Applicability Statement: DNS Security DNSKEY Algorithm Implementation Status
RFC 6944, “Applicability Statement: DNS Security DNSKEY Algorithm Implementation Status”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2013 by S. Rose. It updates RFC 2536, RFC 2539, RFC 3110, RFC 4034, RFC 4398, RFC 5155, RFC 5702, RFC 5933. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8624 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) requires the use of cryptographic algorithm suites for generating digital signatures over DNS data. There is currently an IANA registry for these algorithms, but there is no record of the recommended implementation status of each algorithm. This document provides an applicability statement on algorithm implementation status for DNSSEC component software. This document lists each algorithm's status based on the current reference. In the case that an algorithm is specified without an implementation status, this document assigns one. This document updates RFCs 2536, 2539, 3110, 4034, 4398, 5155, 5702, and 5933.
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.
