Домэйн нэрийн бүртгэлийн нууцлагдсан мэдээллийг яаралтай тохиолдолд хууль сахиулах байгууллагуудад нээлттэй болгох техникийн шийдлийг ICANN боловсруулж байна.
ICANN байгууллага хүний амь нас, дэд бүтэц болон хүүхдийг хамгаалахтай холбоотой яаралтай үед WHOIS бүртгэлийн нууцлагдсан мэдээллийг хууль сахиулах байгууллагуудад олгох баталгаажуулалтын системийг туршиж эхэллээ. Өмнө нь олон нийтэд нээлттэй байсан энэхүү мэдээлэл нь GDPR зэрэг хууль тогтоомжийн улмаас нууцлагдах болсон нь хортой программ хангамж болон фишинг халдлагатай тэмцэхэд хүндрэл учруулж байв.
Индонезийн Бали хотод болсон ICANN-ийн жил тутмын хурлын үеэр энэхүү асуудлыг хэлэлцэх ажлын хэсэг явцын талаар тайлагнав. Namecheap болон Verisign зэрэг домэйн бүртгэгч байгууллагууд уг санаачилгыг дэмжиж байгаагаа илэрхийлсэн бөгөөд одоогоор техникийн шийдлийг боловсруулах ажил үргэлжилж байна.
ICANN нь Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) протоколыг ашиглан хууль сахиулах байгууллагын эрх бүхий ажилтнууд “Registration Data Request Service” (RDRS) системээр дамжуулан хүсэлт илгээх боломжийг бүрдүүлэхээр төлөвлөж байна. Одоогоор FBI болон Интерполтой хамтран туршилт хийж байгаа бөгөөд хүсэлтийг хүлээн авсан бүртгэгч байгууллага 24-72 цагийн дотор шийдвэрлэх үүрэг хүлээх юм.
Системийн аюулгүй байдлыг хангах үүднээс зөвхөн тусгайлан эрх олгогдсон ажилтнууд хандах боломжтой байх бөгөөд хүсэлт гаргагчдын хувийн нууцыг хамгаалах асуудлыг ажлын хэсэг үргэлжлүүлэн хэлэлцэж байна. Техникийн шийдэл бүрэн боловсруулагдсаны дараа ICANN-ийн бодлогын хэсэг ашиглалтын дүрэм болон бусад зохицуулалтыг эцэслэн батлах юм.

ICANN has started testing authentication schemes that will allow law enforcement agencies to make urgent requests for non-public WHOIS information – when needed to address threats to life, critical infrastructure, or child exploitation. Domain registrars collect information about their customers and in the past that data was publicly available in WHOIS records. Some domain registrars offer services that substitute their own contact details, to preserve customer privacy. In recent years, laws like GDPR mean registrars are sometimes required to hide WHOIS data. That’s fair enough but makes it hard for law enforcement to contact a domain holder if their resources are being misused – intentionally or otherwise – for purposes such as hosting malware, acting as command-and-control infrastructure for malware, or facilitating phishing. ICANN’s definition for the kind of behaviour it thinks justifies urgent requests for WHOIS info is “imminent threat to life, of serious bodily injury, to critical infrastructure, or of child exploitation.” The org has convened an Input Group on Law Enforcement Agency Authentication Mechanisms to consider the issue, and that group yesterday explained its progress during ICANN’s annual meeting in Bali, Indonesia. At this point, readers may have concerns that this proposal could allow law enforcement authorities to make inappropriate requests for WHOIS information. Several factors may ease such concerns. One is that representatives of domain registrars Namecheap and Verisign spoke during the session about the proposal, and both were supportive. Another is that the Input Group’s work is largely technical. Once it devises a mechanism to allow requests, other groups within ICANN dedicated to policy will work out acceptable use and related issues. This is the way internet governance gets done! Specialists work on their own bits of a problem and then collaborate to create a robust system that works at a technical level, is practical, and enforceable in multiple jurisdictions. How they’ll do it At this point, ICANN’s preferred approach is to use Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) so that authenticated users at law enforcement agencies can log into the governance org’s Registration Data Request Service (RDRS) and file requests to access non-public WHOIS info. ICANN is already testing this approach with the FBI and Interpol but is open to other authentication mechanisms to allow other agencies access RDRS. The Input Group’s aim is to publish a spec those agencies can conform to. ICANN will pass requests filed in RDRS to whichever registrar sold the domain. The registrar will have 24 hours to consider the request – or up to 72 hours for complex queries. Registrars will also be able to deny requests if they feel the query does not meet the urgency threshold. Register readers might worry that a colossal agency like the FBI could flood RDRS with requests from thousands of individual agents, swamping domain registries. ICANN’s plan is to avoid that by requiring law enforcement agencies to nominate certain personnel who are permitted to make requests, and to enforce that permission using a token shared during SAML handshakes. The content of that token is the kind of policy question that the Input Group expects others at ICANN to finalize later. Another issue under consideration is how to protect the identity of law enforcement workers who make RDRS requests, as ICANN feels they could become targets of harassment (or worse) if their requests to see WHOIS data include email addresses. ®
