  • Patent number: 11616756
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for enabling secure transfer of Internet domains between registrars. An example method can include receiving, at a registry, a request from a first registrar for information associated with an object recorded in the registry and registered by the first registrar, then generating, at the registry, an authorization code, the authorization code having an expiration. The registry can then transmit, to the first registrar, the authorization code, which in turn can be given to the registrant. The registrant can forward the authorization code to the second registrar, and the registry can receive, from a second registrar before the expiration has been reached: the authorization code and a transfer request for the object, the transfer request identifying a transfer of the object from the first registrar to the second registrar.

  • Publication number: 20230082749
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer-readable medium, and an apparatus operable to perform the method is provided for managing multiple provisioned domain name system (“DNS”) registry objects. The method can include receiving, at a DNS registry, a multiple domain extensible provisioning protocol (“EPP”) command from a registrar on behalf of a registrant to perform an action for each provisioned DNS registry object of the multiple provisioned DNS registry objects; comparing the action with one or more allowable actions in a policy maintained by the registry; determining, by a processor, that the action is allowable based on the comparing; and performing, based on the determining, the action on each of the provisioned DNS registry objects in one transaction.

  • Publication number: 20230037959
    Abstract: In some examples, a method for validating a consistency of sponsorship can include determining, by a DNS registry, that a second-level domain label of a requested domain name in a first top level domain is related to a second-level domain label of an existing domain name in a second top level domain that is grouped in a top level domain database with the first top level domain. The method can also include validating whether there is consistency of sponsorship between the requested domain name in the first top level domain and the existing domain name in the second top level domain. Additionally, the method can include performing an action related to the requested domain name in the first top level domain if there is consistency of sponsorship. Furthermore, the method can include providing results of the request to a client device.

  • Publication number: 20210279211
    Abstract: A system and method for modifying a bulk set of domain names through bulk operations. A request to modify a bulk set of data associated with domain names is received by a registry. A bulk processing engine associated with the registry can analyze the requested update job, and enforce compliance with a set of policies governing the operation of registry. A priority level can also be assigned to the requested job, so that it will be executed before or after other pending jobs. The user can likewise provide user-supplied policies, which can also be validated against the set of registry policies. Data faults can be reduced or eliminated, and update operations can be performed by comparatively inexperienced personnel.
