WebizenID-DNS

There is no existing WebID-DNS method that i am aware of, as such, whilst the general method principal is the same; the application is different.

WebizenID-DNS Method

The WebizenID-DNS systems will require a DNS record that supports the use of a URI.

The most likely standard that could apply is the URI DNS RFC7553 however that RFC does not make specific note of the use of an RDF URI.

A similar type of concept is employed by the LetsEnrypt DNS-01 challenge service, although it makes use of a TXT record which is defined by RFC1464.

WebizenID-DNS & IPv6 Extensions

The method will employ DNS Security Extensions(DNSSEC) and DANE which are invaluable for the purpose of securing the relationship with the DNS record provided.

Further investigation is being undertaken to get a better grasp on how else the WebizenID-DNS related records can serve a useful purpose, as part of the broader ecosystem requirements.

The WebizenDNSNotes page goes into a bit more detail of the current WIP process that needs to occur to better comprehend the requirements herein.

Relationship with TailNets

The Webizen networks are built upon the use of TailNets which are presently fairly basic, but may become far more complex in future. Within these networks there is a seperate DNS system, that is designed to be complimentary to the public internet DNS system.

This 'internal' network currently does not support as many DNS records. In-fact, its thought that it presently only supports A Records. SeeAlso: List Of DNS Record Types Wikipedia

Furthermore; the Public Domains, which are effectively domain records in the public internet; probably should not be used within the TailNets. As such, a method to distinguish both in a manner that does not result in collisions is required, but not necessarily problematic for the intended purpose of the WebizenID-DNS method.
