Abstract
A Domain Name System (DNS) provider that is not a registrar of a domain name may nonetheless request a registry (possibly via an API request from the registrar to the registry, or via a call directly to the registry) to alter a Delegation Signer (DS) record in a DNS parent zone or other data controlled by the registry. The registry preferably confirms that the DNS provider has control over a nameserver for the domain name. Using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the DNS provider may sign the request with a private key and store the public key in a location that confirms the DNS provider has control over the domain name or over the nameservers for the domain name. After successfully confirming the DNS provider, the registrar or registry may change the DS record so that the domain name supports Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) or update other data with the registry.
