Interoperable Domain Name System (DNS) Server Cookies
draft-ietf-dnsop-server-cookies-00
Abstract
DNS cookies, as specified in RFC 7873, are a lightweight DNS
transaction security mechanism that provides limited protection to
DNS servers and clients against a variety of denial-of-service and
amplification, forgery, or cache poisoning attacks by off-path
attackers.
This document provides precise directions for creating Server Cookies
so that an anycast server set including diverse implementations will
interoperate with standard clients.
This document updates [RFC7873]
