ships are passing in the night on this topic. GOST is what the russian government has to use for its crypto. if GOST is not a standard, then the russian federation's government won't be using DNSSEC, or they'll do it with a pirated code point. neither of those is desirable and there's no third way.
IETF has not been ruled by good engineering for many years now. the rule for publication of a standards document now is, if you want to do "this thing", here is a way to do it interoperably. even known-bad ideas get consensus sometimes. (including some of mine, fwiw.) there is nothing particularly bad about GOST. we cannot hold it back based on some long-dead ideal Internet System having minimum complexity. i'm in favour of adoption, and will review. vixie _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
