Abstract:
There are several problems that arise in the standard
Registrant/Registrar/Registry model when the operator of a zone is
neither the Registrant nor the Registrar for the delegation.
Historically the issues have been minor, and limited to difficulty
guiding the Registrant through the initial changes to the NS records
for the delegation. As this is usually a one time activity when the
operator first takes charge of the zone it has not been treated as a
serious issue.
When the domain on the other hand uses DNSSEC it necessary for the
Registrant in this situation to make regular (sometimes annual)
changes to the delegation in order to track KSK rollover, by updating
the delegation's DS record(s). Under the current model this is prone
to Registrant error and significant delays. Even when the Registrant
has outsourced the operation of DNS to a third party the registrant
still has to be in the loop to update the DS record.
There is a need for a simple protocol that allows a third party DNS
operator to update DS and NS records for a delegation without
involving the registrant for each operation.
The protocol described in this draft is REST based, and when used
through an authenticated channel can be used to bootstrap DNSSEC.
Once DNSSEC is established this channel can be used to trigger
maintenance of delegation records such as DS, NS, and glue records.
The protocol is kept as simple as possible.
