Title: Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) Challenge for
Persistent DNS TXT Record Validation

Abstract:
This document specifies "dns-persist-01", a new validation method for
the Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol.
This method allows a Certification Authority (CA) to verify control
over a domain by confirming the presence of a persistent DNS TXT
record containing CA and account identification information. This
method is particularly suited for environments where traditional
challenge methods are impractical, such as multi-tenant hosting
platforms, enterprise DNS environments, and IoT deployments. The
validation method is designed with a strong focus on security and
robustness, incorporating widely adopted industry best practices for
persistent domain control validation. This design aims to make it
suitable for Certification Authorities operating under various policy
environments, including those that align with the CA/Browser Forum
Baseline Requirements.
