1. Introduction
IPSECKEY [RFC4025) is a resource record (RR) for the Domain Name System (DNS) that is used to store public keys for use in IP security (IPsec) systems. The IPSECKEY RR relies on the IPSECKEY Algorithm Type Field registry [IANA-IPSECKEY] to enumerate the permissible formats for the public keys.¶
This documents adds support for Edwards-Curve Digital Security Algorithm (EdDSA) public keys in the format defined in [RFC8080] to the IPSECKEY RR.¶
2. IPSECKEY support for EdDSA
Use of an EdDSA public key encoded in the format specified in [RFC8080] in an IPSECKEY RR is indicated as follows:¶
Value Description TBD1 (suggested value 4) An EdDSA Public Key is present, in the format defined in [RFC8080]¶
3. IANA Considerations
3.1. IANA IPSECKEY Registry Update
This document requests IANA to update the "Description" field in existing entries of the "Algorithm Type Field" subregistry of the "IPSECKEY Resource Record Parameters" [IANA-IPSECKEY] to explicitly state that is for "Public" keys:¶
Value Description Format description Reference 0 No key is present [RFC4025] 1 A DSA Public Key [RFC2536], Sec. 2 [RFC4025] 2 A RSA Public Key [RFC3110], Sec. 2 [RFC4025] 3 An ECDSA Public Key [RFC6605], Sec. 4 [RFC4025]¶
Further, this document requests IANA to make the following addition to the "IPSECKEY Resource Record Parameters" [IANA-IPSECKEY] registry:¶
- IPSECKEY:
- This document defines the new IPSECKEY value TBD1 (suggested: 4) (Section 2) in the "Algorithm Type Field" subregistry of the "IPSECKEY Resource Record Parameters" registry.¶
Value Description Format description Reference TBD1 An EdDSA Public Key [RFC8080], Sec. 3 [ThisRFC]¶
