TLS and DTLS use certificates for authenticating the server.  Users
want their applications to verify that the certificate provided by
the TLS server is in fact associated with the domain name they
expect.  DNSSEC provides a mechanism for a zone operator to sign DNS
information directly.  This way, bindings of keys to domains are
asserted not by external entities, but by the entities that operate
the DNS.  This document describes how to use secure DNS to associate
the TLS server's certificate with the the intended domain name.
