Dear Colleagues, 

Updated version minor changes, fixed spelling, added text on “client side DANE 
lookups” without milestones at this point. 
Reworded couple of sentences for readability. 
Attached are both full text of the charter and diff off prior version to this 
version.

Description of Working Group:

Objective:

    The DANE WG will process documents that describe how to
    incorporate DANE and DANE-like functionality in protocols, and
    mechanisms to facilitate adoption of this functionality. The DANE
    working group will also assist other working groups with adding
    DANE functionality to their work. In addition the working group
    will monitor and provide guidance to operators and tool developers.
    When work on currently chartered documents is complete the WG
    may re-charter if sufficiently pressing new work is identified.
    DANE is not intended to be a long-lived catch-all WG
    for all PKI in DNS issues and so will generally not adopt new
    work items without re-chartering.

Problem Statement:

    The DANE working group has developed a framework for securely
    retrieving keying information from the DNS [RFC6698]. This
    framework allows secure storing and looking up server public key
    information in the DNS. This provides a binding between a domain
    name providing a particular service and the key that can be used
    to establish encrypted connection to that service.  

    By requiring DNSSEC protection for the look-up of the public key
    information, DANE leverages the integrity protection provided by
    DNSSEC to enable secure discovery of keying information. Operators
    wanting to take advantage of DANE for their services must turn on
    DNSSEC signing on the zones used in finding the services. Using
    DNS this way, bindings of keys to domains are asserted by the entities that 
    operate the DNS for that domain, not by external entities. 

    The DANE mechanisms provide flexibility in how the keying
    information is presented. DANE supports both Certificates and raw
    keys, further more Certificates and raw keys can be either the full
    key or a hash of the key. 
    The group will work on documenting the different approaches to use
    DANE keying, and the security implication of each. In addition
    the WG may develop a framework(s) to facilitate the lookup "client" DANE 
    records for authorization/authentication purposes. 

    The group may also create documents that describe how protocol
    entities can discover and validate these bindings in the execution
    of specific applications. This work would be done in coordination
    with the IETF Working Groups responsible for the protocols. 

    The group may in addition encourage interoperability testing and document
    the results of such testing.

hosts with keys for TLS and DTLS
