This document describes a means for automated, authenticated, and
authorized updating of DNSSEC "trust anchors". The method provides
protection against N-1 key compromises of N keys in the trust point
key set. Based on the trust established by the presence of a current
anchor, other anchors may be added at the same place in the
hierarchy, and, ultimately, supplant the existing anchor(s).
This mechanism will require changes to resolver management behavior
(but not resolver resolution behavior), and the addition of a single
flag bit to the DNSKEY record. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
This document is a product of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.
This is now an Internet Standard.

protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and
suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
