The term “KASP” for “Key-and-signing-policy” has been around in the DNS 
community for many years. I remember first hearing that term when .SE (Sweden) 
started signing their TLD in 2005. 

In the beginning of DNSSEC deployment, the KASP was a document that defines how 
DNSSEC is implemented for a given DNS zone (that is still a good practice, 
writing down DNSSEC algorithms used, key sizes and rollover intervals etc). 

In the last years, improvements in the DNS server software (OpenDNSSEC, Knot 
DNS, but also BIND 9) made it possible to define the KASP in the software, 
which makes it easier to match the KASP document with the KASP configuration on 
the server itself.

From my view, this is a good development.

Greetings

Carsten
