How does an application do "accept if signed and validated by DNSSEC"?

    You validate the CERT RRset using the techniques in RFC
    4033, 4034 and 4035.  If the answer is "secure" then it was
    signed and validated.  You the match offered cert to the CERT
    RRs using the information from RFC 4398.

    Do you need more detail or is that enough guidance?

I was interested in more detail, specifically, are there application 
interfaces an application could use, or every app need to implement 
validation using 4033-5 techniques (a lot of work, and most would 
probably do it wrong)?

        There are a number of libraries available which can do
        dnssec validation.
