# What is DANE?
DANE is short for "**D**NS-based **A**uthentication of **N**amed **E**ntities" and is described in [RFC 6698](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6698). It offers the option to use the DNSSEC infrastructure to store and sign keys and certificates that are used by TLS. So basically DANE can be used to validate provided certificates based on information (a TLSA signature) published in the DNS zone of a specific domain.
