      Verification Code Extension for the Extensible Provisioning Protocol
                                     (EPP)
                     draft-gould-eppext-verificationcode-03

    Abstract

       This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
       extension for including a verification code for marking the data for
       a transform command as being verified by a 3rd party, which is
       referred to as the Verification Service Provider (VSP).  The
       verification code is digitally signed by the VSP using XML Signature
       and is "base64" encoded.  The XML Signature includes the VSP signer
       certificate, so the server can verify that the verification code
       originated from the VSP.

    1.  Introduction

       This document describes an extension mapping for version 1.0 of the
       Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) [RFC5730].  This mapping, an
       extension to EPP object mappings like the EPP domain name mapping
       [RFC5731], EPP host mapping [RFC5732], and EPP contact mapping
       [RFC5733], can be used to pass a verification code to one of the EPP
       transform commands.  The domain name object is used for examples in
       the document.  The verification code is signed using XML Signature

    Internet-Draft              verificationCode                  March 2016

       [W3C.CR-xmldsig-core2-20120124] and is "base64" encoded.  The
       "base64" encoded text of the verification code MUST conform to
       [RFC2045].  The verification code demonstrates that verification was
       done by a Verification Service Provider (VSP).

       The Verification Service Provider (VSP) is a certified party to
       verify that data is in compliance with the policies of a locality.  A
       locality MAY require the client to have data verified in accordance
       with local regulations or laws utilizing data sources not available
       to the server.  The VSP has access to the local data sources and is
       authorized to verify the data.  Examples include verifying that the
       domain name is not prohibited and verifying that the domain name
       registrant is a valid individual, organization, or business in the
       locality.  The data verified, and the objects and operations that
       require the verification code to be passed to the server is up to the
       policies of the locality.  The verification code represents a marker
       that the verification was completed.  The data verified by the VSP
       MUST be stored by the VSP along with the generated verification code
       to address any compliance issues.  The signer certificate and the
       digital signature of the verification code MUST be verified by the
       server.

    1.1.  Conventions Used in This Document

       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 [RFC2119].

       XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
       and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
       character case presented in order to develop a conforming
       implementation.

       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 a REQUIRED feature of this protocol.

       "verificationCode-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
       "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:verificationCode-1.0".  The XML namespace
       prefix "verificationCode" is used, but implementations MUST NOT
       depend on it and instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser
       and serializer to interpret and output the XML documents.

    2.  Object Attributes

       This extension adds additional elements to EPP object mappings like
       the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731], EPP host mapping [RFC5732],
       and EPP contact mapping [RFC5733].  Only those new elements are
       described here.

    2.1.  Verification Code

       The Verification Code is a formatted token, referred to as the
       Verification Code Token, that is digitally signed by a Verification
       Service Provider (VSP) using XML Signature
       [W3C.CR-xmldsig-core2-20120124], using the process described in
       Section 2.1.1, and is then "base64" encoded, as defined in
       Section 2.1.2.  The Verification Code Token syntax is specified using
       Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) grammar [RFC5234] as follows:

       Verification Code Token ABNF

       token     = vsp-id "-" verification-id ; Verification Code Token
       vsp-id    = 1*DIGIT                    ; VSP Identifier
       verification-id = 1*(DIGIT / ALPHA)    ; Verification Identifier

       For a VSP given VSP Identifier "1" and with a Verification Identifier
       of "abc123", the resulting Verification Code Token is "1-abc123".
       The Verification Identifier MUST be unique within a VSP and the VSP
       Identifier MUST be unique across supporting VSP's, so the
       Verification Code Token MUST be unique to an individual verification.
       The VSP Identifiers MAY require registration within an IANA registry.

    2.1.1.  Signed Code

       The <verificationCode:signedCode> is the fragment of XML that is
       digitally signed using XML Signature [W3C.CR-xmldsig-core2-20120124].
       The <verificationCode:signedCode> includes a required "id" attribute
       of type XSD ID for use with an IDREF URI from the Signature element.
       The certificate of the issuer MUST be included with the Signature so
       it that can be chained with the issuer's certificate by the
       validating client.

       The <verificationCode:signedCode> element includes a REQUIRED "type"
       attribute for use in defining the type of the signed code.  It is up
       to the VSP and the server to define the valid values for the "type"
       attribute.  Examples of possible "type" attribute values include
       "domain" for verification of the domain name, "registrant" for
       verification of the registrant contact, or "domain-registrant" for
       verification of both the domain name and the registrant.  The typed
       signed code is used to indicate the verifications that are done by

    Gould                  Expires September 11, 2016               [Page 4]

    Internet-Draft              verificationCode                  March 2016

       the VSP.  The "type" attribute values MAY require registration within
       an IANA registry.

       A <verificationCode:signedCode> element substitutes for the
       <verificationCode:abstractSignedCode> abstract element to define a
       concrete definition of a signed code.  The
       <verificationCode:abstractSignedCode> element can be replaced by
       other signed code definitions using the XML schema substitution
       groups feature.

       The child elements of the <verificationCode:signedCode> element
       include:

       <verificationCode:code>  Contains the Verification Code Token as
           defined by the ABNF in Section 2.1.
       <Signature>  XML Signature [W3C.CR-xmldsig-core2-20120124] for the
           <verificationCode:signedCode>.  Use of a namespace prefix, like
           "dsig", is recommended for the XML Signature
           [W3C.CR-xmldsig-core2-20120124] elements.

       Example of a "domain" typed signed code using the
       <verificationCode:signedCode> element and XML Signature
       [W3C.CR-xmldsig-core2-20120124]:

       <verificationCode:signedCode

    2.2.  Verification Profile

       A Verification Profile defines the set of verification code types,
       the commands that the verification code types are required,
       supported, or not supported, and the grace period by which the
       verification code types MUST be set.  A server MAY support many
       verification profiles, each with a unique name and a unique
       verification policy that is implemented by the server.  Each client
       MAY have zero or more server assigned verification profiles that will
       enforce the required verification policies.  Most likely a client
       will be assigned zero or one server assigned verification profile,
       but overlapping profiles is possible.  Overlapping verification
       profiles MUST be treated as a logical "and" of the policies by the

       server.  If no verification profile is assigned to the client, no
       additional verification is required by the client.

    3.  EPP Command Mapping

       A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
       in the EPP core protocol specification [RFC5730].

    3.1.  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.

    3.1.1.  EPP <check> Command

       This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <check> command
       or <check> response described in the [RFC5730].

    3.1.2.  EPP <info> Command

       This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <info>
       command of an object mapping like the EPP domain name mapping
       [RFC5731], EPP host mapping [RFC5732], and EPP contact mapping
       [RFC5733].

       The EPP <info> command is used to retrieve the verification
       information.  The verification information is based on the
       verification profile, as defined in Section 2.2, set in the server
       for the client.  The <verificationCode:info> element is an empty
       element that indicates that the client requests the verification
       information.  The OPTIONAL "profile" attribute can be used by the
       client to explicitly specify a verification profile, as defined in
       Section 2.2, to base the verification information on.  It is up to
       server policy on the set of verification profiles that the client is
       allowed to explicitly specify, and if the client is not allowed, the
       server MUST return the 2201 error response.

       If the query was successful, the server replies with a

       following child elements:

       <verificationCode:status>  The status of the verification for the
           object, using all of the verification profiles assigned to the
           client.  There are four possible values for the status:

           notApplicable  The status is not applicable to the client since
               there is no assigned verification profile.
           nonCompliant  The object is non-compliant according to the
               verification profiles.  If at least one of the profiles is
               "nonCompliant", the object is "nonCompliant".
           pendingCompliance  The object is not in compliance with the
               verification profiles, but has a grace period to set the
               required set of verification codes, as reflected by the due
               date of the verification code type.  If at least one of the
               profiles is "pendingCompliance" and none of the profiles is
               "nonCompliant", the object is "pendingCompliance".
           compliant  The object is compliant with the verification
               profiles.  If All of the profiles for the object are
               "compliant" or if the object has no assignd profiles, the
               object is "compliant".

    3.1.3.  EPP <transfer> Command

       This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer> query
       command or <transfer> response described in the [RFC5730].

    3.2.  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.

    3.2.1.  EPP <create> Command

       This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <create>
       command of an object mapping like the EPP domain name mapping
       [RFC5731], EPP host mapping [RFC5732], and EPP contact mapping
       [RFC5733].

       The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
       client to create an object.  In addition to the EPP command elements
       described in an object mapping like [RFC5731], the command MAY
       contain a child <verificationCode:encodedSignedCode> element, as
       defined in Section 2.1.2, that identifies the extension namespace for
       the client to provide proof of verification by a Verification Service
       Provider (VSP).  The server MAY support multiple policies for the
       passing of the <verificationCode:encodedSignedCode> element based on
       the client profile, which include:

       required  The client MUST pass a valid
           <verificationCode:encodedSignedCode> element containing the
           required set of verification codes.  If a
           <verificationCode:encodedSignedCode> element is not passed or the
           required set of verification codes is not included, the server
           MUST return an EPP error result code of 2306.  If an invalid
           <verificationCode:encodedSignedCode> element is passed, the
           server MUST return an EPP error result code of 2005.
       optional  The client MAY pass a valid
           <verificationCode:encodedSignedCode> element.  If an invalid
           <verificationCode:encodedSignedCode> element is passed, the
           server MUST return an EPP error result code of 2005.
       not supported  The client MUST NOT pass a
           <verificationCode:encodedSignedCode> element.  If a
           <verificationCode:encodedSignedCode> element is passed, the
           server MUST return an EPP error result code of 2102.

       Example <create> command to create a domain object with a
       verification code:

       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 schema; they
       are used to note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI
       registration purposes.

    5.  IANA Considerations

    5.1.  XML Namespace

       This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
       conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].

       Registration request for the verificationCode namespace:

          URI: ietf:params:xml:ns:verificationCode-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 verificationCode XML schema:

          URI: ietf:params:xml:ns:verificationCode-1.0
          Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
          document.
          XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.

    5.2.  EPP Extension Registry

       The EPP extension described in this document should be registered by
       the IANA in the EPP Extension Registry described in [RFC7451].  The
       details of the registration are as follows:

       Name of Extension: "Verification Code Extension for the Extensible
       Provisioning Protocol (EPP)"

       Document status: Standards Track

       Reference: (insert reference to RFC version of this document)

       Registrant Name and Email Address: IESG, <iesg@ietf.org>

       TLDs: Any

       IPR Disclosure: None

       Status: Active

       Notes: None

    6.  Security Considerations

       The mapping extension described in this document is based on the
       security services described by EPP [RFC5730] and protocol layers used
       by EPP.  The security considerations described in these other
       specifications apply to this specification as well.

       XML Signature [W3C.CR-xmldsig-core2-20120124] is used in this
       extension to verify that the Verification Code originated from a
       trusted Verification Service Provider (VSP) and that it wasn't
       tampered with in transit from the VSP to the client to the server.
       To support multiple VSP keys, the VSP certificate chain MUST be
       included in the <X509Certificate> elements of the Signed Code
       (Section 2.1.1) and MUST chain up and be verified by the server
       against a set of trusted certificates.

       It is RECOMMENDED that signed codes do not include white-spaces
       between the XML elements in order to mitigate risks of invalidating
       the digital signature when transferring of signed codes between
       applications takes place.

       Use of XML canonicalization SHOULD be used when generating the signed
       code.  SHA256/RSA-SHA256 SHOULD be used for digesting and signing.
       The size of the RSA key SHOULD be at least 2048 bits.
