Hi, Since I received comments that still the problem explained in the draft is not so clear. I re-organized it and focused on problem statement. If I compared this draft with other approaches is only to give you an idea that how it can protect the last mile of Internet where DNSSEC or other approaches cannot do it easily especially for IPv6. Since I am not longer convinced about DNS confidentiality unless the surveillance actor has no access to other flows without sniffing DNS flows (or he needs to use DNS flows as a helper to do this sniffing), I put encryption as an optional cases that this draft can support.
So the main focus is authentication of scenarios where at the moment not supported by other mechanisms. I welcome any comments or suggestions.

Name: draft-rafiee-intarea-cga-tsig Revision: 10 Title: CGA-TSIG/e: Algorithms for Secure DNS Authentication and Optional DNS Confidentiality Document date: 2014-08-25 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 37 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rafiee-intarea-cga-tsig-10.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rafiee-intarea-cga-tsig/ Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rafiee-intarea-cga-tsig-10 Diff: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-rafiee-intarea-cga-tsig-10 Abstract: This document describes a new mechanism for secure DNS authentication and DNS data confidentiality in case it is necessary (DNS privacy). The purpose of this document is to reduce human interaction during different DNS scenarios such as the communications of resolvers to stub resolvers, recursive resolvers to Authoritative Name Server, Dynamic DNS updates, (especially updating PTR and FQDN records). The aim of this document to assist DNSSEC to protect the last miles of Internet easier. This document supports both IPv4 and IPv6 enabled networks. Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
