What .auDO observes
The public registration-side DNSSEC assertion
.auDO records the value exposed through RDAP without treating it as a derived posture conclusion. The assertion is compared with DNS-side evidence in the combined DNSSEC posture view.
Technical fields
Why it is observed
A second source helps explain assertion consistency
Why it matters
The RDAP assertion provides registration-side evidence that can be compared with direct DNSKEY visibility.
What visible change may mean
A change may reflect registrar or registry updates, delegation processing, provider migration, source representation, timing or fallback collection.
Interpretation limits
A source assertion is not end-to-end validation
Absence from RDAP does not necessarily establish that DNSSEC is absent. The assertion should be compared with direct DNS evidence and source-availability context.
Common retained observations
