In the DNS security (DNSSEC) extensions, delegations to unsigned
subzones are cryptographically secured.  Maintaining this
cryptography is not always practical or necessary.  This document
describes an experimental "Opt-In" model that allows administrators
to omit this cryptography and manage the cost of adopting DNSSEC with
large zones.  This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community.

This document is a product of the DNS Extensions
Working Group of the IETF.
