Every DNS security-aware resolver must have at least one
Trust Anchor
to use as the basis for validating responses from DNS signed
zones.
For various reasons, most DNS security-aware resolvers are
expected
to have several Trust Anchors.  For some operations, manual
monitoring and updating of Trust Anchors may be feasible,
but many
operations will require automated methods for updating Trust
Anchors
in their security-aware resolvers.  This document identifies
the
requirements that must be met by an automated DNS Trust
Anchor
rollover solution for security-aware DNS resolvers.  This
memo provides information for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the DNS Extensions
Working Group of the IETF.
