+Signaling Trust Anchor Knowledge in DNSSEC
+==========================================
+
+The module for Signaling Trust Anchor Knowledge in DNSSEC Using Key Tag Query,
+implemented according to :rfc:`8145#section-5`.
+
+This feature allows validating resolvers to signal to authoritative servers
+which keys are referenced in their chain of trust. The data from such
+signaling allow zone administrators to monitor the progress of rollovers
+in a DNSSEC-signed zone.
+
+This mechanism serve to measure the acceptance and use of new DNSSEC
+trust anchors and key signing keys (KSKs). This signaling data can be
+used by zone administrators as a gauge to measure the successful deployment
+of new keys. This is of particular interest for the DNS root zone in the event
+of key and/or algorithm rollovers that rely on :rfc:`5011` to automatically
+update a validating DNS resolver’s trust anchor.
+
+.. attention::
+   Experience from root zone KSK rollover in 2018 shows that this mechanism
+   by itself is not sufficient to reliably measure acceptance of the new key.
+   Nevertheless, some DNS researchers found it is useful in combination
+   with other data so we left it enabled for now. This default might change
+   once more information is available.
+
+This module is enabled by default. You may use ``modules.unload('ta_signal_query')``
+in your configuration.
