Introduction Compliance to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regulations is required in many jurisdictions worldwide. This specification defines the Anti-Money Laundering Methods (aml) claim and values for it for declaring what Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) methods were employed. It also creates a registry for Anti-Money Laundering Methods Values and initializes the registry with the values defined in this specification. While this claim and values are general purpose and can be used in any JSON Web Token (JWT) , one use case for them is use in KYAPay tokens .

Conventions and Definitions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

Anti-Money Laundering Methods This section defines the "aml" (Anti-Money Laundering Methods) claim and values used with it to indicate that particular Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism methods were used. In many ways, this parallels the "amr" (Authentication Methods References) claim defined in . Like "amr", "aml" is a JWT claim whose value is an array that lists a set of methods that were used, in this case, as anti-money laundering methods, rather than authentication method references.

"aml" (Anti-Money Laundering Methods) Claim The "aml" (Anti-Money Laundering Methods) claim is a JSON array of case-sensitive strings that are identifiers for anti-money laundering methods used. For instance, values might indicate that both sanctions screening and watchlist screening methods were used. Values used in the "aml" claim SHOULD be from those registered in the IANA "Anti-Money Laundering Methods" registry established by ; parties using this claim will need to agree upon the meanings of any unregistered values used, which may be context specific.

Anti-Money Laundering Method Values The following Anti-Money Laundering Method values are defined by this specification.

"ofac" (OFAC Compliance) Method

ofac:

OFAC Compliance, as described in

"sanc" (Sanctions Screening) Method

sanc:

Sanctions Screening, as described in

"watch" (Watchlist Screening) Method

watch:

Watchlist Screening, as described in

"pep" (Politically Exposed Persons Screening) Method

pep:

Politically Exposed Persons Screening, as described in

"adv" (Adverse Media Screening) Method

adv:

Adverse Media Screening, as described in

Security Considerations The security considerations defined in JSON Web Token (JWT) apply to this specification.

Privacy Considerations The privacy considerations defined in JSON Web Token (JWT) apply to this specification.

IANA Considerations

JSON Web Token Claims Registration This specification registers the following Claim in the IANA "JSON Web Token Claims" established by .

"aml" Claim

• Claim Name: aml
• Claim Description: Anti-Money Laundering Methods
• Change Controller: Michael B. Jones - michael_b_jones@hotmail.com
• Reference: of this specification

Anti-Money Laundering Methods Registry This specification establishes the IANA "Anti-Money Laundering Methods" registry for aml claim array element values. The registry records the Anti-Money Laundering Method value and a reference to the specification that defines it. This specification registers the Anti-Money Laundering Method values defined in . Values are registered on an Expert Review basis after a three-week review period on the <jwt-reg-review@ietf.org> mailing list, on the advice of one or more Designated Experts. To increase potential interoperability, the Designated Experts are requested to encourage registrants to provide the location of a publicly accessible specification defining the values being registered, so that their intended usage can be more easily understood. Registration requests sent to the mailing list for review should use an appropriate subject (e.g., "Request to register Anti-Money Laundering Method value: example"). Within the review period, the Designated Experts will either approve or deny the registration request, communicating this decision to the review list and IANA. Denials should include an explanation and, if applicable, suggestions as to how to make the request successful. Registration requests that are undetermined for a period longer than 21 days can be brought to the IESG's attention (using the iesg@ietf.org mailing list) for resolution. IANA must only accept registry updates from the Designated Experts and should direct all requests for registration to the review mailing list. It is suggested that the same Designated Experts evaluate these registration requests as those who evaluate registration requests for the IANA "Authentication Method Reference Values" registry . Criteria that should be applied by the Designated Experts include determining whether the proposed registration duplicates existing functionality; whether it is likely to be of general applicability or whether it is useful only for a single application; whether the value is actually being used; and whether the registration description is clear.

Registration Template

Anti-Money Laundering Method Name:

The name requested (e.g., "sanc") for the authentication method or family of closely related authentication methods. Because a core goal of this specification is for the resulting representations to be compact, it is RECOMMENDED that the name be short -- that is, not to exceed 8 characters without a compelling reason to do so. To facilitate interoperability, the name must use only printable ASCII characters excluding double quote ('"') and backslash ('\') (the Unicode characters with code points U+0021, U+0023 through U+005B, and U+005D through U+007E). This name is case sensitive. Names may not match other registered names in a case-insensitive manner unless the Designated Experts state that there is a compelling reason to allow an exception.

Anti-Money Laundering Method Description:

Brief description of the Anti-Money Laundering Method (e.g., "Watchlist Screening").

Change Controller:

For Standards Track RFCs, state "IETF". For others, give the name of the responsible party. Other details (e.g., postal address, email address, home page URI) may also be included.

Specification Document(s):

Reference to the document or documents that specify the parameter, preferably including URIs that can be used to retrieve copies of the documents. An indication of the relevant sections may also be included but is not required.

References Normative References JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. The claims in a JWT are encoded as a JSON object that is used as the payload of a JSON Web Signature (JWS) structure or as the plaintext of a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) structure, enabling the claims to be digitally signed or integrity protected with a Message Authentication Code (MAC) and/or encrypted. Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury Swift persona Moody's Thomson Reuters In many standards track documents several words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized. This document defines these words as they should be interpreted in IETF documents. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. RFC 2119 specifies common key words that may be used in protocol specifications. This document aims to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings. Informative References Many protocols make use of identifiers consisting of constants and other well-known values. Even after a protocol has been defined and deployment has begun, new values may need to be assigned (e.g., for a new option type in DHCP, or a new encryption or authentication transform for IPsec). To ensure that such quantities have consistent values and interpretations across all implementations, their assignment must be administered by a central authority. For IETF protocols, that role is provided by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). In order for IANA to manage a given namespace prudently, it needs guidelines describing the conditions under which new values can be assigned or when modifications to existing values can be made. If IANA is expected to play a role in the management of a namespace, IANA must be given clear and concise instructions describing that role. This document discusses issues that should be considered in formulating a policy for assigning values to a namespace and provides guidelines for authors on the specific text that must be included in documents that place demands on IANA. This document obsoletes RFC 2434. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
