      <t>The JMAP capabilities object is returned as part of the standard JMAP session object (see Section 2 of <xref section="2" sectionFormat="of" target="RFC8620"/>). Servers supporting this specification MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> add a property called "urn:ietf:params:jmap:webpush-vapid" to the capabilities object. The value of this property is an object that MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> contain the following information:</t>

<t><list style="symbols">

      <ul spacing="normal">
        <li>
          <t>applicationServerKey: "String"  <vspace blankLines='1'/>
The ECDSA "String"</t>
          <t>The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) public key that the push service will use to
          authenticate the application server, in its uncompressed form (as
          described in <xref target="X9.62"/> Annex A) A of <xref target="X9.62"/>) and encoded using
          base64url encoding <xref target="RFC7515"/>. Current systems use the
          P-256 curve <xref target="FIPS186"/>.</t>
</list></t>
        </li>
      </ul>

      <t>Informative Note: The format of the application server key was chosen to ensure compatibility with the browser API (<xref target="PUSH-API"/>, Section 7.2), (Section 7.2 of <xref target="PUSH-API"/>), allowing the key to be directly copied and used without additional transformation. Additionally, as noted in <xref section="3.2" sectionFormat="of" target="RFC8292"/>, Section 3.2, the X9.62 encoding simplifies key comparisons and is more compact than alternative formats.</t>

      <t>Every time the server sends a push message to a PushSubscription URL URL, it MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> authenticate the POST request using the protocol outlined in <xref target="RFC8292"/>. This includes both StateChange events and PushVerification notifications. To authenticate the request, the server MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> use a JWT JSON Web Token (JWT) signed by the private key corresponding to the application server key. This application server key MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be the one that was advertised in the capabilities object at the time the PushSubscription was created.</t>

      <name>Key Rotation</name>
      <t>When a server needs to replace its VAPID key, it MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> update the sessionState per <xref target="RFC8620"/>. The client MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> monitor the JMAP session object for changes to the VAPID key and MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> recreate its push subscription when it detects such a change.</t>
      <t>After key rotation, the server MAY <bcp14>MAY</bcp14> continue to send push notifications for existing push subscriptions using the old application server key for a transitional period. This allows clients time to recreate their respective push subscriptions. At the end of the transitional period (or immediately for implementations that do not have one), the server MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> destroy push subscriptions that use the old key.</t>
      <t>When destroying push subscriptions that include the data type <spanx style="verb">PushSubscription</spanx>, <tt>PushSubscription</tt>, the server MAY <bcp14>MAY</bcp14> issue one final StateChange push notification using the old URL and application server key to notify the client of changes to the PushSubscription data type. This prompts the client to make a <spanx style="verb">PushSubscription/changes</spanx> <tt>PushSubscription/changes</tt> method call. The response to this call will contain an updated sessionState, which refers to a session object that contains the new VAPID key.</t>

<!-- [rfced] FYI - We updated these sentences as follows (pointed to Section
4.2 of [RFC8292] in both and updated phrasing relating to the status code
to be consistent). Let us know any concerns.

Original:
   Consequently, the push
   service will reject the PushVerification with a 403 (Forbidden)
   status code, as specified in [RFC8292].
   ...
   This mismatch leads to the push service rejecting the
   PushVerification request with HTTP status code 403, as specified in
   [RFC8292], Section 4.2.

Updated:
   Consequently, the push
   service will reject the PushVerification with a 403 (Forbidden)
   status code, as specified in Section 4.2 of [RFC8292].
   ...
   This mismatch leads to the push service rejecting the
   PushVerification request with a 403 (Forbidden) status code, as specified in
   Section 4.2 of [RFC8292].
-->

      <t>A race condition can occur when the server updates its VAPID key after the client has refreshed the session object but before calling the PushSubscription/set method. This situation causes the server to send a PushVerification object to a push resource URL that is now associated with an outdated VAPID key. Consequently, the push service will reject the PushVerification with a 403 (Forbidden) status code, as specified in <xref section="4.2" sectionFormat="of" target="RFC8292"/>.</t>
      <t>To alleviate this problem, the client MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> check if the sessionState in the response from the PushSubscription/set method points to a session object with an applicationServerKey that matches their expectations. If there is a mismatch, the client MAY <bcp14>MAY</bcp14> retry creating the PushSubscription. Additionally, the client MAY <bcp14>MAY</bcp14> destroy the PushSubscription from the earlier, failed attempt.</t>

      <name>Security Considerations</name>
      <t>During the key rotation process, synchronization issues between the client and server may arise. Specifically, a client might restrict a push subscription with the push service to an outdated key, while the server sends the PushVerification object authenticated with the newly rotated key. This mismatch leads to the push service rejecting the PushVerification request with HTTP a 403 (Forbidden) status code 403, code, as specified in <xref target="RFC8292"/>, Section 4.2.</t> section="4.2" sectionFormat="of" target="RFC8292"/>.</t>
      <t>Per the requirements of <xref section="7.2" sectionFormat="of" target="RFC8620"/>, Section 7.2, the server MUST NOT <bcp14>MUST NOT</bcp14> retry the rejected PushVerification request. Consequently, the PushVerification object will not be delivered to the client.</t>
      <t>To mitigate such issues, the client is responsible for detecting and resolving any synchronization discrepancies, as outlined in the 'Key Rotation' section <xref target="key-rotation"/> of this document.</t>
      <t>The inclusion of the <spanx style="verb">urn:ietf:params:jmap:webpush-vapid</spanx> <tt>urn:ietf:params:jmap:webpush-vapid</tt> property in the JMAP capabilities object is limited to providing information about the server's support for Voluntary Application Server Identification (VAPID). VAPID. This property does not reveal sensitive information, nor does it introduce new security or privacy risks beyond those inherent to JMAP and WebPush. The security considerations for JMAP (<xref target="RFC8620"/>, especially Section 8.6 <xref target="RFC8620"/> (especially Sections <xref section="8.6" sectionFormat="bare" target="RFC8620"/> and Section 8.7 of that document), <xref section="8.7" sectionFormat="bare" target="RFC8620"/>), WebPush (<xref target="RFC8030"/>) <xref target="RFC8030"/>, and VAPID (<xref target="RFC8292"/>) <xref target="RFC8292"/> apply to this document.</t>

XrGXvavkP85ys2AIHQAA [rfced] Should the following in Section 3 be tagged as <dl> rather than
<ul> with a single bullet? To see what <dl> looks like, please see these test
files:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9749-TEST.txt
https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9749-TEST.html

Original:
   *  applicationServerKey: "String"

      The ECDSA public key that the push service will use to
      authenticate the application server, in its uncompressed form (as
      described in [X9.62] Annex A) and encoded using base64url encoding
      [RFC7515].  Current systems use the P-256 curve [FIPS186].
-->

<!-- [rfced] Should the Informative Note in Section 3 be in the <aside>
element? The aside element is defined as "a container for content that is
semantically less important or tangential to the content that surrounds
it" (https://authors.ietf.org/en/rfcxml-vocabulary#aside).
-->

<!-- [rfced] We see inconsistent use of <tt> in this document. Please review
the notes below and let us know how to update for consistency. In the
html and pdf outputs, the text enclosed in <tt> is output in fixed-width
font; in the txt output, there are no changes to the font.

a) This term appears with twice with <tt> and once with quotation marks:

<tt>urn:ietf:params:jmap:webpush-vapid</tt>
"urn:ietf:params:jmap:webpush-vapid"

b) This term appears once with <tt> and six times without <tt>:

<tt>PushSubscription</tt>
PushSubscription

Also, consider if the following should be handled in the same way as
PushSubscription; currently, these do not have <tt>.

PushVerification
StateChange
sessionState
applicationServerKey

c) These terms have a similar structure, but one appears with <tt> and one
without (one instance of each). We recommend consistent handling.

<tt>PushSubscription/changes</tt>

PushSubscription/set

<!-- [rfced] This document consistently uses "WebPush" (single word with no
space). We see use of both "WebPush" (single word) and "Web Push" (two
words) in past RFCs. See the notes below and let us know if you would
like to leave the single-word form in this document or make a change.

RFC 8030 - uses two-word form in title of "Web Push Identifiers" registry, but
also uses one-word form in a couple of instances (i.e., "WebPush scenarios"
and "WebPush Architecture").

RFC 8291 - uses both forms (seems the two-word form is used in prose and the
one-word form is used in code).

RFC 8292 - uses the two-word form in document title and in the context of "Web
Push protocol".

The only RFCs with this term in the document title are RFCs 8291 and 8292, and
both use "Web Push" (two words). See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index.txt.

<!-- [rfced] FYI - We have added expansions for the following abbreviations
per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style Guide"). Please review each
expansion in the document carefully to ensure correctness.

Voluntary Application Server Identification (VAPID)
JSON Meta Application Protocol (JMAP)
JSON Web Token (JWT)
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)

<!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the online Style Guide
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language> and let
us know if any changes are needed. Updates of this nature typically
result in more precise language, which is helpful for readers.

Note that our script did not flag any words in particular, but this should
still be reviewed as a best practice.
