Nameprep: A Stringprep Profile for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)

@article{Hoffman2003NameprepAS,
  title={Nameprep: A Stringprep Profile for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)},
  author={Paul E. Hoffman and Marc Blanchet},
  journal={RFC},
  year={2003},
  volume={3491},
  pages={1-7}
}
This document describes how to prepare internationalized domain name (IDN) labels in order to increase the likelihood that name input and name comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users throughout the world. This profile of the stringprep protocol is used as part of a suite of on-the-wire protocols for internationalizing the Domain Name System (DNS).

Extensions to DNS for Supporting Internationalized Domain Names

This paper proposes an extension to the existing DNS protocol for supporting internationalized domain names while maintaining interoperability and compatibility with the DNS, and uses a UTF-8 encoding scheme as a wire format since it allows ASCII names to remain intact.

IDN server proxy architecture for Internationalized Domain Name resolution and experiences with providing Web services

This article presents the results of testing Octopus IDN lookup functions as well as the experiences in providing CDN Web services, which help service providers understand potential problems when non-ASCII domain names are used and the best common practice at this stage.

Internationalized Domain Names for Applications (IDNA) Review for New Unicode Versions

This document makes adjustments to the review procedure based on experience and updates IDNA, specifically RFC 5892, to reflect those changes and clarify the various relationships involved.

A Reexamination of Internationalized Domain Names: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

This work performs by far the most comprehensive measurement study using IDNs discovered from 56 TLD zone files and suggests the development of IDN needs to be re-examined to address issues like its inadequate usage and new attack surfaces.

National and Local Characters for DNS Top Level Domain (TLD) Names

This document reviews some of the motivations for "multilingual" TLDs, several suggestions that have been made to provide needed functionality, and the constraints that the DNS imposes, and suggests an alternative, local translation that may solve a superset of the problem while avoiding protocol changes, serious deployment delays, and other difficulties.
