13. How IDN Works IP Domain DNS Address DNS is not support Non
ASCII Characters IDNA (Internationalizing Domain Names in
Applications)Internet Identity for All MYNIC Berhad 2011 Strictly
Private & Confidential 13
14. How IDN Works Internationalizing Domain Names in
Applications (IDNA) is a mechanism defined in 2003 for handling
internationalized domain names containing non- ASCII characters.
IDNA is a client based protocol: 1. User types in .my in for
example a browser (IDN aware browser) 2. . my gets converted to
ASCII Characters 3. IDNA conversion xn--mgbx4cd0ab.myInternet
Identity for All MYNIC Berhad 2011 Strictly Private &
Confidential 14
15. Puny Code Puny code is a sequence of ASCII characters that
all IDNs will be encoded into in order for the Domain Name System
(DNS) to understand and manage the names. It is an algorithm that
uniquely and reversibly transforms Unicode strings into the limited
character set supported by the DNS. A converted IDN contains only
ACSII characters and starts with the xn-- prefix.Internet Identity

18. IDN, IPv6 and DNSSECInternet Identity for All MYNIC Berhad
2011 Strictly Private & Confidential
19. IDN and IPv6 Since puny code will be represent IDN in DNS,
so there will be no different to ASCII domain in DNS
xn--mgbx4cd0ab.my AAAA 2001:21:e33d::23e:22 The introduction of IDN
will require more IP address space which is no more guaranteed by
the remaining IPv4 address pool expected to be depleted by 2012.
IPv6 will therefore extend the needed IP address capacity for IDN
deployment around the world.Internet Identity for All MYNIC Berhad
2011 Strictly Private & Confidential 19
20. IDN and DNSSEC Similar to IPv6, since the puny code will be
represent IDN in DNS zone, then there will be no impact when
implementing DNSSEC for IDN domain nameInternet Identity for All

Attacks or IDN-spoofing attacks that are possible due to visually
similar symbols Example 1 : ahoomoney.com => U+03D2

47. Technical Issues (Chinese) Traditional () and Simplified ()
Chinese (Gymnastics) Most Chinese users in Malaysia can read both
forms But prefer one form for writing Hong Kong, Taiwan use
Traditional Chinese China, Singapore use Simplified Chinese
Malaysia mixed? If a user in China sees .my, she might enter .my
will she find the right web site?Internet Identity for All MYNIC
Berhad 2011 Strictly Private & Confidential 47
48. Technical Issues (Chinese) 1. Since Chinese users treat the
variants as equal 2. When a Chinese IDN is registered, both the
traditional version and simplified version should be given to them.
We call this bundling Example: User wants to register .my (Stadium)
Both .my and .my will be registered to the same user at the same
time Simplified Chinese users will use the former, traditional
Chinese users will use the latter. Both works.Internet Identity for
All MYNIC Berhad 2011 Strictly Private & Confidential 48
49. Technical Issues (Chinese) What if someone entered .my ?
Could be due to copy and paste or switched to traditional input by
mistake? Since the domain is not registered in the bundle, user
will get an error 4 possible combinations .my .my .my .my If the
IDN has more variants, even more combinations. Example: has 64
combinations Infeasible to have all different combinations in DNS.
We need to educate users to avoid mixing variants.Internet Identity

allow for Tamil domain name. 3. Use Tamil Unicode table from
