Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) M. West Request for Comments: 7762 Google, Inc Category: Informational January 2016 ISSN: 2070-1721 Initial Assignment for the Content Security Policy Directives Registry Abstract This document establishes an Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) registry for Content Security Policy directives and populates that registry with the directives defined in the Content Security Policy Level 2 specification.

Introduction The Content Security Policy (CSP) specification [CSP] defines a mechanism that web developers can use to control the resources that a particular page can fetch or execute, as well as a number of additional security-relevant policy decisions. The policy language specified in that document consists of an extensible set of "directives", each of which controls a specific resource type or policy decision. This specification establishes a registry to ensure that extensions to CSP are listed and standardized. 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 [RFC2119]. 3. Use of the Registry Content Security Policy directives must be documented in a readily available public specification in order to be registered by IANA. This documentation MUST fully explain the syntax, intended usage, and semantics of the directive. The intent of this requirement is to assure interoperable independent implementations, and to prevent accidental namespace collisions between implementations of dissimilar features. Documents defining new Content Security Policy directives MUST register them with IANA, as described in Section 3. The IANA West Informational [Page 2] RFC 7762 Content Security Policy Registry Assignments January 2016 registration policy for such parameters is "Specification Required" [RFC5226] and is further discussed in Section 3.2. 4. IANA Considerations This specification creates a new top-level IANA registry named "Content Security Policy Directives". 4.1. Content Security Policy Directives Registry New Content Security Policy directives, and updates to existing directives, MUST be registered with IANA.Show full document text
