[Openid-specs-mobile-profile] CIBA Issues Review: Feedback for #62

Hello,

I have written a proposal for this feature into issue tracker https://bitbucket.org/openid/mobile/issues/62/ciba-support-for-spam-prevention-code-in

My proposal for name of parameter is user_code. The code is used to authorize sending an authentication request to user’s authentication device. In other words to prevent unsolicited authentication requests from appearing on user’s authentication device.

I completely agree that there are many cases where this mechanism is not required. Still it is quite easy to identify cases where it may be necessary. That is why the parameter is optional.

The details of how user codes works and are registered is not within the scope of this proposal. However it is perfectly possible to implement user codes as one time passwords. For example, to authorize an authentication request you’d enter a one time code that is shown on the authentication device.

Hi Nicolas,

First of all, thank you for your feedback.

I understand your view, I personally don't like to use an anti-spam code in CIBA, however it is only a proposal that try to fullfil the requirements of this opened issue, and if the WG don't agree we can decide not include the anti-spam code :).  However I have to say that in spite of the fact that I agree that a secret among more than 2 people is not a secret, what is proposed to be included in the CIBA spec in a way to carry-out the anti-spam code in the protocol and the way that it is shared is out of the scope of this spec.

The OpenID providers can offer a secure way to share the anti-spam code with the Service Providers asking the user for consent (of course). I personally don't see the utility of it, I only can think about it as a way where a user could have potentially more control on what he wants to allow to Service Providers, that is, those who has the anti-spam code could interact with the user using the CIBA flow, otherwise they must use the Device flow.

Honestly I don't think these use cases makes sense, we don't have these kind of use cases reported by Petteri and we really think that a Service Provider shouldn't have any interest in doing spam and others couldn't do it because CIBA authentication request uses an authenticated endpoint and only Service Providers can use it, but it was the only way I thought it could be supported by the protocol.

P.D: agree that “spam-code” can be confusing ☺

Best,
Gonza.

Hello Gonzalo,

   Here are two remarks about your proposal :

-       I think using the wording ‘spam-code’ to describe an *anti*spam code will introduce some confusion.

-       I’m not sure it’s a good idea to expose the antispam code on CIBA. This code is similar to a user password, so it should be a secret between a user and his MNO. It was created to protect the user in a situation where anybody was able to enter any MSISDN on a public form (e.g. the GSMA discovery page before an OpenId Connect interaction). In CIBA, it’s the SP that will call CIBA, so using an antispam code implies that the secret is also shared amongst all SP (is this still a secret?). On another hand, is there still a spam risk in CIBA? Yes, if SP allow any user to enter any MSISDN, but in this situation the SP should use the classic OpenId Connect flow (because the user is already using the SP to be able to enter a MSISDN). No, if the SP uses CIBA as a second factor. My proposal is that CIBA does not implement antispam code, and that MNO does not check the antispam code when CIBA is used.

   What is your point of view about this proposal?

Best regards,
Nicolas

Hi all,

I continue asking you for feedback about another CIBA issue, in that cases is the #62 https://bitbucket.org/openid/mobile/issues/62/ciba-support-for-spam-prevention-code-in

The spam-code belongs to the end-user, so it should be configured by the end-user in the OpenID Provider.
The CIBA flow doesn't have an interactive session with the end-user, but is the user who is contacted directly in his authentication device, what means that the end-user won't have the possibility to introduce the spam-code in his authentication, so, it only could be done by the Client.

We think that it would be possible to add support for that in CIBA as follow:

1.            A new OPTIONAL field "spam-code" in the CIBA authentication request.
2.            An specific error in case of the end-user had the anti-spam activatedin the OIDC and the Service Provider didn't include it in the authentication request.

It is worth it to highlight that this would be an optional feature implemented by the OIDC's and it should be "out of the scope" of CIBA to define how the end-user would share the spam-code with the Service Provider and how the end-user would configure the spam-code in the OIDC.

I would like to know again your point of view on that in order to resolve this issue.

Best,
Gonza.
