduced by RFC3972.  The basic idea is to put the truncated
  hash of a public key into the interface identifier part of an IPv6
  address.  In addition to the properties of an IP address, it
  allows a proof of ownership.  Hence, a return routability check
  can be omitted.  It is only available for IPv6 addresses.

Network Access Identifiers:

  A Network Access Identifier RFC4282 is used during the network
  access authentication procedure, for example, in RADIUS RFC2865
  and Diameter RFC3588.  In DSL networks, the user credentials
  are, in many cases, only known by the home router and not
  configured at the device itself.  To the network, the
  authenticated user identity is only available if a network access
  authentication procedure is executed.  In case of roaming, the
  user's identity might not be available to the access network since
  security protocols might offer user identity confidentiality and
  thereby hide the real identity of the user allowing the access
  network to only see a pseudonym or a randomized string.

Unique Client Identifier

  The Broadband Forum has defined that all devices that expect to be
  managed by the TR-069 interface, see [TR069], have to be able to
  generate an identifier that uniquely identifies the device.  It
  also has a requirement that routers that use DHCP to the WAN use
  RFC 4361 RFC4361 to provide the DHCP server with a unique client
  identifier.  This identifier is, however, not visible to the
  device when legacy NTE devices are used.

IP Address:

  The device's IP address may be used for location determination.
  This IP address is not visible to the LIS if the device is behind
  one or multiple NATs.  This may not be a problem since the
  location of a device that is located behind a NAT cannot be
  determined by the access network.  The LIS would in this case only
  see the public IP address of the NAT binding allocated by the NAT,
  which is the expected behavior.  The property of the IP address
  for a return routability check is attractive to return location
  information only to the address that submitted the request.  If an
  adversary wants to learn the location of a device (as identified
  by a particular IP address), then it does not see the response
  message (unless it is on the subnetwork or at a router along the
  path towards the LIS).
  On a shared medium, an adversary could ask for location
  information of another device.  The adversary would be able to see
  the response message since it is sniffing on the shared medium
  unless security mechanisms, such as link-layer encryption, are in
  place.  With a network deployment as shown in Section 3.1 with
  multiple devices in the Customer Premises being behind a NAT, the
  LIS is unable to differentiate the individual devices.  For WLAN
  deployments as found in hotels, as shown in Section 3.3, it is
  possible for an adversary to eavesdrop data traffic and
  subsequently to spoof the IP address in a query to the LIS to
  learn more detailed location information (e.g., specific room
  numbers).  Such an attack might, for example, compromise the
  privacy of hotel guests.

Requirements

The following requirements and assumptions have been identified:

Requirement L7-1: Identifier Choice

  The L7 LCP MUST be able to carry different identifiers or MUST
  define an identifier that is mandatory to implement.  Regarding
  the latter aspect, such an identifier is only appropriate if it is
  from the same realm as the one for which the location information
  service maintains identifier-to-location mapping.

Requirement L7-2: Mobility Support

  The L7 LCP MUST support a broad range of mobility from devices
  that can only move between reboots, to devices that can change
  attachment points with the impact that their IP address is
  changed, to devices that do not change their IP address while
  roaming, to devices that continuously move by being attached to
  the same network attachment point.

Requirement L7-3: ASP and Access Network Provider Relationship

  The design of the L7 LCP MUST NOT assume that a business or trust
  relationship between the Application Service Provider (ASP) and
  the Access Network Provider.  Requirements for resolving a
  reference to location information are not discussed in this
  document.

Requirement L7-4: Layer 2 and Layer 3 Provider Relationship

  The design of the L7 LCP MUST assume that there is a trust and
  business relationship between the L2 and the L3 provider.  The L3
  provider operates the LIS that the device queries.  It, in turn,
  needs to obtain location information from the L2 provider since
  this one is closest to the device.  If the L2 and L3 provider for
  the same device are different entities, they cooperate for the
  purposes needed to determine locations.

Requirement L7-5: Legacy Device Considerations

  The design of the L7 LCP MUST consider legacy devices, such as
  residential NAT devices and NTEs in a DSL environment, that cannot
  be upgraded to support additional protocols, for example, to pass
  additional information towards the device.

Requirement L7-6: Virtual Private Network (VPN) Awareness

  The design of the L7 LCP MUST assume that at least one end of a
  VPN is aware of the VPN functionality.  In an enterprise scenario,
  the enterprise side will provide the LIS used by the device and
  can thereby detect whether the LIS request was initiated through a
  VPN tunnel.

Requirement L7-7: Network Access Authentication

  The design of the L7 LCP MUST NOT assume that prior network access
  authentication.

Requirement L7-8: Network Topology Unawareness

  The design of the L7 LCP MUST NOT assume that devices are aware of
  the access network topology.  Devices are, however, able to
  determine their public IP address(es) via mechanisms, such as
  Simple Traversal of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Through Network
  Address Translators (NATs) (STUN) RFC5389 or Next Steps in
  Signaling (NSIS) NAT/Firewall NSIS Signaling Layer Protocol (NSLP)
  [NSLP].

Requirement L7-9: Discovery Mechanism

  The L7 LCP MUST define a mandatory-to-implement LIS discovery
  mechanism.

Requirement L7-10: PIDF-LO Creation

  When an LIS creates a Presence Information Data Format (PIDF)
  Location Object (LO) RFC4119, then it MUST put the <geopriv>
  element into the <device> element of the presence document (see
  RFC4479).  This ensures that the resulting PIDF-LO document,
  which is subsequently distributed to other entities, conforms to
  the rules outlined in RFC5491.

Security Considerations

By using a Geolocation L7 Location Configuration Protocol, the device (and a human user of such a device, if applicable) exposes themselves to a privacy risk whereby an unauthorized entity receives location information. Providing confidentiality protected location to the requestor depends on the success of four steps:

1. The client MUST have a means to discover a LIS.

2. The client MUST authenticate the discovered LIS.

3. The LIS MUST be able to determine location and return it to the

   authorized entity.

4. The LIS MUST securely exchange messages without intermediaries

   eavesdropping or tampering with them.

This document contains various security-related requirements throughout the document addressing the above-mentioned steps. For a broader security discussion of the overall geolocation privacy architecture, the reader is referred to [GEOPRIV-ARCH].
