NIST releases new draft of Special Publication 800-81 on securing DNS


A second draft of the proposed revision of Special Publication 800-81 has been released for public comment. This release incorporates suggestions received on the first draft, released in March, and also includes guidance on migrating to a new cryptographic algorithm for signing a zone, for migrating to NSEC3 hashing specifications to provide authenticated denial of existence response, and a discussion of DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) in split view deployments.

The draft is expected to be finalized and published as SP 800-81r1 following the close of the public comment period on Sept. 30. Comments should be sent to SecureDNS@nist.gov
