Verisign has released a preview version of the Launch EPP SDK.  This SDK fully implements http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tan-epp-launchphase-05 and includes the following features that can be of use to multiple stakeholders:

  1.  Packet encoder / decoder (CODEC) that will encode the XML from objects and decode the objects from XML.
  2.  Creation and validation code for signed marks (SMD) using an XML signed mark or a base64 encoded signed mark.
  3.  A client API that utilizes the packet encoder / decoder (CODEC) along with other code (e.g. transport, configuration, XML parsing pooling) to interface with an EPP server.
  4.  An EPP Stub Server that includes pre-defined responses to support the client tests.  The EPP Stub Server behavior can be easily customized to suite your testing needs.

The Launch EPP SDK includes support for RFC 5730, 5731, 5732, 5733, and 5734.

Verisign will be integrating the preview of the Launch Phase EPP Extension into its NameStore / SRS Bundle EPP SDK, at which time updates will not be made to the Launch EPP SDK.

The Launch EPP SDK is open source, requires Java 6 or higher, and below are the distributions and documents:
