4.1. RDAP Conformance 4.1. RDAP Conformance
The data structure named "rdapConformance" is an array of strings, The data structure named "rdapConformance" is an array of strings,
each providing a hint as to the specifications used in the each providing a hint as to the specifications used in the
construction of the response. This data structure appears only in construction of the response. This data structure MUST appear in the
the topmost JSON object of a response. topmost JSON object of a response and MUST NOT appear anywhere else.
A response to a "help" request will include identifiers for all of
the specifications supported by the server. A response to any other
request will include only identifiers for the specifications used in
the construction of the response. The set of returned identifiers
MAY vary depending on the authorization level of the client.

an "href" URI that is the same as the "self" link relation "href" URI
to reduce the risk of infinite client processing loops.
Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) returned in URIs SHOULD be
consistently returned in LDH name format to allow clients to process
these IDNs according to their capabilities.

11. Security Considerations 11. Implementation Status
NOTE: Please remove this section and the reference to RFC 7942 prior
to publication as an RFC.
This section records the status of known implementations of the
protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in RFC 7942
[RFC7942]. The description of implementations in this section is
intended to assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing
drafts to RFCs. Please note that the listing of any individual
implementation here does not imply endorsement by the IETF.
Furthermore, no effort has been spent to verify the information
presented here that was supplied by IETF contributors. This is not
intended as, and must not be construed to be, a catalog of available
implementations or their features. Readers are advised to note that
other implementations may exist.
According to RFC 7942, "this will allow reviewers and working groups
to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
they see fit".

security considerations specified in [RFC7480] and the security security considerations specified in [RFC7480] and the security
requirements and considerations in [RFC7481]. requirements and considerations in [RFC7481].
RDAP responses allow for retrieval of DNSSEC (key) related
information, but the RRSIG DS from the parent zone is not conveyed
alongside it. This means that the DNSSEC keys retrieved by RDAP are
disconnected from their containing PKI, and as such are not generally
expected to be trusted without additional information. In
particular, the HTTPS channel protecting the RDAP connection is not
expected to be authorized to certify the validity of the DNSSEC keys.
Clients caching data, especially clients using RDAP-specific caches Clients caching data, especially clients using RDAP-specific caches

URI: http://www.arin.net
01: Updated references to 7482 to 7482bis Internet-Draft. Updated
"Change Log" to "Changes from RFC 7483". Added APNIC
implementation status. Adjusted case of "xxxx" used in examples
where "XXXX" was previously used, and removed an "X" from "XXXXX".
Changed IPv6 address example using "C00" to "c00". Added "a
string representing" to the definitions of startAddress and
endAddress. Removed "entity" from "Autonomous System Number
Entity Object Class". Added "an unsigned 32-bit integer" to the
definition of startAutnum and endAutnum. Added "a string
representing" to the definition of name in the IP network and ASN
object classes. Clarified rdapConformance identifier registration
expectations in Section 4.1. Changed "lunarNic_level_0" to
"lunarNIC_level_0". Clarified that the "value", "rel" and "href"
JSON values MUST be specified in the "links" array. Clarified
that the "description" array is required in the Notices and
Remarks data structures and other values are OPTIONAL. Noted that
all members of the "events" and "Public IDs" arrays are REQUIRED.
Fix "self" link values in examples. Changed "http" to "https"
link values in examples. Noted that Figure 18 is an example of a
nameserver object with all "appropriate" values given. In
appendix C, quoted the word "label" in "label attribute". Added
reference to "status" definition in the descriptions for IP
networks and autnums. Fixed a 404 for the informative reference
to "The Stealthy Ascendancy of JSON". Added "boolean" to the
definition of zoneSigned. Clarified REQUIRED and OPTIONAL members
of the "events" array. Changed "SHOULD not" to "SHOULD NOT" in
Section 5. Updated normative references (5226-8126, 5988-8288,

split URLs to avoid long lines.
00: Initial working group version. Added acknowledgments.
01: Changed "The "lang" attribute may appear anywhere in an object
class or data structure except for in jCard objects" to "The
"lang" attribute as defined in this section MAY appear anywhere in
an object class or data structure, except for in jCard objects.
jCard supports similar functionality by way of the LANGUAGE
property parameter (see Section 5.1 of RFC 6350 [RFC6350]".
Changed "simple data types conveyed in JSON strings" to "simple
data types conveyed in JSON primitive types (strings, numbers,
booleans, and null)". Changed "In other words, servers are free
to not include JSON members containing registration data based on
their own policies" to "In other words, servers are free to omit
unrequired/optional JSON members containing registration data
based on their own policies". Changed "This data structure
appears only in the topmost JSON object of a response" to "This
data structure MUST appear in the topmost JSON object of a
response". Changed "Some non-answer responses may return entity
bodies with information that could be more descriptive" to "Some
non-answer responses MAY return entity bodies with information
that could be more descriptive". Changed "The basic structure of
that response is an object class containing an error code number
(corresponding to the HTTP response code) followed by a string
named "title" and an array of strings named "description"" to "The
basic structure of that response is an object class containing a
REQUIRED error code number (corresponding to the HTTP response
code) followed by an OPTIONAL string named "title" and an OPTIONAL
array of strings named "description"". Changed the "Autonomous
System Number Object Class" section title to "The Autonomous
System Number Object Class" for consistency with other section
titles. Removed trailing periods in the "Terminology and
Definitions" section for consistency. Changed instances of
"lunarNic" to "lunarNIC" for consistency. Removed an extraneous
trailing period after the eventDate description. Changed a "." to
";" in the description of the "network" member of the domain
object class. Changed "The high-level structure of the autnum
object class consists of information about the network
registration" to "The high-level structure of the autnum object
