RFC 3658: Delegation Signer (DS) Resource Record (RR)

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

The delegation signer (DS) resource record (RR) is inserted at a zone cut (i.e., a delegation point) to indicate that the delegated zone is digitally signed and that the delegated zone recognizes the indicated key as a valid zone key for the delegated zone. The DS RR is a modification to the DNS Security Extensions definition, motivated by operational considerations. The intent is to use this resource record as an explicit statement about the delegation, rather than relying on inference. This document defines the DS RR, gives examples of how it is used and describes the implications on resolvers. This change is not backwards compatible with RFC 2535. This document updates RFC 1035, RFC 2535, RFC 3008 and RFC 3090.
