This draft discusses the status and updates for the PSAP Callback mechanism, focusing on marking proposals, editorial changes, and IANA considerations. It highlights the separation of authorization from authentication, supporting existing identity mechanisms. Key issues like the SIP Identity’s limitations in representing callback markings are addressed, along with proposed alternatives for implementation. The draft aims to enhance the security and reliability of PSAP callbacks in emergency contexts, outlining next steps for further development.

Status of Draft Update • Strawman proposal for marking • Editorial updates & reference updates • Updated IANA consideration section
Security Story Unchanged • Separation of authorization and authentication • Support of existing identity mechanisms • P-Asserted-ID: hop-by-hop trust model • SIP Identity: end-to-end trust model • Currently no support for SIP SAML provided in the draft (=trait-based authorization)
Identity-based Authorization +----------+ | List of |+ | valid || | PSAP ids || +----------+| +----------+ * * whitelist * V Incoming +----------+ Normal SIP Msg | SIP |+ Treatment -------------->| Entity ||=============> + Identity | ||(if not in whitelist) +----------+| +----------+ || || || Preferential || Treatment ++=============> (in whitelist)
Callback Marking • Proposal in current draft: • Callback marking is represented as URI parameter. • Problem: • SIP Identity does NOT cover the URI parameter (but we want to tie the callback marking to the message) • Consequence: • Proposed marking currently does not work with SIP Identity
Alternatives? • Variant #1: Ignore solution for SIP Identity • No end-to-end security solution • Variant #2: • Custom MIME type for callback; stick it into SIP body • SIP Identity covers SIP message body • Define new header to point to message body. • Variant #3: • SIP SAML value for callback; stick it into SIP body • SIP Identity again covers SIP message body
Next Steps? • Produce new draft version based on discussed modifications.
