A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Limiting the Scope of the KEY Resource Record
Author(s) : D. Massey, S. Rose
Filename : draft-ietf-dnsext-restrict-key-for-dnssec-01.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 23-Jan-02
This document limits the KEY resource record to only DNSSEC
keys. The original KEY resource record used sub-typing
to store both DNSSEC keys and arbitrary application keys.
Storing both DNSSEC and application keys in one record was
a mistake. This document removes application keys from
the KEY record by redefining the Protocol Octet field in
the KEY RDATA. As a result of removing application keys,
all but one of the flags in the KEY record become unnecessary
and are removed. Three existing application key sub-types
are changed to historic, but the format of the KEY record
is not changed. This document updates RFC 2535.

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.
