Introduction Authorization policies are an important component of presence [RFC2778]. They allow the presentity to grant access to specific pieces of information to watchers. Authorization policies haven been designed to be extensible. For this reason [I-D.rosenberg-simple-common-policy-caps] defines a generic Extensible Markup Language (XML) based format for representing policy capabilities. That format applies to many policy types, including location and presence. This specification extends that one by defining policy capabilities specific to geographic location information. Those policy capabilities correspond to the conditions, actions and transformations defined in [I-D.ietf-geopriv-policy]. Guenther & Tschofenig Expires April 25, 2005 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Geopriv Policy Capabilities October 2004 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]. Furthermore, the terminology defined in [I-D.ietf-geopriv-policy] is used. Guenther & Tschofenig Expires April 25, 2005 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Geopriv Policy Capabilities October 2004 3. Structure of Geopriv Policy Capabilities The structure of common policy capability documents is defined in [I-D.rosenberg-simple-common-policy-caps]. In that specification, each policy capability document has three components - a list of supported conditions, a list of supported actions, and a list of supported transformations. This specification merely extends that document with the conditions, actions and transformations defined in [I-D.ietf-geopriv-policy]. It does so by defining the following empty elements: o civil-loc-condition o geospatial-loc-condition o civil-loc-transformation o set-retention o set-distribution o keep-rules o longitude-resolution o latitude-resolution o altitude-resolution o provide-timezone Each of these elements indicates whether the respective attribute in [I-D.ietf-geopriv-policy] is supported. All of these elements are defined within the namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:supported-geopriv-permissions Guenther & Tschofenig Expires April 25, 2005 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Geopriv Policy Capabilities October 2004 4. XML Schema Guenther & Tschofenig Expires April 25, 2005 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Geopriv Policy Capabilities October 2004 5. Example Document The following document indicates that the identity, validity, and sphere conditions are supported, each of which is defined in [I-D.ietf-geopriv-common-policy]. It also indicates that the geolocation-specific condition named geospatial-loc-condition is supported. Support of the geolocation-specific transformations named civil-loc-transformation, longitude-resolution and latitude-resolution is indicated by the three child elements of the element: Guenther & Tschofenig Expires April 25, 2005 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Geopriv Policy Capabilities October 2004 6. Security Considerations This specification does not introduce any new security considerations beyond those discussed in [I-D.rosenberg-simple-common-policy-caps].
