A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS IXFR, Notification, and Dynamic Update Working
Group of the IETF.
Title : DNS Request and Transaction Signatures ( SIG(0)s )
Author(s) : D. Eastlake 3rd
Filename : draft-ietf-dnsind-sig-zero-00.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 15-Oct-99
Extensions to the Domain Name System (DNS) are described in [RFC
2535] that can provide data origin and transaction integrity and
authentication to security aware resolvers and applications through
the use of cryptographic digital signatures.
Implementation experience has indicated the need for minor but non-
interoperable changes in Request and Transaction signature resource
records ( SIG(0)s ). These changes are documented herein.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
