This standards action follows the IETF LC of draft-ietf-dnsop-maintain-ds which achieved IETF consensus as a standards tack update to RFC 7344. RFC7344 specifies how DNS trust can be maintained across key rollovers in-band between parent and child. draft-ietf-dnsop-maintain-ds elevates RFC7344 from informational to standards track and adds a standard track method for initial trust setup and removal of secure entry point. The methodology described in RFC 7344 was be widely accepted and deployed; operational experience supports this reclassification and further extension.
