Registration Protocols Extensions U. Wisser Internet-Draft The Swedish Internet Infrastructure Foundation Intended status: Standards Track March 24, 2020 Expires: September 25, 2020 Registry Lock Extension for the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) draft-wisser-registrylock-01 Abstract This extensions defines an additional protective layer for changes to domain [RFC5731], host [RFC5732] and contact [RFC5733] objects managed through EPP. EPP allows changes to objects only by the sponsoring client. EPP objects are usually managed by the sponsoring client on behalf of the sponsoring clients customers. All of these interactions are ususally fully automated. In case of a system breach, there is no protection in EPP to changes to any object by the intruder. This extension defines a protective layer that aims to break automated changes and work flows by requiring manual intervention by the sponsoring client or it's customers.

Introduction This extensions defines an additional protective layer for changes to domain [RFC5731], host [RFC5732] and contact [RFC5733] objects managed through EPP. EPP allows changes to objects only by the sponsoring client. EPP objects are usually managed by the sponsoring client on behalf of the sponsoring clients customers. All of these interactions are ususally fully automated. In case of a system breach, there is no protection in EPP to changes to any object by the intruder. This extension defines a protective layer that aims to break automated changes and work flows by requiring manual intervention by the sponsoring client or it's customers. 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. "regLock" is used as an abbreviation for "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:registryLock-1.0". The XML namespace prefix "reglock" 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 Protection This extension provides additional protection to objects managed by a sponsoring client on behalf of a registrant. This is achieved by requiring additional authorization for transform commands. Solutions can be broadly categorized as in-band or out-of-band authorizations. Where in-band authorizations would provide Wisser Expires September 25, 2020 [Page 3] Internet-Draft registryLock March 2020 authorization through EPP. Whereas out-of-band solutions provide authorization by some other means. 2.1. Password Authorization In-band authorization uses the authorization possibilities provided by EPP Standards [RFC5730], [RFC5731], [RFC5732] and [RFC5733]. Registries implementing in-band authorization should consider to require more secure passwords as specified in draft-ietf-regext- login-security. 2.2. Out-of-band Authorization Out-of-band Authorization is not covered in this document. By definition out of band authorization will not use EPP and therefor is not subject of consideration here. 2.3. Command Execution Restrictions Once an object has Registry Lock enabled all transform commands except MUST only be executed if proper authorization is provided the object is unlocked Otherwise the command MUST be rejected with EPP result code 2201 "Authorization error" [RFC5730] section 3. The following EPP flags [RFC5731], [RFC5732], [RFC5733] must be set. serverDeleteProhibited serverTransferProhibited serverUpdateProhibited If the object is unlocked the flags SHOULD be cleared and the server should answer to an request with the according information. However, if the object is only temporarily unlocked, the flags SHOULD be cleared, but in an response the server should still indicate that the object is under registry lock. OPEN QUESTION: If a domain is under registry lock, can a subordinate host be updated? Wisser Expires September 25, 2020 [Page 4] Internet-Draft registryLock March 2020 3. Object Attributes 3.1. Locking Status Locking Status information indicates if the additional protection of Registry Lock is enabled for an object. Boolean values MUST be represented in the XML Schema format described in Part 2 of the W3C XML Schema recommendation [W3C.REC-xmlschema- 2-20010502]. 4. EPP Command Mapping A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found in the EPP core protocol specification [RFC5730]. 4.1. EPP Query Commands 4.1.1. EPP Command This extension does not add any elements to the EPP command or response described in the EPP mappings [RFC5731], [RFC5732] or [RFC5733]. 4.1.2. EPP Command This extension does not add any elements to the EPP command described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731], host mapping [RFC5732] or contact mapping [RFC5733] However, additional elements are defined for the response. When an command has been processed successfully, the EPP element MUST contain child elements as described in the EPP object mappings. In addition, the EPP element SHOULD contain a child element that identifies the extension namespace the epp client has indicated support for the extension in the command. The element contains the following child elements: Exactly one element that indicates if Registry Lock is enabled for the object. An OPTIONAL element if the object currently can be changed by the sponsoring client. The field indicates the time stamp when further changes will be impossible.

EPP Command This extension does not add any elements to the EPP command or response described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731], [RFC5732] or [RFC5733]. 4.2. EPP Transform Commands 4.2.1. EPP Command This extension does add an element to the EPP response as described in the EPP [RFC5730]. This extension is inteded to be used within the scope of the object creation. It does not define a command of it's own.

EPP Command This extension does not add any elements to the EPP command or response described in the EPP mappings [RFC5731], [RFC5732] or [RFC5733]. Wisser Expires September 25, 2020 [Page 9] Internet-Draft registryLock March 2020 If the object is locked, the EPP command MUST be rejected with EPP response code 2201 "Authorization error" [RFC5730] section 3. See Section 2.3 4.2.3. EPP Command This extension does not add any elements to the EPP command or response described in the EPP mappings [RFC5731], [RFC5732] or [RFC5733]. Execution of the EPP command is not restricted by this extension. 4.2.4. EPP Command This extension does not add any elements to the EPP command or response described in the EPP mappings [RFC5731], [RFC5732] or [RFC5733]. If the object is locked, the EPP command MUST be rejected with EPP response code 2201 "Authorization error" [RFC5730] section 3. See Section 2.3 4.2.5. EPP Command This extension does add an elements to the EPP section of the response as described in [RFC5730]. If the object is locked, the EPP the only allowed command is a temporary unlock. All other commands MUST be rejected with EPP response code 2201 "Authorization error" [RFC5730] section 3. See Section 2.3 If the object is temporarily unlocked only commands are allowed. and are explicitly not allowed. Registries can further narrow down allowed changes, e.g. registries could prohobit changes of registrant for doamins even under temporary unlock. IF the object is temporarily unlocked, the SEVER_UPDATE_PROHIBITED status should be cleared for the time of the temporary unock.

Formal Syntax One schema is presented here that is the EPP Registry Lock Extension schema. 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. 5.1. Registry Lock Extension Schema Wisser Expires September 25, 2020 [Page 13] Internet-Draft registryLock March 2020 BEGIN Registry Lock Extension to the Extensible Provisioning Protocol v1.0 END 6. IANA Considerations 6.1. XML Namespace This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688]. The following URI assignment is requested of IANA: Registration request for the registryLock namespace: Wisser Expires September 25, 2020 [Page 14] Internet-Draft registryLock March 2020 URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:registryLock-1.0 Registrant Contact: IESG XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification. Registration request for the registryLock XML schema: URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:registryLock-1.0 Registrant Contact: IESG XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document. 6.2. 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: "Registry Lock 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, TLDs: Any IPR Disclosure: None Status: Active Notes: None 7. Implementation Status Note to RFC Editor: Please remove this section and the reference to RFC 7942 [RFC7942] before publication. Implemented by .SE since 2019. 8. Security Considerations The security properties of EPP from [RFC5730] are preserved. This extensions introduces an additional security layer for changes of objects managed through EPP. The overall security of these measures depends on policies and procedures not covered in this document. Wisser Expires September 25, 2020 [Page 15] Internet-Draft registryLock March 2020 9.
