The IESG has received a request from the DNS Extensions WG (dnsext) to consider the following document: - 'Applicability Statement: DNS Security (DNSSEC) DNSKEY Algorithm Implementation Status' <draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-algo-imp-status-03.txt> as Best Current Practice
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2012-07-11. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) requires the use of cryptographic algorithm suites for generating digital signatures over DNS data. There is currently an IANA registry for these algorithms that lacks the recommended implementation status of each algorithm. This document provides an applicability statement on algorithm implementation status for DNSSEC component software. This document lists each algorithm's status based on the current reference. In the case that an algorithm is specified without an implementation status, this document assigns one. This document updates RFCs 2536, 2539, 3110, 4034, 4398, 5155, 5702, and 5933. Note that this document responds to the objections raised against draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-registry-fixes-08; the earlier document was split into this document and draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-registry-update. The implementation status information published in this document was originally published in draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-registry-fixes-08, which made a novel and controversial use of the IANA registry. That approach was too controversial, so this document publishes that information separately. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-algo-imp-status/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-algo-imp-status/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
