Title : DNSSEC Resolver Interface to Applications
Author(s) : R. Gieben, et al.
Filename : draft-gieben-resolver-application-interface-00.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2004-4-20
This document describes an interface between a DNSSEC aware resolver
and an application. This interface will define which kind of
information a DNSSEC aware resolver is able to send back to an
application. The basic question we want to answer is: 'What does an
application want to know from a secure aware resolver?'.
In Section 4 we define an error bit array. The secure aware resolver
will set specific bits in the array. With the added information in
the error array, the application can have extra control on what to do
with bogus data.
When something goes wrong during the secure resolving process the
application may also want to know where in the DNS tree this
happened. With a simple error array one can not convey this
information. A possibility might be to give the application the owner
name of the DNS node where the validation failed.
This document is written in the hope that it will lead to a
discussion within the IETF on the resolver-application
interaction(s).

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.
