    Norid: Glossary 06-01-18 04(18

    Glossary
    The most common terms that are used when handling domain
    names.

    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Æ Ø Å
    ACE
    ASCII Compatible Encoding is an international standard for converting
    national characters, e.g æ,ø and å, to international standard characters
    (ASCII characters) which are allowed in domain names.

    Applicant declaration form


    Part of the contract between Norid and the applicant, which verifies that the
    holder knows and complies with the domain name policy for .no and that he
    takes full responsibility if the domain registration violates the rights of a
    third party.

    DNS
    An Internet service which translates between domain names and IP
    addresses. It's because of DNS that we can use human readable names, for
    example www.uninett.no, for finding IP based services.

    DNSSEC
    DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) is a security extension to the domain
    name system (DNS). DNSSEC protected domains are cryptographically
    signed, and this makes it possible to check that the reply to a domain
    lookup comes from the correct source of origin, and that the lookup remains
    unchanged. The purpose of DNSSEC is among others to prevent scammers
    from falsifying lookups and thereby take a user to a website that the
    scammer controls.

    Domain name, domain


    All computers on the Internet have their own IP address, which consists of
    numbers. The domain name system connects domain names to the IP
    addresses so users do not have to remember a long string of numbers.

    Domain name holder, holder


    An organization or individual which has registered one or more domain
    names.

    Draupne
    Project name for Norid's registry system developed 2007-2010. More about

    the registry system.

    EPP
    Extensible Provisioning Protocol, a communication protocol designed for
    registry/registrar communication specifically. EPP is used in the registry
    system for .no.

    Handle, Norid handle


    A handle is a unique label for an object in a Whois database.

    IDN
    Internationalized Domain Name, a special type of domain name containing
    national characters such as æ, ø or å. It is used by translating it into what's
    called the ACE form, an alphanumeric representation of any character
    sequence. An example: blåbærsyltetøy.no blir becomes xn--blbrsyltety-
    y8ao3x.no.

    IP address
    used to address a computer or other unit in an IP based network. An
    example of an IP address is 158.38.130.37.

    ISP
    Internet Service Provider, a company that sells access to the Internet.

    Legal-c
    Legal contact person for the domain name holder or the registrar.

    Name server
    A computer which implements the protocol used in the Domain Name
    System, DNS.

    Norid
    The Norwegian registry for Internet domain names. Norid runs the .no
    registry and maintains the database for all Internet domains within .no.

    Object (Whois)
    When a domain is registered, several objects become associated with the
    domain, e.g an organization object and a person object. You can find the
    objects in the whois database for .no.

    PID
    Personal identifier, personal ID. A unique identification code which is used in
    place of the person's national identity number. Applications for private
    domain names are filled in with a personal identifier, not with the national
    identity number (NIN).

    Registrar
    A company which has signed a contract with Norid in order to offer
    registration and upkeep services for domain names. The registrar is the link
    between the applicant and Norid.

    Registrar ID
    Unique identification code, or “handle” for each registrar. The handle has
    the form REGxxx-NORID and can be found in the whois database.

    Subscribing to a domain
    Having the right to use a domain name.

    Tech-c
    Technical contact person for the domain name holder or the registrar.

    Ticket ID
    Each application or inquiry sent to Norid receives a unique ticket ID.

    TLD
    Top Level Domain, a letter code identifying the top level under which a
    domain is registered. There are two categories of top level domains; national
    (ccTLD), such as .no and .dk, and generic (gTLD), such as .com and .org.

    Whois
    A Whois database is a searchable database which contains all registered
    information about one or more top level domains (TLDs). Most registries for
    TLDs have a Whois service.

    Zone-c
    Zone contact for the domain name holder or the registrar. This is a technical
    contact person for the name servers of a domain who should be available in
    case there are problems with the name server configuration.
