The IESG has received a request from the DNS Extensions WG (dnsext) to consider the following document: - 'Signaling Cryptographic Algorithm Understanding in DNSSEC' <draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-algo-signal-09.txt> as Proposed Standard
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 i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-04-03. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) were developed to provide origin authentication and integrity protection for DNS data by using digital signatures. These digital signatures can be generated using different algorithms. This draft sets out to specify a way for validating end-system resolvers to signal to a server which digital signature and hash algorithms they support. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-algo-signal/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-algo-signal/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
