Registry Data Escrow Specification
draft-arias-noguchi-registry-data-escrow-04
Abstract
This document specifies the format and contents of data escrow
deposits targeted primarily for domain name registries. However, the
specification was designed to be independent of the underlying
objects that are being escrowed, therefore it could be used for
purposes other than domain name registries.

Internet-Draft Registry Data Escrow October 2012
1. Introduction
Registry Data Escrow is the process by which an Registry periodically
submits data deposits to a third party called an Escrow Agent. These
deposits comprise the minimum data needed by a third party to resume
operations if the registry can not function and is unable or
unwilling to facilitate an orderly transfer of service. For example,
for a domain name registry or registrar the data to be deposited
would include all the objects related to registered domain names,
e.g., names, contacts, name servers, etc.
The goal of data escrow is higher resiliency of registration
services, for the benefit of Internet users. The beneficiaries of a
registry are not just those registering information there, but all
relying parties that need to identify the owners of objects.
In the context of domain name registries, registration data escrow is
a requirement for generic top-level domains and some country code
top-level domain managers are also currently escrowing data. There
is also a similar requirement for ICANN-accredited domain registrars.
This document specifies a format for data escrow deposits independent
of the objects being escrowed. A specification is required for each
type of registry/set of objects that is expected to be escrowed.
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 BCP 14, [RFC2119].
DEPOSIT. Deposits can be of three kinds: Full, Differential or
Incremental. For all kinds of Deposits, the Universe of Registry
objects to be considered for data escrow are those objects necessary
in order to offer the Registry Services.
DIFFERENTIAL DEPOSIT. Contains data that reflects all transactions
involving the database that were not reflected in the last previous
Full, Incremental or Differential Deposit, as the case may be.
Differential deposit files will contain information from all database
objects that were added, modified or deleted since the previous
Deposit was completed as of its defined Timeline Watermark.
ESCROW AGENT. The organization designated by the Registry or the
Third-Party Beneficiary to receive and guard Data Escrow Deposits
from the Registry.
Arias, et al. Expires April 24, 2013 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Registry Data Escrow October 2012
FULL DEPOSIT. Contains the Registry Data that reflects the current
and complete Registry Database and will consist of data that reflects
the state of the registry as of a defined Timeline Watermark for the
deposit.
INCREMENTAL DEPOSIT. Contains data that reflects all transactions
involving the database that were not reflected in the last previous
Full Deposit. Incremental Deposit files will contain information
from all database objects that were added, modified or deleted since
the previous Full Deposit was completed as of its defined Timeline
Watermark. If the Timeline Watermark of an Incremental Deposit were
to cover the Watermark of another (Incremental or Differential)
Deposit since the last Full Deposit, the former Deposit MUST contain
the transactions of the later Deposit.
REGISTRY. A registration organization providing registration
services for a certain type of objects, e.g., domain names, IP number
resources, routing information.
THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY. Is the organization that, under
extraordinary circumstances, would receive the escrow Deposits the
Registry transferred to the Escrow Agent. This organization could be
a backup Registry, Registry regulator, contracting party of the
Registry, etc.
TIMELINE WATERMARK. Point in time on which to base the collecting of
database objects for a Deposit. Deposits are expected to be
consistent to that point in time.
3. Problem Scope
In the past few years, the issue of Registry continuity has been
carefully considered in the gTLD and ccTLD space. Various
organizations have carried out risk analyses and developed business
continuity plans to deal with those risks, should they materialize.
One of the solutions considered and used, especially in the gTLD
space, is Registry Data Escrow as a way to ensure the Continuity of
Registry Services in the extreme case of Registry failure.
So far, almost every Registry that uses Registry Data Escrow has its
own specification. It is anticipated that more Registries will be
implementing escrow especially with an increasing number of domain
registries coming into service, adding complexity to this issue.
It would seem beneficial to have a standardized specification for
Registry Data Escrow that can be used by any Registry to submit its
Arias, et al. Expires April 24, 2013 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Registry Data Escrow October 2012
deposits.
While the main motivation for developing this solution is rooted on
the domain name industry, the specification has been designed to be
as general as possible. This allows other types of registries to use
the base specification and develop their own specifications covering
the objects used by other registration organizations.
A solution to the problem at hand SHALL clearly identify the format
and contents of the deposits a Registry has to make, such that a
different Registry would be able to rebuild the registration services
of the former, without its help, in a timely manner, with minimum
disruption to its users.
Since the details of the registration services provided vary from
Registry to Registry, the solution SHALL provide mechanisms that
allow its extensibility to accommodate variations and extensions of
the registration services.
Given the requirement for confidentiality and the importance of
accuracy of the information that is handled in order to offer
registration services, the solution SHALL define confidentiality and
integrity mechanisms for handling the registration data.
The solution SHALL NOT include in the specification transient objects
that can be recreated by the new Registry, particularly those of
delicate confidentiality, e.g., DNSSEC KSK/ZSK private keys.
Details that are a matter of policy SHOULD be identified as such for
the benefit of the implementers.
Non-technical issues concerning Data Escrow, such as whether to
escrow data and under which purposes the data may be used, are
outside of scope of this document.
4. General Conventions
4.1. Date and Time
Numerous fields indicate "dates", such as the creation and expiry
dates for objects. These fields SHALL contain timestamps indicating
the date and time in UTC as specified in [RFC3339], with no offset
from the zero meridian.
Arias, et al. Expires April 24, 2013 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Registry Data Escrow October 2012
5. Protocol Description
The following is a format for Data Escrow deposits as produced by a
Registry. Only the format of the objects deposited is defined,
nothing is prescribed about the method used to transfer such deposits
between the Registry and the Escrow Agent or vice versa.
The protocol intends to be object agnostic allowing the "overload" of
abstract elements using the "substitutionGroup" attribute to define
the actual elements of an object to be escrowed.
5.1. Root element <deposit>
The container or root element for a Registry Data Escrow deposits is
<deposit>. This element contains the following child elements:
watermark, deletes and contents. This element also contains the
following attributes:
o A REQUIRED "type" attribute that is used to identify the kind of
deposit: FULL, INCR (Incremental) or DIFF (Differential).
o A REQUIRED "id" attribute that is used to uniquely identify the
escrow deposit. Each registry is responsible for maintaining its
own escrow deposits identifier space to ensure uniqueness, e.g.,
using identifiers as described in Section 2.8 of [RFC5730].
o An OPTIONAL "prevId" attribute that can be used to identify the
previous incremental, differential or full escrow deposit. This
attribute MUST be used in Differential Deposits ("DIFF" type).
o An OPTIONAL "resend" attribute that is used to identify resend
attempts in case of previous failure. The attribute is an
unsigned integer that is incremented each time the escrow is
transmitted. The first time a deposit is attempted to be sent,
the attribute is either omitted or MUST be "0". On the second
attempt to send (i.e. the first attempt to resend) the attribute
MUST be set to "1", and so on. This would be used when, for
example, the previous deposit was not received complete, or it
failed verification at the receiving party.
Example of root element object:
Arias, et al. Expires April 24, 2013 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Registry Data Escrow October 2012
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rde:deposit
xmlns:rde="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rde-1.0"
...
type="FULL"
id="20101017001" prevId="20101010001">
<rde:watermark>2010-10-18T00:00:00Z</rde:watermark>
<rde:deletes>
...
</rde:deletes>
<rde:contents>
...
</rde:contents>
</rde:deposit>
5.2. Child <watermark> element
A <watermark> element contains the data-time corresponding to the
Timeline Watermark of the deposit.
Example of <watermark> element object:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rde:deposit
xmlns:rde="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rde-1.0"
...
type="FULL"
id="20101017001" prevId="20101010001">
<rde:watermark>2010-10-18T00:00:00Z</rde:watermark>
...
</rde:deposit>
5.3. Child <rdeMenu> element
This element contains auxiliary information of the data escrow
deposit.
The <rdeMenu> element contains the following child elements:
o A <version> element that identify the RDE protocol version.
o One or more <objURI> elements that contain namespace URIs
representing the <contents> and <deletes> element objects.
Example of <rdeMenu> element object:
Arias, et al. Expires April 24, 2013 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Registry Data Escrow October 2012
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rde:deposit
xmlns:rde="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rde-1.0"
...
<rde:rdeMenu>
<rde:version>1.0</rde:version>
<rde:objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rdeContact-1.0</rde:objURI>
<rde:objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rdeHost-1.0</rde:objURI>
<rde:objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rdeDomain-1.0</rde:objURI>
<rde:objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rdeRegistrar-1.0</rde:objURI>
<rde:objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rdeIDN-1.0</rde:objURI>
<rde:objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rdeNNDN-1.0</rde:objURI>
<rde:objURI>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rdeEppParams-1.0</rde:objURI>
</rde:rdeMenu>
...
</rde:deposit>
5.4. Child <deletes> element
This element SHOULD only be present in deposits of type Incremental
or Differential. It contains the list of objects that were deleted
since the base previous deposit. Each object in this section SHALL
contain an ID for the object deleted.
This section of the deposit SHOULD NOT be present in Full deposits.
When rebuilding a registry it SHOULD be ignored if present in a Full
deposit.
The specification for each object to be escrowed MUST declare the
identificator to be used to reference the object to be deleted.
Example of <deletes> element object:
Arias, et al. Expires April 24, 2013 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Registry Data Escrow October 2012
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rde:deposit
xmlns:rde="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rde-1.0"
...
<rde:deletes>
<rdeObj1:delete>
<rdeObj1:name>foo.test</rdeObj1:name>
<rdeObj1:name>bar.test</rdeObj1:name>
</rdeObj1:delete>
<rdeObj2:delete>
<rdeObj2:id>sh8013-TEST</rdeObj2:id>
<rdeObj2:id>co8013-TEST</rdeObj2:id>
</rdeObj2:delete>
</rde:deletes>
...
</rde:deposit>
5.5. Child <contents> element
This element of the deposit contains the objects in the deposit. It
MUST be present in all type of deposits. It contains the data for
the objects to be escrowed. The actual objects have to be specified
individually.
In the case of Incremental or Differential deposits, the objects
indicate whether the object was added or modified after the base
previous deposit. In order to distinguish between one and the other,
it will be sufficient to check existence of the referenced object in
the base previous deposit.
When applying Incremental or Differential deposits, i.e., when
rebuilding the registry from data escrow deposits, the order of the
<deletes> and <contents> elements is important. First, all the
deletes MUST be applied and then the adds and updates, i.e., first
apply what is in <deletes> and later what is in <contents>.
Example of <contents> element object:
Arias, et al. Expires April 24, 2013 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Registry Data Escrow October 2012
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<rde:contents>
...
<rdeObj1:contents>
<rdeObj1:element1>
<rdeObj1:child1>Object1 specific.</rdeObj1:child1>
...
</rdeObj1:element1>
<rdeObj2:element2>
<rdeObj2:field1>Object2 specific.</rdeObj2:field1>
...
</rdeObj2:element2>
</rdeObj1:contents>

7. Extension Guidelines
Different business models of registries exist therefore the registry
is reponsible to define a profile that matches its particular model
business model. A profile is an XML schema specifically develop to
the business model of the particular registry. The profile is used
by the data escrow agent to verify the escrow deposits and during the
restoration process of a registry based on the data escrow deposits.
XML Element Subsitution is used to customize a profile. More
detailed spec TBD.
8. Internationalization Considerations
Data Escrow deposits are represented in XML, which provides native
support for encoding information using the Unicode character set and
its more compact representations including UTF-8. Conformant XML
processors recognize both UTF-8 and UTF-16. Though XML includes
provisions to identify and use other character encodings through use
of an "encoding" attribute in an <?xml?> declaration, use of UTF-8 is
RECOMMENDED.
9. IANA Considerations
This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688]. Two URI
assignments have been registered by the IANA.
Registration request for the RDE namespace:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rde-1.0
Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
document.
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
Registration request for the RDE XML schema:
Arias, et al. Expires April 24, 2013 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Registry Data Escrow October 2012
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:rde-1.0
Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
document.
See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.
10. Security Considerations
This specification does not define the security mechanisms to be used
in the transmission of the data escrow deposits, since it only
specifies the minimum necessary to enable the rebuilding of a
Registry from deposits without intervention from the original
Registry.
Depending on local policies, some elements or most likely, the whole
deposit will be considered confidential. As such the Registry
transmitting the data to the Escrow Agent must take all the necessary
precautions like encrypting the data itself and/or the transport
channel to avoid inadvertent disclosure of private data.
It is also of the utmost importance the authentication of the parties
passing data escrow deposit files. The Escrow Agent should properly
authenticate the identity of the Registry before accepting data
escrow deposits. In a similar manner, the Registry should
authenticate the identity of the Escrow Agent before submitting any
data.
Additionally, the Registry and the Escrow Agent should use integrity
checking mechanisms to ensure the data transmitted is what the source
intended. Validation of the contents by the Escrow Agent is
recommended to ensure not only the file was transmitted correctly
from the Registry, but also the contents are also "meaningful".
