RFC 5205: Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Domain Name System (DNS) Extensions

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 8005.

Current version: RFC 8005 — Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Domain Name System (DNS) Extension

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

This document specifies a new resource record (RR) for the Domain Name System (DNS), and how to use it with the Host Identity Protocol (HIP). This RR allows a HIP node to store in the DNS its Host Identity (HI, the public component of the node public-private key pair), Host Identity Tag (HIT, a truncated hash of its public key), and the Domain Names of its rendezvous servers (RVSs). This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
