Use of SHA-2 Algorithms with RSA in
DNSKEY and RRSIG Resource Records for DNSSEC

DNSKEY and RRSIG resource records for use in the Domain Name System
Security Extensions (RFC 4033, RFC 4034, and RFC 4035).

1. Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the global, hierarchical distributed
database for Internet Naming. The DNS has been extended to use
cryptographic keys and digital signatures for the verification of the
authenticity and integrity of its data. [RFC4033], [RFC4034], and
[RFC4035] describe these DNS Security Extensions, called DNSSEC.
RFC 4034 describes how to store DNSKEY and RRSIG resource records,
and specifies a list of cryptographic algorithms to use. This
document extends that list with the algorithms RSA/SHA-256 and RSA/
SHA-512, and specifies how to store DNSKEY data and how to produce
RRSIG resource records with these hash algorithms.
Familiarity with DNSSEC, RSA, and the SHA-2 [FIPS.180-3.2008] family
of algorithms is assumed in this document.

RFC 5702 DNSSEC RSA/SHA-2 October 2009
To refer to both SHA-256 and SHA-512, this document will use the name
SHA-2. This is done to improve readability. When a part of text is
specific for either SHA-256 or SHA-512, their specific names are
