Key Relay Mapping for the Extensible Provisioning Protocol
Abstract
This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
mapping for a key relay object that relays DNSSEC key material
between EPP clients using the poll queue defined in RFC 5730.
This key relay mapping will help facilitate changing the DNS operator
of a domain while keeping the DNSSEC chain of trust intact.

1. Introduction
There are certain transactions initiated by a DNS operator that
require an authenticated exchange of information between DNS
operators. Often, there is no direct channel between these parties
or it is non-scalable and insecure.
One such transaction is the exchange of DNSSEC key material when
changing the DNS operator for DNSSEC-signed zones. We suggest that
DNS operators use the administrative EPP channel to bootstrap the
delegation by relaying DNSSEC key material for the zone.
In this document, we define an EPP extension to send DNSSEC key
material between EPP clients. This allows DNS operators to
