[SAH] This update addresses most of the feedback received during the recent WG 
last call. There are still a few open issues for which I'm hoping to see WG 
discussion:
Thank you Scott.
1. How do we address web service clients?

[PK] I think the elements we need for web service clients were already elaborated in the discussion over the version 17.
I'm happy to support with text proposal if needed.


One additional point that appeared in the side discussion is whether such client shall be able to request additional claims from the OP. Currently the specification only allows RDAP server to request claims which leaves the web client without such possibility, which in turn may end up in a broken experience. The proposal here is to add a "scope" query parameter to the /login path which RDAP server may use to request additional claims from the OP on behalf of the client.


2. Are there any security concerns associated with return of the "userID", "iss", and 
"userClaims" members of the "farv1_session" data structure?

[PK] The specification does not foresee any (even optional) authentication of the client application. In this sense each client has to be treated as a public client. There is a risk of malicious client obtaining access to those PII data because all the user sees in the consent step is RDAP requesting data to the OP. Device flow is in this sense more vulnerable to phishing attacks to obtain PII and also access to RDAP data as such. A countermeasure could be the RDAP server offering an own consent/confirmation screen displaying some identifiable information about the client requesting access.

3. Anything else I might have inadvertently missed.

[PK] "userClaim" is marked OPTIONAL in 4.1.1 whereas the following chapters indicate it is mandatory most of the times:

4.2.3.  Login Response
4.4.  Session Status
4.5.  Session Refresh

I suggested to change:
...response MUST include a "farv1_session" data structure that includes a "userClaims" object and a "sessionInfo" object.

to

..response MUST include a "farv1_session" data structure that includes a "sessionInfo" object and an optional "userClaims" object.


Kind Regards,

Pawel
