The IESG has received a request from the DNS PRIVate Exchange WG (dprive) to consider the following document: - 'Authentication and (D)TLS Profile for DNS-over-(D)TLS' <draft-ietf-dprive-dtls-and-tls-profiles-08.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-03-02. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document discusses Usage Profiles, based on one or more authentication mechanisms, which can be used for DNS over Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Datagram TLS (DTLS). This document also specifies new authentication mechanisms - it describes several ways a DNS client can use an authentication domain name to authenticate a DNS server. Additionally, it defines (D)TLS profiles for DNS clients and servers implementing DNS-over-(D)TLS. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dprive-dtls-and-tls-profiles/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dprive-dtls-and-tls-profiles/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
