+Experimental DNS-over-TLS Auto-discovery
+========================================
+
+This experimental module provides automatic discovery of authoritative servers' supporting DNS-over-TLS.
+The module uses magic NS names to detect SPKI_ fingerprint which is very similar to `dnscurve`_ mechanism.
+
+.. warning:: This protocol and module is experimental and can be changed or removed at any time. Use at own risk, security properties were not analyzed!
+
+How it works
+------------
+
+The module will look for NS target names formatted as:
+``dot-{base32(sha256(SPKI))}....``
+
+For instance, Knot Resolver will detect NS names formatted like this
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  example.com NS dot-tpwxmgqdaurcqxqsckxvdq5sty3opxlgcbjj43kumdq62kpqr72a.example.com
+
+and automatically discover that example.com NS supports DoT with the base64-encoded SPKI digest of ``m+12GgMFIiheEhKvUcOynjbn3WYQUp5tVGDh7Snwj/Q=``
+and will associate it with the IPs of ``dot-tpwxmgqdaurcqxqsckxvdq5sty3opxlgcbjj43kumdq62kpqr72a.example.com``.
+
+In that example, the base32 encoded (no padding) version of the sha256 PIN is ``tpwxmgqdaurcqxqsckxvdq5sty3opxlgcbjj43kumdq62kpqr72a``, which when
+converted to base64 translates to ``m+12GgMFIiheEhKvUcOynjbn3WYQUp5tVGDh7Snwj/Q=``.
+
+Generating NS target names
+--------------------------
+
+To generate the NS target name, use the following command to generate the base32 encoded string of the SPKI fingerprint:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  openssl x509 -in /path/to/cert.pem  -pubkey -noout | \
+  openssl pkey -pubin -outform der | \
+  openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | \
+  base32 | tr -d '=' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
+  tpwxmgqdaurcqxqsckxvdq5sty3opxlgcbjj43kumdq62kpqr72a
+
+Then add a target to your NS with: ``dot-${b32}.a.example.com``
+
+Finally, map ``dot-${b32}.a.example.com`` to the right set of IPs.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  ...
+  ...
+  ;; QUESTION SECTION:
+  ;example.com.      IN      NS
+
+  ;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
+  example.com. 3600  IN      NS      dot-tpwxmgqdaurcqxqsckxvdq5sty3opxlgcbjj43kumdq62kpqr72a.a.example.com.
+  example.com. 3600  IN      NS      dot-tpwxmgqdaurcqxqsckxvdq5sty3opxlgcbjj43kumdq62kpqr72a.b.example.com.
+
+  ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
+  dot-tpwxmgqdaurcqxqsckxvdq5sty3opxlgcbjj43kumdq62kpqr72a.a.example.com. 3600 IN A 192.0.2.1
+  dot-tpwxmgqdaurcqxqsckxvdq5sty3opxlgcbjj43kumdq62kpqr72a.b.example.com. 3600 IN AAAA 2001:DB8::1
+  ...
+  ...
+
+Example configuration
+---------------------
+
+To enable the module, add this snippet to your config:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+        -- Start an experiment, use with caution
+	modules.load('experimental_dot_auth')
+
+This module requires standard ``basexx`` Lua library which is typically provided by ``lua-basexx`` package.
+
+Caveats
+-------
+
+The module relies on seeing the reply of the NS query and as such will not work
+if Knot Resolver uses data from its cache. You may need to delete the cache before starting ``kresd`` to work around this.
+
+The module also assumes that the NS query answer will return both the NS targets in the Authority section as well as the glue records in the Additional section.
+
+Dependencies
