One mechanism that was unfortunately pushed asside as a result of the

between client and resolver.

I don't think that has been pushed aside. There's not much interest in it
at the moment because the focus is on authoritative-to-recursive DNSSEC.
Maybe attention will turn to recursive-to-stub security once there is more
assurance that the recursive server's answers are authentic.

It would not take a great deal of effort to graft a Kerberos like scheme
on to effect key exchange.

Or use SIG(0).
