Mark and Signed Mark Objects Mapping
Abstract
Domain Name Registries (DNRs) may operate in special modes for
certain periods of time, enabling trademark holders to protect their
rights during the introduction of a Top-Level Domain (TLD).
One of those special modes of operation is the Sunrise Period. The
Sunrise Period allows trademark holders an advance opportunity to
register domain names corresponding to their trademarks before names
are generally available to the public.
This document describes the format of a mark and a digitally signed
mark used by trademark holders for registering domain names during
the Sunrise Period of generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs). Three types
of Mark objects are defined in this specification: registered
trademarks, court-validated marks, and marks protected by statue or
treaty.

RFC 7848 Mark and Signed Mark June 2016
1. Introduction
Domain Name Registries (DNRs) may operate in special modes for
certain periods of time enabling trademark holders to protect their
rights during the introduction of a Top-Level Domain (TLD).
One of those special modes of operation is the Sunrise Period. The
Sunrise Period allows trademark holders an advance opportunity to
register domain names corresponding to their trademarks before names
are generally available to the public.
This specification was defined as part of the development of the
ICANN Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH). The ICANN TMCH is a global
repository for trademark data used by DNRs, registrars, and trademark
holders during the registration process of domain names.
This document describes a mapping of the common elements found in
trademark data. A digitally signed mark format is defined in order
to support digital signatures on the mark. Finally, a mapping for
encoding the signed mark document is defined.
Three types of Mark objects are defined in this specification:
registered trademarks, court-validated marks, and marks protected by
statue or treaty.
This specification is intended to be used in the gTLD space, but
nothing precludes the use of this format by other entities.
The detailed policy regarding the public key infrastructure (PKI),
authorized validators, and other requirements must be defined based
on the local policy of the entities using this specification. In the
case of gTLDs, the detailed policy regarding the use of this
specification is defined in the Rights Protection Mechanism
Requirements document (see [ICANN-TMCH]), and the PKI is defined in
[TMCH]. Implementations will need to implement such a PKI (or an
equivalent) in order for the signatures defined in this document to
have any useful semantics.
The objects specified in this document can be referenced by
application protocols like the Extensible Provisioning Protocol
(EPP), defined in [RFC5730].

RFC 7848 Mark and Signed Mark June 2016
1.1. 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 [RFC2119].
XML (EXtensible Markup Language) 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.
"signedMark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0". The XML namespace prefix
"smd" 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.
"mark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mark-1.0". The XML namespace prefix "mark"
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 Description
This section defines the Mark and Signed Mark objects. Empty complex
element types and abstract elements are defined to support additional
definitions using XML schema substitution groups. Support for
replacement through the XML schema substitution groups is included in
the description of the objects.
This section defines some elements as OPTIONAL. If an element is not
defined as OPTIONAL, then it MUST be included in the object.
The following elements are defined as telephone numbers:
<mark:voice>, <mark:fax>, and <smd:voice>. The representation of
telephone numbers in this specification is derived from structures
defined in [ITU.E164.2005]. Telephone numbers described in this
mapping are character strings that MUST begin with a plus sign ("+",
ASCII value 0x002B), followed by a country code defined in
[ITU.E164.2005], followed by a dot (".", ASCII value 0x002E),
followed by a sequence of digits representing the telephone number.
An optional "x" attribute is provided to note telephone extension
information.
The following elements are defined as email addresses: <mark:email>
and <smd:email>. Email address syntax is defined in [RFC5322].
Lozano Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7848 Mark and Signed Mark June 2016

2.3. Signed Mark
The <smd:signedMark> is a digitally signed XML document using an XML
Signature [XMLDSIG]. The <smd:signedMark> XML document (SMD)
includes a required "id" attribute of type XML Schema Definition
(XSD) ID for use with an IDREF URI from the Signature element. The
SMD might be transmitted as part of a protocol already based on XML;
therefore, exclusive XML canonicalization as defined in [XMLC14N]
MUST be used.
A <smd:signedMark> element substitutes for the
<smd:abstractSignedMark> abstract element to define a concrete
definition of a signed mark. The <smd:abstractSignedMark> element
can be replaced by other signed mark definitions using the XML schema
substitution groups feature.
The child elements of the <smd:signedMark> element include:
o The <smd:id> element that uniquely identifies an SMD in relation
to a repository of SMDs potentially maintained by more than one
issuer. The <smd:id> value is a concatenation of the local
identifier, followed by a hyphen ("-", ASCII value 0x002D),
followed by the issuer identifier.
o A <smd:issuerInfo> element that contains the information of the
issuer of the mark registration. An "issuerID" attribute is used
to specify the issuer identifier. The child elements include:
* A <smd:org> element that contains the organization name of the
issuer.
* A <smd:email> element that contains the issuer customer support
email address.
* An OPTIONAL <smd:url> element that contains the HTTP or HTTPS
URL of the issuer's site.
* An OPTIONAL <smd:voice> element that contains the issuer's
voice telephone number.
o A <smd:notBefore> element that contains the creation date and time
of the SMD.
o A <smd:notAfter> element that contains the expiration date and
time of the SMD.
Lozano Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 7848 Mark and Signed Mark June 2016
o A <mark:mark> element that contains the mark information as
defined in Section 2.2.

NOTE: The example shown above includes white space for indentation
purposes. It is RECOMMENDED that SMDs do not include white space
between the XML elements, in order to mitigate risks of invalidating
the digital signature when transferring of SMDs between applications
takes place.
2.4. Encoded Signed Mark
The <smd:encodedSignedMark> element contains an encoded form of an
SMD (described in Section 2.3), with the encoding defined by the
"encoding" attribute with the default "encoding" value of "base64"
[RFC4648].
The following is an example of a <smd:encodedSignedMark> element that
uses the default "base64" for encoding a <smd:signedMark> element.

the Signed Mark object. The second schema is the schema for the Mark
object.
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.

4. IANA Considerations
This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
conforming to the registry mechanism described in [RFC3688]. IANA
has registered two URI assignments: signed mark (signedMark-1.0) and
mark (mark-1.0).
o The signed mark namespace (signedMark-1.0) has been registered in
the "ns" registry.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0
Registrant Contact: IESG
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
o The signed mark schema (signedMark-1.0) has been registered in the
"schema" registry.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:signedMark-1.0
Registrant Contact: IESG
XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.
o The mark namespace (mark-1.0) has been registered in the "ns"
registry.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mark-1.0
Registrant Contact: IESG
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
o The mark schema (mark-1.0) has been registered in the "schema"
registry.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:mark-1.0
Registrant Contact: IESG
XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.
Lozano Standards Track [Page 21]
RFC 7848 Mark and Signed Mark June 2016
5. Security Considerations
The security of a Signed Mark object depends on the security of the
underlying XML Digital Signature (DSIG) algorithms. As such, all the
security considerations from [XMLDSIG] apply here as well.
The digital signature algorithm used in Signed Mark objects SHOULD be
RSA-SHA256 [RFC6931]. The size of the RSA key SHOULD be at least
2048 bits. A valid reason for choosing something else would be if
RSA-SHA256 is deemed to not provide sufficient security.
In the case of the ICANN TMCH, Signed Mark objects use the algorithms
for digesting and signing recommended in this document.
Signed Mark objects are used primarily for domain name registrations
in gTLDs during the Sunrise Period, but other third parties might be
using them. A party using Signed Mark objects should verify that the
digital signature is valid based on local policy. In the case of
gTLDs, the Rights Protection Mechanism Requirements document
[ICANN-TMCH] defines such policy, and the PKI is defined in [TMCH].
Implementations will need to implement such a PKI (or an equivalent)
in order for the signatures defined in this document to have any
useful semantics.
