Host Identity Protocol Domain Name System Extension
RFC 8005, “Host Identity Protocol Domain Name System Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2016 by J. Laganier. It obsoletes RFC 5205. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a 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; its Host Identity Tag (HIT), a truncated hash of its public key (PK); and the domain names of its rendezvous servers (RVSs). This document obsoletes RFC 5205.
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.
