This document describes how to use secure DNS to associate an S/MIME
user's certificate with the intended domain name, similar to the way
that DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE), RFC 6698,
does for TLS.

This document is a product of the DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities Working Group of the IETF.
