The IESG has approved the following document: - 'DNSSEC Experiments ' <draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-experiments-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the DNS Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mark Townsley and Jari Arkko. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-experiments-04.txt Technical Summary This document describes how algorithm identifiers can be used to perform experiments within a DNSSECbis environment without that the published data is marked as "bogus" by validating resolvers that do not partake in the experiments. The document explains why this methodology works and describes how experiments are to be defined. Besides, it suggests that algorithm identifiers can be used to introduce non-backward compatible DNSSEC features into the protocol. The technology relies on the fact that DNSSECbis validators should treat RRSets that are signed (exclusively) with key-algorithms that are not implemented by the validator, should treat the RRset as not being signed at al. The first application of this methodology will be an experiment with "opt-in" [draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-opt-in]. It is possible that the methodology will be used for the introduction of current DNSSEC extensions currently under development in DNSEXT, the NSEC3 work. Working Group Summary There is a solid consensus behind this working group document. It has had a few review cycles and it is seen as relevant Document Quality This document has been reviewed (among others) by these key members, most of them recognized DNS and or DNSSEC specialist.
