Abstract

   The Secret Key Transaction Authentication for DNS (TSIG) protocol
   provides transaction level authentication for DNS.  TSIG is
   extensible through the definition of new algorithms.  This document
   specifies an algorithm based on the Generic Security Service
   Application Program Interface (GSS-API) (RFC 2743).  This document
   updates RFC 2845.
