Internet-Draft EPP DNS Security Extensions Mapping August 2005
1. Introduction
This document describes an extension mapping for version 1.0 of the
Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) described in RFC 3730 [1].
This mapping, an extension of the domain name mapping described in
RFC 3731 [2], is specified using the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
1.0 [3] and XML Schema notation ([4], [5]).
The EPP core protocol specification [1] provides a complete
description of EPP command and response structures. A thorough
understanding of the base protocol specification is necessary to
understand the mapping described in this document. Familiarity with
the Domain Name System (DNS) described in RFC 1034 [11] and RFC 1035
[12], and DNS security extensions described in RFC 4033 [13], RFC
4034 [6], and RFC 4035 [7] is required to understand the DNS security
concepts described in this document.
The EPP mapping described in this document specifies a mechanism for
the provisioning and management of DNS security extensions in a
shared central repository. Information exchanged via this mapping
can be extracted from the repository and used to publish DNSSEC
delegation signer (DS) resource records as described in RFC 4034 [6].
1.1 Conventions Used In This Document
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 BCP 14, RFC 2119 [8].
In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and "S:"
represents lines returned by a protocol server. "////" is used to
note element values that have been shortened to better fit page
boundaries. Indentation and white space in examples is provided only
to illustrate element relationships and is not a mandatory feature of
this protocol.
XML is case sensitive. Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
character case presented to develop a conforming implementation.
2. Object Attributes
This extension adds additional elements to the EPP domain name
mapping [2]. Only new element descriptions are described here.
This document describes operational scenarios in which a client can
create delegation signer (DS) information, add delegation signer
information, remove delegation signer information, and replace
Hollenbeck Expires February 9, 2006 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft EPP DNS Security Extensions Mapping August 2005
existing delegation signer information. Key data associated with the
DS information MAY be provided by the client, but the server is not
obligated to use the key data. The server operator MAY also issue
out-of-band DNS queries to retrieve the key data from the registered
domain's apex in order to evaluate the received DS information. It
is RECOMMENDED that the child zone operator have this key data online
in the DNS tree to allow the parent zone administrator to validate
the data as necessary and the key data SHOULD have the Secure Entry
Point (SEP) bit set as described in RFC 3757 [9].
2.1 Delegation Signer Information
Delegation signer (DS) information is published by a DNS server to
indicate that a child zone is digitally signed and that the parent
zone recognizes the indicated key as a valid zone key for the child
zone. A DS RR contains four fields: a key tag field, a key algorithm
number octet, an octet identifying the digest algorithm used, and a
digest field. See RFC 4034 [6] for specific field formats.
2.1.1 Public Key Information
Public key information provided by a client maps to the DNSKEY RR
presentation field formats described in section 2.2 of RFC 4034 [6].
A DNSKEY RR contains four fields: flags, a protocol octet, an
algorithm number octet, and a public key.
2.2 Booleans
Boolean values MUST be represented in the XML Schema format described
in Part 2 of the W3C XML Schema recommendation [5].
2.3 Maximum Signature Lifetime Values
Maximum signature lifetime values MUST be represented in seconds
using an extended XML Schema "int" format. The base "int" format,
which allows negative numbers, is described in Part 2 of the W3C XML
Schema recommendation [5]. This format is further restricted to
enforce a minimum value of one.
3. EPP Command Mapping
A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
in the EPP core protocol specification [1]. The command mappings
described here are specifically for use in provisioning and managing
DNS security extensions via EPP.
Hollenbeck Expires February 9, 2006 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft EPP DNS Security Extensions Mapping August 2005
3.1 EPP Query Commands
EPP provides three commands to retrieve object information: <check>
to determine if an object is known to the server, <info> to retrieve
detailed information associated with an object, and <transfer> to
retrieve object transfer status information.
3.1.1 EPP <check> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <check> command
or <check> response described in the EPP domain mapping [2].
3.1.2 EPP <info> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <info> command
described in the EPP domain mapping [2]. Additional elements are
defined for the <info> response.
When an <info> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain child elements as described in the EPP
domain mapping [2]. In addition, the EPP <extension> element MUST
contain a child <secDNS:infData> element that identifies the
extension namespace and the location of the extension schema. The
<secDNS:infData> element contains the following child elements:
One or more <secDNS:dsData> elements that describe the delegation
signer data provided by the client for the domain. The <secDNS:
dsData> element contains the following child elements:
A <secDNS:keyTag> element that contains a key tag value as
described in section 5.1.1 of RFC 4034 [6].
A <secDNS:alg> element that contains an algorithm value as
described in section 5.1.2 of RFC 4034 [6].
A <secDNS:digestType> element that contains a digest type value
as described in section 5.1.3 of RFC 4034 [6].
A <secDNS:digest> element that contains a digest value as
described in section 5.1.4 of RFC 4034 [6].
An OPTIONAL <secDNS:maxSigLife> element that indicates a
child's preference for the number of seconds after signature
generation when the parent's signature on the DS information
provided by the child will expire. If the <secDNS:maxSigLife>
is not present, the default signature expiration policy of the
server operator (as determined using an out-of-band mechanism)
applies.
Hollenbeck Expires February 9, 2006 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft EPP DNS Security Extensions Mapping August 2005
An OPTIONAL <secDNS:keyData> element that describes the key
data used as input in the DS hash calculation. The <secDNS:
keyData> element contains the following child elements:
A <secDNS:flags> element that contains a flags field value
as described in section 2.1.1 of RFC 4034 [6].
A <secDNS:protocol> element that contains a protocol field
value as described in section 2.1.2 of RFC 4034 [6].
A <secDNS:alg> element that contains an algorithm number
field value as described in sections 2.1.3 of RFC 4034 [6].
A <secDNS:pubKey> element that contains an encoded public
key field value as described in sections 2.1.4 of RFC 4034
[6].

An EPP error response MUST be returned if an <info> command can not
be processed for any reason.
3.1.3 EPP <transfer> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer>
command or <transfer> response described in the EPP domain mapping
[2].
3.2 EPP Transform Commands
EPP provides five commands to transform objects: <create> to create
an instance of an object, <delete> to delete an instance of an
object, <renew> to extend the validity period of an object,
<transfer> to manage object sponsorship changes, and <update> to
change information associated with an object.
3.2.1 EPP <create> Command
This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <create>
command described in the EPP domain mapping [2]. An additional
element is also defined for the EPP <create> response.
The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to create a domain object. In addition to the EPP command
elements described in the EPP domain mapping [2], the command MUST
contain an <extension> element. The <extension> element MUST contain
a child <secDNS:create> element that identifies the extension
namespace and the location of the extension schema. The <secDNS:
create> element MUST contain one or more <secDNS:dsData> elements.
Child elements of the <secDNS:dsData> element are described in
Section 3.1.2.
The <secDNS:dsData> element contains OPTIONAL <secDNS:maxSigLife> and
<secDNS:keyData> elements. The server MUST abort command processing
and respond with an appropriate EPP error if the values provided by
the client can not be accepted for syntax or policy reasons.

Internet-Draft EPP DNS Security Extensions Mapping August 2005
When a <create> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
response is as described in the EPP domain mapping [2].
3.2.2 EPP <delete> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <delete> command
or <delete> response described in the EPP domain mapping [2].
3.2.3 EPP <renew> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <renew> command
or <renew> response described in the EPP domain mapping [2].
3.2.4 EPP <transfer> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer>
command or <transfer> response described in the EPP domain mapping
[2].
3.2.5 EPP <update> Command
This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <update>
command described in the EPP domain mapping [2]. An additional
element is also defined for the EPP <update> response.
The EPP <update> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to modify the attributes of a domain object. In addition to
the EPP command elements described in the EPP domain mapping, the
command MUST contain an <extension> element. The <extension> element
MUST contain a child <secDNS:update> element that identifies the
extension namespace and the location of the extension schema. The
<secDNS:update> element contains a <secDNS:add> element to add
security information to a delegation, a <secDNS:rem> element to
remove security information from a delegation, or a <secDNS:chg>
element to replace security information with new security
information.
The <secDNS:update> element also contains an OPTIONAL "urgent"
attribute that can be used by a client to ask the server operator to
complete and implement the update request with high priority. This
attribute accepts boolean values as described in Section 2.2; the
default value is boolean false. "High priority" is relative to
standard server operator policies that are determined using an out-
of-band mechanism.
The <secDNS:add> element is used to add DS information to an existing
set. The <secDNS:add> element MUST contain one or more <secDNS:

The <secDNS:rem> element contains one or more <secDNS:keyTag>
elements that are used to remove DS data from a delegation. The
<secDNS:keyTag> element MUST contain a key tag value as described in
section 5.1.1 of RFC 4034 [6]. Removing all DS information can
remove the ability of the parent to secure the delegation to the
child zone.
The <secDNS:chg> element is used to replace existing DS information
with new DS information. The <secDNS:chg> element MUST contain one
or more <secDNS:dsData> elements as described in Section 3.1.2. The
data in these elements is used to replace whatever other data is
currently archived for the delegation.
The <secDNS:update> element contains an OPTIONAL "urgent" attribute.
In addition, the <secDNS:dsData> element contains OPTIONAL <secDNS:
maxSigLife> and <secDNS:keyData> elements. The server MUST abort
command processing and respond with an appropriate EPP error if the
values provided by the client can not be accepted for syntax or
policy reasons.

When an extended <update> command has been processed successfully,
the EPP response is as described in the EPP domain mapping [2]. A
server operator MUST return an EPP error result code of 2306 if an
urgent update (noted with an "urgent" attribute value of boolean
true) can not be completed with high priority.

4. Formal Syntax
An EPP object mapping is specified in XML Schema notation. The
formal syntax presented here is a complete schema representation of
the object mapping suitable for automated validation of EPP XML
instances. The BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schema; they
are used to note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI
registration purposes.

5. Internationalization Considerations
EPP is represented in XML, which provides native support for encoding
information using the Unicode character set and its more compact
representations including UTF-8 [14]. Conformant XML processors
recognize both UTF-8 and UTF-16 [15]. Though XML includes provisions
to identify and use other character encodings through use of an
"encoding" attribute in an <?xml?> declaration, use of UTF-8 is
RECOMMENDED in environments where parser encoding support
incompatibility exists.
As an extension of the EPP domain mapping [2], the elements, element
content, attributes, and attribute values described in this document
MUST inherit the internationalization conventions used to represent
higher-layer domain and core protocol structures present in an XML
instance that includes this extension.
6. IANA Considerations
This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
conforming to a registry mechanism described in RFC 3688 [10]. Two
URI assignments are requested.
Registration request for the extension namespace:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:secDNS-1.0
Registrant Contact: IESG
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
Registration request for the extension XML schema:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:secDNS-1.0
Registrant Contact: IESG
XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.
Hollenbeck Expires February 9, 2006 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft EPP DNS Security Extensions Mapping August 2005
7. Security Considerations
The mapping extensions described in this document do not provide any
security services beyond those described by EPP [1], the EPP domain
name mapping [2], and protocol layers used by EPP. The security
considerations described in these other specifications apply to this
specification as well.
As with other domain object transforms, the EPP transform operations
described in this document MUST be restricted to the sponsoring
client as authenticated using the mechanisms described in sections
2.9.1.1 and 7 of RFC 3730 [1]. Any attempt to perform a transform
operation on a domain object by any client other than the sponsoring
client MUST be rejected with an appropriate EPP authorization error.
The provisioning service described in this document involves the
exchange of information that can have an operational impact on the
DNS. A trust relationship MUST exist between the EPP client and
server, and provisioning of public key information MUST only be done
after the identities of both parties have been confirmed using a
strong authentication mechanism.
An EPP client might be acting as an agent for a zone administrator
who wants to send delegation information to be signed and published
by the server operator. Man-in-the-middle attacks are thus possible
as a result of direct client activity or inadvertent client data
manipulation.
Acceptance of a false key by a server operator can produce
significant operational consequences. The child and parent zones
MUST be consistent to properly secure the delegation. In the absence
of consistent signatures the delegation will not appear in the secure
name space, yielding untrustworthy query responses. If a key is
compromised, a client can either remove the compromised information
or update the delegation information via EPP commands using the
"urgent" attribute.
Operational scenarios requiring quick removal of a secure domain
delegation can be implemented using a two-step process. First,
security credentials can be removed using an "urgent" update as just
described. The domain can then be removed from the parent zone by
changing the status of the domain to either of the EPP "clientHold"
or "serverHold" domain status values. The domain can also be removed
from the zone using the EPP <delete> command, but this is a more
drastic step that needs to be considered carefully before use.
Data validity checking at the server requires computational
resources. A purposeful or inadvertent denial of service attack is
Hollenbeck Expires February 9, 2006 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft EPP DNS Security Extensions Mapping August 2005
possible if a client requests some number of update operations that
exceed a server's processing capabilities. Server operators SHOULD
take steps to manage command load and command processing requirements
to minimize the risk of a denial of service attack.
The signature lifetime values provided by clients are requests that
can be rejected. Blind acceptance by a server operator can have an
adverse impact on a server's processing capabilities. Server
operators SHOULD seriously consider adopting implementation rules to
limit the range of acceptable signature lifetime values to counter
potential adverse situations.
