1 Introduction
This binding document provides the transport specific information
necessary convey iCalendar Transport-independent Interoperability
Protocol (iTIP) over MIME as defined in [RFC-822] and [RFC-2045].
Implementers will need to be familiar with several other memos that,
along with this memo, form a framework for Internet calendaring and
scheduling standards.
This document, [iMIP], specifies an Internet email binding for iTIP.
[iCAL] - specifies a core specification of objects, data types,
properties and property parameters;
Dawson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2447 iMIP November 1998
[iTIP] - specifies an interoperability protocol for scheduling
between different implementations;
This memo does not attempt to repeat the specification of concepts or
definitions from these other memos. Where possible, references are
made to the memo that provides for the specification of these
concepts or definitions.
The mechanisms defined in this memo are defined in prose. In order to
refer to elements of the calendaring and scheduling model, core
object or interoperability protocol defined in [iCAL] and [iTIP] some
formatting conventions have been used.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY" and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC-2119].
Calendaring and scheduling roles are referred to in quoted-strings of
text with the first character of each word in upper case. For
example, "Organizer" refers to a role of a "Calendar User" within the
scheduling protocol defined by [iTIP].
Calendar components defined by [iCAL] are referred to with
capitalized, quoted-strings of text. All calendar components start
with the letter "V". For example, "VEVENT" refers to the event
calendar component, "VTODO" refers to the to-do calendar component
and "VJOURNAL" refers to the daily journal calendar component.
Scheduling methods defined by [iTIP] are referred to with
capitalized, quoted-strings of text. For example, "REQUEST" refers to
the method for requesting a scheduling calendar component be created
or modified, "REPLY" refers to the method a recipient of a request
uses to update their status with the "Organizer" of the calendar
component.
Properties defined by [iCAL] are referred to with capitalized,
quoted-strings of text, followed by the word "property". For example,
"ATTENDEE" property refers to the iCalendar property used to convey
the calendar address of a calendar user.
Property parameters defined by [iCAL] are referred to with lower
case, quoted-strings of text, followed by the word "parameter". For
example, "value" parameter refers to the iCalendar property parameter
used to override the default data type for a property value.
Dawson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 2447 iMIP November 1998
The email terms used in this memo are defined in [RFC-822] and [RFC-
2045]. The calendaring and scheduling terms used in this memo are
defined in [iCAL] and [iTIP].
2 MIME Message Format Binding
This section defines the message binding to the MIME electronic mail
transport.
The sections below refer to the "originator" and the "respondent" of
an iMIP message. Typically, the originator is the "Organizer" of an
event. The respondent is an "Attendee" of the event.
The [RFC-822] "Reply-To" header typically contains the email address
of the originator or respondent of an event. However, this cannot be
guaranteed as Mail User Agents (MUA) are not required to enforce iMIP
semantics.
A MIME entity containing content information formatted according to
this document will be referenced as a "text/calendar" content type.
It is assumed that this content type will be transported through a
MIME electronic mail transport.
This section addresses several aspects of security including
Authentication, Authorization and Confidentiality. Authentication and
confidentiality can be achieved using [RFC-1847] that specifies the
Security Multiparts for MIME. This framework defines new content
types and subtypes of multipart: signed and encrypted. Each contains
two body parts: one for the protected data and another for the
control information necessary to remove the protection.
In [iTIP] messages, only the "Organizer" is authorized to modify or
cancel calendar entries they organize. That is, spoof@xyz.com is not
allowed to modify or cancel a meeting that was organized by
a@example.com. Furthermore, only the respondent has the authorization
to indicate their status to the "Organizer". That is, the "Organizer"
must ignore an [iTIP] message from spoof@xyz.com that declines a
meeting invitation for b@example.com.
Dawson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 2447 iMIP November 1998
Implementations of iMIP SHOULD verify the authenticity of the creator
of an iCalendar object before taking any action. The methods for
doing this are presented later in this document.
[RFC-1847] Message flow in iTIP supports someone working on behalf of
a "Calendar User" through use of the "sent-by" parameter that is
associated with the "ATTENDEE" and "ORGANIZER" properties. However,
there is no mechanism to verify whether or not a "Calendar User" has
authorized someone to work on their behalf. It is left to
implementations to provide mechanisms for the "Calendar Users" to
make that decision.
Authentication can be performed using an implementation of [RFC-1847]
"multipart/signed" that supports public/private key certificates.
Authentication is possible only on messages that have been signed.
Authenticating an unsigned message may not be reliable.
To ensure confidentiality using iMIP implementations should utilize
[RFC-1847]-compliant encryption. The protocol does not restrict a
"Calendar User Agent" (CUA) from forwarding iCalendar objects to
other users or agents.
The calendar address specified within the "ATTENDEE" property in an
iCalendar object MUST be a fully qualified, [RFC-822] address
specification for the corresponding "Organizer" or "Attendee" of the
"VEVENT" or "VTODO".
Because [iTIP] does not preclude "Attendees" from forwarding
"VEVENTS" or "VTODOS" to others, the [RFC-822] "Sender" value may not
equal that of the "Organizer". Additionally, the "Organizer" or
"Attendee" cannot be reliably inferred by the [RFC-822] "Sender" or
"Reply-to" values of an iMIP message. The relevant address MUST be
ascertained by opening the "text/calendar" MIME body part and
examining the "ATTENDEE" and "ORGANIZER" properties.
A MIME body part containing content information that conforms to this
document MUST have an [RFC-2045] "Content-Type" value of
"text/calendar". The [RFC-2045] "Content-Type" header field must also
include the type parameter "method". The value MUST be the same as
the value of the "METHOD" calendar property within the iCalendar
Dawson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 2447 iMIP November 1998
object. This means that a MIME message containing multiple iCalendar
objects with different method values must be further encapsulated
with a "multipart/mixed" MIME entity. This will allow each of the
iCalendar objects to be encapsulated within their own "text/calendar"
MIME entity.
A "charset" parameter MUST be present if the iCalendar object
contains characters that are not part of the US-ASCII character set.
[RFC-2046] discusses the selection of an appropriate "charset" value.
The optional "component" parameter defines the iCalendar component
type contained within the iCalendar object.
The following is an example of this header field with a value that
indicates an event message.
Content-Type:text/calendar; method=request; charset=UTF-8;
component=vevent
The "text/calendar" content type allows for the scheduling message
type to be included in a MIME message with other content information
(i.e., "multipart/mixed") or included in a MIME message with a
clear-text, human-readable form of the scheduling message (i.e.,
"multipart/alternative").
In order to permit the information in the scheduling message to be
understood by MIME user agents (UA) that do not support the
"text/calendar" content type, scheduling messages SHOULD be sent with
an alternative, human-readable form of the information.
Note that the default character set for iCalendar objects is UTF-8. A
transfer encoding SHOULD be used for iCalendar objects containing any
characters that are not part of the US-ASCII character set.
The handling of a MIME part should be based on its [RFC-2045]
"Content-Type". However, this is not guaranteed to work in all
environments. Some environments handle MIME attachments based on
their file type or extension. To operate correctly in these
environments, implementations may wish to include a "Content-
Disposition" property to define a file name.
Dawson, et. al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 2447 iMIP November 1998
3 Security Considerations
The security threats that applications must address when implementing
iTIP are detailed in [iTIP]. Two spoofing threats are identified:
Spoofing the "Organizer", and Spoofing an "Attendee". To address
these threats, the originator of an iCalendar object must be
authenticated by a recipient. Once authenticated, a determination can
be made as to whether or not the originator is authorized to perform
the requested operation. Compliant applications MUST support signing
and encrypting text/calendar attachments using a mechanism based on
Security Multiparts for MIME [RFC-1847] to facilitate the
authentication the originator of the iCalendar object.
Implementations MAY provide a means for users to disable signing and
encrypting. The steps are described below:
1. The iCalendar object MUST be signed by the "Organizer" sending an
update or the "Attendee" sending a reply.
2. Using the [RFC-1847]-compliant security mechanism, determine who
signed the iCalendar object. This is the "signer". Note that the
signer is not necessarily the person sending an e-mail message since
an e-mail message can be forwarded.
3. Correlate the signer to an "ATTENDEE" property in the iCalendar
object. If the signer cannot be correlated to an "ATTENDEE" property,
ignore the message.
4. Determine whether or not the "ATTENDEE" is authorized to perform
the operation as defined by [iTIP]. If the conditions are not met,
ignore the message.
5. If all the above conditions are met, the message can be processed.
To address the confidentiality security threats, signed iMIP messages
SHOULD be encrypted by a mechanism based on Security Multiparts for
MIME [RFC-1847].
It is possible to receive iMIP messages sent by someone working on
behalf of another "Calendar User". This is determined by examining
the "sent-by" parameter in the relevant "ORGANIZER" or "ATTENDEE"
property. [iCAL] and [iTIP] provide no mechanism to verify that a
"Calendar User" has authorized someone else to work on their behalf.
To address this security issue, implementations MUST provide
mechanisms for the "Calendar Users" to make that decision before
applying changes from someone working on behalf of a "Calendar User".

4 Examples
This example shows how a client can emit a multipart message that
includes both a plain text version as well as the full iCalendar
object. Clients that do not support text/calendar will still be
capable of rendering the plain text representation.

5 Recommended Practices
This section outlines a series of recommended practices when using a
messaging transport to exchange iCalendar objects.
The [iCAL] specification makes frequent use of the URI for data types
in properties such as "DESCRIPTION", "ATTACH", "CONTACT" and others.
Two forms of URIs are Message ID (MID) and Content ID (CID). These
are defined in [RFC-2111]. Although [RFC-2111] allows referencing
messages or MIME body parts in other MIME entities or stores, it is
strongly recommended that iMIP implementations include all referenced
messages and body parts in a single MIME entity. Simply put, if an
iCalendar object contains CID or MID references to other messages or
body parts, implementations should ensure that these messages and/or
body parts are transmitted with the iCalendar object. If they are not
there is no guarantee that the receiving "CU" will have the access or
the authorization to view those objects.
