RFC 7155
Diameter Network Access Server Application
5. AVP Occurrence Tables
The following tables present the AVPs used by NAS applications in NAS messages and specify in which Diameter messages they may or may not be present. Messages and AVPs defined in the Diameter Base protocol [RFC6733] are not described in this document. Note that AVPs that can only be present within a grouped AVP are not represented in this table. The tables use the following symbols: 0 The AVP MUST NOT be present in the message. 0+ Zero or more instances of the AVP MAY be present in the message.
0-1 Zero or one instance of the AVP MAY be present in the
message.
1 Exactly one instance of the AVP MUST be present in the
message.

6. Unicode Considerations
A number of the AVPs in this RFC use the UTF8String type specified in
the Diameter Base protocol [RFC6733]. Implementation differences in
Unicode input processing may result in the same Unicode input
characters generating different UTF-8 strings that fail to match when
compared for equality. This may result in interoperability problems
between a network access server and a Diameter server when a UTF-8
string entered locally is compared with one received via Diameter.
Many of the uses of UTF8String in this RFC are limited to the 7-bit
US-ASCII-compatible subset of UTF-8, where this class of Unicode
string comparison problems does not arise.
Careful preparation of Unicode strings can increase the likelihood
that string comparison will work in ways that make sense for typical
users throughout the world; [RFC3454] is an example a framework for
such Unicode string preparation. The Diameter application specified
in this RFC has been deployed with use of Unicode in accordance with
[RFC4005], which does not require any Unicode string preparation. As
a result, additional requirements for Unicode string preparation in
this RFC would not be backwards compatible with existing usage.
The Diameter server and the network access servers that it serves can
be assumed to be under common administrative control, and all of the
UTF-8 strings involved are part of the configuration of these
servers. Therefore, administrative interfaces for implementations of
this RFC:
a. SHOULD accept direct UTF-8 input of all configuration strings for
AVPs that allow Unicode characters beyond the 7-bit US-ASCII-
compatible subset of Unicode (in addition to any provisions for
accepting Unicode characters for processing into UTF-8), and
b. SHOULD make all such configuration strings available as UTF-8
strings.
This functionality enables an administrator who encounters Unicode
string comparison problems to copy one instance of aproblematic UTF-8
string from one server to the other, after which the two (now
identical) copies should compare as expected.
7. IANA Considerations
Several of the namespaces used in this document are managed by the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority [IANA], including the AVP Codes
[AVP-Codes], AVP Specific Values [AVP-Vals], Application IDs
[App-Ids], Command Codes [Command-Codes], and RADIUS Attribute Values
[RADIUSAttrVals].
For the current values allocated, and the policies governing
allocation in those namespaces, please see the above-referenced
registries.
8. Security Considerations
This document describes the extension of Diameter for the NAS
application. Security considerations regarding the Diameter protocol
itself are discussed in [RFC6733]. Use of this application of
Diameter MUST take into consideration the security issues and
requirements of the Base protocol.
8.1. Authentication Considerations
This document does not contain a security protocol but does discuss
how PPP authentication protocols can be carried within the Diameter
protocol. The PPP authentication protocols described are PAP and
CHAP.
The use of PAP SHOULD be discouraged, as it exposes users' passwords to possibly non-trusted entities. However, PAP is also frequently used for use with one-time passwords, which do not expose a security risk. This document also describes how CHAP can be carried within the Diameter protocol, which is required for RADIUS backward compatibility. The CHAP protocol, as used in a RADIUS environment, facilitates authentication replay attacks. The use of the EAP authentication protocols [RFC4072] can offer better security, given a method suitable for the circumstances. Depending on the value of the Auth-Request-Type AVP, the Diameter protocol allows authorization-only requests that contain no authentication information from the client. This capability goes beyond the Call Check capabilities provided by RADIUS (Section 5.6 of [RFC2865]) in that no access decision is requested. As a result, a new session cannot be started as a result of a response to an authorization-only request without introducing a significant security vulnerability.8.2. AVP Considerations
Diameter AVPs often contain security-sensitive data; for example, user passwords and location data, network addresses and cryptographic keys. With the exception of the Configuration-Token (Section 4.4.8), QoS-Filter-Rule (Section 4.4.9), and Tunneling (Section 4.5.1) AVPs, all of the AVPs defined in this document are considered to be security-sensitive. Diameter messages containing any AVPs considered to be security- sensitive MUST only be sent protected via mutually authenticated TLS or IPsec. In addition, those messages MUST NOT be sent via intermediate nodes unless there is end-to-end security between the originator and recipient or the originator has locally trusted configuration that indicates that end-to-end security is not needed. For example, end-to-end security may not be required in the case where an intermediary node is known to be operated as part of the same administrative domain as the endpoints so that an ability to successfully compromise the intermediary would imply a high probability of being able to compromise the endpoints as well. Note that no end-to-end security mechanism is specified in this document.
