* '''Software Description:''' A minimal DNS client library for Android and JVMs

* '''Brief explanation:''' MiniDNS is a DNS client library, which allows Android Apps and Java programs to resolve DNS resource records (RR). On Android, some resource records could not be resolved using only the Android API, for example DNS SRV RRs. Which was one of the main reasons MiniDNS was invented. Adding support for DNSSEC would be the logical next step to improve the security of the software using MiniDNS. Since MiniDNS runs also on JavaSE runtimes, i.e. it is not an Anroid exclusive library, all applications using it would also become DNSSEC enabled. Once MiniDNS is able to perform DNSSEC, it should be used in smack-resolver-minidns for DNS resolution. See also: https://github.com/rtreffer/minidns/issues/7. The list of Android Apps und Java programs that would benefit from a DNSSEC enabled MiniDNS include:
