Host Identity Protocol Domain Name System Extensions
RFC 5205, “Host Identity Protocol Domain Name System Extensions”, is an Experimental document published in April 2008 by P. Nikander, J. Laganier. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8005 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a new resource record (RR) for the Domain Name System (DNS), and how to use it with the Host Identity Protocol (HIP). This RR allows a HIP node to store in the DNS its Host Identity (HI, the public component of the node public-private key pair), Host Identity Tag (HIT, a truncated hash of its public key), and the Domain Names of its rendezvous servers (RVSs). This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
