## Keys in DNSSEC/DANE
**Brief explanation:** Together with XMPP Foundation [(see their GSoC idea)](https://community.igniterealtime.org/docs/DOC-2892) we would like to extend the [MiniDNS library](https://github.com/rtreffer/minidns) with DNSSEC support to allow the retrieval of OpenPGP keys from DNS entries.
**Brief explanation:** Together with XMPP Foundation [(see their GSoC idea)](http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Summer_of_Code_2015#Add_support_for_DNSSEC_to_Smack_via_MiniDNS) we would like to extend the [MiniDNS library](https://github.com/rtreffer/minidns) with DNSSEC support to allow the retrieval of OpenPGP keys from DNS entries.
MiniDNS is a DNS client library, which allows Android Apps and Java programs to resolve DNS resource records (RR). On Android, some resource records could not be resolved using only the Android API,
for example DNS SRV RRs. Which was one of the main reasons MiniDNS was invented. Adding support for DNSSEC would be the logical next step to improve the security of the software using MiniDNS. See also [https://github.com/rtreffer/minidns/issues/7](https://github.com/rtreffer/minidns/issues/7).
