Abstract

   Electronic commerce frequently requires a substantial exchange of
   information in order to complete a purchase or other transaction,
   especially the first time the parties communicate. A standard set of
   hierarchicly organized payment related information fields in an XML
   syntax are defined as the second version of an Electronic Commerce
   Modeling Language (ECML) so that this task can be more easily
   automated, for example by wallet software.

INTERNET-DRAFT            ECML v2 Specification               April 2002


1. Introduction

   Today, numerous partries are successfully conducting business on the
   Internet using ad hoc fields and forms. The data formats and
   structure can vary considerably from one party to another. Where
   forms are filled out manually, many users find the diversity
   confusing and the process of manually filling in these forms to be
   tedious and error prone.

   Software tools including electronic wallets can help this situation.
   Such tools can assist in conducting online transactions by storing
   billing, shipping, payment, preference, and similar information and
   using this information to automatically complete the data sets
   required by interactions.  For examplte, software that fills out
   forms has been successfully built into browsers, as proxy servers, as
   helper applications to browsers, as stand-alone applications, as
   browser plug-ins, and as server-based applications.  But the
   proliferation of more automated transactions software has been
   hampered by the lack of standards.

   ECML (Electronic Commerce Modeling Language) provides a set of
   hierarchical payment oriented data structures that will enable
   automated software, including electronic wallets, from multiple
   vendors to supply and query for needed data in a more uniform manner.

   Version 2.0 extends Verion 1.0 [RFC 2706] and 1.1 [RFC 3106] as
   described in the Appendix to this document.  These enhancements
   include support for additional payment mechanisms and transaction
   information and use of XML as the exemplar syntax.

   This is an open standard. ECML is designed to be simple.



1.2 Relationship to Other Standards

   The ECML fields were initially derived from the W3C P3P base data
   schema [P3P BASE] by the ECML Alliance [ECML].  Technical development
   and change control of ECML has now been trasnfered to the IETF.  In
   version 2, ECML is extended by the fields in a W3C P3P Note related
   to eCommerce [P3P ECOM], by [ISO 8583], and by other sources.  Its
   primary form will be an XML syntax.

   ECML Version 2.0 is not a replacement or alternative to TLS/SSL [RFC
   2246], SET [SET], EMV [EMV], XML [XML], or IOTP [RFC 2801]. These are
   important standards that provide functionality such as
   confidentiality, non-repudiatable transactions, automatable payment
   scheme selection, and smart card support.

2. Field Definitions and DTD

   The ECML Standard is the definition and naming of a hierarcically
   structured set of fields and the provision of an XML syntax for their
   transmition.  These fields can be encoded in other syntaxes and
   transmitted via a variety of protocols.

   Section 2.1 below lists and describes the fields and Section 2.2
   provides an XML DTD for use with the fields.

   To conform to this standard, field names MUST be structured and named
   as closely to the structure and naming listed below as practical
   given the syntax and transaction protocol in use.  (Note: this does
   not impose any restriction on human visible labeling of fields, just
   on their names as used in communication.)



2.1 Field List and Descriptions

   The fields are listed below along with the minimum data entry size to
   allow.  Implementations are permitted to allow larger data sizes,
   where that makes sense, and for some application may need to allow
   for larger data sizes. Note that these fields are hierarchically
   organized as indicated in this table by the embedded underscore ("_")
   characters.  Appropriate data transmission mechanisms may use this to
   request and send aggregates, such as Ecom_Payment_Card_ExpDate to
   encompass all the date components or Ecom_ShipTo to encompass all the
   ship to components that a consumer is willing to provide.  The
   labeling, marshalling, unmarshalling of the components of such
   aggregates depends on the data transfer protocol used.  The
   RECOMMENDED syntax is XML as described in Section 2.2.



2.1.1 Field List

   IMPORTANT NOTE: "MIN" in the table below is the MINIMUM DATA SIZE TO
         ALLOW FOR ON DATA ENTRY.  It is NOT the minimum size for valid
         contents of the field and merchant software should, in most
         cases, be prepared to receive a longer or shorter value.
         Merchant dealing with areas where, for example, the
         state/province name or phone number is longer than the "Min"
         given below must obviously permit longer data entry.  In some
         cases, however, there is a maximum size that makes sense and
         where this is the case, it is documented in a Note for the
         field.

         The following fields are used to communicate from the customer
         to the merchant:

   IMPORTANT NOTE: "MIN" in the table above is the MINIMUM DATA SIZE TO

         contents of the field and merchant software should, in most cases, be
         prepared to receive a longer or shorter value.  Merchant dealing with
         areas where, for example, the state/province name or phone number is
         longer than the "Min" given below must obviously permit longer data
         entry.  In some cases, however, there is a maximum size that makes
         sense and this is documented in a Note for the field.



2.1.2 Field Foot Notes

   ( 1) For example: Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr. This field is commonly not used.

   ( 2) May also be used for middle initial.

   ( 3) For example: Ph.D., Jr. (Junior), 3rd, Esq. (Esquire). This field
   is commonly not used.

   ( 4) Address lines must be filled in the order line1, then line2, and
   last line3.

   ( 5) 2 characters are the minimum for the US and Canada,
   other countries may require longer fields.
   For the US use 2 character US Postal state abbreviation.

   ( 6) Minimum field lengths for Postal Code will vary based on
   international market served.  Use 5 character or 5+4 ZIP for the US


J. Parsons, D. Eastlake 3rd                                     [Page 7]


INTERNET-DRAFT            ECML v2 Specification               April 2002


   and 6 character postal code for Canada.  The size given, 14, is
   believed to be the maximum required anywhere in the world.

   ( 7) Use [ISO 3166] standard two letter codes. See
   <http://www.din.de/gremien/nas/nabd/iso3166ma/codlstp1.html> for country
   names.

   ( 8) 10 digits are the minimum for numbers local to the North American
   Numbering Plan (<http://www.nanpa.com>: US, Canada and a number of
   smaller Caribbean and Pacific nations (but not Cuba)), other countries
   may require longer fields.  Telephone numbers are complicated by
   differing international access codes, variant punctuation of area/city
   codes within countries, confusion caused by the fact that the
   international access code in the NANP region is usually the same as
   the "country code" for that area (1), etc.  It will probably be
   necessary to use heuristics or human examination based on the
   telephone number and addresses given to figure out how to actually
   call a customer. It is recommend that an "x" be placed before
   extension numbers.

   ( 9) For example:  jsmith@example.com

   (10) The name of the cardholder.

   (11) Use the first 4 letters of the association name:

           AMER   American Express
           BANK   Bankcard (Australia)
           DC     DC (Japan)
           DINE   Diners Club
           DISC   Discover
           JCB    JCB
           MAST   Mastercard
           NIKO   Nikos (Japan)
           SAIS   Saison (Japan)
           UC     UC (Japan)
           UCAR   UCard (Taiwan)
           VISA   Visa

   (12) Includes the check digit at end but no spaces or hyphens [ISO
   7812].  The Min given, 19, is the longest number permitted under the
   ISO standard.

   (13) An additional cardholder verification number printed on the card
   (but not embossed or recorded on the magnetic stripe) such as
   American Express' CIV, MasterCard's CVC2, and Visa's CVV2 values.

   (14) The day of the month. Values: 1-31.  A leading zero is ignored
   so, for example, 07 is valid for the seventh day of the month.



J. Parsons, D. Eastlake 3rd                                     [Page 8]


INTERNET-DRAFT            ECML v2 Specification               April 2002


   (15) The month of the year.  Jan - 1, Feb - 2, March - 3, etc.;
   Values: 1-12.  A leading zero is ignored so, for example, 07 is valid
   for July.

   (16) The value in the wallet cell is always four digits, e.g., 1999,
   2000, 2001, ...

   (17) A space separated list of protocols available in connection with
   the specified card.  Initial list of case insensitive tokens:
           none

           iotp
           echeck
           simcard
           phoneid
   "Set" indicates usable with SET protocol (i.e., is in a SET wallet)
   but does not have a SET certificate.  "Setcert" indicates same but
   does have a set certificate.  "iotp" indicates the IOTP protocol [RFC
   2801] is supported at the customer.  "echeck" indicates that the
   eCheck protocol [eCheck] is supported at the customer.  "simcard"
   indicates use the transaction instrument built into a Cellphone
   subscriber for identification.  "phoneid" indicates use the
   transaction instrument of a phone bill instrument.  "None" indicates
   that automatic field fill is operating but there is no SET wallet or
   the card is not entered in any SET wallet.

   (18) A unique order ID generated by the consumer software.

   (19) The user ID and password fields are used in cases where the user
   has a pre-established account with the merchant.

   (20) URI indicating version of this set of fields.  Usually a hidden
   field.  Equal to "http://www.ecml.org/version/1.1" for this version.

   (21) A string to identify the source and version of the form fill
   software that is acting on behalf of the user.  Should contain
   company and/or product name and version.  Example "Wallets Inc.,
   SuperFill, v42.7".  Usually a hidden field.

   (22) A flag to indicate that this web-page/aggregate is the final one
   for this transaction.  Usually a hidden field.

   (23) Merchant domain name such as www.merchant.example.  This is
   usually a hidden field.

   (24) Gateway transaction processor who is actually accepting the
   payment on behalf of the merchant in home domain such as
   www.processor.example.  This is usually a hidden field.

   (25) A Transaction identification string whose format is specific to
   the processor.  This is usually a hidden field.

   (26) A URL that can be invoke to inquire about the transaction.  This
   is usually a hidden field.

   (27) The amount of the transaction in ISO currency format.  This is
   two integer numbers with a period in between but no other currency
   marks (such as a $ dollar sign).  This is usually a hidden field.

   (28) This is the three letter ISO currency code.  For example, for US
   dollars it is USD.  This is usually a hidden field.

   (29) ISO Transaction date.  This is usually a hidden field.

   (30) The type of the transaction (either debit or credit) if known.
   This is usually a hidden field.

   (31) The signature of the encoded certificate.  This is usually a
   hidden field.

   (32) The Receipt To fields are used when the Bill To entity,
   location, or address and the Receipto entity, location, or address
   are different.  For example, when using some forms of Corporate
   Purchasing Cards or Agent Purchasing Cards, the individual card
   holder would be in the Receipt To fields and the corporate or other
   owner would be in the Bill To fields.

   (*) TBD.



2.2 ECML v2 XML DTD

   For internationalization of [XML] ECML, use the general XML character
   encoding provisions, which mandate support of UTF-8 and UTF-16 and
   permit support of other character sets, and the xml:lang attribute
   which may be used to specify language information.

3. Usage Notes for ECML v2

   This section provides a general usage guide for ECML v2.



3.1 Presentation of the Fields

   This standard does not constrain the order or completeness of
   communication of or query for these fields.

   Some parties may wish to to provide or ask for more information, some
   less by omitting fields.  Some may ask for the information they want
   in one interaction or web page, others may ask for parts of the
   information at different times in multiple interactions or different
   web pages. For example, it is common to ask for "ship to" information
   earlier, so shipping cost can be computed, before the payment method
   information.  Some parties may require that all the information they
   request be provided while other make much information optional.  Etc.

   Every element may be flagged as a query or assertion by including the
   optional Mode attribute with the value "Query" or "Assert"
   respectively. The Mode attribute effects all descendant elements
   until overridden by a lower level element with a Mode attribute.
   Thus it is early to indicate that all of the elements in an ECML
   structure are present as queries or assertions.

   Query elements may have data content which should be interpreted as a
   default value to be returned if no better value is known.

   There is no way with Version 2.0 of ECML to indicate what query
   fields the party considers mandatory [shoudl this be?].  From the
   point of view of software, all fields queried are optional to
   complete.  However, a party may give an error or re-present a request
   for information if some field it requires is not completed, just as
   it may if a field is completed in a manner it considers erroneous.



3.2 Methods and Flow of Setting the Fields

   There are a variety of methods of communication possible between the
   parties by which one can indicate what fields it wants the other to
   provide.  Probably the easiest to use for currently deployed mass
   software is as fields in an [HTML] form.  Other possibilities are to
   use an [XML] exchange, the IOTP Authenticate transaction [RFC 2801],
   or proprietary protocols.

   So that browser software can tell what version it is dealing with, it
   is REQUIRED that the Ecom_SchemaVersion field be included in every


J. Parsons, D. Eastlake 3rd                                    [Page 16]


INTERNET-DRAFT            ECML v2 Specification               April 2002


   transactions when ECML is being used on the web.  Ecom_SchemaVersion
   must appear on every web page that has any Ecom fields and is usually
   a hidden field.

   User action or the appearance of the Ecom_SchemaVersion field are
   examples of triggers that could be used to initiate a facility
   capable of providing information in response to an ECML based query
   or utilizing information from ECML assertions.  Because some web
   software may require user activation, there should be at least one
   user visible Ecom field on every web page with any Ecom fields
   present when ECML is used via the web.

   Because, under some circumstances, communications can proceed very
   slowly, it may not be clear to an automated processing function when
   it is finished receiving ECML fields on a web page or the like.  For
   this reason, it is recommended that the Ecom_SchemaVersion field be
   the last Ecom field on a web page.

   Transfer or requests for information can extend over several
   interactions or web pages.  Without further provision, a facility
   could either require re-starting on each page or possibly violate or
   appear to violate privacy by continuing to provide personal data
   beyond with end of the transaction with a particular business.  For
   this reason the Ecom_TransactionComplete field, which is normally
   hidden, is provided.  It is RECOMMENDED that it appear on the last
   interaction or web page involved in a transaction, just before an
   Ecom_SchemaVersion field, so that multi-interaction automated logic
   can know when to stop if it chooses to check for this field.

4. Security and Privacy Considerations

   The information called for by many of these fields is sensitive and
   should be secured if being sent over the public Internet or through
   other channels where it can be observed.  Mechanisms for such
   protection are not specified herein but channel encryption such as
   TLS [RFC 2246] or IPSec [RFC 2411] would be appropriate in many
   cases.

   When information is being requested from a user, their control over
   release of such information is needed to protect their privacy.

   Software that is installed on a shared or public terminal should be
   configurable such that memory of any sensitive or individual identity
   information is fully disabled.  This is vital to protect the privacy
   of library patrons, students, and customers using public terminals,
   and children who might, for example, use a form on a public terminal
   without realizing that their information is being stored.

   When sensitive or individual identification information is stored,
   the operator/user should have an option to protect the information
   with a password, without which the information will be unavailable,
   even to someone who has access to the file(s) in which it is being
   stored.  This might also allow for a convenient method for multiple
   users to use their own ECML information from the same software.

   Any multi-page/screen or other multi-aggregate field fill in or data
   provision mechanism should check for the Ecom_TransactionComplete
   field and cease automated fill when it is encountered until fill is
   further authorized.
