Registration Data Access Protocol Reverse Search

Overview

RFC 9536, “Registration Data Access Protocol Reverse Search”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2024 by M. Loffredo, M. Martinelli. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) does not include query capabilities for finding the list of domains related to a set of entities matching a given search pattern. Considering that an RDAP entity can be associated with any defined object class and other relationships between RDAP object classes exist, a reverse search can be applied to other use cases besides the classic domain-entity scenario. This document describes an RDAP extension that allows servers to provide a reverse search feature based on the relationship defined in RDAP between an object class for search and any related object class. The reverse search based on the domain-entity relationship is treated as a particular case.
