Domain Name System Security Extensions
RFC 2065, “Domain Name System Security Extensions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 1997 by D. Eastlake 3rd, C. Kaufman. It updates RFC 1034, RFC 1035. It has been obsoleted by RFC 2535 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Domain Name System (DNS) has become a critical operational part of the Internet infrastructure yet it has no strong security mechanisms to assure data integrity or authentication. Extensions to the DNS are described that provide these services to security aware resolvers or applications through the use of cryptographic digital signatures. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
