+Internet-Draft Use of SHA-256 in DNSSEC DS RRs November 2005
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The DNSSEC [RFC4033] [RFC4034] [RFC4035] DS RR is published by parent
+ zones to distribute a cryptographic digest of a child's Key Signing
+ Key (KSK) DNSKEY RR. This DS RR is signed using the parent zone's
+ private half of it's DNSKEY and is published in a RRSIG record.
+
+
+2. Implementing the SHA-256 algorithm for DS record support
+
+ This document specifies that the digest type code [XXX: To be
+ assigned by IANA; likely 2] is to be assigned to SHA-256 [SHA256] for
+ use within DS records. The results of the digest algorithm MUST NOT
+ be truncated and the entire 32 byte digest result is to be published
+ in the DS record.
+
+2.1. DS record field values
+
+ Using the SHA-256 digest algorithm within a DS record will make use
+ of the following DS-record fields:
+
+ Digest type: [XXX: To be assigned by IANA; likely 2]
+
+ Digest: A SHA-256 bit digest value calculated by using the following
+ formula ("|" denotes concatenation). The resulting value is not
+ truncated and the entire 32 byte result is to used in the
+ resulting DS record and related calculations.
+
+ digest = SHA_256(DNSKEY owner name | DNSKEY RDATA)
+
+ where DNSKEY RDATA is defined by [RFC4034] as:
+
+ DNSKEY RDATA = Flags | Protocol | Algorithm | Public Key
+
+ The Key Tag field and Algorithm fields remain unchanged by this
+ document and are specified in the [RFC4034] specification.
+
+2.2. DS Record with SHA-256 Wire Format
+
+ The resulting packet format for the resulting DS record will be [XXX:
+ IANA assignment should replace the 2 below]:

+
+
+3. Implementation Requirements
+
+ Implementations MUST support the use of the SHA-256 algorithm in DS
+ RRs.
+
+ Implementations that support SHA-256 MUST prefer DS records with SHA-
+ 256 (digest type number [XXX: RFC to be assigned by IANA; likely 2])
+ digests over DS records with SHA-1 (digest type number 1) digests.
+
+
+4. Deployment Requirements
+
+ Deployments SHOULD publish both SHA-1 and SHA-256 based DS records
+ for 2 years from the publication date of this RFC (XXX: RFC Editor:
+ Please insert the calculated date here).
+
+
+5. IANA Considerations
+
+ The Digest Type to be used for supporting SHA-256 within DS records
+ needs to be assigned by IANA. This document requests that the Digest
+ Type value of 2 be assigned to the SHA-256 digest algorithm.
+
+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ Because of the weaknesses recently discovered within the SHA-1
+ algorithm, users of DNSSEC are encouraged to deploy the use of SHA-
+ 256 as soon as software implementations in use allow for it.
+
+ At the time of this publication, the SHA-256 algorithm is considered
+ sufficiently strong for the immediate future. It is considered also
+ considered sufficient for use in DNSSEC DS RRs for the immediate
+ future. However, future published attacks may, of course, weaken the
+ usability of this algorithm within the DS RRs.
