PRECIS Framework: Preparation and Comparison of Internationalized
Strings in Application Protocols
draft-ietf-precis-framework-13
Abstract
Application protocols using Unicode characters in protocol strings
need to properly prepare such strings in order to perform valid
comparison operations (e.g., for purposes of authentication or
authorization). This document defines a framework enabling
application protocols to perform the preparation and comparison of
internationalized strings ("PRECIS") in a way that depends on the
properties of Unicode characters and thus is agile with respect to
versions of Unicode. As a result, this framework provides a more
sustainable approach to the handling of internationalized strings
than the previous framework, known as Stringprep (RFC 3454). This
document obsoletes RFC 3454.
