<t><xref target="RFC6443" format="default"/> describes how devices use
the Internet to place emergency calls and how Public Safety Answering
Points (PSAPs) handle Internet multimedia emergency calls natively. The
exchange of multimedia traffic for emergency services involves a SIP
session establishment starting with a SIP INVITE that negotiates various
parameters for that session.</t>
<t>In some cases, however, there is only application data to be conveyed

environments include sensors issuing alerts, and certain types of

of interactions are called 'non-interactive emergency calls'. In this

<t>Non-interactive emergency calls are similar to regular emergency calls in t

However, the communication interaction will not lead
to the exchange of interactive media, that is, Real-Time Protocol packet

<t>The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) <xref target="cap"/> is a format for
exchanging emergency alerts and public warnings. CAP is mainly used
for conveying alerts and warnings between authorities and from
authorities to citizens/individuals. This document is concerned with citizen
-to-authority "alerts", where the alert is a call without any interactive media.
</t>
<t>This document describes a method of including a CAP message in a SIP trans
action by defining it as a block of "additional data" as defined in <xref target
="RFC7852"/>. The CAP message is included either by value (the CAP message is i
n the body of the message, using a CID) or by reference (the message includes a
URI that, when dereferenced, returns
the CAP message). The additional data mechanism is also used to send alert-sp
ecific data beyond that available in the CAP message. This document also descri

<t>In any case, for alerts initiated by sensors, the identity could play
an important role in deciding whether to accept or ignore an incoming
alert message. With the scenario shown in <xref target="targeted"

input will be processed. For this reason, it needs to be possible to
refuse to accept alert messages from unknown origins. Two types of
information elements can be used for this purpose:
</t>
<ol spacing="normal" type="1">
<li>SIP itself provides security mechanisms that allow the verification
of the originator's identity, such as P-Asserted-Identity <xref target="RFC3325"
format="default"/> or SIP Identity <xref target="RFC8224" format="default"/>. T
he latter provides a cryptographic assurance while the former relies on a chain-
of-trust model. These mechanisms can be reused.</li>
<li>CAP provides additional security mechanisms and the ability to carry
further information about the sender's identity. Section 3.3.4.1 of <xref targe
t="CAP" format="default"/> specifies the signing algorithms of CAP

<t>The specific policy and mechanisms used in a given deployment are out

<t>There is no rate limiting mechanisms in SIP, and all kinds of
emergency calls, including those defined in this document, could be used
by malicious actors or misbehaving devices to effect a denial-of-service
attack on the emergency services. The mechanism defined in this
document does not introduce any new considerations, although it may be
more likely that devices that place non-interactive emergency calls
without a human initiating them may be more likely than those that
require a user to initiate them.</t>
<t>Implementors should note that automated emergency calls may be prohibit
ed or regulated in some jurisdictions, and there may be penalties for "false pos
itive" calls.</t>
<t>This document describes potential retrieval of information by
dereferencing URIs found in a Call Info header of a SIP MESSAGE. These
may include a CAP alert as well as other additional data <xref
target="RFC7852"/> blocks. The domain of the device sending the SIP
MESSAGE; the domain of the server holding the CAP alert, if sent by
reference; and the domain of other additional data blocks, if sent by
reference, may all be different. No assumptions can be made that there
are trust relationships between these entities. Recipients
<bcp14>MUST</bcp14> take precautions in retrieving any additional data
blocks passed by reference, including the CAP alert, because the URI
may point to a malicious actor or entity not expecting to be referred to
for this purpose. The considerations in handling URIs in <xref
target="RFC3986" format="default"/> apply.</t>
<t>Use of timestamps to prevent replay is subject to the availability of
accurate time at all participants. Because emergency event notification
via this mechanism is relatively low frequency and generally involves
human interaction, implementations may wish to consider messages with
times within a small number of seconds of each other to be effectively
simultaneous for the purposes of detecting replay. Implementations may
also wish to consider that most deployed time distribution protocols
likely to be used by these systems are not presently secure.</t>
<t>In addition to the desire to perform identity-based access control,
the classic communication security threats need to be considered,
including integrity protection to prevent forgery or replay of alert
messages in transit. To deal with replay of alerts, a CAP document
contains the mandatory &lt;identifier&gt;, &lt;sender&gt;, and
&lt;sent&gt; elements and an optional &lt;expire&gt; element. Together,
these elements make the CAP document unique for a specific sender and
provide time restrictions. An entity that has already received a CAP
alert within the indicated timeframe is able to detect a replayed
message and, if the content of that message is unchanged, then no
additional security vulnerability is created. Additionally, it is
<bcp14>RECOMMENDED</bcp14> to make use of SIP security mechanisms, such
as the SIP Identity PASSporT <xref target="RFC8225" format="default"/>,
to tie the CAP alert to the SIP message. To provide protection of the
entire SIP message exchange between neighboring SIP entities, the usage
of TLS is <bcp14>RECOMMENDED</bcp14>. <xref target="RFC6443"
format="default"/> discusses the issues of using TLS with emergency
calls, which are equally applicable to non-interactive emergency
calls.</t>
<t>Note that none of the security mechanisms in this document protect
against a compromised sensor sending crafted alerts. Confidentiality
provided for any emergency calls, including non-interactive messages, is
subject to local regulations. Privacy issues are discussed in <xref
target="RFC7852" format="default"/> and are applicable here.

<t>In any case, for alerts initiated by sensors, the identity could play an impo <section numbered="true" toc="default">
rtant role in deciding whether to accept or ignore an incoming alert message. Wi <name>IANA Considerations</name>
th the scenario shown in <xref target="targeted"/> it is very likely that only a
uthenticated sensor input will be processed. For this reason, it needs to be pos
sible to refuse to accept alert messages from unknown origins. Two types of info
rmation elements can be used for this purpose:
<list style="numbers">
<t>SIP itself provides security mechanisms that allow the verification of the or
iginator's identity, such as P-Asserted-Identity <xref target="RFC3325"/> or SIP
Identity <xref target="RFC8224"/>. The latter provides a cryptographic assuranc
e while the former relies on a chain of trust model. These mechanisms can be reu
sed.</t>
<t>CAP provides additional security mechanisms and the ability to carry further
information about the sender's identity. Section 3.3.4.1 of <xref target="cap"/>
specifies the signing algorithms of CAP
documents.</t>
