The Domain Name System (DNS) has become a critical operational part
of the Internet infrastructure yet it has no strong security
mechanisms to assure data integrity or authentication.  Extensions to
the DNS are described that provide these services to security aware
resolvers or applications through the use of cryptographic digital
signatures.  This document is a product of the DNS Security Working
Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

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.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@CNRI.RESTON.VA.US.  Requests to be
added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@ISI.EDU.
