Abstract

The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) specification(RFC 6698) describes how to use TLSA resource records secured byDNSSEC (RFC 4033) to associate a server's connection endpoint withits Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate (thus enablingadministrators of domain names to specify the keys used in thatdomain's TLS servers). However, application protocols that use SRVrecords (RFC 2782) to indirectly name the target server connectionendpoints for a service domain name cannot apply the rules from RFC6698. Therefore, this document provides guidelines that enable suchprotocols to locate and use TLSA records.
