A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8310 Title: Usage Profiles for DNS over TLS and DNS over DTLS Author: S. Dickinson, D. Gillmor, T. Reddy Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: March 2018 Mailbox: sara@sinodun.com, dkg@fifthhorseman.net, tirumaleswarreddy_konda@mcafee.com Pages: 27 Characters: 58893 Updates: RFC 7858 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dprive-dtls-and-tls-profiles-11.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8310 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8310 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). These profiles can increase the privacy of DNS transactions compared to using only cleartext DNS. This document also specifies new authentication mechanisms -- it describes several ways that a DNS client can use an authentication domain name to authenticate a (D)TLS connection to a DNS server. Additionally, it defines (D)TLS protocol profiles for DNS clients and servers implementing DNS over (D)TLS. This document updates RFC 7858. This document is a product of the DNS PRIVate Exchange Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
