                 ENUM Validation Information Mapping
               for the Extensible Provisioning Protocol

Status of This Memo

  This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
  Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
  improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
  Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
  and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

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.




Hoeneisen                   Standards Track                     [Page 4]

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"

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].

RFC 5076            ENUM Validation Mapping for EPP        December 2007


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.

RFC 5076            ENUM Validation Mapping for EPP        December 2007


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.
