Cga-tsig approach can make sure that the content transferred between resolvers 
and DNS servers is not maliciously modified by others; while this approach 
cannot prevent the Resource Record (RR) from being wrongly updated by the 
registrar (namely man-made mistakes). Then it seems that one kind of RR 
checking tool (especially for NS RR) is needed by the registrar, and I am 
wondering that have there been any such tools available yet?

I think this problem has a solution in IPv6, but I am not sure for IPv4. The 
current draft, cga-tsig proposed to automate the process of authentication of 
resolvers (DNS query resolution) and DNS servers (DNS update) in a secure 
manner. 
You can take a look on that draft.
