Automating DNSSEC Delegation Trust Maintenance
Abstract
This document describes a method to allow DNS Operators to more
easily update DNSSEC Key Signing Keys using the DNS as a
communication channel. The technique described is aimed at
delegations in which it is currently hard to move information from
the Child to Parent.

1. Introduction
The first time a DNS Operator signs a zone, they need to communicate
the keying material to their Parent through some out-of-band method
to complete the chain of trust. Depending on the desires of the
Parent, the Child might send their DNSKEY record, a DS record, or
both.
Each time the Child changes the key that is represented in the
