<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. Introduction</span>
Geographical location information describes a physical position in
the world that may correspond to the past, present, or future
location of a person, event, or device. Numerous applications used
in the Internet today benefit from sharing location information
(including mapping/navigation applications, 'friend finders' on cell
phones, and so on). However, such applications may disclose the
whereabouts of a person in a manner contrary to the user's
preferences. Privacy lapses may result from poor protocol security
(which permits eavesdroppers to capture location information),
inability to articulate or accommodate user preferences, or similar
defects common in existing systems. The privacy concerns surrounding
the unwanted disclosure of a person's physical location are among the
more serious issues that confront users on the Internet.
Consequently, a need has been identified to convey geographical
location information within an object that includes a user's privacy
and disclosure preferences and which is protected by strong
cryptographic security. Previous work [<a href="#ref-13" title=""A Presence Architecture for the Distribution of Geopriv Location Objects"">13</a>] has observed that this
problem bears some resemblance to the general problem of

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4119">RFC 4119</a> GEOPRIV Location Object December 2005</span>
communicating and securing presence information on the Internet.
Presence (defined in [<a href="#ref-12" title=""A Model for Presence and Instant Messaging"">12</a>]) provides a real-time communications
disposition for a user, and thus has similar requirements for
selective distribution and security.
Therefore, this document extends the XML-based Presence Information
Data Format (PIDF [<a href="#ref-2" title=""Presence Information Data Format (PIDF)"">2</a>]) to allow the encapsulation of location
information within a presence document.
This document does not invent any format for location information
itself. Numerous existing formats based on civic location,
geographic coordinates, and the like, have been developed in other
standards fora. Instead, this document defines an object that is
suitable both for identifying and encapsulating preexisting location
information formats, and for providing adequate security and policy
controls to regulate the distribution of location information over
the Internet.
The location object described in this document can be used
independently of any 'using protocol', as the term is defined in the
GEOPRIV requirements [<a href="#ref-10" title=""Geopriv Requirements"">10</a>]. It is considered an advantage of this
proposal that existing presence protocols (such as [<a href="#ref-14" title=""SIP: Session Initiation Protocol"">14</a>]) would
natively accommodate the location object format defined in this
document, and be capable of composing location information with other
presence information, because this location object is an extension of
PIDF. However, the usage of this location object format is not
limited to presence-using protocols-- any protocol that can carry XML
or MIME types can carry PIDF.
Some of the requirements in [<a href="#ref-10" title=""Geopriv Requirements"">10</a>] and [<a href="#ref-11" title=""Core Privacy Protections for Geopriv Location Object"">11</a>] concern data collection and
usage policies associated with location objects. This document
provides only the minimum markup necessary for a user to express the
necessary privacy preferences as specified by the GEOPRIV
requirements (the three basic elements in [<a href="#ref-11" title=""Core Privacy Protections for Geopriv Location Object"">11</a>]). However, this
document does not demonstrate how a full XML-based ruleset,
accommodating the needs of Location Servers, could be embedded in
PIDF. It is assumed that other protocols (such as HTTP) will be used
to move rules between Rule Holders and Location Servers, and that
full rulesets will be defined in a separate document.

describes (REQ 2.1). PIDF has such an identifier already: every
PIDF document has an "entity" attribute of the 'presence' element
that signifies the URI of the entity whose presence the document
describes. Consequently, if location information is contained in a
PIDF document, the URI in the "entity" attribute of the 'presence'
element indicates the target of that location information (the
'presentity'). The URI in the "entity" attribute generally uses the
"pres" URI scheme defined in [<a href="#ref-3" title=""Common Profile for Presence (CPP)"">3</a>]. Such URIs can serve as unlinkable
pseudonyms (per REQ 12).
PIDF optionally contains a 'contact' element that provides a URI
where the presentity can be reached by some means of communication.
Usually, the URI scheme in the value of the 'contact' element gives
some sense of how the presentity can be reached; if it uses the SIP
URI scheme, for example, SIP can be used, and so on. Location
information can be provided without any associated means of
communication. Thus, the 'contact' element may or may not be
present, as desired by the creator of the PIDF document.
PIDF optionally contains a 'timestamp' element that designates the
time at which the PIDF document was created. This element
corresponds to REQ 2.7a.
PIDF contains a 'status' element, which is mandatory. 'status'
contains an optional child element, 'basic', that describes the
presentity's communications disposition (in very broad terms: either
OPEN or CLOSED). For the purposes of this document, it is not
necessary for 'basic' status to be included. If, however,
communications disposition is included in a PIDF document above and
beyond geolocation, then 'basic' status may appear in a PIDF document
that uses these extensions.
PIDF also contains a 'tuple' umbrella element, which holds an "id"
element used to uniquely identify a segment of presence information
so that changes to this information can be tracked over time (as
multiple notifications of presence are received). 'timestamp',
'status', and 'contact' are composed under 'tuple'.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.2" href="#section-2.2">2.2</a>. Extensions to PIDF for Location and Usage Rules</span>
This XML Schema extends the 'status' element of PIDF with a complex
element called 'geopriv'. There are two major subelements that are
encapsulated within geopriv: one for location information, and one
for usage rules. Both of these subelements are mandatory, and are
described in subsequent sections. By composing these two subelements
under 'geopriv', the usage rules are clearly and explicitly
associated with the location information.
For extensibility (see REQ 1.4), the schema allows any other
subelements to appear under the 'geopriv' element. Two other
optional subelements are included in this document: one that
indicates the method by which geographical location was determined,
and one that allows an explicit designation of the entity that
provided the information.
<span class="h4"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.2.1" href="#section-2.2.1">2.2.1</a>. 'location-info' Element</span>
Each 'geopriv' element MUST contain one 'location-info' element. A
'location-info' element consists of one or more chunks of location
information (per REQ 2.5). The format of the location information
(REQ 2.6) is identified by the imported XML Schema, which describes
the namespace in question. All PIDF documents that contain a
'geopriv' element MUST contain one or more import directives
indicating the XML Schema(s) that are used for geographic location
formats.
In order to ensure interoperability of GEOPRIV implementations, it is
necessary to select a baseline location format that all compliant
implementations support (see REQ 3.1). Because it satisfies REQ
2.5.1, this document works from the assumption that Geography Markup
Language (GML) 3.0 [<a href="#ref-15" title=""Open Geography Markup Language (GML) Implementation Specification"">15</a>] shall be this mandatory format (a MUST
implement for all PIDF implementations supporting the 'geopriv'
element).
GML is an extraordinarily thorough and versatile system for modeling
all manner of geographic object types, topologies, metadata,
coordinate reference systems, and units of measurement. The simplest
package for GML supporting location
information is the 'feature.xsd' schema. Although 'feature.xsd' can
express complicated geographical concepts, it requires very little
markup to provide basic coordinate points for the most commonly used
cases. Various format descriptions (including latitude/longitude
based location information) are supported by Feature (see <a href="#section-7.4.1.4">section</a>
<a href="#section-7.4.1.4">7.4.1.4</a> of [<a href="#ref-15" title=""Open Geography Markup Language (GML) Implementation Specification"">15</a>] for examples), which resides here:

urn:opengis:specification:gml:schema-xsd:feature:v3.0
Note that by importing the Feature schema, necessary GML baseline
schemas are transitively imported.
Complex features (such as modeling topologies and polygons,
directions and vectors, temporal indications of the time for which a
particular location is valid for a target) are also available in GML,
but require importing additional schemas. For the purposes of
baseline interoperability as defined by this document, only support
for the 'feature.xsd' GML schema is REQUIRED.
Implementations MAY support the civic location format (civicLoc)
defined in <a href="#section-2.2.5">Section 2.2.5</a>. civicLoc provides the following elements:

Either the GML 3.0 geographical information format element, or the
location format element ('civicLoc') defined in this document, MAY
appear in a 'location-info' element. Both MAY also be used in the

implementations compliant with this specification.
<span class="h4"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.2.2" href="#section-2.2.2">2.2.2</a>. 'usage-rules' Element</span>
At the time this document was written, the policy requirements for
GEOPRIV objects were not definitively completed. However, the
'usage-rules' element exists to satisfy REQ 2.8 and the requirements
of the GEOPRIV policy requirements [<a href="#ref-11" title=""Core Privacy Protections for Geopriv Location Object"">11</a>] document. Each 'geopriv'
element MUST contain one 'usage-rules' element, even if the Rule
Maker has requested that all subelements be given their default
values.
Following the policy requirements document (<a href="#section-3.1">Section 3.1</a>), there are
three fields that need to be expressible in Location Objects
throughout their lifecycle (from Generator to Recipient): one field
that limits retransmission, one that limits retention, and one that
contains a reference to external rulesets. Those three fields are
<span class="grey">Peterson Standards Track [Page 7]</span></pre>
<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-8" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4119">RFC 4119</a> GEOPRIV Location Object December 2005</span>
instantiated here by the first three elements. The fourth element
provides a generic space for human-readable policy directives. Any
of these fields MAY be present in a Location Object 'usage-rules'
element; none are required to be.
'retransmission-allowed': When the value of this element is 'no', the
Recipient of this Location Object is not permitted to share the
enclosed Location Information, or the object as a whole, with
other parties. When the value of this element is 'yes',
distributing this Location is permitted (barring an existing out-
of-band agreement or obligation to the contrary). By default, the
value MUST be assumed to be 'no'. Implementations MUST include
this field, with a value of 'no', if the Rule Maker specifies no
preference.
'retention-expires': This field specifies an absolute date at which
time the Recipient is no longer permitted to possess the location
information and its encapsulating Location Object; both may be
retained only until the time specified by this field. By default,
the value MUST be assumed to be twenty-four hours from the
'timestamp' element in the PIDF document, if present; if the
'timestamp' element is also not present, then the value MUST be
assumed to be twenty-four hours from the time at which the
Location Object is received by the Location Recipient. If the
value in the 'retention-expires' element has already passed when
the Location Recipient receives the Location Object, the Recipient
MUST discard the Location Object immediately.
'ruleset-reference': This field contains a URI that indicates where a
fuller ruleset of policies, related to this object, can be found.
This URI SHOULD use the HTTPS URI scheme; and if it does, the
server that holds these rules MUST authenticate any attempt to
access these rules. Usage rules themselves may divulge private
information about a Target or Rule Maker. The URI MAY,
alternatively, use the CID URI scheme [<a href="#ref-7" title=""Content-ID and Message-ID Uniform Resource Locators"">7</a>], in which case it MUST
denote a MIME body carried with the Location Object by the using
protocol. Rulesets carried as MIME bodies SHOULD be encrypted and
signed by the Rule Maker; unsigned rulesets SHOULD NOT be honored
by Location Servers or Location Recipients. Note that in order to
avoid network lookups that result in an authorization failure,
creators of Location Objects MAY put HTTPS-based ruleset-
references into an encrypted external MIME body referenced by a
CID; in this way, recipients of the Location Object that are
unable to decrypt the external MIME body will not learn the HTTPS
URI unless they are able to decrypt the MIME body.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4119">RFC 4119</a> GEOPRIV Location Object December 2005</span>
'note-well': This field contains a block of text containing further
generic privacy directives. These directives are intended to be
human-readable only, not to be processed by any automaton.
<span class="h4"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.2.3" href="#section-2.2.3">2.2.3</a>. 'method' Element</span>
The optional 'method' element describes the way that the location
information was derived or discovered. An example of this element
(for a geographical position system) is:
<method>gps</method>
The possible values of the 'method' element are enumerated within an
IANA registry. Implementations MUST limit the use of this method to
the values shepherded by IANA. This document pre-populates the IANA
registry with seven possible values; see <a href="#section-6.1">Section 6.1</a> for more
information.
The 'method' element is useful, for example, when multiple sources
are reporting location information for a given user, and some means
of determining location might be considered more authoritative than
others (i.e., a dynamic, real-time position system versus static
provisioning associated with a target device). However, note that
inclusion of 'method' might reveal sensitive information when the
generator is providing intentionally coarsened location information.
For example, when a LO is transmitted with 'DHCP' as the 'method',
but the location information indicates only the city in which the
generator is located, the sender has good justification to suspect
that some location information is being withheld.
<span class="h4"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.2.4" href="#section-2.2.4">2.2.4</a>. 'provided-by' Element</span>
The optional 'provided-by' element describes the entity or
organization that supplied this location information (beyond the
domain information that can be inferred from a signing certificate).
An example of this element (for a made-up game system) might be:
<provided-by>
<test:game>
West5
</test:game>
</provided-by>
Values for the 'provided-by' element MUST be IANA-registered XML
namespaces; see <a href="#section-6.2">Section 6.2</a> for more information.
<span class="grey">Peterson Standards Track [Page 9]</span></pre>
<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-10" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4119">RFC 4119</a> GEOPRIV Location Object December 2005</span>
The 'provided-by' element is not intended for use by most entities,
but rather to meet special requirements for which overhead (IANA
registration, location object size) and potential location
information leakage are acceptable choices.
In general cases, the entity that supplied location information is
communicated by the subjectAltName of the certificate with which the
location object is signed; thus, this element is unnecessary.
'Provided-by' is meaningful in particular cases when the creator of a
location object wants to designate a particular system or party
within a complex administrative domain, including situations
envisioned for providing emergency services in a diverse national
context. It might assist, for example, the recipient of a malformed
or misleading location object in identifying the particular system
that malfunctioned.
Users should be aware that this information can inadvertently provide
additional information to the receiver, increasing the effective
resolution of the geospatial or civic information, or even revealing
some location information, when it was meant to be entirely
protected. Consider if there were circumstances that influenced
Columbia University to elect to register and use the provided-by
element. If an example LO includes only state-level information,
then including the fact that the location information was provided by
Columbia University provides a strong indication that the Target is
actually located in a four-block area in Manhattan. Accordingly,
this element should be used only when organizational functions
strongly would depend on it. In all but such usages, the
subjectAltName of the certificate will suffice, and 'provided-by'
SHOULD NOT be used.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>. Carrying PIDF in a Using Protocol</span>
A PIDF document is an XML document; therefore, PIDF might be carried
in any protocol capable of carrying XML. A MIME type has also been
registered for PIDF: 'application/pidf+xml'. PIDF may therefore be
carried as a MIME body in protocols that use MIME (such as SMTP,
HTTP, or SIP) with an encapsulating set of MIME headers, including a
Content-Type of 'application/pidf+xml'.
Further specification of the behavior of using protocols (including
subscribing to or requesting presence information) is outside the
scope of this document.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-4" href="#section-4">4</a>. Securing PIDF</span>
There are a number of ways in which XML documents can be secured.
XML itself supports several ways of partially securing documents,
including element-level encryption and digital signature properties.
For the purposes of this document, only the securing of a PIDF
document as a whole, rather than element-by-element security, is
considered. None of the requirements [<a href="#ref-10" title=""Geopriv Requirements"">10</a>] suggest that only part of
the information in a location object might need to be protected while
other parts are unprotected; virtually any such configuration would
introduce potentials for privacy leakage. Consequently, the use of
MIME-level security is appropriate.

S/MIME [<a href="#ref-5" title=""Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) Version 3.1 Message Specification"">5</a>] allows security properties (including confidentiality,
integrity, and authentication properties) to be applied to the
contents of a MIME body. Therefore, all PIDF implementations that
support the XML Schema extensions for location information described
in this document MUST support S/MIME; in particular, they MUST
support the CMS [<a href="#ref-6" title=""Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)"">6</a>] EnvelopedData and SignedData content types, which
are used for encryption and digital signatures, respectively. It is
believed that this mechanism meets REQs 2.10, 13, 14.1, 14.2, 14.3,
and 14.4.
Additionally, all compliant applications MUST implement the AES
encryption algorithm for S/MIME, as specified in [<a href="#ref-8" title=""Use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Encryption Algorithm in Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)"">8</a>] (and per REQ
15.1). Of course, implementations MUST also support the baseline
encryption and digital signature algorithms described in the S/MIME
specification.
S/MIME generally entails the use of X.509 [<a href="#ref-9" title=""Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) Version 3.1 Certificate Handling"">9</a>] certificates. In order
to encrypt a request for a particular destination end-to-end (i.e.,
to a Location Recipient), the Location Generator must possess
credentials (typically an X.509 certificate) that have been issued to
the Location Recipient. Implementations of this specification SHOULD
support X.509 certificates for S/MIME, and MUST support password-
based CMS encryption (see [<a href="#ref-6" title=""Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)"">6</a>]). Any symmetric keying systems SHOULD
derive high-entropy content encoding keys (CEKs). When X.509
certificates are used to sign PIDF Location Objects, the
subjectAltName of the certificate SHOULD use the "pres" URI scheme.
One envisioned deployment model for S/MIME in PIDF documents is the
following. Location Servers hold X.509 certificates and share
secrets with Location Generators and Location Recipients. When a
Generator sends location information to a Server, it can be encrypted
with S/MIME (or any lower-layer encryption specific to the using
protocol). When a Server forwards location information to a
Recipient, location information can be encrypted with password-based
CMS encryption. This allows the use of encryption when the Location
Recipient does not possess its own X.509 certificate.
S/MIME was designed for end-to-end security between email peers that
communicate through multiple servers (i.e mail transfer agents) that
do not modify message bodies. There is, however, at least one
instance in which Location Servers modify Location Objects: when
Location Servers enforce policies on behalf of the Rule Maker. For
example, a Rule Maker may specify that Location Information should be
coarsened (made less specific) before it is transmitted to particular
recipients. If the Location Server were unable to modify a Location
Object, because it was encrypted, signed, or both, it would be unable
to accomplish this function. Consequently, when a Location Generator
wants to allow a Location Server to modify such messages, they MAY

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4119">RFC 4119</a> GEOPRIV Location Object December 2005</span>
encrypt such messages with a key that can be decrypted by the
Location Server (the digital signature, of course, can still be
created with keying material from the Location Generator's
certificate). After modifying the Location Object, the Location
Server can re-sign the Object with its own credentials (encrypting it
with any keys issued to the Location Recipient, if they are known to
the Server).
Note that policies for data collection and usage of location
information, in so far as they are carried within a location object,
are discussed in <a href="#section-2.2.2">Section 2.2.2</a>.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-5" href="#section-5">5</a>. Security Considerations</span>
The threats facing an Internet protocol that carries geolocation
information are detailed in [<a href="#ref-16" title=""Threat Analysis of the Geopriv Protocol"">16</a>]. The requirements that were
identified in that analysis of the threat model were incorporated
into [<a href="#ref-10" title=""Geopriv Requirements"">10</a>], in particular within <a href="#section-7.4">Section 7.4</a>. This document aims to
be compliant with the security requirements derived from those two
undertakings, in so far as they apply to the location object itself
(as opposed to the using protocol).
Security of the location object defined in this document, including
normative requirements for implementations, is discussed in <a href="#section-4">Section</a>
<a href="#section-4">4</a>. This security focuses on end-to-end integrity and confidentiality
properties that are applied to a location object for its lifetime via
S/MIME.
Security requirements associated with using protocols (including
authentication of subscribers to geographical information, etc.) are
outside the scope of this document.

This document requests that the IANA create a new registry for
'method' tokens associated with the PIDF-LO object. 'method' tokens
are text strings designating the manner in which location information
in a PIDF-LO object has been derived or discovered. Any party may
register new 'method' tokens with the IANA, as needed, on a first-
come-first-serve basis.
This section pre-registers 7 new 'method' tokens associated with the
