A Method for Storing IPsec Keying Material in DNS
RFC 4025, “A Method for Storing IPsec Keying Material in DNS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2005 by M. Richardson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a new resource record for the Domain Name System (DNS). This record may be used to store public keys for use in IP security (IPsec) systems. The record also includes provisions for indicating what system should be contacted when an IPsec tunnel is established with the entity in question.
This record replaces the functionality of the sub-type #4 of the KEY Resource Record, which has been obsoleted by RFC 3445. [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.
