Automated keyset management¶

In order to simplify introduction and rotation of DNSSEC keys, the FRED implements two standards devised for key management automation: RFC 7344 and RFC 8078. By polling domains’ name servers for CDNSKEY records, the Registry can easily link DNSSEC-enabled domains into the global chain of trust and respond to key updates flexibly. This method does not require registrars to be involved in any way because the publishing of the CDNSKEY records relies on DNS operators.
