A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
Title : KEY RR Secure Entry Point Flag
Author(s) : O. Kolkman, J. Schlyter, E. Lewis

With the Delegation Signer (DS) resource record the concept of a key
acting as a secure entry point has been introduced. During
key-exchanges with the parent there is a need to differentiate secure
entry point keys from other keys in the KEY resource record set. A
flag bit in the KEY RR is defined to indicate that KEY is to be used
as a secure entry point. The flag bit is intended to assist in
oprational procedures to correctly generate DS resource records, or
to indicate what keys are intended for static configuration. The flag
bit is not to be used in the DNS verification protocol. This document
updates RFC 2535 and RFC 3445.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
