New Attribute in DOMAIN Object

You may have seen our recently announced plans to deploy DNSSEC on the reverse tree. You can read more about this at:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2005/msg00156.html

This plan contains a proposal for the new "ds-rdata:" attribute. This attribute is used to perform the public key exchange that is needed to obtain a secured delegation. It is used in addition to the delegation information stored in the "nserver:" attribute.

You can find more details in the Draft Registry Procedure at:
