Technical Summary
This document changes the review requirements needed to get DNSSEC
algorithms and resource records added to IANA registries. It updates
RFC 6014 to include hash algorithms for DS records and NSEC3
parameters. It also updates RFC 5155 and RFC 6014, which have
requirements for DNSSEC algorithms, and updates RFC 8624 to say that
algorithms that are described in RFCs that are not on standards track
are only at the "MAY" level of implementation recommendation. The
rationale for these changes is to bring the requirements for DS
records and for the hash algorithms used in NSEC3 in line with the
requirements for all other DNSSEC algorithms.
Working Group Summary
There was a lot of debate and discussion when it was first introduced. There was a feeling that loosening the requirements on adding new DNSSEC algorithms would lead to algorithms not getting implemented, algorithms designed around national/"vanity" crypto, etc.
This was resolved with some discussion.
Document Quality
The document changes the registration policy for an IANA registry, to better align with other registries.
It is a process document and so there are no implementations, it is written appropriately for the intended audience, etc.
Personnel
Tim Wicinski is the DS
Warren Kumari is RAD! (nope, still not old...)
