Spatial Registry Architecture & Protocol Standards
Built for high-frequency geographic queries and zero-downtime reliability. Supporting RFC 5730-5734 (EPP), RFC 7480-7484 (RDAP), and Ed25519 DNSSEC.
EPP Provisioning Gateway
High-throughput Extensible Provisioning Protocol server with TLS 1.3 encryption. Sub-second domain create, renew, transfer, and DNSSEC key updates for accredited registrars.
Modern RDAP Directory
RESTful JSON-based Registration Data Access Protocol replacing legacy port-43 WHOIS. Granular privacy controls, GDPR compliance, and authenticated role-based query access.
DNSSEC Root Integrity
Next-generation elliptic curve cryptography guaranteeing that geospatial coordinates, bounding polygons, and digital twin endpoints cannot be spoofed or intercepted.
