Derivation of DNS Name Predecessor and Successor
RFC 4471, “Derivation of DNS Name Predecessor and Successor”, is an Experimental document published in September 2006 by G. Sisson, B. Laurie. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes two methods for deriving the canonically-ordered predecessor and successor of a DNS name. These methods may be used for dynamic NSEC resource record synthesis, enabling security-aware name servers to provide authenticated denial of existence without disclosing other owner names in a DNSSEC secured zone. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
