                 Compact Denial of Existence in DNSSEC
            draft-ietf-dnsop-compact-denial-of-existence-03

Abstract

   This document describes a technique to generate a signed DNS response
   on demand for a non-existent name by claiming that the name exists
   but doesn't have any data for the queried record type.  Such answers
   require only one minimal NSEC record, allow online signing servers to
   minimize signing operations and response sizes, and prevent zone
   content disclosure.

1.  Introduction and Motivation

   One of the functions of the Domain Name System Security Extensions
   (DNSSEC) [RFC9364] is "Authenticated Denial of Existence", i.e.
   proving that a DNS name or record type does not exist.  Normally,
   this is done by means of signed NSEC or NSEC3 records.  In the
   precomputed signature model, these records chain together existing
   names, or cryptographic hashes of them in the zone.  In the online
   signing model, described in NSEC and NSEC3 "White Lies" [RFC4470]
   [RFC7129], they are used to dynamically compute an epsilon function
   around the queried name.  A 'type bitmap' in the data field of the
   NSEC or NSEC3 record asserts which resource record types are present
   at the name.

Huque, et al.           Expires 5 September 2024                [Page 2]
Internet-Draft    Compact Denial of Existence in DNSSEC       March 2024

   The response for a non-existent name requires up to 2 signed NSEC
   records or up to 3 signed NSEC3 records (and for online signers, the
   associated cryptographic computation), to prove that (1) the name did
   not explicitly exist in the zone, and (2) that it could not have been
   synthesized by a wildcard.

   This document describes an alternative technique, "Compact Denial of
   Existence" or "Compact Answers", to generate a signed DNS response on
   demand for a non-existent name by claiming that the name exists but
   has no resource records associated with the queried type, i.e. it
   returns a NODATA response rather than an NXDOMAIN response.  A NODATA
   response, which has a response code (RCODE) of NOERROR and an empty
   ANSWER section, requires only one NSEC record matching the queried
   name.  This has two advantages: the DNS response size is smaller, and
   it reduces the online cryptographic work involved in generating the
   response.

   The use of minimally covering NSEC records also prevents adversaries
   from enumerating the entire contents of DNS zones by walking NSEC
   chains.

2.  Distinguishing NXDOMAIN from Empty Non-Terminal Names

   Since NODATA responses are generated for non-existent names, and
   there are no defined record types for the name, the NSEC type bitmap
   in the response will only contain "NSEC" and "RRSIG".  Tools that
   need to accurately identify non-existent names in responses cannot
   rely on this specific type bitmap because Empty Non-Terminal (ENT)
   names (which positively exist) also have no record types at the name
   and will return exactly the same type bitmap.

   Previously, some specific implementations of Compact Answers have
   tried to avoid the NXDOMAIN identification problem by synthesizing
   the NSEC type bitmap for ENTs to include all record types supported
   except for the queried type.  This has the undesirable effect of no
   longer being able to reliably determine the existence of ENTs, and of
   making the Type Bitmaps field larger than it needs to be.  It also
   has the potential to confuse validators and others tools that infer
   type existence from the NSEC record.

   This document defines the use of a synthetic Resource Record type to
   signal the presence of a non-existent name.  The mnemonic for this RR
   type is "NXNAME", chosen to clearly distinguish it from the response
   code mnemonic NXDOMAIN.

         Type    Value  Meaning
         NXNAME  [TBD]  NXDOMAIN indicator for Compact Denial of Existence

Huque, et al.           Expires 5 September 2024                [Page 3]
Internet-Draft    Compact Denial of Existence in DNSSEC       March 2024

   This RR type is added to the NSEC type bitmap for responses to non-
   existent names (in addition to the required RRSIG and NSEC types).
   It is a "Meta-Type", as defined in [RFC6895], stores no data in a DNS
   zone, and cannot be usefully queried.  Section 3.4 describes what a
   DNS resolver or authoritative server should do if it receives an
   explicit query for NXNAME.

   No special handling of this RR type is required on the part of DNS
   resolvers.  However, resolvers may optionally implement the behavior
   described in Section 4.1 (Response Code Restoration) to better
   restore NXDOMAIN visibility to various applications.

   An alternative way to distinguish NXDOMAIN from ENT is to define the
   synthetic Resource Record type for ENTs instead, as specified in
   [ENT-SENTINEL], and this was already successfully deployed in the
   field for a period of time.  This typically imposes less work on the
   server since NXDOMAIN responses are a lot more common than ENTs.  At
   the time it was deployed, it also allowed a common bitmap pattern
   ("NSEC RRSIG") to identify NXDOMAIN across this and other
   implementations that returned a broad bitmap pattern for Empty Non-
   Terminals.  However, the advantage of the NXNAME RR type is that it
   explicitly identifies NXDOMAIN responses, and allows them to be
   distinguished conclusively from potential ENT responses in other
   online signing NSEC implementations.

3.  Generating Responses

   This section describes various types of answers generated by
   authoritative servers implementing Compact Denial of Existence.  At
   the current time, the compact denial scheme is only defined for NSEC.
   While it could support NSEC3 too, there is no benefit in introducing
   the additional complexity associated with it.

3.1.  Responses for Non-Existent Names

   When the authoritative server receives a query for a non-existent
   name in a zone that it serves, a NODATA response (response code
   NOERROR, empty Answer section) is generated with a dynamically
   constructed NSEC record with the owner name matching the queried name
   (QNAME).

   The Next Domain Name field SHOULD be set to the immediate
   lexicographic successor of the QNAME.  The Type Bit Maps field MUST
   only have the bits set for the following RR Types: RRSIG, NSEC, and
   NXNAME.

Huque, et al.           Expires 5 September 2024                [Page 4]
Internet-Draft    Compact Denial of Existence in DNSSEC       March 2024

   For example, a request for the non-existing name a.example.com would
   cause the following NSEC record to be generated (in DNS presentation
   format):

          a.example.com. 3600 IN NSEC \000.a.example.com. RRSIG NSEC NXNAME

   The NSEC record MUST have corresponding RRSIGs generated.

3.2.  Responses for Non-Existent Types

   When the authoritative server receives a query for a name that
   exists, but has no resource record sets associated with the queried
   type, it generates a NODATA response, with a dynamically constructed
   signed NSEC record in the Authority Section.  The owner name of the
   NSEC record matches the queried name.  The Next Domain Name field is
   set to the immediate lexicographic successor of the QNAME.  The Type
   Bitmaps field lists the available Resource Record types at the name.

   An Empty Non-Terminal is a special subset of this category, where the
   name has no resource record sets of any type (but has descendant
   names that do).  For a query for an Empty Non-Terminal, the NSEC type
   bitmap will only contain RRSIG and NSEC.  (Note that this is
   substantially different than the ENT response in precomputed NSEC,
   where the NSEC record has the same type bitmap, but "covers" rather
   than matches the ENT, and has the Next Domain Name field set to the
   next lexicographic descendent of the ENT in the zone.)

3.3.  Responses for Wildcard Matches

   For wildcard matches, the authoritative server will provide a
   dynamically signed response that claims that the queried name exists
   explicitly.  Specifically, the answer RR set will have an RRSIG
   record demonstrating an exact match (i.e. the label count in the
   RRSIG RDATA will be equal to the number of labels in the query name
   minus the root label).  This obviates the need to include an NSEC
   record in the Authority section of the response that shows that no
   closer match than the wildcard was possible.

   For a Wildcard NODATA match (where the queried name matches a
   wildcard but no data for the queried type exists), a response akin to
   a non-wildcard NODATA is returned.  The Answer section is empty, and
   the Authority section contains a single NSEC record that matches the
   query name with a type bitmap representing the list of types
   available at the wildcard.

Internet-Draft    Compact Denial of Existence in DNSSEC       March 2024

3.4.  Responses to explicit queries for NXNAME

   NXNAME is a meta type which should not appear anywhere in a DNS
   message apart from the NSEC type bitmap of a Compact Answer response
   for a non-existent name.  If however a DNS server implementing this
   specification receives an explicit query for the NXNAME RR type, this
   section describes what the response should be.

   If an explicit query for the NXNAME RR type is received, the DNS
   server MUST return a Format Error (response code FORMERR).  A
   resolver should not forward these queries upstream or attempt
   iterative resolution.  Many DNS server implementations already return
   errors for all types in the meta and q-type range unless they are
   defined to support queries.  This general behavior however is not
   clearly specified in any existing protocol specification document and
   should be.

4.  Response Code Restoration

   For non-existent names, implementations should try wherever possible,
   to preserve the response code value of 3 (NXDOMAIN).  This is
   generally possible for non-DNSSEC enabled queries, namely those which
   do not set the DNSSEC_OK EDNS flag (DO bit).  For such queries,
   authoritative servers implementing Compact Denial of Existence could
   return a normal NXDOMAIN response.  There may be limited benefit to
   doing this however, since most modern DNS resolvers are DNSSEC-aware,
   and by [RFC3225] Section 3, DNSSEC-aware recursive servers are
   required to set the DO bit on outbound queries, regardless of the
   status of the DO bit on incoming requests.

   A validating resolver that understands the NXNAME signal from an
   authoritative server could modify the response code from NOERROR to
   NXDOMAIN in responses they return to downstream queriers that have
   not set the DO bit in their requests.

4.1.  Signaled Response Code Restoration

   This section describes an optional but recommended scheme to permit
   signaled restoration of the NXDOMAIN RCODE for DNSSEC enabled
   responses.  A new EDNS0 [RFC6891] header flag is defined in the 2nd
   most significant bit of the flags field in the EDNS0 OPT header.
   This flag is referred to as the "Compact Answers OK (CO)" flag.

Huque, et al.           Expires 5 September 2024                [Page 6]
Internet-Draft    Compact Denial of Existence in DNSSEC       March 2024

                   +0 (MSB)                +1 (LSB)
            +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
         0: |   EXTENDED-RCODE      |       VERSION         |
            +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
         2: |DO|CO|                 Z                       |
            +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

   When this flag is sent in a query by a resolver, it indicates that
   the resolver will accept a signed NXNAME enhanced NODATA response for
   a non-existent name together with the response code field set to
   NXDOMAIN (3).

   In responses to such queries, a Compact Denial authoritative
   implementing this signaling scheme, will set the Compact Answers OK
   EDNS header flag, and for non-existent names will additionally set
   the response code field to NXDOMAIN.

   EDNS is a hop by hop signal, so resolvers will need to record the
   presence of this flag in associated cache data and respond to
   downstream DNSSEC enabled queriers appropriately.  If the querier
   does not set the Compact Answers OK flag, the resolver will need to
   reset the response code back to NOERROR (0) for an NXNAME response.

5.  Operational Implications

   For DNSSEC enabled queries, a signed zone at an authoritative server
   implementing Compact Answers will never return a response with a
   response code of NXDOMAIN, unless they have implemented the optional
   response code restoration feature described in Section 4.1.
   Similarly, resolvers not implementing this feature will also not be
   able to return NXDOMAIN.  In the absence of this, tools that rely on
   accurately determining non-existent names will need to infer them
   from the presence of the NXNAME RR type in the type bitmap of the
   NSEC record in NODATA responses from these servers.

   Address lookup functions typically invoked by applications may need
   to do more work when dealing with implementations of Compact Answers.
   For example, a NODATA response to the lookup of an AAAA record for a
   non-existent name, can cause such functions to issue another query at
   the same name for an A record.  Whereas an NXDOMAIN response to the
   first query would suppress additional queries for other types at that
   name.  Address lookup functions could be enhanced to issue DNSSEC
   enabled queries and to examine the NSEC type bitmaps in responses to
   accurately determine non-existent names.

6.  Updates to RFCs

6.1.  Updates to RFC 4034

   [RFC4034] Section 4.1.2, The Type Bit Maps Field, states the
   following:

   *  Bits representing pseudo-types MUST be clear, as they do not
      appear in zone data.  If encountered, they MUST be ignored upon
      being read.

   This paragraph is updated to the following:

   *  Bits representing pseudo-types MUST be clear, as they do not
      appear in zone data.  If encountered, they MUST be ignored upon
      being read.  There is one exception to this rule for Compact
      Denial of Existence (RFC TBD), where the NXNAME pseudo-type is
      allowed to appear in responses to non-existent names.

   Note: as a practical matter, no known resolver insists that pseudo-
   types must be clear in the NSEC type bitmap, so this restriction
   (prior to its revision) has posed no problem for the deployment of
   this mechanism.

6.2.  Updates to RFC 4035

   [RFC4035] Section 2.3, Including NSEC RRs in a Zone, states the
   following:

   *  An NSEC record (and its associated RRSIG RRset) MUST NOT be the
      only RRset at any particular owner name.  That is, the signing
      process MUST NOT create NSEC or RRSIG RRs for owner name nodes
      that were not the owner name of any RRset before the zone was
      signed.  The main reasons for this are a desire for namespace
      consistency between signed and unsigned versions of the same zone
      and a desire to reduce the risk of response inconsistency in
      security oblivious recursive name servers.

   This paragraph is updated to the following::

   *  An NSEC record (and its associated RRSIG RRset) MUST NOT be the
      only RRset at any particular owner name.  That is, the signing
      process MUST NOT create NSEC or RRSIG RRs for owner name nodes
      that were not the owner name of any RRset before the zone was
      signed.  The main reasons for this are a desire for namespace
      consistency between signed and unsigned versions of the same zone
      and a desire to reduce the risk of response inconsistency in
      security oblivious recursive name servers.  This concern only

Internet-Draft    Compact Denial of Existence in DNSSEC       March 2024

      applies to implementations of DNSSEC that employ pre-computed
      signatures.  There is an exception to this rule for online signing
      implementations of DNSSEC (e.g Minimally Covering NSEC, and
      Compact Denial of Existence (RFC TBD), where dynamically generated
      NSEC records can be produced for owner names that don't exist or
      are empty non-terminals.

7.  Implementation Status

   Cloudflare, NS1, and Amazon Route53 currently implement the Compact
   Denial of Existence method.  From early 2021 until November 2023, NS1
   had deployed the Empty Non-Terminal distinguisher using the private
   RR type code 65281.  At the present time Cloudflare (since July 2023)
   and NS1 (since November 2023) both implement the NXNAME distinguisher
   using the private RR type code 65283.  Amazon Route53 is expected to
   implement NXNAME after the specification is finalized and an official
   code point is allocated.  At the current time, there are only
   prototype implementations of the signaled rcode restoration scheme.

8.  Security Considerations

   Online signing of DNS records requires authoritative servers for the
   DNS zone to have access to the private signing keys.  Exposing
   signing keys on Internet reachable servers makes them more vulnerable
   to attack.

   Additionally, generating signatures on-demand is more computationally
   intensive than returning pre-computed signatures.  Although the
   Compact Answers scheme reduces the number of online signing
   operations compared to previous techniques like White Lies, it still
   may make authoritative servers more vulnerable to computational
   denial of service attacks than pre-computed signatures.  The use of
   signature algorithms (like those based on Elliptic Curves) that have
   a comparatively low cost for signing is recommended.

   Some security tools rely on detection of non-existent domain names by
   examining the response code field of DNS response messages.  A
   NOERROR code in that field rather than NXDOMAIN will impact such
   tools.  Implementation of the optional response code restoration
   scheme will help recover NXDOMAIN visibility for these tools.  Note
   that the DNS header is not cryptographically protected, so the
   response code field cannot be authenticated.  Thus inferring the
   status of a response from signed data in the body of the DNS message
   is actually more secure.  These tools could be enhanced to recognize
   the (signed) NXNAME signal.

Internet-Draft    Compact Denial of Existence in DNSSEC       March 2024

   If the motivating aspects of this specification (minimizing response
   size and computational costs) are not a concern, DNSSEC deployments
   can opt for a different method (e.g.  traditional online signing or
   pre-computed signatures), and avoid imposing the challenges of
   NXDOMAIN visibility.

   The Compact Answers technique (then called "Black Lies") was
   originally proposed in [BLACK-LIES] by Filippo Valsorda and Olafur
   Gudmundsson, and implemented by Cloudflare.  The Empty Non-Terminal
   distinguisher RR type was originally proposed in [ENT-SENTINEL] by
   Shumon Huque, and deployed by NS1.  The NXNAME type is based on the
   FDOM type proposed in [NXDOMAIN-TYPE] by Gudmundsson and Valsorda.

   Especially detailed discussions on many technical aspects of this
   document were conducted with Paul Vixie, Jan Vcelak, Viktor Dukhovni,
   and Ed Lewis.  The authors would also like to thank the many other
   members of the IETF DNS Operations working group for helpful comments
   and discussions.

10.  IANA Considerations

   IANA is requested to allocate a new DNS Resource Record type code for
   NXNAME in the DNS parameters registry, from the meta type range.
   Specifically, the lowest available number (currently 128) in the meta
   range is requested to be allocated.  A lower number lowers the size
   of the type bitmap, which reduces the size of the DNS response
   message.
