Abstract

   This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
   extension framework for mapping information about the validation
   process that has been applied for the E.164 number (or number range)
   that the E.164 Number Mapping (ENUM) domain name is based on.
   Specified in the Extensible Markup Language (XML), this mapping
   extends the EPP domain name mapping to provide an additional feature
   required for the provisioning of ENUM Domain Names.

1.  Introduction

   This document describes a framework for an ENUM [2] validation
   information mapping for version 1.0 of EPP [3].  This mapping, an
   extension of the EPP domain name mapping described in [4], is
   specified using XML 1.0, as described in [5], and XML Schema
   notation, as described in [6] and [7].

   The EPP core protocol specification [3] provides a complete
   description of EPP command and response structures.  A thorough
   understanding of the base protocol specification is necessary to
   understand the mapping described in this document.

RFC 5076            ENUM Validation Mapping for EPP        December 2007


   ENUM [2] describes how the Domain Name System (DNS) can be used to
   identify services associated with an E.164 number.

   As described in RFC 4725 [9], usually only the Assignee of the E.164
   number (or number range) has the right to register the corresponding
   ENUM domain name.  Therefore, an ENUM validation process has to be
   applied before the ENUM domain name can be inserted into the DNS.
   The validation process shall ensure that the holder of the ENUM
   domain name coincides with the Assignee of the corresponding E.164
   number (or number range).  However, the details of the ENUM
   validation methods are beyond the scope of this document.

   The EPP extension described in this document specifies a framework
   for the mapping of information about the ENUM validation process.  As
   the local legislation or the validation procedures may vary, the
   content of the validation information itself is not part of this
   specification.

   However, this document contains a working example (including XML
   schema) to show how the validation information could look.  This
   example could even be used for a lightweight validation process.  In
   fact, it has been an integral part of the Swiss ENUM trial.

   Using this extension framework, the content of the validation
   information can be specified according to the local requirements.
   Such an extension is specified in [10].

   More background information concerning the validation can be found in
   RFC 4725 [9], which also describes a typical basic role model for the
   ENUM registration process.

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1].

   In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and "S:"
   represents lines returned by a protocol server.  Indentation and
   white space in examples are provided only to illustrate element
   relationships and are not REQUIRED features of this specification.

   XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
   and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
   character case presented to develop a conforming implementation.

3.  Requirements

   The following requirements are the basis for this work:

   1. The design shall allow multiple policies and validation
      procedures.

   2. It shall be possible to transmit validation information with EPP
      domain object requests and responses.

   3. It shall be possible to add, modify, and remove validation
      information.

   4. It shall be possible to retrieve validation information stored in
      the ENUM Registry.

4.  Object Attributes

   This extension adds additional elements to the EPP domain name
   mapping [4].  Only new element descriptions are listed here.

4.1.  ENUM Domain Names

   An ENUM Domain Name is a representation of an E.164 number that has
   been translated to conform to domain name syntax as described in the
   ENUM specification [2].

4.2.  Validation Information Commands

   The following commands are defined for handling validation
   information at the registry:

   o  add: to add new validation information

   o  rem: to revoke validation information

   o  chg: to change stored validation information

   o  inf: to get information about stored validation information

4.3.  Id

   The "id" attribute, used to identify the validation, is represented
   in this mapping using a character string.  It MUST be unique at least
   within the same ENUM Domain Name.  To ensure uniqueness even after a
   transfer of an ENUM Domain Name, it is RECOMMENDED that the "id"
   attribute be unique per ENUM Registry.

RFC 5076            ENUM Validation Mapping for EPP        December 2007


   The "id" attribute, usually assigned by the ENUM Registrar, is
   required for revoking or changing stored validation information and
   appears in the Validation Information Command elements (see Section
   4.2).

4.4.  Validation Information

   The <validationInfo> element can contain any element containing
   validation information that is documented adequately.  It is
   represented in this mapping using the XML schema <any> element and
   therefore, is extensible.

   The number of <validationInfo> elements permitted per domain object
   is subject to local policy.

4.5.  Validation Elements in the Example

   As described above, this document includes an example for a possible
   content of validation information that is used in the EPP examples
   throughout this document.

   This example is an optional part of this specification, i.e., a fully
   compliant RFC 5076 implementation does not need to implement this
   example.

4.5.1.  Method Identifier

   The <methodID> element is represented in this mapping using a
   character string with a maximum length of 63 characters.  It contains
   an identifier for the method used for the validation.  As stated in
   Section 1, the details of the ENUM validation methods are beyond the
   scope of this document.

4.5.2.  Validation Entity Identifier

   The <validationEntityID> element is represented in this mapping using
   a character string with a length of 3 to 16 characters.  It contains
   an identifier assigned to the ENUM Validation Entity, e.g., by the
   ENUM Registry.

4.5.3.  Registrar Identifier

   The <registrarID> element is represented in this mapping using a
   character string with a length of 3 to 16 characters.  It contains an
   identifier assigned to the ENUM Registrar by the ENUM Registry.

RFC 5076            ENUM Validation Mapping for EPP        December 2007


4.5.4.  Execution Date

   The <executionDate> element, the execution date of the validation, is
   represented in this mapping using the XML Schema 'date' data type.

4.5.5.  Expiration Date

   The <expirationDate> element, the expiration date of the validation,
   is represented in this mapping using the XML Schema 'date' data type.

5.  EPP Command Mapping

   A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
   in the EPP core protocol specification [3], and the EPP domain name
   mapping is described in [4].  The command mappings described here are
   specifically for use in implementing ENUM validation information
   provisioning processes via EPP.

   Note: Whether or not this extension is included into an EPP request
   or response depends on local policy.  For example, a local Registry
   policy might require the use of this extension for EPP <create>,
   <update>, and <info> commands, but not support it for EPP <transfer>
   and <renew> commands.  Therefore, this is beyond the scope of this
   document.

5.1.  EPP Query Commands

   EPP provides three commands to retrieve object information: <check>
   to determine if an object is known to the server, <info> to retrieve
   detailed information associated with an object, and <transfer> to
   retrieve object transfer status information.

5.1.1.  EPP <check> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <check> command
   or <check> response described in the EPP domain mapping [4].

5.1.2.  EPP <info> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <info> command
   described in the EPP domain mapping [4].  Additional elements are
   defined for the <info> response.

   When an <info> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
   <resData> element MUST contain child elements as described in the EPP
   domain mapping [4].  In addition, the EPP <extension> element MUST
   contain an <e164val:infData> element that identifies the extension
   namespace.  The <e164val:infData> element contains one or more



Hoeneisen                   Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 5076            ENUM Validation Mapping for EPP        December 2007


   <e164val:inf> elements, each with an "id" attribute identifying the
   validation.  Each <e164val:inf> element contains an <e164val:
   validationInfo> element, which contains the validation information as
   child element.

   In the example below, the validation information consists of a
   <valex:simpleVal> element that identifies the extension namespace.
   The <valex:simpleVal> element contains the following child elements:

   o  An <e164val:methodID> element that contains an identifier of the
      validation method.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:validationEntityID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Validation Entity.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:registrarID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Registrar by the ENUM Registry.

   o  An <e164val:executionDate> element that contains the date that the
      validation was performed.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:expirationDate> element that contains the
      date that the validation expires.

   Example for <info> response:

   S:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
   S:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
   S:     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

5.1.3.  EPP <transfer> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer>
   command or <transfer> response described in the EPP domain mapping
   [4].

5.2.  EPP Transform Commands

   EPP provides five commands to transform objects: <create> to create
   an instance of an object, <delete> to delete an instance of an
   object, <renew> to extend the validity period of an object,
   <transfer> to manage object sponsorship changes, and <update> to
   change information associated with an object.

5.2.1.  EPP <create> Command

   This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <create>
   command described in the EPP domain mapping [4].  No additional
   elements are defined for the EPP <create> response.

   The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
   client to create a domain object.  In addition to the EPP command
   elements described in the EPP domain mapping [4], the command MUST
   contain an <extension> element.  The <extension> element MUST contain
   an <e164val:create> element that identifies the extension namespace.
   The <e164val:create> element contains one or more <e164val:add>
   elements, each with an "id" attribute identifying the validation.
   Each <e164val:add> element contains an <e164val:validationInfo>
   element, which contains the validation information as child element.

   In the example below, the validation information consists of a
   <valex:simpleVal> element that identifies the extension namespace.
   The <valex:simpleVal> element contains the following child elements:

   o  An <e164val:methodID> element that contains an identifier of the
      validation method.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:validationEntityID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Validation Entity.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:registrarID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Registrar by the ENUM Registry.

   o  An <e164val:executionDate> element that contains the date that the
      validation was performed.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:expirationDate> element that contains the
      date that the validation expires.

5.2.2.  EPP <delete> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <delete> command
   or <delete> response described in the EPP domain mapping [4].

5.2.3.  EPP <renew> Command

   This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <renew>
   command described in the EPP domain mapping [4].  No additional
   elements are defined for the EPP <renew> response.

   The EPP <renew> command provides a transform operation that allows a
   client to extend the validity period of a domain object.  In addition
   to the EPP command elements described in the EPP domain mapping [4],
   the <renew> command MUST contain an <extension> element.  The
   <extension> element MUST contain an <e164val:renew> element that
   identifies the extension namespace.  The <e164val:renew> element
   contains one or more <e164val:add> elements, each with an "id"
   attribute identifying the validation.  Each <e164val:add> element
   contains an <e164val:validationInfo> element, which contains the
   validation information as child element.

   In the example below, the validation information consists of a
   <valex:simpleVal> element that identifies the extension namespace.
   The <valex:simpleVal> contains the following child elements:

   o  An <e164val:methodID> element that contains an identifier of the
      validation method.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:validationEntityID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Validation Entity.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:registrarID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Registrar by the ENUM Registry.

   o  An <e164val:executionDate> element that contains the date that the
      validation was performed.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:expirationDate> element that contains the
      date that the validation expires.

5.2.4.  EPP <transfer> Command

   This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <transfer>
   command described in the EPP domain mapping [4].  No additional
   elements are defined for the EPP <transfer> response.

   The EPP <transfer> command provides a transform operation that allows
   a client to manage requests to transfer the sponsorship of a domain
   object.  Clients can initiate, cancel, approve, and reject a transfer
   request.

   In case of a transfer request, in addition to the EPP command
   elements described in the EPP domain mapping [4], the command MUST
   contain an <extension> element.  The <extension> element MUST contain
   an <e164val:transfer> element that identifies the extension
   namespace.  The <e164val:transfer> element contains one or more
   <e164val:add> elements, each with an "id" attribute identifying the
   validation.  Each <e164val:add> element contains an <e164val:
   validationInfo> element, which contains the validation information as
   child element.

   In the example below, the validation information consists of a
   <valex:simpleVal> element that identifies the extension namespace.
   The <valex:simpleVal> contains the following child elements:

   o  An <e164val:methodID> element that contains an identifier of the
      validation method.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:validationEntityID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Validation Entity.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:registrarID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Registrar by the ENUM Registry.

   o  An <e164val:executionDate> element that contains the date that the
      validation was performed.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:expirationDate> element that contains the
      date that the validation expires.

5.2.5.  EPP <update> Command

   This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <update>
   command described in the EPP domain mapping [4].  No additional
   elements are defined for the EPP <update> response.  The EPP <update>
   command provides a transform operation that allows a client to change
   the state of a domain object.  In addition to the EPP command
   elements described in the EPP domain mapping [4], the <update>
   command MUST contain an <extension> element.  The <extension> element
   MUST contain an <e164val:update> element that identifies the
   extension namespace.  The <e164val:update> element contains one or
   more <e164val:add>, <e164val:rem>, or <e164val:chg> elements, each
   with an "id" attribute identifying the validation.  Each
   <e164val:add> and <e164val:chg> element contains an <e164val:
   validationInfo> element, which contains the validation information as
   child element. <e164val:rem> elements do not have child elements.

   In the example below, the validation information consists of a
   <valex:simpleVal> element that identifies the extension namespace.
   The <valex:simpleVal> contains the following child elements:

   o  An <e164val:methodID> element that contains an identifier of the
      validation method.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:validationEntityID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Validation Entity.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:registrarID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the ENUM Registrar by the ENUM Registry.

   o  An <e164val:executionDate> element that contains the date that the
      validation was performed.

   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:expirationDate> element that contains the
      date that the validation expires.

6.  Formal Syntax

   An EPP object mapping is specified in XML Schema notation.  The
   formal syntax presented here is a complete schema representation of
   the object mapping suitable for automated validation of EPP XML
   instances.  The BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schemas; they
   are used to note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI
   registration purposes.

7.  IANA Considerations

   This document uses Uniform Resource Names (URNs) to describe XML
   namespaces and XML schemas conforming to the registry mechanism
   described in RFC 3688 [8].  Four URI assignments have been made:

   1. Registration for the extension namespace:
      *  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:e164val-1.0
      *  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
         document.
      *  XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML
         specification.

   2. Registration for the extension XML schema:
      *  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:e164val-1.0
      *  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
         document.
      *  XML: See Section 6, "Formal Syntax", of this document.

   3. Registration for the extension namespace:
      *  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:e164valex-1.1
      *  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
         document.
      *  XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML
         specification.

   4. Registration for the extension XML schema:
      *  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:e164valex-1.1
      *  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
         document.
      *  XML: See Section 6, "Formal Syntax", of this document.

8.  Security Considerations

   The mapping extensions described in this document do not provide any
   security services beyond those described by EPP [3], the EPP domain
   name mapping [4], and protocol layers used by EPP.  Security
   considerations related to ENUM are described in the "Security
   Considerations" section of the ENUM specification [2].  The security
   considerations described in these other specifications apply to this
   specification as well.

   Validation information often contains sensitive personal information.
   It is RECOMMENDED that validation information in the <info> response
   is only provided to the sponsoring client.
