Introduction DNS Over HTTPS (DoH) [RFC8484] defines a mechanism to allow DNS messages to be transmitted in encrypted HTTP messages. This provides improved confidentiality and authentication for DNS interactions in various circumstances. While DoH can prevent eavesdroppers from directly reading the contents of DNS exchanges, it does not allow clients to send DNS queries and receive answers from servers without revealing their local IP address, and thus information about the identity or location of the client. Proposals such as Oblivious DNS ([I-D.annee-dprive-oblivious-dns]) allow increased privacy by not allowing any single DNS server to be aware of both the client IP address and the message contents. Kinnear, et al. Expires April 6, 2020 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Oblivious DoH October 2019 This document defines Oblivious DoH, an extension to DoH that allows for a proxied mode of resolution, in which DNS messages are encrypted in such a way that no DoH server can independently read both the client IP address and the DNS message contents. This mechanism is intended to be used as one option for resolving privacy-sensitive content in the broader context of Adaptive DNS [I-D.pauly-dprive-adaptive-dns-privacy]. 1.1. Specification of Requirements The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. 2. Terminology This document defines the following terms: Oblivious Proxy: A server that proxies encrypted client DNS queries to a resolution server that will be able to decrypt the query (the Oblivious Target). Oblivious DoH servers can function as proxies, but other non-resolver proxy servers could also be used. Oblivious Target: A resolution server that receives encrypted client DNS queries and generates encrypted DNS responses transferred via an Oblivious Proxy. 3. Deployment Requirements Oblivious DoH requires, at a minimum: o Two DoH servers, where one can act as an Oblivious Proxy, and the other can act as an Oblivious Target. o Public keys for encrypting DNS queries that are passed from a client through a proxy to a target (Section 6). These keys guarantee that only the intended Oblivious Target can decrypt client queries. o Client ability to generate random [RFC4086] one-time-use symmetric keys to encrypt DNS responses. These symmetric keys ensure that only the client will be able to decrypt the response from the Oblivious Target. They are only used once to prevent the Oblivious Target from tracking clients based on keys. Kinnear, et al. Expires April 6, 2020 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Oblivious DoH October 2019 The mechanism for discovering and provisioning the DoH URI Templates and public keys is via parameters added to DNS resource records. The mechanism for discovering the public key is decribed in Section 5. The mechanism for discovering a DoH URI Template is described in [I-D.pauly-dprive-adaptive-dns-privacy]. 4. HTTP Exchange Unlike direct resolution, oblivious hostname resolution over DoH involves three parties: 1. The Client, which generates queries. 2. The Oblivious Proxy, which is a resolution server that receives encrypted queries from the client and passes them on to another resolution server. 3. The Oblivious Target, which is a resolution server that receives proxied queries from the client via the Oblivious Proxy. 4.1. HTTP Request Oblivious DoH queries are created by the Client, and sent to the Oblivious Proxy. The proxy's address is determined from the authority of the proxy server's URI, while the authority information of the HTTP request reflects the authority of the target server. Likewise, when connecting to the proxy the client should use the proxy target's information for HTTPS certificate selection via SNI and when validating the resulting certificate. Oblivious DoH messages have no cache value since both requests and responses are encrypted using ephemeral key material. Clients SHOULD prefer using HTTP methods and headers that will prevent unhelpful cache storage of these exchanges (i.e., preferring POST instead of GET). Clients MUST set the HTTP Content-Type header to "application/ oblivious-dns-message" to indicate that this request is an Oblivious DoH query intended for proxying. Clients also SHOULD set this same value for the HTTP Accept header. The HTTP authority information (e.g., the HTTP/2 :authority psuedo- header or the HTTP/1 host header) MUST indicate the hostname of the Oblivious Target (not the Oblivious Proxy that initially receives the request), and the path information MUST conform to the path specified by the Oblivious Target's DoH URI Template. Kinnear, et al. Expires April 6, 2020 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Oblivious DoH October 2019 Upon receiving a request that contains a "application/oblivious-dns- message" Content-Type, the DoH server looks at the :authority and :path psuedo-headers. If the fields are equivalent to the DoH server's own hostname and configured path ([RFC7230] Section 2.7.3), then it is the target of the query, and it can decrypt the query (Section 7). If the fields do not indicate the local server, then the server is acting as an Oblivious Proxy. If it is a proxy, it is expected to send the request on to the Oblivious Target based on the authority identified in the HTTP request. 4.2. HTTP Request Example The following example shows how a client requests that an Oblivious Proxy, "dnsproxy.example.net", forwards an encrypted message to "dnstarget.example.net". :method = POST :scheme = https :authority = dnstarget.example.net :path = /dns-query accept = application/oblivious-dns-message cache-control = no-cache, no-store content-type = application/oblivious-dns-message content-length = 106 <Bytes containing the encrypted payload for an Oblivious DNS query> The Oblivious Proxy then sends the exact same request on to the Oblivious Target, without modification. 4.3. HTTP Response The response to an Oblivious DoH query is generated by the Oblivious Target. It MUST set the Content-Type HTTP header to "application/ oblivious-dns-message" for all successful responses. The body of the response contains a DNS message that is encrypted with the client's symmetric key (Section 7). All other aspects of the HTTP response and error handling are inherited from standard DoH. 4.4. HTTP Response Example The following example shows a response that can be sent from an Oblivious Target to a client via an Oblivious Proxy. Kinnear, et al. Expires April 6, 2020 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Oblivious DoH October 2019 :status = 200 content-type = application/oblivious-dns-message content-length = 154 <Bytes containing the encrypted payload for an Oblivious DNS response> 5. Public Key Discovery In order to use a DoH server as an Oblivious Target, the client must know a public key to use for encrypting its queries. This key can be discovered using the SVCB or HTTPSSVC record type ([I-D.nygren-dnsop-svcb-httpssvc]) for a name owned by the server. The key name is "odohkey", and has an encoded SvcParamKey value of 5. If present, this key/value pair contains the public key to use when encrypting Oblivious DoH messages that will be targeted at a DoH server. The format of the key is defined in (Section 6). Clients MUST only use keys that were retrieved from records protected by DNSSEC [RFC4033] to encrypt messages to an Oblivious Target. 6. Oblivious DoH Public Key Format An Oblivious DNS public key is a structure encoded, using TLS-style encoding [RFC8446], as follows: struct { uint16 kem_id; uint16 kdf_id; uint16 aead_id; opaque public_key<1..2^16-1>; } ObliviousDNSKey; It contains the information needed to encrypt a message under ObliviousDNSKey.public_key such that only the owner of the corresponding private key can decrypt the message. The values for ObliviousDNSKey.kem_id, ObliviousDNSKey.kdf_id, and ObliviousDNSKey.aead_id are described in [I-D.irtf-cfrg-hpke] Section 7. For convenience, let Identifier(ObliviousDNSKey) be defined as the SHA256 value of ObliviousDNSKey serialized. 7. Oblivious DoH Message Format There are two types of Oblivious DoH messages: Queries (0x01) and Responses (0x02). Both are encoded as follows: Kinnear, et al. Expires April 6, 2020 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Oblivious DoH October 2019 struct { uint8 message_type; opaque key_id<0..2^16-1>; opaque encrypted_message<1..2^16-1>; } ObliviousDNSMessage; ObliviousDNSMessage.message_type = 0x01 for Query messages and ObliviousDNSMessage.message_type = 0x02 for Response messages. ObliviousDNSMessage.key_id contains the identifier of the corresponding ObliviousDNSKey key. ObliviousDNSMessage.encrypted_message contains an encrypted message for the Oblivious Target (for Query messages) or client (for Response messages). The following sections describe how these meessage bodies are constructed. 7.1. Oblivious Queries Oblivious DoH Query messages must carry the following information: 1. A symmetric key under which the DNS response will be encrypted. The AEAD algorithm used for the client's response key is the one associated with the server's public key. 2. A DNS query message which the client wishes to resolve. 3. Padding of arbitrary length which MUST contain all zeros. The key and message are encoded using the following structure: struct { opaque response_key<1..2^16-1>; opaque dns_message<1..2^16-1>; opaque padding<0..2^16-1>; } ObliviousDNSQueryBody; Let M be a DNS message a client wishes to protect with Oblivious DoH. When sending an Oblivious DoH Query for resolving M to an Oblivious Target with ObliviousDNSKey key pk, a client does the following: 1. Generate a random symmetric response_key whose length matches that of the AEAD ciphersuite in pk.aead_id. All randomness must be generated according to [RFC4086]. 2. Create an ObliviousDNSQueryBody structure, carrying response_key, the message M, and padding, to produce Q_plain. 3. Unmarshal pk.public_key to produce a public key pkR of type pk.kem_id. Kinnear, et al. Expires April 6, 2020 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Oblivious DoH October 2019 4. Compute the encrypted message as Q_encrypted = encrypt_query_body(pkR, key_id, Q_plain). key_id is defined as Identifier(pk). 5. Output a ObliviousDNSMessage message Q where Q.message_type = 0x01, Q.key_id carries Identifier(pk), and Q.encrypted_message = Q_encrypted. The client then sends Q to the Oblivious Proxy according to Section 4.1. def encrypt_query_body(pkR, key_id, Q_plain): enc, context = SetupBaseI(pkR, "odns-query") aad = 0x01 || key_id ct = context.Seal(aad, Q_plain) Q_encrypted = enc || ct return Q_encrypted 7.2. Oblivious Responses An Oblivious DoH Response message carries the DNS response (dns_message) along with padding. This message is encrypted with the client's chosen response key. struct { opaque dns_message<1..2^16-1>; opaque padding<0..2^16-1>; } ObliviousDNSResponseBody; Targets that receive a Query message Q decrypt and process it as follows: 1. Look up the ObliviousDNSKey according to Q.key_id. If no such key exists, the Target MAY discard the query. Otherwise, let skR be the private key corresponding to this public key, or one chosen for trial decryption, and pk be the corresponding ObliviousDNSKey. 2. Compute Q_plain, error = decrypt_query_body(skR, Q.key_id, Q.encrypted_message). 3. If no error was returned, and Q_plain.padding is valid (all zeros), resolve Q_plain.dns_message as needed, yielding a DNS message M. 4. Create an ObliviousDNSResponseBody structure, carrying the message M and padding, to produce R_plain. Kinnear, et al. Expires April 6, 2020 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Oblivious DoH October 2019 5. Compute R_encrypted = encrypt_response_body(R_plain, Q_plain). (See definition for encrypt_response_body below. The key_id field used for encryption is empty, yielding 0x0000 as part of the AAD.) 6. Output a ObliviousDNSMessage message R where R.message_type = 0x02, R.key_id = nil, and R.encrypted_message = R_encrypted. def decrypt_query_body(skR, key_id, Q_encrypted): enc || ct = Q_encrypted dec, context = SetupBaseR(skR, "odns-query") aad = 0x01 || key_id Q_plain, error = context.Open(aad, ct) return Q_plain, error def encrypt_response_body(R_plain, Q_plain): aad = 0x02 || 0x0000 R_encrypted = Seal(Q_plain.response_key, 0^Nn, aad, R_plain) return R_encrypted The Target then sends R to the Proxy according to Section 4.3. The Proxy forwards the message R without modification back to the client as the HTTP response to the client's original HTTP request. Once the client receives the response, it can use its known response_key to decrypt R.encrypted_message, yielding R_plain. Clients MUST validate R_plain.padding (as all zeros) before using R_plain.dns_message. def decrypt_response_body(R_encrypted): aad = 0x02 || 0x0000 R_plain = Open(response_key, 0^Nn, aad, R_encrypted) return R_plain 8. Security Considerations DISCLAIMER: this is a work in progress draft and has not yet seen significant security analysis. Oblivious DoH aims to achieve the following goals: 1. Queries and answers are known only to clients and targets in possession of the corresponding response key and HPKE keying material. 2. Queries from the same client are unlinkable in the absence of unique per-client keys. Kinnear, et al. Expires April 6, 2020 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Oblivious DoH October 2019 Selection of padding length for ObliviousDNSQueryBody and ObliviousDNSResponseBody is outside the scope of this document. Implementations SHOULD follow the guidance for choosing padding length in [RFC8467]. 8.1. Denial of Service Malicious clients (or proxies) may send bogus Oblivious DoH queries to targets as a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. Target servers may throttle processing requests if such an event occurs. Malicious targets or proxies may send bogus answers in response to Oblivious DoH queries. Response decryption failure is a signal that either the proxy or target is misbehaving. Clients can choose to stop using one or both of these servers in the event of such failure. 9. IANA Considerations 9.1. Oblivious DoH Message Media Type This document registers a new media type, "application/oblivious-dns- message". Type name: application Subtype name: oblivious-dns-message Required parameters: N/A Optional parameters: N/A Encoding considerations: This is a binary format, containing encrypted DNS requests and responses, as defined in this document.
