SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later + +.. _mod-ta_sentinel: + +Sentinel for Detecting Trusted Root Keys +======================================== + +The module ``ta_sentinel`` implements A Root Key Trust Anchor Sentinel for DNSSEC +according to standard :rfc:`8509`. + +This feature allows users of DNSSEC validating resolver to detect which root keys +are configured in resolver's chain of trust. The data from such +signaling are necessary to monitor the progress of the DNSSEC root key rollover +and to detect potential breakage before it affect users. One example of research enabled by this module `is available here <https://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2018-11/kskpm.html>`_. + +This module is enabled by default and we urge users not to disable it. +If it is absolutely necessary you may add ``modules.unload('ta_sentinel')`` +to your configuration to disable it. |
