RFC 7958: DNSSEC Trust Anchor Publication for the Root Zone

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 9718.

Current version: RFC 9718 — DNSSEC Trust Anchor Publication for the Root Zone

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

The root zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) has been cryptographically signed using DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC). In order to obtain secure answers from the root zone of the DNS using DNSSEC, a client must configure a suitable trust anchor. This document describes the format and publication mechanisms IANA has used to distribute the DNSSEC trust anchors.
