Hi Rick,

I understand that the KSK stays a while in the zone file so that key sets signed with this key can expire from caches. But why is the KSK in retired state still used to sign the DNSKEY set ? Looking further in to it I also see that KSK`s in the publish state produce RRSIGS for the Keyset. Problably this is by design. For ZSK`s only the one in the ready state is used for signing. But probably all the KSK`s, independently of state, produce a DNSKEY RRSIG.

Hi Maurice,

When using OpenDNSSEC,   I see that DNSKEY sets are signed with keys
that are in the retire state.
Why does this happen ?
Even if OpenDNSSEC is aware that a key is to be retired, it doesn't mean that 
the rest of the World knows; DNS caches may still have the key loaded as a 
trusted validator, and want to be able to validate the zone based on it.
