Maybe. It'll depend on your definition of "securely".

This stuff is very difficult, verging on the impossible for a naive
DNS administrator to deploy successfully. Be sure you know what you're
letting yourself in for if you go down this path.

Yes. There's no generally available code that implements the latest
IETF drafts. So you'd best not try to deploy this on production
systems today. I doubt any DNSSEC experts would even do that.
