IDMX IANA Considerations

Status: draft. These are the registrations IDMX would request. None is filed until the specification is on a standards track; until then the names below are used unregistered. License: CC-BY-4.0 (see LICENSE).

“Underscored and Globally Scoped DNS Node Names” registry (RFC 8552):

RR Type _NODE NAME Reference
SVCB _idmx discovery.md §2
TXT _idmxkey signing.md §4.1

“Mail Transmission Types” registry (RFC 3848), used in the with clause of Received (signing.md §8.1):

Keyword Description Reference
IDMX Delivery over IDMX (HTTPS with an RFC 9421 domain signature) signing.md §8.1

“Email Authentication Methods” registry (RFC 8601 §6.2):

Method Version ptype Property Value Status Reference
idmx 1 header d Signing domain (keyid domain) active signing.md §8.2
idmx 1 header s Selector of the keyid active signing.md §8.2

“Email Authentication Result Names” registry (RFC 8601 §6.3): add idmx to the methods of the existing result pass. Receivers only deliver verified requests, so no other result is produced.

  • HTTP field names: IDMX uses Content-Digest, Signature-Input, Signature (RFC 9530, RFC 9421) and Idempotency-Key as defined elsewhere; it defines no new field.
  • Problem type URIs live under https://idmx-project.org/ and need no registry.
  • Media types: none new; the body is multipart/mixed.
