− | == Extensible Provisioning Protocol ==
| + | '''Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)''' is an [[XML]] based protocol used by the Internet industry, particularly the [[registrar]]s and [[Registry|registries]] in managing domain names (register, renew, modify, delete, transfer) and other elements in a [[SRS|Shared Registry System]] environment. It is the standard protocol used by a majority of [[gTLD]]s and [[ccTLD]]s.<ref>[http://www.uknof.org.uk/uknof5/Brown-EPP/ What is EPP?]</ref> As described by [[RFC]] 3730, EPP can be used in a multiple layered protocol and operating environments with different transport and security requirements. MIME media type application/epp+xml identifies the content of EPP.<ref>[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3730 Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP).

− | EPP is the industry standard protocol for managing domain names and associated objects in a [[SRS|Shared Registry System]] environment. It is an XML-based protocol defined in RFC 5730, RFC 5731, RFC 5732, RFC 5733, RFC 5734. Use cases not defined in the base protocol may be defined as extensions. Examples of extensions include: RFC 3915 for domain grace periods, and RFC 5910 for managing DNSSEC. | + | ==Service Elements Provided by EPP== |
