Abstract
The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) requires the use of
cryptographic algorithm suites for generating digital signatures over
DNS data. There is currently an IANA registry for these algorithms
that is incomplete in that it lacks the implementation status of each
algorithm. This document provides an applicability statement on
algorithm status for DNSSEC implementations. This document replaces
that registry table with a new IANA registry table for Domain Name
System Security (DNSSEC) Algorithm Numbers which lists each
algorithm's status based on the current reference. If that status is
not defined in the original specification, this document assigns a
status.

Internet-Draft IANA Registry Fixes August 2010
1. Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) Security Extensions (DNSSEC) [RFC4033],
[RFC4034], and [RFC4035] uses digital signatures over DNS data to
provide source authentication and integrity protection. DNSSEC uses
an IANA registry to allocate codes for digital signature algorithms
(consisting of a cryptographic algorithm and one-way hash function).
The original list of algorithm status is found in [RFC4034]. Other
DNSSEC documents have added new algorithms or changed the status of
algorithms in the registry. However, currently implementors must
read through all the documents in order to discover the current
status of each algorithm in the registry.
This document replaces the current IANA registry for Domain Name
System Security (DNSSEC) Algorithm Numbers with a newly defined
registry table. This new table (Section 2.2 below) contains a column
that will list the current status of each digital signature algorithm
in the registry at the time of writing and assigns status for some
algorithms used with DNSSEC that did not have an identified status in
their specification. This document updates the following: [RFC2536],
[RFC2539], [RFC3110], [RFC4034], [RFC4398], [RFC5155], [RFC5702], and
[RFC5933].
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2. The DNS Security Algorithm Number Subregistry
The DNS Security Algorithm Number subregistry (part of the Domain
Name System (DNS) Security Number registry) will be replaced with the
table below. This table contains a column that contains the current
implementation requirements of the given algorithm.
There are additional differences to entries that are described in
sub-section 2.1. The overall new registry table is in sub-section
2.2. The values for the status were obtained from [RFC4034] with
updates for algorithms specified after the original DNSSEC
specification. If no status was listed in the original
specification, this document assigns one.
2.1. Individual Changes
This document changes three entries in the Domain Name System
Security (DNSSEC) Algorithm Registry. They are:
Rose Expires February 12, 2011 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft IANA Registry Fixes August 2010
The description for assignment number 4 is changed to "Reserved until
2020".
The description for assignment number 9 is changed to "Reserved until
2020".
The description for assignment number 11 is changed to "Reserved
until 2020".
Registry entries 13-251 remains Unassigned.
The status of RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 and DSA-NSEC3-SHA1 are set to
RECOMMENDED and OPTIONAL respectively. The difference is due to the
fact that RSA/SHA-1 is REQUIRED and DSA/SHA-1 is only OPTIONAL. The
status of RSA/SHA-256 and RSA/SHA-512 are set to RECOMMENDED as it is
believed that these algorithms will replace older algorithms (e.g.
RSA/SHA-1) that have a perceived weakness in their hash algorithm
(SHA-1).

2.3. Specifying New Algorithms and Updating Status of Existing Entries
[I-D.ietf-dnsext-dnssec-alg-allocation] establishes a parallel
procedure for obtaining an algorithm number for new algorithms other
than a standards track document. Algorithms entered into the
registry using that procedure do not have a listed status.
Specifications that follow this path do not need to obsolete or
update this document.
Adding a newly specified algorithm to the registry with a status
SHALL entail obsoleting this document and replacing the registry
table (with the new algorithm entry). Altering the status column
value of any existing algorithm in the registry SHALL entail
obsoleting this document and replacing the registry table.
This document cannot be updated, only made obsolete and replaced by a
successor document.
3. IANA Considerations
This document replaces the Domain Name System (DNS) Security
Algorithm Numbers registry. The new registry table is in Section
2.2.
The original Domain Name System (DNS) Security Algorithm Number
registry is available at http://www.iana.org/assignments/
dns-sec-alg-numbers/dns-sec-alg-numbers.xhtml.
4. Security Considerations
This document replaces the Domain Name System (DNS) Security
Algorithm Numbers registry. It is not meant to be a discussion on
algorithm superiority. No new security considerations are raised in
this document.
