Using DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities TLSA Records with SRV Records
RFC 7673, “Using DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities TLSA Records with SRV Records”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2015 by T. Finch, M. Miller, P. Saint-Andre. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) specification (RFC 6698) describes how to use TLSA resource records secured by DNSSEC (RFC 4033) to associate a server's connection endpoint with its Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate (thus enabling administrators of domain names to specify the keys used in that domain's TLS servers). However, application protocols that use SRV records (RFC 2782) to indirectly name the target server connection endpoints for a service domain name cannot apply the rules from RFC 6698. Therefore, this document provides guidelines that enable such protocols to locate and use TLSA records.
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.
