Introduction E.164 Number Mapping (ENUM) [1] uses the Domain Name System (DNS) [8] to refer from E.164 numbers [2] to Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) [4]. Specific services to be used with ENUM must be registered with IANA. Section 3 of RFC 3761 describes the process of such an Enumservice registration. The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) [7] provides means for streaming Extensible Markup Language (XML) [9] elements between endpoints in close to real time. The XMPP framework is mainly used to provide instant messaging, presence and streaming media services. RFC 4622 [6] registers an Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI) [5] and Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme for identifying XMPP entities. The Enumservice specified in this document allows the provisioning of such "xmpp" URIs (and the URI representations of "xmpp" IRIs) in ENUM. 2. Change Log [Note to editors: This section is to be removed before publication - XML source available on request] draft-ietf-enum-xmpp-01 some minor editorial changes to text changed example record layout draft-ietf-enum-xmpp-00 accepted as WG item during IETF67 moved sections around (changelog behind intro) added seperate terminology section changed Abstract slightly changed introduction added text about IRI mapping draft-mayrhofer-enum-xmpp-00 initial draft 3. 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 [3]. Mayrhofer Expires July 6, 2007 [Page 3] Internet-Draft XMPP Enumservice January 2007 4. ENUM Service Registration - XMPP The following template contains information required for the IANA registrations of the 'XMPP' Enumservice, according to Section 3 of RFC 3761: Enumservice Name: "XMPP" Enumservice Type: "xmpp" Enumservice Subtype: n/a URI Schemes: "xmpp" Functional Specification: This Enumservice indicates that the resource identified is an XMPP entity. Security Considerations: see Section 7 Intended Usage: COMMON Author: Alexander Mayrhofer 5. XMPP IRI/URI considerations for ENUM 5.1. Authority Component XMPP IRIs/URIs optionally contain an "Authority Component" (see section 2.3 of RFC 4622). The presence of such an Authority Component in an IRI/URI signals the processing application to authenticate as the user indicated in the URI/IRI rather than using the preconfigured identity. In the context of this Enumservice, arbitrary clients may discover and use the XMPP URIs/IRIs associated to an E.164 number, hence in most cases those clients will not be able to authenticate as requested in the Authority Component. Therefore, URIs/IRIs results from processing an XMPP Enumservice record SHOULD NOT contain an Authority Component. 5.2. IRI to URI mapping While XMPP supports IRIs as well as 'plain' URIs, ENUM itself supports only the use of URIs for Enumservices. Mayrhofer Expires July 6, 2007 [Page 4] Internet-Draft XMPP Enumservice January 2007 Therefore, XMPP IRIs MUST be mapped to URIs for use in an XMPP Enumservice record. The mapping MUST follow the procedures outlined in section 3.1 of RFC 3987. 6. Example An example ENUM entry referencing to a XMPP URI could look like: $ORIGIN 6.4.9.0.6.4.9.7.0.2.4.4.e164.arpa. @ IN NAPTR ( 100 10 "u" "E2U+xmpp" "!^.*$!xmpp:some-user@example.com!" . ) 7. Security & Privacy Considerations Since ENUM uses DNS - a publicly available database - any information contained in records provisioned in ENUM domains must be considered public as well. Even after revoking the DNS entry and removing the refered resource, copies of the information could still be available. Information published in ENUM records could reveal associations between E.164 numbers and their owners - especially if IRIs/URIs contain personal identifiers or domain names for which ownership information can be obtained easily. However, it is important to note that the ENUM record itself does not need to contain any personal information. It just points to a location where access to personal information could be granted. ENUM records pointing to third party resources can easily be provisioned on purpose by the ENUM domain owner - so any assumption about the association between a number and an entity could therefore be completely bogus unless some kind of identity verification is in place. This verification is out of scope for this memo. 8. IANA Considerations This memo requests registration of the "XMPP" Enumservice according to the definitions in this document and RFC 3761 [1]. The required template is contained in Section 4. Mayrhofer Expires July 6, 2007 [Page 5] Internet-Draft XMPP Enumservice January 2007 9.
