RFC 9886: DRIP Entity Tags (DETs) in the Domain Name System
Recent RFCs 2025-12-24
Summary:
This document defines the Domain Name System (DNS) functionality of a
Drone Remote Identification Protocol (DRIP) Identity Management
Entity (DIME). It is built around DRIP Entity Tags (DETs) to
standardize a hierarchical registry structure and associated
processes to facilitate trustable and scalable registration and
lookup of information related to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The
registry system supports issuance, discovery, and verification of
DETs, enabling secure identification and association of UAS and their
operators. It also defines the interactions between different classes
of registries (root, organizational, and individual) and their
respective roles in maintaining the integrity of the registration
data. This architecture enables decentralized, federated operation
while supporting privacy, traceability, and regulatory compliance
requirements in the context of UAS Remote Identification and other
services.
