This section includes material focused on parental controls and a proposal for a protocol to enable various parental control systems to interconnect.
PARCEP (Parental Control Networking Protocol) is a proposed technical standard for a protocol that will enable parental control software from multiple vendors to communicate and cooperate. It is inspired by efforts such as the IETF's MIMI working group (a protocol and standards effort for messaging interoperability) .
The following paper was distributed to participants of a workshop co-hosted by the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), Technical Architecture Group and Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C). The workshop discussed age-based restrictions on content access.
The following slides were presented during a side meeting during IETF 124. They were used to outline the PARCEP proposal for a network protocol to enable parental control software to interconnect.
