Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   The DNSSEC protocol makes use of various cryptographic algorithms in
   order to provide authentication of DNS data and proof of non-
   existence.  To ensure interoperability between DNS resolvers and DNS
   authoritative servers, it is necessary to specify a set of algorithm
   implementation requirements and usage guidelines to ensure that there
   is at least one algorithm that all implementations support.  This
   document defines the current algorithm implementation requirements
   and usage guidance for DNSSEC.  This document obsoletes [RFC6944].


Working Group Summary

   The Working Group did not have any controversy on this document. 
  There was discussion around the 2119 Normative terms as this draft
  uses RECOMMENDED/NOT RECOMMENDED instead of SHOULD/SHOULD NOT. 
  This did not cause any problems gaining consensus 
 

Document Quality

  Document is very concise and informative as it updates the 
  list of recommendations for DNSKEY algorithms.

  The document (currently) has a section listing which
  implementations support with algorithms / requirements.
