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, and operational experience supports this reclassification and further extension.
