DNSKEY : DNS Key record ( RFC 4034)
The key record used in DNSSEC. Uses the same format as the KEY record. |

Method of separating the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses. |
IPSECKEY : IPSEC Key ( RFC 4025)
Key record that can be used with IPSEC |
KEY : Key record ( RFC 4034)
Used only for TKEY (RFC 2930). Before RFC 3755 was published, this was also used for DNSSEC, but DNSSEC now uses DNSKEY. |
SPF : SPF record ( RFC 4408)
Specified as part of the SPF protocol, as an alternative to storing SPF data in TXT records. Uses the same format as the TXT record. |
