Title: Signaling Cryptographic Algorithm Understanding in DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) Author: S. Crocker, S. Rose Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: July 2013 Mailbox: st...@shinkuro.com, scottr.n...@gmail.com Pages: 9 Characters: 18353 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-algo-signal-10.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6975.txt The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) were developed to provide origin authentication and integrity protection for DNS data by using digital signatures. These digital signatures can be generated using different algorithms. This document specifies a way for validating end-system resolvers to signal to a server which digital signature and hash algorithms they support. The extensions allow the signaling of new algorithm uptake in client code to allow zone administrators to know when it is possible to complete an algorithm rollover in a DNSSEC-signed zone. This document is a product of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
