You could use your DNSSEC signing key to sign a validation message (offline, because that doesn't work over DNS).

As discussed elsewhere in this thread, domain validation needs to be frequently rechecked. Therefore, it's far more convenient to publish a DNS record than to manually sign messages out-of-band.

Because a DNSSEC attestation is usually public, except if you maybe use NSEC 3 and hide the RR behind some random name.
