25 * 3. The KEY Resource Record
26 *
27 * The KEY resource record (RR) is used to store a public key that is
28 * associated with a Domain Name System (DNS) name. This can be the
29 * public key of a zone, a user, or a host or other end entity. Security
30 * aware DNS implementations MUST be designed to handle at least two
31 * simultaneously valid keys of the same type associated with the same
32 * name.
33 *
34 * The type number for the KEY RR is 25.
35 *
36 * A KEY RR is, like any other RR, authenticated by a SIG RR. KEY RRs
37 * must be signed by a zone level key.
38 *
39 * 3.1 KEY RDATA format
40 *
41 * The RDATA for a KEY RR consists of flags, a protocol octet, the
42 * algorithm number octet, and the public key itself. The format is as
43 * follows:
44 *
45 * 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3
46 * 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
47 * +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
48 * | flags | protocol | algorithm |
49 * +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
50 * | /
51 * / public key /
52 * / /
53 * +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-|
54 *
55 * The KEY RR is not intended for storage of certificates and a separate
56 * certificate RR has been developed for that purpose, defined in [RFC
57 * 2538].
