Abstract

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

1.  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 [3].

   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 is provided only to illustrate element
   relationships and is not a REQUIRED feature 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.

2.  Introduction

   This document describes a framework for an E.164 Number Mapping
   (ENUM) validation information mapping for version 1.0 of the
   Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP).  This mapping, an extension
   of the domain name mapping described in [5], is specified using the
   Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 as described in [7] and XML
   Schema notation as described in [8] and [9].

   The EPP core protocol specification [4] 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.

   ENUM [6] describes how the Domain Name System (DNS) can be used to
   identify services associated with an E.164 number.

   Usually only the holder 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 holder of
   the corresponding E.164 number (or number range).

   Several validation methods come into question; e.g.  a confirmation
   of the number assignment entity, which is often the Telephony Service
   Provider (TSP) of the E.164 number holder.  In cases where an E.164
   number is assigned together with the corresponding ENUM domain name,
   the validation process is rather simple.  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 validation process that has

Internet-Draft      ENUM Validation Mapping for EPP        February 2005


   been applied for the E.164 number (or number range) the ENUM domain
   name is based on.  As the local legislation or the validation
   procedures may vary, the content of validation information itself is
   not specified in this document.  However, it includes a working
   example (including XML schema) to show how the validation information
   could look like.  Using this extension framework, the content of the
   validation information can be specified according to the local
   requirements.  Such an extension is specified in [11].

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

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 at
       the ENUM Registry.

4.  Object Attributes

   This extension adds additional elements to the EPP domain name
   mapping [5].  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 [6].

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



Hoeneisen               Expires August 22, 2005                 [Page 4]


Internet-Draft      ENUM Validation Mapping for EPP        February 2005


   in this mapping using a character string.  It MUST be unique at least
   within the same ENUM Domain Name.  The "id" attribute is used to
   identify a specific validation and appears in the Validation
   Information Command elements (see above).

4.4  Validation information

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

4.5  Validation Fields in the Example

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

4.5.1  Method Identifier

   The methodID field 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 above, the details of the ENUM validation methods are
   beyond the scope of this document.

4.5.2  Validation Entity Identifier

   The valEntityID field is represented in this mapping using a
   character string with a length of 3 to 16 characters.  It contains an
   identifier assigned to the Validation Entity e.g.  by the Registry.

4.5.3  Registrar Identifier

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

4.5.4  Execution Date

   The execDate field, the execution date of the validation, is
   represented in this mapping using the XML Schema 'date' data type.

4.5.5  Expire Date

   The expireDate field, the expire 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 [4], and the EPP domain name
   mapping is described in [5].  The command mappings described here are
   specifically for use in implementing ENUM validation information
   provisioning processes via EPP.

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 [5].

5.1.2  EPP <info> Command

   This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <info> command
   described in the EPP domain mapping [5].  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 [5].  In addition, the EPP <extension> element MUST
   contain an <e164val:infData> element that identifies the extension
   namespace and the location of the extension schema.  The
   <e164val:infData> element contains one or more <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 examples below, the validation information consists of an
   <e164valex:simpleVal> element that identifies the extension namespace
   and the location of the extension schema.  The <e164valex:simpleVal>
   element contains the following child elements:
   o  An <e164val:methodID> element that contains an identifier of the
      validation method.
   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:valEntityID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the Validation Entity.
   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:registrarID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the Registrar by the Registry.
   o  An <e164val:execDate> element that contains the date, when the
      validation has been performed.

Internet-Draft      ENUM Validation Mapping for EPP        February 2005


   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:expireDate> element that contains the date,
      when the validation expires.

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
   [5].

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 [5].  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 [5], the command MUST

   contain an <extension> element.  The <extension> element MUST contain
   an <e164val:create> element that identifies the extension namespace
   and the location of the extension schema.  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 examples below, the validation information consists of an
   <e164valex:simpleVal> element that identifies the extension namespace
   and the location of the extension schema.  The <e164valex:simpleVal>
   element contains the following child elements:
   o  An <e164val:methodID> element that contains an identifier of the
      validation method.
   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:valEntityID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the Validation Entity.
   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:registrarID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the Registrar by the Registry.
   o  An <e164val:execDate> element that contains the date, when the
      validation has been performed.
   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:expireDate> element that contains the date,
      when the validation expires.

   the <renew> command MUST contain an <extension> element.  The
   <extension> element MUST contain an <e164val:renew> element that
   identifies the extension namespace and the location of the extension
   schema.  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 examples below, the validation information consists of an
   <e164valex:simpleVal> element that identifies the extension namespace
   and the location of the extension schema.  The <e164valex:simpleVal>
   contains the following child elements:
   o  An <e164val:methodID> element that contains an identifier of the
      validation method.
   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:valEntityID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the Validation Entity.
   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:registrarID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the Registrar by the Registry.
   o  An <e164val:execDate> element that contains the date, when the
      validation has been performed.

5.2.4  EPP <transfer> Command

   This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <transfer>
   command described in the EPP domain mapping [5].  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 [5], the command MUST
   contain an <extension> element.  The <extension> element MUST contain
   an <e164val:transfer> element that identifies the extension namespace

5.2.5  EPP <update> Command

   This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <update>
   command described in the EPP domain mapping [5].  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 [5], the
   <update> command MUST contain an <extension> element.  The
   <extension> element MUST contain an <e164val:update> element that
   identifies the extension namespace and the location of the extension
   schema.  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 examples below, the validation information consists of an
   <e164valex:simpleVal> element that identifies the extension namespace
   and the location of the extension schema.  The <e164valex:simpleVal>
   contains the following child elements:
   o  An <e164val:methodID> element that contains an identifier of the
      validation method.
   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:valEntityID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the Validation Entity.
   o  An OPTIONAL <e164val:registrarID> element that contains an
      identifier assigned to the Registrar by the Registry.
   o  An <e164val:execDate> element that contains the date, when the
      validation has been performed.

7.  IANA Considerations

   This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
   conforming to a registry mechanism described in RFC 3688 [10].  Two
   URI assignments are requested.
   1.  Registration request 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 request 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 the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.

8.  Security Considerations

   The mapping extensions described in this document do not provide any
   security services beyond those described by EPP [4], the EPP domain
   name mapping [5], and protocol layers used by EPP.  Security
   considerations related to ENUM are described in the "Security
   Considerations" section of the ENUM specification [6].  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.
