Abstract

A system and method for establishing a chain of trust from a registrant to a registry. A registrant request to a registrar to change a domain name record includes at least one registrant factor, such as a one time password. The registrar can formulate an extended EPP command that includes the factor to effectuate the change and send it to a registry. The registry can verify the at least one factor using at least one validation server. If the factor is successfully verified, the EPP can be processed by the registry. If the factor is not verified, the EPP command may not be processed and an error message may be generated and sent to the registrar.
