Applicability Statement: DNS Security (DNSSEC) DNSKEY Algorithm
Implementation Status
Abstract
The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) requires the use of
cryptographic algorithm suites for generating digital signatures over
DNS data. There is currently an IANA registry for these algorithms,
but there is no record of the recommended implementation status of
each algorithm. This document provides an applicability statement on
algorithm implementation status for DNSSEC component software. This
document lists each algorithm's status based on the current
reference. In the case that an algorithm is specified without an
implementation status, this document assigns one. This document
updates RFCs 2536, 2539, 3110, 4034, 4398, 5155, 5702, and 5933.

RFC 6944 DNSSEC DNSKEY Algorithm Status April 2013
1. Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) Security Extensions (DNSSEC) ([RFC4033],
[RFC4034], [RFC4035], [RFC4509], [RFC5155], and [RFC5702]) uses
digital signatures over DNS data to provide source authentication and
integrity protection. DNSSEC uses an IANA registry to list codes for
digital signature algorithms (consisting of a cryptographic algorithm
and one-way hash function).
The original list of algorithm status is found in [RFC4034]. Other
DNSSEC RFCs have added new algorithms or changed the status of
algorithms in the registry. However, implementers must read through
all the documents in order to discover which algorithms are
considered wise to implement, which are not, and which algorithms may
become widely used in the future.
This document defines the current implementation status for all
registered algorithms. If the status of algorithms changes, this
document will be replaced with a new one establishing the new status;
see Section 2.4.
This document updates the following: [RFC2536], [RFC2539], [RFC3110],
[RFC4034], [RFC4398], [RFC5155], [RFC5702], and [RFC5933].
