Abstract
Methods and systems for signing a DNS zone file and managing zone file signing are provided. An indication of a first DNS zone to be signed is received from one of several remote users, where each such remote user has control over a separate DNS zone. Unsigned zone data is retrieved for the first DNS zone to be signed and is cryptographically signed. The signed zone data is provided to a signed zone master for propagation to one or more DNS servers.
