SK-DNSSEC Project
Download


The SK-DNSSEC extension is released as a patch to BIND9, under a BSD-style license.
Details about installation and configuration steps can be found here.

Latest release: the source code is currently not maintained anymore, but can be provided upon request.

To-Do List for future releases

  • DNS messages are handled as opaque data and are authenticated by appending binary data at the end of the message. A more elegant solution would be to store the additional authenticating SK-DNSSEC binary data as a "meta-record", a la TSIG.
  • clarify the use of GOOD_ONLY, PARTIAL_ONLY flag in the isc_entropy_get() in the ISC library.
  • find a way to ask for a root certificate only (right now a root certificate request is always combined with a regular DNS query).
  • the key shared by a name server with its parent must not necesarilly be in the shared_keys_list. The key should be moved outside the shared_key_list, since a name server will always have only one key shared with its parent.
