The setting controls which kind of DNSSEC validation is done: none at
all, trusting the AD bit, or client-side validation.
For now, no validation is implemented, hence the setting doesn't do much
yet, except of toggling the CD bit in the generated messages if full
client-side validation is requested.
This adds most basic operation for doing DNSSEC validation on the
client side. However, it does not actually add the verification logic to
the resolver. Specifically, this patch only includes:
- Verifying DNSKEY RRs against a DS RRs
- Verifying RRSets against a combination of RRSIG and DNSKEY RRs
- Matching up RRSIG RRs and DNSKEY RRs
- Matching up RR keys and RRSIG RRs
- Calculating the DNSSEC key tag from a DNSKEY RR
All currently used DNSSEC combinations of SHA and RSA are implemented. Support
for MD5 hashing and DSA or EC cyphers are not. MD5 and DSA are probably
obsolete, and shouldn't be added. EC should probably be added
eventually, if it actually is deployed on the Internet.
