Abstract
This document describes how an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
session is mapped onto a single Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
connection. This mapping requires use of the Transport Layer Security
(TLS) Protocol to protect information exchanged between an EPP client
and an EPP server.

Internet-Draft EPP TCP Transport April 9, 2001
1. Introduction
This document describes how the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
is mapped onto a single client-server TCP connection. Security
services beyond those defined in EPP are provided by the Transport
Layer Security (TLS) Protocol [RFC2246]. EPP is described in [EPP].
TCP is described in [RFC793].
This document is being discussed on the "rrp" mailing list. To join

words "subscribe rrp" in the body of the message. There is a web site

2. Session Management
Mapping EPP session management facilities onto the TCP service is
straight forward. An EPP session first requires creation of a TCP
connection between two peers, one that initiates the connection
request and one that responds to the connection request. The
initiating peer is called the "client", and the responding peer is
called the "server". An EPP server MUST listen for TCP connection
requests on a standard TCP port. TCP port 65000 should be used for
development and testing purposes in the absence of a port assignment
from IANA.
The client MUST issue an active OPEN call, specifying the TCP port
number on which the server is listening for EPP connection attempts.
The server MUST respond with a passive OPEN call, which the client
MUST acknowledge to establish the connection. The EPP server MUST
return an EPP <greeting> to the client after the TCP session has been
established.
An EPP session is nominally ended by the client issuing an EPP
<logout> command. A server receiving an EPP <logout> command MUST end
the EPP session and close the TCP connection through an active CLOSE
call. The client MUST respond with a passive CLOSE call.
A client MAY end an EPP session by issuing an active CLOSE call. A
server SHOULD respond with a passive CLOSE call.
A server MAY limit the life span of an established TCP connection.
EPP sessions that are inactive for more than a server-defined period
MAY be ended by a server issuing an active CLOSE call. A server MAY
also close TCP connections that have been open and active for more
than a server-defined period.
Peers SHOULD respond to an active CLOSE call with a passive CLOSE
call. The closing peer MAY issue an ABORT call if the responding peer
does not respond to the active CLOSE call.

3. Message Exchange
With the exception of the EPP server greeting, EPP messages are
initiated by the EPP client in the form of EPP commands. An EPP
server MUST return an EPP response to an EPP command on the same TCP
connection that carried the command. If the TCP connection is closed
after a server receives and successfully processes a command but
before the response can be returned to the client, the server MUST
undo the effects of the command to ensure a consistent state between
the client and the server.
An EPP client streams EPP commands to an EPP server on an established
TCP connection. A client MAY establish multiple TCP connections to
facilitate multiple command exchange channels. A server MAY limit a
client to a maximum number of TCP connections based on server
capabilities and operational load.
An EPP command MUST be a well-formed XML instance. An EPP command
begins with an OPTIONAL (but RECOMMENDED) XML processing instruction,
followed by an <epp> element, EPP child elements, and ending with an
</epp> element. A server MUST receive data from a client until an
</epp> element is received, signaling the end of a potentially well-
formed XML instance. XML parsing and command processing begins after
the server has received an </epp> element.
A server SHOULD impose a limit on the amount of time required for a
client to issue a well-formed EPP command. A server SHOULD end an EPP
session and close an open TCP connection if a well-formed command is
not received within the time limit.

4. Internationalization Considerations
This mapping does not introduce or present any internationalization
issues.
5. IANA Considerations
Mapping EPP onto TCP requires a TCP port assignment from IANA for
public operation. TCP port 65000 (a port number in the private port
range) should be used for development and testing purposes in advance
of a port assignment from IANA.
6. Security Considerations
EPP as-is provides only simple client authentication services using
identifiers and plain text passwords. A passive attack is sufficient
to recover client identifiers and passwords, allowing trivial command
forgery. Protection against all common attacks must be provided by
other protocols.
When layered over TCP, EPP MUST be used with the Transport Layer
Security (TLS) Protocol described in [RFC2246] to prevent
eavesdropping, tampering, command forgery, and replay attacks.
Implementations of TLS often contain a US-exportable cryptographic
mode that SHOULD NOT be used to protect EPP. Clients and servers
desiring high security SHOULD instead use TLS with cryptographic
algorithms that are less susceptible to compromise.
Mutual client and server authentication using the TLS Handshake
Protocol is REQUIRED. EPP service MUST NOT be granted until
successful completion of a TLS handshake, ensuring that both client
and server have been authenticated and cryptographic protections are
in place.
EPP TCP servers are vulnerable to common TCP denial of service attacks
including TCP SYN flooding. Servers SHOULD take steps to minimize the
impact of a denial of service attack using combinations of easily
implemented solutions, such as deployment of firewall technology and
border router filters to restrict inbound server access to known,
trusted clients.
