-
-
-1. Introduction
-
- This document provides the transport-specific information ("binding")
- necessary to convey iCalendar Transport-independent Interoperability
- Protocol (iTIP) [iTIP] over Internet email (using MIME) as defined in
- [RFC5322] and [RFC2045]. Therefore, this document defines the
- iCalendar Message-Based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP).
-
-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.
-
- [iCAL] specifies a core specification of objects, data types,
- properties, and property parameters.
-
- [iTIP] specifies an interoperability protocol for scheduling between
- different implementations.
-
- 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 [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 [RFC2119].
-
- Calendaring and scheduling roles are referred to in quoted strings of
- text with the first character of each word in uppercase. 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.
-
-
-
-Melnikov Standards Track [Page 3]
-
-RFC 6047 iMIP December 2010
-
-
- 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,
- "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 lowercase,
- 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 [RFC5322] and
- [RFC2045]. The calendaring and scheduling terms used in this memo
- are defined in [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 "recipient" of
- an iMIP message. In the case of a "request" method, the originator
- is the "Organizer" and the recipient is an "Attendee" of the event.
- In the case of a "response" method, the originator is an "Attendee"
- and the recipient is the "Organizer" of the event.
-
- The [RFC5322] "Reply-To" header field typically contains the email
- address of the originator of the scheduling message. However, this
- cannot be guaranteed because the sender of the iMIP message might not
- be the originator of the scheduling message and the sender's "Mail
- User Agent" (MUA) might not enforce iMIP semantics by translating the
- originator's address into the "Reply-To" email header field.
-
-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
- [iCAL]. It is assumed that this content type will be transported
- through a MIME electronic mail transport.
-
-
-
-
-Melnikov Standards Track [Page 4]
-
-RFC 6047 iMIP December 2010
-
-
-2.2. Security
-
- This section addresses several aspects of security including
- authentication, authorization, and confidentiality. Authentication
- and confidentiality can be achieved using Secure/MIME (S/MIME)
- [RFC5750] [RFC5751], which uses the Security Multiparts framework for
- MIME [RFC1847].
-
-2.2.1. Authorization
-
- In iTIP messages [iTIP], only the "Organizer" is authorized to modify
- or cancel calendar entries she organizes. That is,
- spoof@xyz.example.net is not allowed to modify or cancel a meeting
- that was organized by 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.example.net that declines a meeting invitation for
- b@example.com.
-
- Implementations of iMIP SHOULD verify the authenticity of the creator
- of an iCalendar object before taking any action. Methods for doing
- this are presented later in this document.
-
- [RFC1847] message flow in iTIP supports someone working on behalf of
- a "Calendar User" through use of the "sent-by" parameter that 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 MUST be performed using S/MIME [RFC5750] [RFC5751].
- Authentication is possible only on messages that have been signed.
- Unauthenticated messages (i.e., unsigned messages) may not be
- trusted.
-
-2.2.3. Confidentiality
-
- To ensure confidentiality using iMIP, implementations SHOULD utilize
- encryption specified in S/MIME [RFC5750] [RFC5751]. iMIP does not
- restrict a "Calendar User Agent" (CUA) from forwarding iCalendar
- objects to other users or agents.
-

-
-RFC 6047 iMIP December 2010
-
-
-2.3. Email Addresses
-
- The calendar address specified within the "ORGANIZER" and "ATTENDEE"
- properties in an iCalendar object sent using iMIP MUST be a proper
- "mailto:" [MAILTO] URI specification for the corresponding
- "Organizer" or "Attendee" of the "VEVENT" or "VTODO".
-
- Because [iTIP] does not preclude "Attendees" from forwarding
- "VEVENT"s or "VTODO"s to others, the [RFC5322] "Sender" value may not
- equal that of the "Organizer". Additionally, the "Organizer" or
- "Attendee" cannot be reliably inferred by the [RFC5322] "Sender" or
- "Reply-To" header field 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 Header Field
-
- A MIME body part containing content information that conforms to this
- document MUST have an [RFC2045] "Content-Type" value of
- "text/calendar". The [RFC2045] "Content-Type" header field MUST also
- include the MIME parameter "method". The value MUST be the same
- (ignoring case) as the value of the "METHOD" property within the
- iCalendar object.
-
- Note 1: A MIME message containing multiple iCalendar objects with
- different "method" values MUST be further encapsulated with a
- "multipart/mixed" MIME entity [RFC2046]. This will allow each of
- the iCalendar objects to be encapsulated within their own
- "text/calendar" MIME entity.
-
- Note 2: A MIME body part with a "Content-Type" value of
- "text/calendar" that lacks the "method" parameter is not
- considered to be an iMIP body part and thus is not subject to the
- requirements specified in this document.
-
- Note that according to [iCAL] the default character set for iCalendar
- objects is UTF-8 [UTF-8]. However, the default character set for a
- "text/*" MIME entity according to [RFC2046] is US-ASCII. Thus, a
- "charset" MIME parameter MUST be present if the iCalendar object
- contains characters that can't be represented in the US-ASCII
- character set and, as specified in [iCAL], it MUST have the value
- "UTF-8".
-
- The optional "component" MIME parameter defines the iCalendar
- component type contained within the iCalendar object.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Melnikov Standards Track [Page 6]
-
-RFC 6047 iMIP December 2010
-
-
- 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" [RFC2046]).
-
- In order to permit the information in the scheduling message to be
- understood by MIME User Agents (UAs) that do not support the
- "text/calendar" content type, scheduling messages SHOULD be sent with
- an alternative, human-readable form of the information.
-
- Note that "multipart/alternative" MUST NOT be used to represent two
- slightly different iCalendar objects, for example, two "VEVENT"s with
- alternative starting times.
-
- CUAs can use other MIME parameters of the "Content-Type" header
- field, as well as a language specified in the Content-Language header
- field [RFC3282], to pick a "text/calendar" part for processing if a
- "multipart/alternative" MIME message contains more than one
- "text/calendar" part.
-
- Any receiving UA compliant with this specification MUST be able to
- process "text/calendar" body parts enclosed within "multipart/*".
- Note that a "multipart/mixed" MIME message can include multiple
- "text/calendar" components. The receiving UA MUST be able to process
- all of them.
-
-2.5. Content-Transfer-Encoding Header Field
-
- Unless an iMIP message is transported over 8-bit clean transport
- (such as SMTP [8BITMIME]), a transfer encoding such as quoted-
- printable or base64 [RFC2045] MUST be used for iCalendar objects
- containing any characters that can't be represented in the US-ASCII
- character set. For example:

-
-2.6. Content-Disposition Header Field
-
- Implementations MAY include a "Content-Disposition" header field to
- define a file name for an iCalendar object. However, the handling of
- a MIME part MUST be based on its [RFC2045] "Content-Type" and not on
- the extension specified in the "Content-Disposition", as different
- email malware is known to trick User Agents into misinterpreting
- content of messages by specifying a file extension in the Content-
- Disposition header field that doesn't correspond to the value of the
- "Content-Type" header field.
-
-3. Security Considerations
-
- The security threats that applications must address when implementing
- iTIP are detailed in [iTIP]. In particular, two spoofing threats are
- identified in Section 6.1 of [iTIP]: spoofing the "Organizer", and
- spoofing an "Attendee". To address these threats, the originator of
- an iCalendar object must be authenticated by a recipient. Once
-
-
-
-Melnikov Standards Track [Page 8]
-
-RFC 6047 iMIP December 2010
-
-
- authenticated, a determination can be made as to whether or not the
- originator is authorized to perform the requested operation.
- Compliant applications MUST support signing and encrypting
- "text/calendar" body parts using a mechanism based on S/MIME
- [RFC5750] [RFC5751] in order to facilitate the authentication of the
- originator of the iCalendar object (see Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3).
- The steps for processing a signed iMIP message are described below:
-
- 1. Using S/MIME, determine who signed the "text/calendar" body part
- containing the iCalendar object. This is the "signer". (Note
- that the email address of the signer MUST be specified in the
- rfc822Name field of the "subject alternative name" extension of
- the signer certificate, as specified in [RFC5280],
- Section 4.1.2.6.) Note that the signer is not necessarily the
- person sending an e-mail message, since an e-mail message can be
- forwarded.
-
- 2. Correlate the signer to either an "ATTENDEE" property or to the
- "ORGANIZER" property in the iCalendar object, based on the method
- and the calendar component specified in the iCalendar object, as
- defined in Section 1.4 of [iTIP]. If the signer cannot be
- correlated to an "ATTENDEE"/"ORGANIZER" property, then actively
- warn the user controlling the "Calendar User Agent" that the
- iCalendar object is untrusted, and encourage the user to ignore
- the message, but give advanced users the option to (a) view the
- certificate of the signer and the entire certificate chain (if
- any) in order to help decide if the signer should be trusted to
- send the message, and then (b) allow the CUA to accept and process
- the iCalendar object.
-
- 3. Determine whether or not the "ATTENDEE"/"ORGANIZER" is authorized
- to perform the operation as defined by [iTIP]. If the conditions
- are not met, ignore the message.
-
- 4. If all the above conditions are met, the message can be processed.
-
- S/MIME signing also protects against malicious changes to messages in
- transit.
-
- If calendar confidentiality is required by the sender, signed iMIP
- messages SHOULD be encrypted by a mechanism based on S/MIME [RFC5750]
- [RFC5751]. If iMIP is used within a single ADministrative Management
- Domain (ADMD) [RFC5598], SMTP STARTTLS [SMTP-TLS] (together with
- STARTTLS in IMAP/POP [IMAP-POP-TLS]) MAY alternatively be used to
- provide calendar confidentiality.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Melnikov Standards Track [Page 9]
-
-RFC 6047 iMIP December 2010
-
-
- Once a signed and/or encrypted iMIP message is received and
- successfully verified (as detailed above) by a CUA, the CUA SHOULD
- remember whether the sender of the message is using signing and/or
- encrypting. If an unsigned iMIP message is received from the same
- sender later on, the receiving CUA SHOULD warn the receiving user
- about a possible man-in-the-middle attack and SHOULD ignore the
- message, unless explicitly overridden by the user.
-
- Implementations MAY provide means for users to disable signing and
- encrypting.
-
- 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".
- One way to achieve this is to reject iMIP messages sent by users
- other than the "ORGANIZER" or the "ATTENDEE"s. Alternatively, the
- receiver could have a list of trusted <sent-by, organizer> proxies in
- its local security policy. And yet another way is to prompt the user
- for confirmation.
-
- iMIP-based calendaring is frequently deployed within a single ADMD,
- with boundary filtering employed to restrict email calendaring flows
- to be inside the ADMD. This can help in minimizing malicious changes
- to calendaring messages in transit, as well as in making
- authorization decisions less risky.
-
- A security consideration associated with the use of the Content-
- Disposition header field is described in Section 2.6.
-
- Use of S/MIME makes the security considerations discussed in
- [RFC5750] [RFC5751] relevant to this document. For additional
- security considerations regarding certificate and Certificate
- Revocation List (CRL) verification, please see [RFC5280].

-5. Recommended Practices
-
- This section outlines a series of recommended practices when using a
- messaging transport to exchange iCalendar objects.
-
-5.1. Use of Content and Message IDs
-
- The [iCAL] specification makes frequent use of the URI for data types
- in properties such as "DESCRIPTION", "ATTACH", "CONTACT", and others.
- Two forms of URIs are the Message ID (MID) and the Content-ID (CID).
- These are defined in [RFC2392]. Although [RFC2392] allows
- referencing messages or MIME body parts in other MIME entities or
- stores, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that iMIP implementations include
- all referenced messages and body parts in a single MIME entity.
- Simply put, if an iCalendar object contains CID or MID references to
- other messages or body parts, implementations should ensure that
- these messages and/or body parts are transmitted with the iCalendar
- object. If they are not, there is no guarantee that the receiving
- CUA will have the access or the authorization to view those objects.
-
-6. IANA Considerations
-
- The "text/calendar" MIME media type was registered in [iCAL].
