This document discusses the MODRNA working group and its work to develop specifications to support GSMA Mobile Connect. It aims to enable mobile network operators to become identity providers using a profile and extension of OpenID Connect. Key points include: - MODRNA is developing specifications for discovery, client registration, authentication, and auxiliary functions like backchannel authentication to support identity services provided by mobile network operators. - Mobile Connect allows using a mobile phone number as an identifier and the phone as an authenticator, replacing passwords. - MODRNA and GSMA are collaborating to align Mobile Connect with MODRNA specifications to enhance modularity and support new use cases. - Specifications are in active progress to address issues and

MODRNA WG The interface of MODRNA (Mobile Profile of OpenID Connect) and GSMA Mobile Connect May 15, 2018 Bjorn Hjelm Verizon John Bradley Yubico http://openid.net/wg/mobile/
Purpose • Support GSMA technical development of Mobile Connect • Enable Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to become Identity Providers • Developing (1) a profile of and (2) an extension to OpenID Connect for use by MNOs providing identity services.
Participants
What is Mobile Connect? • Mobile phone number as user identifier • Mobile phone as authenticator • MNO as authentication/identity provider • Replace passwords and hardware security tokens
Example Use Case
Towards Mobile Connect Services Enabler Model • The aim of the Service Enabler model is to enhance the modularity of the Mobile Connect framework by defining it as a set of Service Enablers that can be used (and re-used) for supporting Global Products as well as Local Products devised by MNOs to meet their local market needs. – In R2, each Product was defined and specified individually. – In R3. with the Service Enabler model, each of these Products can be implemented using a common service enabler.
Mobile Connect Reference Architecture 2. The service provider requests the authenticating operator from the API Exchange. 3. The service provider makes a request for authentication. 4. The operator selects the appropriate authenticator depending on the request for assurance and capabilities 1. The user clicks on a Mobile Connect button to access a service. • SIM Applet • USSD • SMS • Smartphone App • FIDO MNO Service access request Authentication Service Provider Authentication request Authentication server Identity Gateway MNO Discovery

MODRNA Specifications • Discovery – http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-modrna-authentication-1_0.html – Dedicated discovery service – Account Chooser integration • Client Registration – http://openid.net/wordpress-content/uploads/2014/04/draft-mobile-registration-01.html – OIDC Dynamic Client Registration with software statements (RFC 7591) – Mandatory claims in the statements – Signature algorithms – Lifecycle management, e.g. revocation of statements/blocking of RPs • Authentication – http://openid.net/wordpress-content/uploads/2014/04/draft-mobile-discovery-01.html – ACR values – Additional parameters
Auxiliary MODRNA Work • Client Initiated Backchannel Authentication – http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-modrna-client-initiated-backchannel-authentication- 1_0.html – Mechanism to perform authentication (out-of-band) when there is no user agent available and the authentication process needs to initiated via server-to-server communication • User Questioning API – http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-user-questioning-api-1_0.html – Mechanism to perform transaction authorizations. Define additional OpenID Connect endpoint (Resource Server) that RP would use (server-to-server) to initiate transaction authorization processes • Account Porting – http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-account-porting-1_0.html – Mechanism to allow the migration of user account from old to new OP – Protocol allowing new OP to obtain the necessary user data from the old OP and provide every RP with the necessary data to migrate the RP's local user account data in a secure way
MODRNA WG Status • Active progress to close all open issues for the four specifications approved as Implementer’s Draft (May 2017). – MODRNA Authentication Profile – Account Porting – User Questioning API – Client Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA) • Collaboration with Financial API (FAPI) WG on use cases, Mobile Connect, Backchannel Authentication, and Dynamic Client Registration. • Still planning on collaboration with International Government Assurance (iGov) WG on Attribute Exchange using NIST IR 8112 Attribute Metadata as guideline.
MODRNA - GSMA CPAS Status • Mobile Connect enhanced to support back-channel authentication based on MODRNA WG work on CIBA specification. – Mobile Connect already adopted OpenID Connect Account Porting specification and aligning with MODRNA Authentication Profile. • User Questioning API being adopted by Mobile Connect based on product definition proposed by Orange. • Active work on aligning priorities and roadmap between both organizations and following the Governance Process for how Mobile Connect will reference and adopt MODRNA specifications. – Process outlines how Mobile Connect specifications handle Implementer’s Draft and Published specifications. – Next joint MODRNA – GSMA CPAS technical workshop possibly 2H 2018 based on Mobile Connect roadmap. • GSMA interested in adopting output from FAPI WG to support financial sector.
