Charter

GEOPRIV working group

The charter of the GEOPRIV working group is reported below.
As more and more resources become available on the Internet, some applications need to acquire geographic location information about certain resources or entities. These applications include navigation, emergency services, management of equipment in the field, and other location-based services.

But while the formatting and transfer of such information is in some sense a straightforward process, the implications of doing it, especially in regards to privacy and security, are anything but.

The primary task of the Geographic Location/Privacy (GEOPRIV) working group will be to assess the the authorization, integrity and privacy requirements that must be met in order to transfer such information, or authorize the release or representation of such information through an agent.

In addition, the working group will select an already standardized format to recommend for use in representing location per se. A key task will be to enhance this format and protocol approaches using the enhanced format, to ensure that the security and privacy methods are available to diverse location-aware applications. Approaches to be considered will include (among others) data formats incorporating fields directing the privacy handling of the location information and possible methods of specifying variable precision of location.

Also to be considered will be: authorization of requestors and responders; authorization of proxies (for instance, the ability to authorize a carrier to reveal what timezone one is in, but not what city. An approach to the taxonomy of requestors, as well as to the resolution or precision of information given them, will be part of this deliverable.

The combination of these elements should provide a service capable of transferring geographic location information in a private and secure fashion (including the option of denying transfer).

For reasons of both future interoperability and assurance of the security and privacy goals, it is a goal of the working group to deliver a specification that has broad applicablity and will become mandatory to implement for IETF protocols that are location-aware.

HTTP Enabled Location Delivery (HELD)
A Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol (L7 LCP) is described that is used for retrieving location information from a server within an access network. The protocol includes options for retrieving location information in two forms: by value and by reference. The protocol is an extensible application-layer protocol that is independent of session-layer. This document describes the use of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) as a transport for the protocol.

GEOPRIV PIDF-LO Usage Clarification, Considerations and Recommendations
The Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO) specification provides a flexible and versatile means to represent location information. There are, however, circumstances that arise when information needs to be constrained in how it is represented. In these circumstances the range of options that need to be implemented are reduced. There is growing interest in being able to use location information contained in a PIDF-LO for routing applications. To allow successful interoperability between applications, location information needs to be normative and more tightly constrained than is currently specified in the RFC 4119 (PIDF-LO). This document makes recommendations on how to constrain, represent and interpret locations in a PIDF-LO. It further recommends a subset of GML that is mandatory to implement by applications involved in location based routing.

Geolocation Policy: A Document Format for Expressing Privacy Preferences for Location Information
This document defines an authorization policy language for controlling access to location information. It extends the Common Policy authorization framework to provide location-specific access control. More specifically, this document defines condition elements specific to location information in order to restrict access based on the current location of the Target. Furthermore, it offers location- specific transformation elements to reduce the granularity of the returned location information.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Option for a Location Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
This document creates a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Option for the Location Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of an endpoint. For example, an endpoint can be a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) User Agent (i.e., a phone). This Location-URI can be included in a UA's signaling messages to inform other nodes of that entity's geographic location, once the URI is dereferenced by a Location Recipient.

GEOPRIV Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol; Problem Statement and Requirements
This document provides a problem statement, lists requirements and captures design aspects for a Geopriv Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol L7 (LCP). This protocol aims to allow an end host to obtain location information, by value or by reference, from a Location Information Server (LIS) that is located in the access network. The obtained location information can then be used for a variety of different protocols and purposes. For example, it can be used as input to the Location-to-Service Translation Protocol (LoST) or to convey location within SIP to other entities.

Security Requirements for the Geopriv Location System
Internet protocols that deal with presence-based location objects support a wide variety of applications. However, the dissemination of location objects from sources of location to consumers is a common feature of all location-based applications. In order to enable the development of broadly-applicable security and privacy mechanisms for dissemination of location objects, this document describes an end-to-end architecture for policy-constrained location distribution. In this architecture, location distribution is accomplished by a set of distributed actors. We describe the assurances that these actors require from the architecture, and derive more a more detailed description of the security features required to provide those assurances.

A Location Dereference Event Package using SIP
This document describes a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) event package to dereference raw location data about named SIP resources (as opposed to presence data with embedded filtered location) as a GEOPRIV Using Protocol. The resulting location information is conveyed in existing location formats wrapped in GEOPRIV privacy extensions to the Presence Information Document Format (PIDF-LO). In the envisioned usage, location disclosure is limited to voluntary disclosure to the target of its own location or to a trusted service (such as a presence server) which enforces the target's privacy rules on the target's behalf.

A method is described by which a Device is able to provide location-related measurement data to a LIS within a HELD request. Location-related measurement information are observations concerning properties related to the position of a Device, which could be data about network attachment or about the physical environment around the LIS. When a LIS generates location information for a device, information from the device can improve the accuracy of the location estimate. A basic set of location-related measurements are defined, including common modes of network attachment as well as assisted Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) parameters.

It is a GEOPRIV using protocol as described in Section 5.2 or RFC 3693 to resolve an identifier, which denotes a reference, to a PIDF-LO.

HELD Identity Extensions
When a Location Information Server receives a request for location information (using the locationRequest message), described in the base HTTP Enabled Location Delivery (HELD) specification, it uses the source IP address of arriving message as a pointer to the location determination process. This is appropriate in many environments. However, when an entity acting on behalf of the Target would like to request location information then the source IP address of the request will lead to wrong results. In other cases the IP address is not the only identifier that serves as an input to the location determination procedure.

This document extends the HELD protocol to allow the location request message to carry additional identifiers assisting the location determination process. It defines a set of URIs for Target identifiers and an XML containment schema. As such, this extension is used in conjunction with HELD to provide Target identification. Examples and usage in HELD message syntax are provided.
