Abstract:
There are several problems that arise in the standard
Registrant/Registrar/Registry model when the operator of a zone is
neither the Registrant nor the Registrar for the delegation.
Historically the issues have been minor, and limited to difficulty
guiding the Registrant through the initial changes to the NS records
for the delegation. As this is usually a one time activity when the
operator first takes charge of the zone it has not been treated as a
serious issue.
When the domain on the other hand uses DNSSEC it necessary to make
regular (sometimes annual) changes to the delegation, in order to
track KSK rollover, by updating the delegation's DS record(s). Under
the current model this is prone to delays and errors. Even when the
Registrant has outsourced the operation of DNS to a third party the
registrant still has to be in the loop to update the DS record.
There is a need for a simple protocol that allows a third party DNS
operator to update DS and NS records in a trusted manner for a
delegation without involving the registrant for each operation. This
same protocol can be used by Registrants.
The protocol described in this draft is REST based, and when used
through an authenticated channel can be used to establish the DNSSEC
Initial Trust (to turn on DNSSEC or bootstrap DNSSEC). Once DNSSEC
trust is established this channel can be used to trigger maintenance
of delegation records such as DS, NS, and glue records. The protocol
is kept as simple as possible.
