RFC 3655: Redefinition of DNS Authenticated Data (AD) bit

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 4033, RFC 4034, RFC 4035.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 4033 — DNS Security Introduction and Requirements; RFC 4034 — Resource Records for the DNS Security Extensions; RFC 4035 — Protocol Modifications for the DNS Security Extensions

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document alters the specification defined in RFC 2535. Based on implementation experience, the Authenticated Data (AD) bit in the DNS header is not useful. This document redefines the AD bit such that it is only set if all answers or records proving that no answers exist in the response has been cryptographically verified or otherwise meets the server's local security policy.
