IRIS for .COM and .NET
VeriSign’s pilot IRIS service for the COM and
NET Top-Level Domain registries offers to help foster the adoption of
the IRIS protocol and move the domain industry forward to meet the needs
of users. Use of the pilot IRIS service is subject to the
terms of use.
The IRIS Approach
There have been many private efforts to improve
the meta-data services of domain name registries. VeriSign has piloted
both RWhois and LDAP and began participating in the Internet Engineering
Task Force's (IETF) Cross-Registry Internet Service Protocol (CRISP)
Working Group to create a new protocol to replace Nicname/Whois. Once
the CRISP Working Group had decided upon the IRIS approach to this problem
set, VeriSign began piloting an IRIS service for .COM and .NET data.
VeriSign continues to pilot, maintain, and upgrade this service to the
latest specifications.
VeriSign Pilot
To demonstrate IRIS, VeriSign provides domain
registration data (DREG) as described in RFCs 3982 and 3983 (BEEP) at
servers located at iris.verisignlabs.com (port 3434). This service will
also be offered using the newer LWZ and XPC transfer protocols.VeriSign
also maintains a Web-based IRIS query interface located at IRIS
@ VeriSign.
In addition, VeriSign has authored both client
and server IRIS implementations and component libraries. This software
is available under open source license from IRIS
@ VeriSign.
