I see nothing on the resource https://secure.isc.org/ops/dlv/index.php that
tells us that there is a periodic rollover of the key-signing-key for the
DLV.  I expect that the zone-signing-key ("256") and ONLY that key will be
changed every month.  The key-signing-key shouldn't be changed very often
(if at all).  Remember that this is a transitional mechanism that should
only be in place for a short number of years.

If isc.org is going to change it annually or so, fine, but then let them
publish about 4 key-signing-keys, even if only one is actively used.  That
would be 4 years worth of keys, which should be enough to cover 4+ years -
long enough for ICANN to get off their asses and sign the root zone.


Might using the wrong key-signing-key as a trusted key be the cause of the
assertion failure I reported in a separate thread?
