1.  Introduction

   The WebSocket (WS) protocol [RFC6455] enables two-way message
   exchange between clients and servers on top of a persistent TCP
   connection, optionally secured with Transport Layer Security (TLS)
   [RFC8446].  The initial protocol handshake makes use of Hypertext
   Transfer Protocol (HTTP) [RFC7230] semantics, allowing the WebSocket
   protocol to reuse existing HTTP infrastructure.

   The Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) is a protocol to coordinate
   access to shared resources in a conference.  It is defined in
   [RFC8855] and is used between floor participants and floor control
   servers, and between floor chairs (i.e., moderators) and floor
   control servers.

   Modern web browsers include a WebSocket client stack complying with
   the WebSocket API [WS-API] as specified by the W3C.  It is expected
   that other client applications (those running in personal computers
   and devices such as smartphones) will also make a WebSocket client
   stack available.  This document extends the applicability of
   [RFC8855] and [RFC8856] to enable the usage of BFCP in these
   scenarios.

   The transport over which BFCP entities exchange messages depends on
   how the clients obtain information to contact the floor control
   server (e.g., using a Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer/answer
   exchange per [RFC8856] or the procedure described in RFC 5018
   [RFC5018]).  [RFC8855] defines two transports for BFCP: TCP and UDP.
   This specification defines a new WebSocket subprotocol (as defined in
   Section 1.9 of [RFC6455]) for transporting BFCP messages between a
   WebSocket client and server.  This subprotocol provides a reliable
   and boundary-preserving transport for BFCP when run on top of TCP.
   Since WebSocket provides a reliable transport, the extensions defined
   in [RFC8855] for sending BFCP over unreliable transports are not
   applicable.

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

2.1.  Definitions

   BFCP WebSocket Client:  Any BFCP entity capable of opening outbound
         connections to WebSocket servers and communicating using the
         WebSocket BFCP subprotocol as defined by this document.

   BFCP WebSocket Server:  Any BFCP entity capable of listening for
         inbound connections from WebSocket clients and communicating
         using the WebSocket BFCP subprotocol as defined by this
         document.

3.  The WebSocket Protocol

   The WebSocket protocol [RFC6455] is a transport layer on top of TCP
   (optionally secured with TLS [RFC8446]) in which both client and
   server exchange message units in both directions.  The protocol
   defines a connection handshake, WebSocket subprotocol and extensions
   negotiation, a frame format for sending application and control data,
   a masking mechanism, and status codes for indicating disconnection
   causes.

   The WebSocket connection handshake is based on HTTP [RFC7230] and
   utilizes the HTTP GET method with an Upgrade header field.  This is
   sent by the client and then answered by the server (if the
   negotiation succeeded) with an HTTP 101 status code.  Once the
   handshake is completed, the connection upgrades from HTTP to the
   WebSocket protocol.  This handshake procedure is designed to reuse
   the existing HTTP infrastructure.  During the connection handshake,
   the client and server agree on the application protocol to use on top
   of the WebSocket transport.  Such an application protocol (also known
   as a "WebSocket subprotocol") defines the format and semantics of the
   messages exchanged by the endpoints.  This could be a custom protocol
   or a standardized one (as the WebSocket BFCP subprotocol defined in
   this document).  Once the HTTP 101 response is processed, both the
   client and server reuse the underlying TCP connection for sending
   WebSocket messages and control frames to each other.  Unlike plain
   HTTP, this connection is persistent and can be used for multiple
   message exchanges.

   The WebSocket protocol defines message units to be used by
   applications for the exchange of data, so it provides a message
   boundary-preserving transport layer.

4.  The WebSocket BFCP Subprotocol

   The term WebSocket subprotocol refers to an application-level
   protocol layered on top of a WebSocket connection.  This document
   specifies the WebSocket BFCP subprotocol for carrying BFCP messages
   over a WebSocket connection.

4.1.  Handshake

   The BFCP WebSocket client and BFCP WebSocket server negotiate usage
   of the WebSocket BFCP subprotocol during the WebSocket handshake
   procedure as defined in Section 1.3 of [RFC6455].  The client MUST
   include the value "bfcp" in the Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header field
   in its handshake request.  The 101 reply from the server MUST contain
   "bfcp" in its corresponding Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header field.

   Below is an example of a WebSocket handshake in which the client
   requests the WebSocket BFCP subprotocol support from the server:

     GET / HTTP/1.1
     Host: bfcp-ws.example.com
     Upgrade: websocket
     Connection: Upgrade
     Sec-WebSocket-Key: dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==
     Origin: http://www.example.com
     Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: bfcp
     Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13

   The handshake response from the server accepting the WebSocket BFCP
   subprotocol would look as follows:

     HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
     Upgrade: websocket
     Connection: Upgrade
     Sec-WebSocket-Accept: s3pPLMBiTxaQ9kYGzzhZRbK+xOo=
     Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: bfcp

   Once the negotiation has been completed, the WebSocket connection is
   established and can be used for the transport of BFCP messages.

4.2.  BFCP Encoding

   BFCP messages use a TLV (Type-Length-Value) binary encoding,
   therefore BFCP WebSocket clients and BFCP WebSocket servers MUST be
   transported in unfragmented binary WebSocket frames (FIN: 1, opcode:
   %x2) to exchange BFCP messages.  The WebSocket frame data MUST be a
   valid BFCP message, so the length of the payload of the WebSocket
   frame MUST be lower than the maximum size allowed (2^(16) +12 bytes)
   for a BFCP message as described in [RFC8855].  In addition, the
   encoding rules for reliable protocols defined in [RFC8855] MUST be
   followed.

   While this specification assumes that BFCP encoding is only TLV
   binary, future documents may define other mechanisms, like JSON
   serialization.  If encoding changes, a new subprotocol identifier
   would need to be selected.

   Each BFCP message MUST be carried within a single WebSocket message,
   and a WebSocket message MUST NOT contain more than one BFCP message.

5.  Transport Reliability

   The WebSocket protocol [RFC6455] provides a reliable transport, and
   therefore the BFCP WebSocket subprotocol defined by this document
   also provides reliable BFCP transport.  Thus, client and server
   transactions using the WebSocket protocol for transport MUST follow
   the procedures for reliable transports as defined in [RFC8855] and
   [RFC8856].

   BFCP WebSocket clients cannot receive incoming WebSocket connections
   initiated by any other peer.  This means that a BFCP WebSocket client
   MUST actively initiate a connection towards a BFCP WebSocket server.
   The BFCP server will have a globally routable address and thus does
   not require ICE, as clients always initiate connections to it.

6.  SDP Considerations

6.1.  Transport Negotiation

   Rules to generate an "m=" line for a BFCP stream are described in
   [RFC8856], Section 4.

   New values are defined for the SDP "proto" field: 'TCP/WS/BFCP' and
   'TCP/WSS/BFCP'.

      'TCP/WS/BFCP' is used when BFCP runs on top of WS, which in turn
      runs on top of TCP.

      'TCP/WSS/BFCP' is used when BFCP runs on top of secure WebSocket
      (WSS), which in turn runs on top of TLS and TCP.

   The "port" field is set following the rules in Section 4 and
   Section 7.1 of [RFC8856].  Depending on the value of the SDP 'setup'
   attribute defined in [RFC4145], the "port" field contains the port to
   which the remote endpoint will direct BFCP messages, or it is
   irrelevant (i.e., the endpoint will initiate the connection towards
   the remote endpoint) and should be set to a value of '9', which is
   the discard port.  The 'connection' attribute and port MUST follow
   the rules of [RFC4145].

   While this document recommends the use of secure WebSocket (i.e.,
   TCP/WSS) for security reasons, TCP/WS is also permitted so as to
   achieve maximum compatibility among clients.

6.2.  SDP Media Attributes

   [RFC8124] defines a new SDP attribute to indicate the connection
   Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the WebSocket client.  The SDP
   attribute 'websocket-uri' defined in Section 3 of [RFC8124] MUST be
   used when BFCP runs on top of WS or WSS.  When the 'websocket-uri'
   attribute is present in the media section of the SDP, the procedures
   mentioned in Section 4 of [RFC8124] MUST be followed.

7.  SDP Offer/Answer Procedures

7.1.  General

   An endpoint (i.e., both the offerer and the answerer) MUST create an
   SDP media description ("m=" line) for each BFCP-over-WebSocket media
   stream and MUST assign either a 'TCP/WSS/BFCP' or 'TCP/WS/BFCP' value
   to the "proto" field of the "m=" line depending on whether the
   endpoint wishes to use secure WebSocket or WebSocket.  Furthermore,
   the server side, which could be either the offerer or answerer, MUST
   add a 'websocket-uri' attribute in the media section depending on
   whether it wishes to use WebSocket or secure WebSocket.  This new
   attribute MUST follow the syntax defined in [RFC8124].  Additionally,
   the SDP offer/answer procedures defined in Section 4 of [RFC8124]
   MUST be followed for the "m=" line associated with a BFCP-over-
   WebSocket media stream.

7.2.  Example Usage of 'websocket-uri' SDP Attribute

   The following is an example of an "m=" line for a BFCP connection.
   In this example, the offerer sends the SDP with the "proto" field
   having a value of 'TCP/WSS/BFCP', indicating that the offerer wishes
   to use secure WebSocket as a transport for the media stream, and the
   "fmt" field having a value of '*' (for details on the "fmt" field,
   see Section 4 of [RFC8856]).

   Offer (browser):
   m=application 9 TCP/WSS/BFCP *
   a=setup:active
   a=connection:new
   a=floorctrl:c-only
   m=audio 55000 RTP/AVP 0
   m=video 55002 RTP/AVP 31

   Answer (server):
   m=application 50000 TCP/WSS/BFCP *
   a=setup:passive
   a=connection:new
   a=websocket-uri:wss://bfcp-ws.example.com?token=3170449312
   a=floorctrl:s-only
   a=confid:4321
   a=userid:1234
   a=floorid:1 m-stream:10
   a=floorid:2 m-stream:11
   m=audio 50002 RTP/AVP 0
   a=label:10
   m=video 50004 RTP/AVP 31
   a=label:11

   It is possible that an endpoint (e.g., a browser) sends an offerless
   INVITE to the server.  In such cases, the server will act as SDP
   offerer.  The server MUST assign the SDP 'setup' attribute with a
   value of 'passive'.  The server MUST have a 'websocket-uri' attribute
   with a 'ws-URI' or 'wss-URI' value depending on whether the server
   wishes to use WebSocket or secure WebSocket.  This attribute MUST
   follow the syntax defined in Section 3 of [RFC8124].  For BFCP
   application, the "proto" value in the "m=" line MUST be 'TCP/WSS/
   BFCP' if WebSocket is over TLS, else it MUST be 'TCP/WS/BFCP'.

8.  Authentication

   Section 9 of [RFC8855] states that BFCP clients and floor control
   servers SHOULD authenticate each other prior to accepting messages,
   and RECOMMENDS that mutual TLS/DTLS authentication be used.  However,
   browser-based WebSocket clients have no control over the use of TLS
   in the WebSocket API [WS-API], so it is RECOMMENDED that standard
   web-based methods for client and server authentication are used, as
   follows.

   When a BFCP WebSocket client connects to a BFCP WebSocket server, it
   SHOULD use TCP/WSS as its transport.  If the signaling or control
   protocol traffic used to set up the conference is authenticated and
   confidentiality and integrity protected, secure WebSocket (WSS) MUST
   be used, and the floor control server MUST authenticate the client.
   The WebSocket client MUST follow the procedures in [RFC7525] while
   setting up TLS connection with the WebSocket server.  The BFCP client
   validates the server by means of verifying the server certificate.
   This means the 'websocket-uri' value MUST contain a hostname.  The
   verification process does not use "a=fingerprint".

   A floor control server that receives a message over TCP/WS can
   mandate the use of TCP/WSS by generating an Error message, as
   described in Section 13.8 of [RFC8855], with an error code with a
   value of 9 (Use TLS).

   Prior to sending BFCP requests, a BFCP WebSocket client connects to a
   BFCP WebSocket server and performs the connection handshake.  As
   described in Section 4.1, the handshake procedure involves an HTTP
   GET method request from the client and a response from the server
   including an HTTP 101 status code.

   In order to authorize the WebSocket connection, the BFCP WebSocket
   server SHOULD inspect any cookie header fields [RFC6265] present in
   the HTTP GET request.  For many web applications, the value of such a
   cookie is provided by the web server once the user has authenticated
   themselves to the web server, which could be done by many existing
   mechanisms.  As an alternative method, the BFCP WebSocket server
   could request HTTP authentication by replying to the client's GET
   method request with an HTTP 401 status code.  The WebSocket protocol
   [RFC6455] covers this usage in Section 4.1:

      If the status code received from the server is not 101, the
      WebSocket client stack handles the response per HTTP [RFC7230]
      procedures; in particular, the client might perform authentication
      if it receives an 401 status code.  The WebSocket clients are
      vulnerable to the attacks of basic authentication (mentioned in
      Section 4 of [RFC7617]) and digest authentication (mentioned in
      Section 5 of [RFC7616]).  To overcome some of these weaknesses,
      WebSocket clients can use the HTTP Origin-Bound Authentication
      (HOBA) mechanism mentioned in [RFC7486], for example.

9.  Security Considerations

   Considerations from [RFC8855], [RFC8856], and [RFC5018] apply.

   BFCP relies on lower-layer security mechanisms to provide replay and
   integrity protection and confidentiality.  It is RECOMMENDED that the
   BFCP traffic transported over WebSocket be protected by using a
   Secure WebSocket connection (using TLS [RFC8446] over TCP).  The
   security considerations in [RFC6455] apply for BFCP over WebSocket as
   well.  The security model here is a typical webserver-client model
   where the client validates the server certificate and then connects
   to the server.  Section 8 describes the authentication procedures
   between client and server.

   When using BFCP over WebSocket, the security mechanisms defined in
   [RFC8855] are not used.  Instead, the application is required to
   build and rely on the security mechanisms in [RFC6455].

   The rest of this section analyses the threats described in Section 14
   of [RFC8855] when WebSocket is used as a transport protocol for BFCP.

   An attacker attempting to impersonate a floor control server is
   avoided by having servers accept BFCP messages over WSS only.  As
   with any other web connection, the clients will verify the server's
   certificate.  The BFCP WebSocket client MUST follow the procedures in
   [RFC7525] (including hostname verification as per Section 6.1 of
   [RFC7525]) while setting up a TLS connection with floor control
   WebSocket server.

   An attacker attempting to impersonate a floor control client is
   avoided by having servers accept BFCP messages over WSS only.  As
   described in Section 10.5 of [RFC6455] the floor control server can
   use any client authentication mechanism and follow the steps in
   Section 8 of this document.

   Attackers may attempt to modify messages exchanged by a client and a
   floor control server.  This can be prevented by having WSS between
   client and server.

   An attacker trying to replay the messages is prevented by having
   floor control servers check that messages arriving over a given WSS
   connection use an authorized user ID.

   Attackers may eavesdrop on the network to get access to confidential
   information between the floor control server and a client (e.g., why
   a floor request was denied).  In order to ensure that BFCP users are
   getting the level of protection that they would get using BFCP
   directly, applications need to have a way to control the WebSocket
   libraries to use encryption algorithms specified in Section 7 of
   [RFC8855].  Since the WebSocket API [WS-API] does not have a way to
   allow an application to select the encryption algorithm to be used,
   the protection level provided when WSS is used is limited to the
   underlying TLS algorithm used by the WebSocket library.

10.  IANA Considerations

10.1.  Registration of the WebSocket BFCP Subprotocol

   IANA has registered the WebSocket BFCP subprotocol under the
   "WebSocket Subprotocol Name Registry" as follows:

   Subprotocol Identifier:  bfcp

   Subprotocol Common Name:  WebSocket Transport for BFCP (Binary Floor
      Control Protocol)

   Subprotocol Definition:  RFC 8857

10.2.  Registration of the 'TCP/WS/BFCP' and 'TCP/WSS/BFCP' SDP "proto"
       Values

   This document defines two new values for the SDP "proto" subregistry
   within the "Session Description Protocol (SDP) Parameters" registry.
   The resulting entries are shown in Table 1:

                       +==============+===========+
                       | Value        | Reference |
