INTERNET-DRAFT DSA Information in the DNS
1. Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the global hierarchical replicated
distributed database system for Internet addressing, mail proxy, and
other information [RFC 1034, 1035]. The DNS has been extended to
include digital signatures and cryptographic keys as described in
[RFC 4033, 4034, 4035] and additional work is underway which would
require the storage of keying and signature information in the DNS.
This document describes how to encode US Government Digital Signature
Algorithm (DSA) keys and signatures in the DNS. Familiarity with the
US Digital Signature Algorithm is assumed [FIPS 186-2, Schneier].
2. DSA Keying Information
When DSA public keys are stored in the DNS, the structure of the
relevant part of the RDATA part of the RR being used is the fields
listed below in the order given.
The period of key validity is not included in this data but is
indicated separately, for example by an RR such as RRSIG which signs
and authenticates the RR containing the keying information.
Field Size
----- ----
T 1 octet
Q 20 octets
P 64 + T*8 octets
G 64 + T*8 octets
Y 64 + T*8 octets
As described in [FIPS 186-2] and [Schneier], T is a key size
parameter chosen such that 0 <= T <= 8. (The meaning if the T octet
is greater than 8 is reserved and the remainder of the data may have
a different format in that case.) Q is a prime number selected at
key generation time such that 2**159 < Q < 2**160. Thus Q is always
20 octets long and, as with all other fields, is stored in "big-
endian" network order. P, G, and Y are calculated as directed by the
[FIPS 186-2] key generation algorithm [Schneier]. P is in the range
2**(511+64T) < P < 2**(512+64T) and thus is 64 + 8*T octets long. G
and Y are quantities modulo P and so can be up to the same length as
P and are allocated fixed size fields with the same number of octets
as P.
During the key generation process, a random number X must be
generated such that 1 <= X <= Q-1. X is the private key and is used
in the final step of public key generation where Y is computed as
D. Eastlake 3rd [Page 3]
INTERNET-DRAFT DSA Information in the DNS
Y = G**X mod P
3. DSA Signature Information
The portion of the RDATA area used for US Digital Signature Algorithm
signature information is shown below with fields in the order they
are listed and the contents of each multi-octet field in "big-endian"
network order.
Field Size
----- ----
T 1 octet
R 20 octets
S 20 octets
First, the data signed must be determined. Then the following steps
are taken, as specified in [FIPS 186-2], where Q, P, G, and Y are as
specified in the public key [Schneier]:
hash = SHA-1 ( data )
Generate a random K such that 0 < K < Q.
R = ( G**K mod P ) mod Q
S = ( K**(-1) * (hash + X*R) ) mod Q
For information on the SHA-1 hash function see [FIPS 180-2] and [RFC
3174].
Since Q is 160 bits long, R and S can not be larger than 20 octets,
which is the space allocated.
T is copied from the public key. It is not logically necessary in
the SIG but is present so that values of T > 8 can more conveniently
be used as an escape for extended versions of DSA or other algorithms
as later standardized.
4. Performance Considerations
General signature generation speeds are roughly the same for RSA [RFC
3110] and DSA. With sufficient pre-computation, signature generation
with DSA is faster than RSA. Key generation is also faster for DSA.
However, signature verification is an order of magnitude slower than
RSA when the RSA public exponent is chosen to be small, as is
recommended for some applications.
D. Eastlake 3rd [Page 4]
INTERNET-DRAFT DSA Information in the DNS
Current DNS implementations are optimized for small transfers,
typically less than 512 bytes including DNS overhead. Larger
transfers will perform correctly and extensions have been
standardized [RFC 2671] to make larger transfers more efficient, it
is still advisable at this time to make reasonable efforts to
minimize the size of RR sets containing keying and/or signature
inforamtion consistent with adequate security.
5. Security Considerations
Keys retrieved from the DNS should not be trusted unless (1) they
have been securely obtained from a secure resolver or independently
verified by the user and (2) this secure resolver and secure
obtainment or independent verification conform to security policies
acceptable to the user. As with all cryptographic algorithms,
evaluating the necessary strength of the key is essential and
dependent on local policy.
The key size limitation of a maximum of 1024 bits ( T = 8 ) in the
current DSA standard may limit the security of DSA. For particular
applications, implementors are encouraged to consider the range of
available algorithms and key sizes.
DSA assumes the ability to frequently generate high quality random
numbers. See [random] for guidance. DSA is designed so that if
biased rather than random numbers are used, high bandwidth covert
channels are possible. See [Schneier] and more recent research. The
leakage of an entire DSA private key in only two DSA signatures has
been demonstrated. DSA provides security only if trusted
implementations, including trusted random number generation, are
used.
6. IANA Considerations
Allocation of meaning to values of the T parameter that are not
defined herein (i.e., > 8 ) requires an IETF standards actions. It
is intended that values unallocated herein be used to cover future
extensions of the DSS standard.

INTERNET-DRAFT Diffie-Hellman Information in the DNS
1. Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the global hierarchical replicated
distributed database system for Internet addressing, mail proxy, and
similar information [RFC 1034, 1035]. The DNS has been extended to
include digital signatures and cryptographic keys as described in
[RFC 4033, 4034, 4035] and additonal work is underway which would use
the storage of keying information in the DNS.
1.1 About This Document
This document describes how to store Diffie-Hellman keys in the DNS.
Familiarity with the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm is assumed
[Schneier, RFC 2631].
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
1.2 About Diffie-Hellman
Diffie-Hellman requires two parties to interact to derive keying
information which can then be used for authentication. Thus Diffie-
Hellman is inherently a key agreement algorithm. As a result, no
format is defined for Diffie-Hellman "signature information". For
example, assume that two parties have local secrets "i" and "j".
Assume they each respectively calculate X and Y as follows:
X = g**i ( mod p )
Y = g**j ( mod p )
They exchange these quantities and then each calculates a Z as
follows:
Zi = Y**i ( mod p )
Zj = X**j ( mod p )
Zi and Zj will both be equal to g**(i*j)(mod p) and will be a shared
secret between the two parties that an adversary who does not know i
or j will not be able to learn from the exchanged messages (unless
the adversary can derive i or j by performing a discrete logarithm
mod p which is hard for strong p and g).
The private key for each party is their secret i (or j). The public
D. Eastlake 3rd [Page 3]
INTERNET-DRAFT Diffie-Hellman Information in the DNS
key is the pair p and g, which is the same for both parties, and
their individual X (or Y).
For further information about Diffie-Hellman and precautions to take
in deciding on a p and g, see [RFC 2631].
2. Encoding Diffie-Hellman Keying Information
When Diffie-Hellman keys appear within the RDATA portion of a RR,
they are encoded as shown below.
The period of key validity is not included in this data but is
indicated separately, for example by an RR such as RRSIG which signs
and authenticates the RR containing the keying information.
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| KEY flags | protocol | algorithm=2 |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| prime length (or flag) | prime (p) (or special) /
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
/ prime (p) (variable length) | generator length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| generator (g) (variable length) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| public value length | public value (variable length)/
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
/ public value (g^i mod p) (variable length) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Prime length is the length of the Diffie-Hellman prime (p) in bytes
if it is 16 or greater. Prime contains the binary representation of
the Diffie-Hellman prime with most significant byte first (i.e., in
network order). If "prime length" field is 1 or 2, then the "prime"
field is actually an unsigned index into a table of 65,536
prime/generator pairs and the generator length SHOULD be zero. See
Appedix A for defined table entries and Section 4 for information on
allocating additional table entries. The meaning of a zero or 3
through 15 value for "prime length" is reserved.
Generator length is the length of the generator (g) in bytes.
Generator is the binary representation of generator with most
significant byte first. PublicValueLen is the Length of the Public
Value (g**i (mod p)) in bytes. PublicValue is the binary
representation of the DH public value with most significant byte
first.

3. Performance Considerations
Current DNS implementations are optimized for small transfers,
typically less than 512 bytes including DNS overhead. Larger
transfers will perform correctly and extensions have been
standardized [RFC 2671] to make larger transfers more efficient. But
it is still advisable at this time to make reasonable efforts to
minimize the size of RR sets containing keying information consistent
with adequate security.
4. IANA Considerations
Assignment of meaning to Prime Lengths of 0 and 3 through 15 requires
an IETF consensus as defined in [RFC 2434].
Well known prime/generator pairs number 0x0000 through 0x07FF can
only be assigned by an IETF standards action. [RFC 2539], the
Proposed Standard predecessor of this document, assigned 0x0001
through 0x0002. This document additionally assigns 0x0003. Pairs
number 0s0800 through 0xBFFF can be assigned based on RFC
documentation. Pairs number 0xC000 through 0xFFFF are available for
private use and are not centrally coordinated. Use of such private
pairs outside of a closed environment may result in conflicts and/or
security failures.
5. Security Considerations
Keying information retrieved from the DNS should not be trusted
unless (1) it has been securely obtained from a secure resolver or
independently verified by the user and (2) this secure resolver and
secure obtainment or independent verification conform to security
policies acceptable to the user. As with all cryptographic
algorithms, evaluating the necessary strength of the key is important
and dependent on security policy.
In addition, the usual Diffie-Hellman key strength considerations
apply. (p-1)/2 SHOULD also be prime, g SHOULD be primitive mod p, p
SHOULD be "large", etc. See [RFC 2631, Schneier].

Abstract
DNSSEC-bis uses the NSEC record to provide authenticated denial of
existence of RRsets. NSEC also has the side-effect of permitting
zone enumeration, even if zone transfers have been forbidden.
Because some see this as a problem, this document has been assembled
to detail the possible requirements for denial of existence A/K/A
signed proof of non-existence.

Internet-Draft signed-nonexistence-requirements September 2004
1. Introduction
NSEC records allow trivial enumeration of zones - a situation that
has existed for several years but which has recently been raised as a
significant concern for DNSSECbis deployment in several zones.
Alternate proposals have been made that make zone enumeration more
difficult, and some previous proposals to modify DNSSEC had related
requirements/desirements that are relevant to the discussion. In
addition the original designs for NSEC/NXT records were based on
working group discussions and the choices made were not always
documented with context and requirements-- so some of those choices
may need to be restated as requirements. Overall, the working group
needs to better understand the requirements for denial of existence
(and certain other requirements related to DNSSECbis deployment) in
order to evaluate the proposals that may replace NSEC.
In the remainder of this document, "NSEC++" is used as shorthand for
"a denial of existence proof that will replace NSEC". "NSECbis" has
also been used as shorthand for this, but we avoid that usage since
NSECbis will not be part of DNSSECbis and therefore there might be
some confusion.
2. Non-purposes
This document does not currently document the reasons why zone
enumeration might be "bad" from a privacy, security, business, or
other perspective--except insofar as those reasons result in
requirements. Once the list of requirements is complete and vaguely
coherent, the trade-offs (reducing zone enumeration will have X cost,
while providing Y benefit) may be revisited. The editors of this
compendium received inputs on the potential reasons why zone
enumeration is bad (and there was significant discussion on the
DNSEXT WG mailing list) but that information fell outside the scope
of this document.
Note also that this document does not assume that NSEC *must* be
replaced with NSEC++, if the requirements can be met through other
methods (e.g., "white lies" with the current NSEC). As is stated
above, this document is focused on requirements collection and
(ideally) prioritization rather than on the actual implementation.
3. Zone Enumeration
Authenticated denial should not permit trivial zone enumeration.
Additional discussion: NSEC (and NXT before it) provide a linked
list that could be "walked" to trivially enumerate all the signed
records in a zone. This requirement is primarily (though not
Laurie & Loomis Expires March 2, 2005 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft signed-nonexistence-requirements September 2004
exclusively) important for zones that either are delegation-only/
-mostly or do not have reverse lookup (PTR) records configured, since
enterprises that have PTR records for all A records have already
provided a similar capability to enumerate the contents of DNS zones.
Contributor: various
4. Zone Enumeration II
Zone enumeration should be at least as difficult as it would be to
effect a dictionary attack using simple DNS queries to do the same in
an unsecured zone.
(Editor comment: it is not clear how to measure difficulty in this
case. Some examples could be monetary cost, bandwidth, processing
power or some combination of these. It has also been suggested that
the requirement is that the graph of difficulty of enumeration vs.
the fraction of the zone enumerated should be approximately the same
shape in the two cases)
Contributor: Nominet
5. Zone Enumeration III
Enumeration of a zone with random contents should computationally
infeasible.
Editor comment: this is proposed as a way of evaluating the
effectiveness of a proposal rather than as a requirement anyone would
actually have in practice.
Contributor: Alex Bligh
6. Exposure of Contents
NSEC++ should not expose any of the contents of the zone (apart from
the NSEC++ records themselves, of course).
Editor comment: this is a weaker requirement than prevention of
enumeration, but certainly any zone that satisfied this requirement
would also satisfy the trivial prevention of enumeration requirement.
Contributor: Ed Lewis
7. Zone Size
Requirement: NSEC++ should make it possible to take precautions
against trivial zone size estimates. Since not all zone owners care
Laurie & Loomis Expires March 2, 2005 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft signed-nonexistence-requirements September 2004
about others estimation of the size of a zone, it is not always
necessary to prohibit trivial estimation of the size of the zone but
NSEC++ should allow such measures.
Additional Discussion: Even with proposals based on obfuscating names
with hashes it is trivial to give very good estimates of the number
of domains in a certain zone. Just send 10 random queries and look
at the range between the two hash values returned in each NSEC++. As
hash output can be assumed to follow a rectangular random
distribution, using the mean difference between the two values, you
can estimate the total number of records. It is probably sufficient
to look at even one NSEC++, since the two hash values should follow a
(I believe) Poisson distribution.
The concern is motivated by some wording remembered from NSEC, which
stated that NSEC MUST only be present for existing owner names in the
zone, and MUST NOT be present for non-existing owner names. If
similar wording were carried over to NSEC++, introducing bogus owner
names in the hash chain (an otherwise simple solution to guard
against trivial estimates of zone size) wouldn't be allowed.
One simple attempt at solving this is to describe in the
specifications how zone signer tools can add a number of random
"junk" records.
Editor's comment: it is interesting that obfuscating names might
actually make it easier to estimate zone size.
Contributor: Simon Josefsson.
8. Single Method
Requirement: A single NSEC++ method must be able to carry both
old-style denial (i.e. plain labels) and whatever the new style
looks like. Having two separate denial methods could result in
cornercases where one method can deny the other and vice versa.
Additional discussion: This requirement can help -bis folks to a
smooth upgrade to -ter. First they'd change the method while the
content is the same, then they can change content of the method.
Contributor: Roy Arends.
9. Empty Non-terminals
Requirement: Empty-non-terminals (ENT) should remain empty. In
other words, adding NSEC++ records to an existing DNS structure
should not cause the creation of NSEC++ records (or related records)
Laurie & Loomis Expires March 2, 2005 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft signed-nonexistence-requirements September 2004
at points that are otherwise ENT.
Additional discussion: Currently NSEC complies with ENT requirement:
b.example.com NSEC a.c.example.com implies the existence of an ENT
with ownername c.example.com. NSEC2 breaks that requirement, since
the ownername is entirely hashed causing the structure to disappear.
This is why EXIST was introduced. But EXIST causes ENT to be
non-empty-terminals. Next to the dissappearance of ENT, it causes
(some) overhead since an EXIST record needs a SIG, NSEC2 and
SIG(NSEC2). DNSNR honours this requirement by hashing individual
labels instead of ownernames. However this causes very long labels.
Truncation is a measure against very long ownernames, but that is
controversial. There is a fair discussion of the validity of
truncation in the DNSNR draft, but that hasn't got proper review yet.
Contributor: Roy Arends.
(Editor comment: it is not clear to us that an EXIST record needs an
NSEC2 record, since it is a special purpose record only used for
denial of existence)
10. Prevention of Precomputed Dictionary Attacks
Requirement: NSEC++ needs to provide a method to reduce the
effectiveness of precomputed dictionary attacks.
Additional Discussion: Salt is a measure against dictionary attacks.
There are other possible measures (such as iterating hashes in
NSEC2). The salt needs to be communicated in every response, since
it is needed in every verification. Some have suggested to move the
salt to a special record instead of the denial record. I think this
is not wise. Response size has more priority over zone size. An
extra record causes a larger response than a larger existing record.
Contributor: Roy Arends.
(Editor comment: the current version of NSEC2 also has the salt in
every NSEC2 record)
11. DNSSEC-Adoption and Zone-Growth Relationship
Background: Currently with NSEC, when a delegation centric zone
deploys DNSSEC, the zone-size multiplies by a non-trivial factor even
when the DNSSEC-adoption rate of the subzones remains low--because
each delegation point creates at least one NSEC record and
corresponding signature in the parent even if the child is not
signed.
Laurie & Loomis Expires March 2, 2005 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft signed-nonexistence-requirements September 2004
Requirements: A delegation-only (or delegation-mostly) zone that is
signed but which has no signed child zones should initially need only
to add SIG(SOA), DNSKEY, and SIG(DNSKEY) at the apex, along with some
minimal set of NSEC++ records to cover zone contents. Further,
during the transition of a delegation-only zone from 0% signed
children to 100% signed children, the growth in the delegation-only
zone should be roughly proportional to the percentage of signed child
zones.
Additional Discussion: This is why DNSNR has the Authoritative Only
bit. This is similar to opt-in for delegations only. This (bit) is
currently the only method to help delegation-centric zone cope with
zone-growth due to DNSSEC adoption. As an example, A delegation only
zone which deploys DNSSEC with the help of this bit, needs to add
SIG(SOA), DNSKEY, SIG(DNSKEY), DNSNR, SIG(DNSNR) at the apex. No
more than that.
Contributor: Roy Arends.
12. Non-overlap of denial records with possible zone records
Requirement: NSEC++ records should in some way be differentiated
from regular zone records, so that there is no possibility that a
record in the zone could be duplicated by a non-existence proof
(NSEC++) record.
Additional discussion: This requirement is derived from a discussion
on the DNSEXT mailing list related to copyrights and domain names.
As was outlined there, one solution is to put NSEC++ records in a
separate namespace, e.g.: $ORIGIN co.uk.
873bcdba87401b485022b8dcd4190e3e IN NS jim.rfc1035.com ; your
delegation 873bcdba87401b485022b8dcd4190e3e._no IN NSEC++ 881345...
; for amazon.co.uk.
Contributor: various
(Editor comment: One of us still does not see why a conflict
matters. Even if there is an apparent conflict or overlap, the
"conflicting" NSEC2 name _only_ appears in NSEC2 records, and the
other name _never_ appears in NSEC2 records.)
13. Exposure of Private Keys
Private keys associated with the public keys in the DNS should be
exposed as little as possible. It is highly undesirable for private
keys to be distributed to nameservers, or to otherwise be available
in the run-time environment of nameservers.

Contributors: Nominet, Olaf Kolkman, Ed Lewis
14. Minimisation of Zone Signing Cost
The additional cost of creating an NSEC++ signed zone should not
significantly exceed the cost of creating an ordinary signed zone.
Contributor: Nominet
15. Minimisation of Asymmetry
Nameservers should have to do as little additional work as necessary.
More precisely, it is desirable for any increase in cost incurred by
the nameservers to be offset by a proportionate increase in cost to
DNS `clients', e.g. stub and/or `full-service' resolvers.
Contributor: Nominet
16. Minimisation of Client Complexity
Caching, wildcards, CNAMEs, DNAMEs should continue to work without
adding too much complexity at the client side.
Contributor: Olaf Kolkman
17. Completeness
A proof of nonexistence should be possible for all nonexistent data
in the zone.
Contributor: Olaf Kolkman
18. Purity of Namespace
The name space should not be muddied with fake names or data sets.
Contributor: Ed Lewis
19. Replay Attacks
NSEC++ should not allow a replay to be used to deny existence of an
RR that actually exists.
Contributor: Ed Lewis
20. Compatibility with NSEC
NSEC++ should not introduce changes incompatible with NSEC.
Laurie & Loomis Expires March 2, 2005 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft signed-nonexistence-requirements September 2004
Contributor: Ed Lewis
21. Compatibility with NSEC II
NSEC++ should differ from NSEC in a way that is transparent to the
resolver or validator.
Contributor: Ed Lewis
22. Compatibility with NSEC III
NSEC++ should differ from NSEC as little as possible whilst achieving
other requirements.
Contributor: Alex Bligh
23. Coexistence with NSEC
NSEC++ should be optional, allowing NSEC to be used instead.
Contributor: Ed Lewis, Alex Bligh
24. Coexistence with NSEC II
NSEC++ should not impose extra work on those content with NSEC.
Contributor: Ed Lewis
25. Protocol Design
A good security protocol would allow signing the nonexistence of some
selected names without revealing anything about other names.
Contributor: Dan Bernstein
26. Process
Clearly not all of these requirements can be met. Therefore the next
phase of this document will be to either prioritise them or narrow
them down to a non-contradictory set, which should then allow us to
judge proposals on the basis of their fit.
