Domain Name Associations in the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol
RFC 7712, “Domain Name Associations in the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2015 by P. Saint-Andre, M. Miller, P. Hancke. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document improves the security of the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) in two ways. First, it specifies how to establish a strong association between a domain name and an XML stream, using the concept of "prooftypes". Second, it describes how to securely delegate a service domain name (e.g., example.com) to a target server hostname (e.g., hosting.example.net); this is especially important in multi-tenanted environments where the same target server hosts a large number of domains.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
