  Alternative DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) Resource
                                 Record
                      draft-wicinski-lamps-caa-00

Abstract

   [RFC6844] defines the Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) DNS
   Resource Record type to specify one or more Certification Authorities
   (CAs) authorized to issue certificates for that domain name.  With
   large domains covering multiple web properties, defining all possible
   certificate authorities for the domain has security implications.  It
   would be beneficial to define a CAA for individual host names.  This
   will allow CAA records that can be managed with fine grain control.

   This document provides an alternative CAA record using a _caa prefix
   label that will take precedent on a per Fully Qualified Domain Name
   (FQDN), if it exists.  It will override any CAA record at the zone
   apex.  This will not change current CAA record behavior, but will be
   an additional option.
