Abstract:
Application protocols using Unicode code points in protocol strings
need to properly prepare such strings in order to perform valid
comparison operations (e.g., for purposes of authentication or
authorization). This document defines a framework enabling
application protocols to perform the preparation and comparison of
internationalized strings (a.k.a. "PRECIS") in a way that depends on
the properties of Unicode code points and thus is agile with respect
to versions of Unicode. As a result, this framework provides a more
sustainable approach to the handling of internationalized strings
than the previous framework, known as Stringprep (RFC 3454). A
specification that reuses this framework can either directly use the
PRECIS string classes or subclass the PRECIS string classes as
needed. This framework takes an approach similar to the revised
internationalized domain names (IDNs) in applications (IDNA)
technology (RFC 5890, RFC 5891, RFC 5892, RFC 5893, RFC 5894) and
thus adheres to the high-level design goals described in the IAB's
recommendations regarding IDNs (RFC 4690), albeit for application
technologies other than the Domain Name System (DNS). This document
obsoletes RFC 3454.
