25   * 3. The KEY Resource Record
26   * 
27   *    The KEY resource record (RR) is used to store a public key that is
28   *    associated with a Domain Name System (DNS) name.  This can be the
29   *    public key of a zone, a user, or a host or other end entity. Security
30   *    aware DNS implementations MUST be designed to handle at least two
31   *    simultaneously valid keys of the same type associated with the same
32   *    name.
33   * 
34   *    The type number for the KEY RR is 25.
35   * 
36   *    A KEY RR is, like any other RR, authenticated by a SIG RR.  KEY RRs
37   *    must be signed by a zone level key.
38   * 
39   * 3.1 KEY RDATA format
40   * 
41   *    The RDATA for a KEY RR consists of flags, a protocol octet, the
42   *    algorithm number octet, and the public key itself.  The format is as
43   *    follows:
44   * 
45   *                         1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3
46   *     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
47   *    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
48   *    |             flags             |    protocol   |   algorithm   |
49   *    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
50   *    |                                                               /
51   *    /                          public key                           /
52   *    /                                                               /
53   *    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-|
54   * 
55   *    The KEY RR is not intended for storage of certificates and a separate
56   *    certificate RR has been developed for that purpose, defined in [RFC
57   *    2538].
