  19. Need of IDNs Need of IDNs � Domain name system (DNS) is in ASCII, i.e. Domain name system (DNS) is in ASCII, i.e. � Latin script Latin script � Makes it difficult to access internet for people Makes it difficult to access internet for people � who do not understand English or Latin script who do not understand English or Latin script www.crulp.org 19

  20. IDNs IDNs � Basic reason for that is the internet addresses Basic reason for that is the internet addresses � map into 7- -bit ASCII standard bit ASCII standard map into 7 � We can not change the overall existing system. We can not change the overall existing system. � � The solution is to add layer that works on top of The solution is to add layer that works on top of � existing system existing system � IDN is any domain name consisting of labels IDN is any domain name consisting of labels � which can be converted to ASCII format which can be converted to ASCII format � Initial set of protocols defined in 2003 Initial set of protocols defined in 2003 � www.crulp.org 20

  21. IDNs IDNs � A layer that takes the address in local languages A layer that takes the address in local languages � and converts that into ASCII format and converts that into ASCII format � DNS continues to resolve ASCII format DNS continues to resolve ASCII format � addresses addresses � IDNs may be resolved at the User IDNs may be resolved at the User’ ’s computer s computer � www.crulp.org 21
