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 : An In-Band Rollover Mechanism and an Out-Of-Band Priming
Method for DNSSEC Trust Anchors.
Author(s) : J. Ihren, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-dnsext-trustupdate-threshold-00.txt
Pages : 24

The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) works by validating so called
chains of authority. The start of these chains of authority are
usually public keys that are anchored in the DNS clients. These keys
are known as the so called trust anchors.
This memo describes a method how these client trust anchors can be
replaced using the DNS validation and querying mechanisms (in-band)
when the key pairs used for signing by zone owner are rolled.
This memo also describes a method to establish the validity of trust
anchors for initial configuration, or priming, using out of band
mechanisms.

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.
