CGA-TSIG: An Algorithm for Secure DNS Authentication and DNS
Confidentiality
                 <draft-rafiee-intarea-cga-tsig-08.txt>

Abstract

   This document describes a new mechanism for secure DNS authentication
   and DNS data confidentiality. The purpose of this document is to
   reduce human interaction during different DNS scenarios such as the
   communications of resolvers to stub resolvers, recursive resolvers to
   Authoritative Name Server, Dynamic DNS updates, (especially updating
   PTR and FQDN records (RFC4703)) and zone transfers. This document
   also considered for the support of both IPv4 and IPv6.

INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014


1.  Introduction

   Transaction SIGnature (TSIG) [RFC2845] is a protocol that provides
   endpoint authentication and data integrity through the use of one-way
   hashing and shared secret keys in order to establish a trust
   relationship between two or more hosts, which can be either a client
   and a server, or two servers. The TSIG keys, which are manually
   exchanged between a group of hosts, need to be maintained in a secure
   manner. This protocol is mostly used today to secure a Dynamic DNS
   Update, or to assure a Slave Server that the zone transfer is from
   the original Master Server and that it has not been corrupted. It
   does this by verifying the signature using a cryptographic key that
   is shared with the receiver.

   Handling this shared secret in a secure manner and exchanging it does
   not appear to be easy. This is especially true if the IP addresses
   are dynamic or the shared secret is exposed to the attacker. To
   address these existing problems with TSIG, as well as considering DNS
   data protection (privacy), and to solve existing problems with the
   current DNS security extensions, this document proposes two
   algorithms which support both IPv4 and IPv6 scenarios. In the IPv6
   scenario, the algorithms use Cryptographically Generated Addresses
   (CGA) [RFC3972] or Secure Simple Addressing Scheme for IPv6
   Autoconfiguration (SSAS) as a new algorithm in the TSIG Resource
   Record (RR). CGA is an important option available in Secure Neighbor
   Discovery (SeND) [RFC3971], which provides nodes with the necessary
   proof of IP address ownership by providing a cryptographic binding
   between a host's public key and its IP address without the need for
   the introduction of infrastructure.

   This document addresses the DNS data confidentiality by using both
   asymmetric and symmetric cryptography. This document updates the
   following sections in TSIG document:

   - Section 4.2: The server MUST not generate a signed response to an
   unsigned request => The server MUST not generate a signed response to
   an unsigned request, unless the Algorithm Name filed contains
   CGA-TSIG or CGA-TSIGe.

   - Section 4.5.2: It MUST include the client's current time in the
   time signed field, the server's current time (a u_int48_t) in the
   other data field, and 6 in the other data length field => It MUST
   include the client's current time in the time signed field, the
   server's current time (a u_int48_t) in the other data field, and if
   the Algorithm Name is CGA-TSIG or CGA-TSIGe, then add the length of
   this client's current time to the total length of Other DATA field.
   The client's current time in this case will be placed after the
   CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe Data.


1.1.  Problem Statement



Rafiee, et al.     Expires December 2, 2014                     [Page 4]


INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014

   There are several different methods where DNS records can become
   compromised. Some examples of methods are DNS Spoofing; DNS
   Amplification Attacks; Resolver Source IP Spoofing; Unauthorized DNS
   Update; User Privacy Attack; and Human Intervention.


1.2.  Current Solutions and Requirements


1.2.1.  Transaction SIGnature (TSIG)

   Advantages:

   - Provide a secure level authentication

   - Signs DNS messages

   Disadvantages:

   - Not scalable and applicable for specific scenarios. Currently there
   is little deployment of TSIG for resolver authentication with
   clients. One reason is that resolvers respond to anonymous queries
   and can be located in any part of the network.

   - Offline exchange of shared secrets. For each group of hosts there
   needs to be one shared secret and the administrator will need to
   manually add it to the DNS configuration file for each of these
   hosts. This manual process will need to be invoked in the case where
   one of these hosts is compromised and the shared secret is well known
   to the attacker. It will also have to be invoked in the case where
   any of these hosts needs to change their IP addresses, such as
   privacy issues explained in RFC4941 [RFC4941], or when moving
   networks, etc. The manual TSIG process for the exchange of shared
   secrets makes it difficult to configure each new client with the
   shared secret of a DNS server like a resolver. Another problem with
   TSIG would be when this shared secret is leaked and makes it
   necessary to repeat this process.

   - Does not easily protect DNS data confidentiality. TSIG provides the
   node with transaction level authentication and it is not used for
   encrypting the content of DNS messages.


1.2.2.  DNS Security Extension (DNSSEC)

   Advantages:

   - Signs DNS messages and provide data integrity

   - Authorize a node to update certain zone file

   Disadvantages:



Rafiee, et al.     Expires December 2, 2014                     [Page 5]


INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014

   - Offline generation of the signature

   DNSSEC [RFC6840] needs manual step for the configuration. For
   instance, when a DNSSEC needs to sign the zone offline.

   - IP spoofing

   The public key verification in DNSSEC creates a chicken-and- egg
   situation. In other words, the key for verifying messages should be
   obtained from the DNSSEC server itself. This is why a query requester
   needs to verify the key.

   If this does not happen, DNSSEC is vulnerable to an IP spoofing
   attack.

   - Does not easily protect DNS data confidentiality for the resolver
   scenario

   Since a part of configuration is manual and DNS resolver needs to
   answer to anonymous queries, it is not possible to exchange the DNS
   keys with anonymous nodes over the internet. Even though it was
   possible, there is still no clear solution to encrypt all the data
   during DNS resolving scenario.

   messages.

   - Name Server: A server that supports DNS service.

   - Recursive Name Server: A Name Server that responds to all queries.

   - Stub Resolver: A DNS resolver that is unable to resolve queries
   recursively, and relies on a Recursive DNS Server to resolve queries.

   - Authoritative Name Server: Provides answers to DNS queries that it
   contains in its system configuration.

   There are two types of Authoritative Name Servers:

   1.   Master Server (Primary ): A Master Server stores the original
   copies of all zone records. Each Slave Server gets updated via a
   special automatic updating mechanism within the DNS protocol. All
   Slave Servers maintain identical copies of the master records.

   2.   Slave Server (Secondary): A Slave Server is an exact replica of
   the master server.

   - Root Name Server: An Authoritative Name Server for the root domain
   (i.e., '.' (dot))

   - Client: a client can be any computer (server, laptop, etc) that
   only supports stub DNS servers and not other DNS services. It can be
   a mail server, web server or a laptop computer.

   - Node: a node can be anything such as a client, a DNS server
   (resolver, authoritative) or a router.

   - Host: all nodes except routers


4.  Algorithm Overview

   The following sections explain the CGA-TSIG data structure in IPv4
   and IPv6 scenarios. A CGA-TSIG data structure is an option to the
   TSIG Resource Record (RR).


4.1.  CGA-TSIG


4.1.1.  The CGA-TSIG DATA Structure

   The CGA-TSIG data structure SHOULD be added to the Other DATA section
   of the RDATA field in the TSIG Resource Record (RR) (see figures 1
   and 2). The DNS RRTYPE MUST be set to TSIG [RFC2845]. The RDATA
   Algorithm Name MUST be set to CGA-TSIG. The CGA-TSIG name is used
   when there is no need for DNS data confidentiality. The CGA-TSIGe
   (Please refer to section 4.2) is used when all parts of a DNS message

   should be encrypted to provide data confidentiality. The Name MUST be
   set to root (.).This is the smallest possible value that can be used.
   The MAC Size MUST be set to 0 when the Algorithm Name is CGA-TSIG.

   A detailed explanation of the standard RDATA fields can be found in
   section 2.3 [RFC2845]. This document focuses only on the new
   structure added to the Other DATA section. These new fields are
   CGA-TSIG Len and CGA-TSIG DATA. The TSIG RR is added to an additional
   section of the DNS message.

4.1.2.  CGA-TSIG Data

   The following table explains the CGA-TSIG data structure. Fields that
   are marked (varies) are different depending on IPv6 or IPv4.

   CGA-TSIG DATA Field Name   Data Type     Notes
   --------------------------------------------------------------
   AsyAlgorithm          15 octet    Asymetric algorithm. IANA numeric value for RSA
   algorithm 1.2.840.113549.1.1.1[RFC4055]
   Type                  u_int16_t   (varies) Name of algorithm
   IP Tag                4 octet     (varies) Tag used to identify the IP address
   Parameters Len        octet       Length of parameters
   Parameters            variable    (varies)
   Signature Len         octet       Length of CGA signature
   Signature             variable    Section 3.2.1 of this document
   Old Pubkey Len        variable    Length of old public key field
   Old Pubkey            variable    Old public key in ASN.1 DER format
   (same format as public key)
   Old Signature Len     variable    Length of old signature field
   Old Signature         variable    Old signature generated by old
   public key.

   The IP Tag is one of the old IP addresses of the Node. A client's
   public key can be associated with several IP addresses on a server.
   The DNS server SHOULD store the IP addresses and the public keys to
   indicate their association. If a client wants to add RRs by using a
   new IP address, then the IP tag field will be zeroed out. The server
   will then store the new IP address that was passed to it in storage.
   If the client wants to replace an existing IP address in a DNS Server
   with a new one, then the IP Tag field will be populated with the IP
   address which is to be replaced. The DNS server will then look for
   the IP address referenced by the IP tag stored and replace it with
   the new one. This enables the client to update his own RRs using
   multiple IP addresses while, at the same time, giving him the ability
   to change IP addresses. If a Node changes its public key, then it
   MUST add the old public key to the Old Pubkey field. It MUST also
   retrieve the current time from the Time Signed field, sign it using
   the old private key, and then add the signature to the old signature
   field. This enables the verifier node to authenticate a host with a
   new public key. The verification steps are explained in detail in
   sections 5.1., 6.1 and 7.1.


4.1.2.1.  IPv6 Specific Data

   For IPv6, the Type field indicates the Interface ID generation
   algorithm that is used in SeND (An Interface ID is the 64 rightmost
   bits of an IPv6 address). The field allows for future development.
   The default value for CGA is 1. IP Tag for IPv6 is 16 octets.

4.1.2.2.  IPv4 Specific Data

   For IPv4, the Type field indicates the hashing function used to
   generate the hash of (public key + IPv4). By default, it is SHA256.
   This value SHOULD be set to 1 for SHA256 and other numeric
   incremental value for other SHA algorithms. This allows for future
   hashing functions.


4.1.3.  Generation of CGA-TSIG DATA

   In order to use CGA-TSIG as an authentication approach, some of the
   parameters need to be cached during IP address generation. If no
   parameters are available in the cache, please see section 6.

   1. Obtain Require Parameters From Cache.

   For IPv6, if the Type Field above is CGA, then the parameters that
   SHOULD be cached are the modifier, algorithm type, location of the
   public/private keys and the IP addresses of the host. For IPv4, the
   location to the key pairs need to be cached in order to generate the
   signature. If this node changes its IP address, it also needs to
   cache the old IP address.

   Note: If the node is a DNS server (resolver or Authoritative Name
   Server) that does not support SeND but wants to use the CGA-TSIG
   algorithm, a script can be used to generate the CGA parameters.
   (Please refer to the section 10.2. appendix)

   2. Generate Signature

   The 128-bit CGA Message Type tag value for SeND is 0x086F CA5E 10B2
   00C9 9C8C E001 6427 7C08. This value is concatenated with the entire
   DNS message (Please refer to figure 3 and figure 4) and the private
   key obtained from the cache. This signature MUST be added to the
   signature field of the CGA-TSIG DATA record. The Time Signed field
   uses the same timestamp in RDATA. This will prevent replay attacks by
   changing the signature each time a Node sends a DNS message. The
   format of DNS messages is explained in section 4.1.3 [RFC1035].

   3. Generate Old Signature

   If the Nodes generated new key pairs, they need to add the old public
   key, signed by the old private key, to the CGA-TSIG DATA. A Node will
   sign the new public key with the old private key, and then will add
   the contents of this signature to the old signature field of CGA-TSIG
   DATA. This step MUST be skipped when the Node did not generate new
   key pairs.

4.2.  CGA-TSIGe

   One possible solution to provide the DNS server with data
   confidentiality during DNS update or other DNS query processes is the
   use of symmetric encryption with CGA-TSIG that is called CGA-TSIGe.


4.2.1.  The CGA-TSIGe DATA Structure

   The Node MUST set the Algorithm Type in TSIG RDATA to CGA-TSIGe.
   Other sections of CGA-TSIGe DATA are similar to CGA-TSIG DATA. This

   hash of the whole DNS message (see figure 3 and 4 for the whole DNS
   message). This is used for data integrity of the packet. For SHA256,
   the value of hashing algorithm SHOULD set to 1. For other hashing
   algorithms, this 3 bits SHOULD set to sequential value after one. The
   field Message Hash Len is the length of Message Hash.

4.2.2.  Generation of CGA-TSIGe DATA


4.2.2.1.  IPv6 Specifics

   Nodes can securely obtain the IP address of DNS resolvers from the
   DHCPv6 server (use SAVI-DHCP [savi-dhcp]); or from a DNS option of
   Router Advertisement message [RFC6106] after authenticating with the
   router via a trusted authority. The IP addresses can be generated
   using CGA, SSAS or other mechanisms. (tjw:Last Sentence)

   This is the same approach that a Node can use for obtaining a DNS
   server IP address during a Dynamic DNS update. However, for a zone
   transfer to avoid any malicious update to DNS server, it is
   RECOMMENDED that this IP address is set manually on the DNS server
   for the first time.

INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014


   1. Retrieve Public Key of DNS Server

   To encrypt the DNS message using a symmetric algorithm for
   performance purposes, first, a Node needs to retrieve the public key
   of the DNS server. It is possible to use the current DNSKEY RR
   [RFC3757] to send the public key of the DNS server. When the client
   wants to update any records on the DNS server, it first sends a DNS
   message asking for the public key of the DNS Server. The DNS Server
   then answers this query and includes the public key contained in the
   DNSKEY RR with the SEP flag set to zero (0). This indicates that it
   is not the zone key. It is also possible to use the RR format
   explained in section 4.2.1 of this document. The DNS server SHOULD
   include CGA-TSIGe DATA so that the client can verify its IP address.
   In this case, there will be a binding between a DNS Server's public
   key and its IP address. If the Node can verify the DNS Server public
   key (explained below), it goes to step 2. Otherwise it discards the
   DNS message without further action.

   2. Obtain Required Parameters From Cache.

   This step is the same as what is explained in section 4.1.3.

   3. Generation of Secret Key

   After a successful verification, the Node generates a 16 byte random
   number called a secret key. The Node can use any algorithm explained
   in [RFC4086] to generate a good randomized value. It encrypts the
   secret key using the DNS Server public key. Then, the Node sets the
   MAC in TSIG RDATA to the digest of secret key and set the MAC Size to
   the length of this digest. The DNS Server knows what to do with MAC
   field from the Algorithm Type in TSIG. If it is CGA-TSIGe, then it
   looks for this encrypted secret key.

   4. Encryption of DNS message

   The Node uses the secret key generated in the previous step to
   encrypt the header, zone section, prerequisite, and update section
   for the DNS update message (see figure7) or encrypt header, question,
   answer, authority of a DNS Query (see figure 8). It then calculates
   the length of a digest as a number of bytes in multiples of 8. For
   example, if the digest is 242 bytes then 242 = (30 * 8) + 2.
   Therefore, 6 bytes are added as padding, and then 31 is placed at the
   beginning of digest (see figure 9). If there is no padding for the
   digest then one zero-filled byte will be added at the end of digest.
   This allows the DNS Server to interpret this digest as a long string.

   additional data.

   The digest will be interpreted like the following table.

   ------------------------------------------
   0x1f       String of length 248 follows
   0x777777.. String is xxxxxx
   0x00       End of this string
   5. Generation of Message Hash

   In a case where a DNS Server responds to anonymous queries, as in a
   DNS Resolver scenario, the Node executes SHA256 by default on the
   whole DNS message. This includes the additional section and the TSIG
   RR as a part of additional section of DNS message. It then computes
   the Message Hash Len. In this case the message does not need to be
   signed by the Node using its private key. This is because the DNS
   Server does not expect to verify the Node and it only checks for the
   message integrity (tjw:and confidentiality). In the case a message
   contains Message Hash, the Node MUST set the Parameters Len ,
   Signature Len, Old Pubkey Len and Old Signature Len to zero (0) and
   it SHOULD skips steps 6 and 7.

   6. Generation of Signature

   This step is the same as what is explained in section 4.1.3.

   7. Generation of Old Signature

   This step is the same as what is explained in section 4.1.3.


4.2.2.2.  IPv4 Scenario

   The key pairs needs to be cached in order to generate a signature. If
   this Node changes its IP address, it also needs to cache the old IP
   address. Similar to the IPv6 scenario, the Node can obtain the hash
   of (public key + IPv4) and the IPv4 address of the DNS server from a
   DHCPv4 server. It can use [savi-dhcp]. If this Node is in unsecured
   environment, it can manually add the hash of (public key + IPv4
   address) of its trusted DNS server. This is especially true in the
   Resolver scenario. The implementers SHOULD define a possibility for
   users to change the default value for CGA-TSIGe.

   1. Retrieves Public Key of DNS server

   This is similar to IPv6 scenario.

   2. Obtain Required Parameters From Cache.

   This step is the same as what is explained in section 4.1.4.

   3. Generation of Secret Key

   4. Encryption of DNS Message

   5. Generation of Message Hash

   All Three are similar to IPv6 scenario.

   6. Generation of Signature

   This step is the same as what is explained in section 4.1.4.

   7. Generation of Old Signature

   This step is the same as what is explained in section 4.1.4.


4.2.3.  Process of Encrypted DNS Message

   When the DNS server receives the message from any node with TSIG
   RDATA Algorithm type set to CGA-TSIGe, it executes the following
   steps:

   1- Retrieves The Secret Key

   The DNS server retrieves the secret key from MAC field. It then
   decrypts this secret key using its own private key.

   2- Decrypts the DNS Message

   The DNS server decrypts the DNS server message using this secret key
   and the symmetric algorithm, which by default is AES. The DNS server
   can then start the verification process explained in the next
   section.


5.  CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe Use Case Scenarios


5.1.  DNS Zone Transfer

   This section discusses the use of CGA-TSIGe for the secure
   authentication and encryption of DNS messages exchanged between a
   Master Server and a Slave Server. In the case of processing a DNS
   zone update ([AI]XFR) for multiple DNS servers (authenticating two
   DNS servers), there are three possible scenarios with regard to the
   authentication process which differs from that of the authentication
   of a Node (client) with one DNS server. This is needed for human
   intervention. Since the zone contains important information, both DNS
   servers MUST use CGA-TSIGe and encrypt the values. The only exception
   is when CGA-TSIG is required for secure authentication and the data
   encryption is handled by other protocols.

   a. Add The DNS servers' IP address To A Slave Server Configuration
   (IPv6 only)



Rafiee, et al.     Expires December 2, 2014                    [Page 17]


INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014

   A DNS server administrator should only manually add the IP address of
   the Master Server to the configuration file of the Slave Server. When
   the DNS update message is processed, the Slave Server can
   authenticate the Master Server based on the source IP address and
   then, prove the ownership of this address by use of the CGA-TSIGe
   option from the TSIG RR. This scenario will be valid until the IP
   address in any of these DNS servers, changes.

   To automate this process, the sender's public key of the DNS Update
   message must be saved on the other DNS server, after the source IP
   address has been successfully verified for the first time. In this
   case, when the sender generates a new IP address by executing the CGA
   algorithm using the same public key, the other DNS server can still
   verify it and add its new IP address to the DNS configuration file
   automatically.

   b. Retrieve Public/Private Keys From A Third Party Trusted Authority
   (TA) (IPv6 only)

   The message exchange option of SeND [RFC3971] may be used for the
   retrieval of third party certificates. This may be done automatically
   from the TA by using the Certificate Path Solicitation and
   Certificate Path Advertisement messages. Like in section 5.2, the
   certificate should be saved on the DNS server for later use. Whenever
   any of those servers want to generate a new IP address, the DNS
   update process can be accomplished without human intervention.

   c. Store The Hash of (public key + IPv4 address) to DNS configuration
   file (IPv4 and IPv6)

   An administrator needs to manually generate the hash of the
   concatenation of public key with the IPv4 address of the authorized
   node the DNS configuration file. Whenever a node wants to change its
   IP address or public key, the DNS server can generates this value
   automatically and compare with the old value it has and then after a
   successful verification steps (it will be explain in next section),
   it will replace the old hash value with the new one.


5.1.1.  Verification Process

   Sender authentication is necessary in order to prevent attackers from
   making unauthorized modifications to DNS servers through the use of
   spoofed DNS messages. The verification process uses the following
   steps:

   1. Verify The Signature (IPv4 and IPv6)

   The Signature contained in CGA-TSIGe DATA should be verified. This
   can be done by retrieving the public key and signature from CGA-TSIGe
   DATA and using this public key to verify the signature. If the
   verification process is successful, then execute step 2. Otherwise,
   the message should be discarded.

INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014


   2. Check The Time Signed (IPv4 and IPv6)

   The Time Signed value is obtained from TSIG RDATA and is called t(1).
   The current system time is then obtained and converted to UTC time
   and is called t(2). Fudge time is obtained from TSIG RDATA and is
   called t(fudge). If t(1) is in the range of t(2) and t(2) minus/plus
   t(Fudge) (see formula 1), then step 3 will be executed. Otherwise,
   the message will be considered spoofed and discarded. The range is
   used in consideration of the delays that can occur during its
   transmission over TCP or UDP. Both times must use UTC time in order
   to avoid differences in time based on different geographical
   locations.

   (t(1) - t(fudge)) <= t(2) <=(t(1) + t(fudge))

   Formula: (1)

   3. Execute The CGA Verification (IPv6 only)

   These steps are in section 5 of [RFC3972]. If the sender of the DNS
   message uses another algorithm, instead of CGA, then this step
   becomes the verification step for that algorithm. If the verification
   process is successful, then step 6 will be executed. Otherwise the
   message will be discarded without further action.

   4. Generate The Hash of (public key + IP address) (IPv4 only)

   The DNS server retrieves the hashing Algorithm Type from the
   CGA-TSIGe DATA structure. It then concatenates the Public Key with
   the IP address of the update requester and executes the SHA256
   algorithm (by default) or another algorithm identified in Type
   section of CGA-TSIG DATA RRTYPE. It then compares it with the hash
   value available in the DNS configuration. If they are the same, the
   Update Message should be processed, otherwise, go to step 5.

   5. Generate The Hash of (Old Public Key + IPv4 Address) (IPv4 only)

   If the Old Public Key Length is zero, then skip this step and discard
   the DNS update message. If the Old Public Key Length is not zero,
   then the DNS server retrieves the hashing algorithm Type from the
   CGA-TSIGe DATA structure. It then concatenates Old Public Key with
   the IP address of the update requester and execute the SHA256
   algorithm (by default) or another algorithm identified in Type
   section of CGA-TSIGe DATA. It then compares it with the hash value
   available in the DNS configuration. If they are the same, the Update
   Message should be processed, otherwise, go to step 8.

   6. Verify The Source IP Address (IPv6 only)

   The source IP Address of the Update requester MUST be checked against
   the one contained in the DNS configuration. If they are the same, the
   Update Message should be processed, otherwise, proceed to step 7.

   7. Verify The Public Key (IPv6 only)

   The DNS server checks whether or not the public key retrieved from
   CGA-TSIGe DATA is the same as what is available in the cache where
   the public keys and IP addresses are saved. If this Public Key is not
   found in the cache, then the update will be rejected. Otherwise, when
   the Old Public Key Length is not zero go to step 8.

   8. Verify The Old Public Key (IPv4 and IPv6)

   If the Old Public Key Length is zero, skip this step and discard the
   DNS update message. If the Old Public Key Length is not zero, then
   the DNS server will retrieve the Old Public Key from CGA-TSIGe DATA
   and check to see if it is the same as what was saved in the DNS
   server's cache. If they are the same, execute step 6, otherwise
   discard the message.

   7. Verify The Old Signature (IPv4 and IPv6)

   The Old Signature contained in CGA-TSIGe DATA should be verified.
   This can be done by retrieving the Old Public Key and the Old
   Signature from CGA-TSIGe DATA and then using this Old Public Key to
   verify the Old Signature. If the verification is successful, the
   Update Message should be processed and the New Public Key should be
   replaced with the Old Public Key in the DNS server. If the
   verification process fails, discard the message.


5.2.  The FQDN Or PTR Update (IPv6 only)

   Normally the DHCPv6 server will update the client's RRs on their
   behalf in the scenario where SeND is used as a secure NDP, the Nodes
   will need to do this process unless a stateless DHCPv6 server is
   available. CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe can be used to give Nodes the ability
   of doing this process themselves. In this case the clients need to
   include the CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe option to allow the DNS server to
   verify them. The verification process is the same as that explained
   in the next section except for step 4.


5.2.1.  Verification Process

   The verification steps are the same as those is explained in section
   5.1.1, but removing step 4 and modifying step 5.

   1. Verify The Signature

   2. Check The Time Signed

   3. Execute The CGA Verification

   4. Verify The Public Key

INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014


   The DNS server checks if the public key retrieved from
   CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe DATA is the same as what was available in cache.
   If no entry is found for this public key, and the FQDN or PTR is also
   not available in the DNS server, then the DNS server will store the
   public key of this Node and add this Node's PTR and FQDN. Otherwise
   if any PTR is available, and the Node IP tag is empty, or there is
   currently another public key associated with the Node's FQDN, then
   the update will be skipped. Otherwise, if the Old Public Key Length
   is not zero, go to step 5.

   5. Verify The Public Key

   6. Verify The Old Public Key

   7. Verify The Old Signature


5.3.  DNS Resolving Scenario (stub to recursive)

   A DNS query request sent by a host, such as a client or a mail
   server, does not need to generate CGA-TSIG DATA because the resolver
   responds to anonymous queries. The Resolver's response SHOULD contain
   the CGA-TSIG DATA field in order to verify him. However, the client
   needs to include the TSIG RDATA and set the Algorithm Type to
   CGA-TSIG, and it MUST set the CGA-TSIG Len to zero (0). This allows
   the resolver to include CGA-TSIG in the client.

   If the Node needs to deploy DNS data confidentiality, then it needs
   to set the Algorithm Type to CGA-TSIGe and follows the step explained
   in section 4.2.2. In this particular scenario, the Node MUST set
   Message Hash in CGA-TSIGe. This allows the DNS server to ensure data
   integrity without going to the process of message decryption.

   In the generation of the CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe for a Resolver, there is
   no need to include the IP Tag. This is because the Resolvers do not
   usually have several IP addresses so the client does not need to keep
   several IP addresses for the same resolver.


5.3.1.  Client Verification Process (CGA-TSIGe only)

   1. Retrieves Hashing Algorithm From CGA-TSIGe

   The resolver retrieves the hashing algorithm from CGA-TSIGe Type
   field.

   2. Executes Hashing Algorithm on DNS Message

   The Resolver computes the SHA algorithm on the whole DNS message. It
   compares this with the value obtained from Message Hash of CGA-TSIGe.
   If they are the same, it decrypts the message using the shared secret
   obtained from the MAC section of the Other DATA section of TSIG

   RRType.


5.3.2.  Resolver Verification Process

   When a Resolver responds to the client's query request for the first
   time, the client saves its Public Key in a file. This allows the
   client to verify this Resolver when it changes its IP Address due to
   privacy or security concerns. The steps 2 and 3 of the verification
   process are the same as those steps explained in section 5.1.1. These
   steps are as follows:

   1. Verify The Hash of Public Key (IPv4 only)

   The client retrieves the SHA Algorithm Type from the Type section of
   CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe, concatenates the Resolver's Public Key with the
   Resolver's IP address, and computes the SHA algorithm on the result.
   The client compares this value with the value in its cache (received
   securely from a DHCP server or manually set by client). If they are
   the same, it stores its Public Key in its cache, and continues onto
   the next step. Otherwise the message will be discarded.

   2. Verify The Signature (IPv4 and IPv6)

   The Signature contained in CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe DATA can be verified by
   retrieving the Public Key and Signature from the CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe
   DATA. If the verification process is successful, continue onto step
   3, otherwise the message will be discarded.

   3. Check The Time Signed (IPv4 and IPv6)

   4. Execute The CGA Verification (IPv6 only)

   5. Verify The Source IP Address (IPv6 only)

   If the Resolver's source IP address is the same as that which is
   known for the host or the length of Old Public Key is not zero (0),
   then step 6 will be executed. Otherwise the message SHOULD be
   discarded without further action.

   6. Verify The Public Key (IPv6 only)

   The client checks whether or not the Public Key retrieved from
   CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe DATA matches any Public Key that was previously
   saved in the storage where the Public Key and IP addresses of
   Resolvers are saved. If there is a match, then the message is
   processed. If not, then step 7 will be executed.

   7. Verify The Old Public Key (IPv4 and IPv6)

   If the Old Public Key Length is zero (0), discard this message
   without further action. If the Old Public Key Length is not zero(0),
   then the host will retrieve the Old Public Key from


Rafiee, et al.     Expires December 2, 2014                    [Page 22]


INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014

   CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe DATA and will check whether or not it is the same
   as what was saved in the host's storage where the Public Keys and IP
   addresses are stored. If it is the same, then step 8 will be
   executed.

   8. Verify The Old Signature (IPv4 and IPv6)

   The Old Signature contained in CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe DATA can be
   verified by retrieving the Old Public Key and Old Signature from
   CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe DATA and then using this Old Public Key to verify
   the Old Signature. If the verification is successful, the DNS Message
   should be processed and the New Public Key should be replaced with
   the Old Public Key of the Resolver in the host. If the verification
   process fails, then the message will be discarded.


5.4.  DNS Resolving Scenario (Authoritative NS to Recursive NS)

   This verification step of Authoritative Name Server to Recursive Name
   Server is the same as that explained in section 5.3.1. In this case
   the Recursive Name Server does not need to generate CGA-TSIG DATA,
   but the Root Name Server does need to include it in order to enable
   the Recursive Name Server to verify it. The Recursive Name Server
   needs to include the TSIG RDATA and set the Algorithm Type to
   CGA-TSIG. It MUST set the CGA-TSIG Len to zero (0). This allows the
   Root Name Server to know when to include CGA-TSIG for verification
   process in client.

   In case the node needs to use DNS data confidentiality, then it needs
   to set the Algorithm Type to CGA-TSIGe and follows the step explained
   in section 4.2.2. In this particular scenario, the Node MUST set the
   Message Hash in CGA-TSIGe. This allows the DNS server to ensure the
   data integrity of this message without going to the process of
   message decryption.


6.  SeND Is Not Supported (IPv6 only)

   In the case where there are no cache parameters available during the
   IP Address generation, there are then two scenarios that come into
   play here. In the first scenario there is the case where the sender
   of a DNS message needs to generate a key pair and generate the
   CGA-TSIG or CGA-TSIGe data structure as explained in section 4.1 or
   section 4.2. The Node SHOULD skip the first section of the
   verification processes explained in section 5.1.1, section 5.2.1, and
   section 5.3.1.

   In the second scenario, as explained in section 4.1.3 (step 1), it is
   not necessary for the server to support the SeND or CGA algorithm.
   The DNS administrator can make a one-time use of a CGA script to
   generate the CGA parameters and then manually configure the IP
   address of the DNS server. Later, the DNS server can use those values
   as a means for authenticating other Nodes. The verifier Nodes also do


Rafiee, et al.     Expires December 2, 2014                    [Page 23]


INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014

   not necessarily need to support SeND. They only need to support
   CGA-TSIG.

   In the third scenario, as explained in section 4.1.4, the Node can
   use the same approach used for IPv4 and retrieve the hash of (Public
   Key + IPv6 Address) from the DHCPv6 server.


7.  CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe Sample Applications

   The purpose of CGA-TSIG and CGA-TSIGe is to minimize the human
   intervention required to accomplish a shared secret or key exchange,
   with the end result of providing data confidentiality to prevent DNS
   spoofing. Minimizing the amount of human intervention reduces the
   vulnerability to attacks introduced by human errors.

   As explained above, CGA-TSIG and CGA-TSIGe can be used in different
   scenarios. For the FQDN update scenario, CGA-TSIG is useful in
   dynamic networks where the nodes want to change their IP addresses
   frequently in order to maintain privacy. If the Dynamic Host
   Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is in use, then the DHCP server can do
   this update on behalf of the nodes in this network on a DNS server.
   But with the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), there is no feature
   available that allows the host security update process for its own
   FQDN. In this case, CGA-TSIG can be a solution.

   In the Resolver scenario, the Resolver can add the TSIG Resource
   Record (RR) to the DNS query response and use the CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe
   algorithm to authenticate the result or DNS data protection. CGA-TSIG
   assures the client that the query response comes from the true
   originator and not from an attacker. CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe also ensures
   the integrity/and confidentiality of the data by signing and
   encrypting the data.

   There are several types of attacks that CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe can
   prevent. The use of CGA-TSIG will reduce the number of messages
   needed between a client and a server in order to establish a secure
   channel. To exchange the shared secret between a DNS Resolver and a
   client, when TSIG is used, a minimum of four (4) messages are
   required. By modifying [RFC2845] to use CGA-TSIG, this will decrease
   the number of messages needed . The messages used in [RFC2930] (TKEY
   RR) are not needed when CGA-TSIG is used.


7.1.  IP Spoofing

   This prevents the attack by finding a binding between the IP address
   and the Public Key for both IPv4 and IPv6 , with different
   approaches.


7.2.  Resolver Configuration Attack



Rafiee, et al.     Expires December 2, 2014                    [Page 24]


INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014

   When using CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe, the DNS server (or client), would not
   need further configuration. This reduces the possibility of human
   errors being introduced into the DNS configurations. Since this type
   of attack is predicated on human error, the chances of it occurring
   are minimized.


7.3.  Exposing A Shared Secret

   Using CGA-TSIG/CGA-TSIGe will decrease the number of manual steps
   required in generating the new shared secret and in exchanging it
   among the hosts to update the old shared secret. This manual step is
   required after a shared secret is leaked.


7.4.  Replay Attack

   Using the Time Signed value in the Signature modifies the content of
   the Signature each time the Node generates and sends it to the DNS
   server. If the attacker attempts to spoof the timestamp, the DNS
   server will check this message by verifying the signature. In this
   case, the verification process will fail preventing the replay
   attack.


7.5.  Data Confidentiality

   Encrypting the whole DNS message will deny the attacker from knowing
   the content of DNS messages. This will avoid zone walking and many
   other attacks on DNS RRs.

8.  Security Considerations

   The approach explained in this draft, CGA-TSIG, is a solution for
   securing DNS messages from spoofing type attacks like those explained
   in section 3.

   A problem that may arise here concerns attacks against the CGA
   algorithm. In this section we will explain the possibility of such
   attacks against CGA [5] and explain the available solutions that we
   considered in this draft.

   a) Discover an Alternative Key Pair Hashing of the Victim's Node
   Address

   In this case an attacker would have to find an alternate key pair
   hashing of the victim's address. The probability for success of this
   type of attack will rely on the security properties of the underlying
   hash function, i.e., an attacker will need to break the second
   pre-image resistance of that hash function. The attacker will perform
   a second pre-image attack on a specific address in order to match
   other CGA parameters using Hash1 and Hash2. The cost of doing this is
   (2^59+1) * 2^(16*1). If the user uses a sufficient security level, it


Rafiee, et al.     Expires December 2, 2014                    [Page 25]


INTERNET DRAFT                         TSIG using CGA       June 2, 2014

   will be not feasible for an attacker to carry out this type of attack
   due to the cost involved. Changing the IP address frequently will
   also decrease the chance for this type of attack succeeding.

   b) DoS to Kill a CGA Node

   Sending a valid or invalid CGA signed message with high frequency
   across the network can keep the destination node(s) busy with the
   verification process. This type of DoS attack is not specific to CGA,
   but it can be applied to any request-response protocol. One possible
   solution ,to mitigate this attack, is to add a controller to the
   verifier side of the process to determine how many messages a node
   has received over a certain period of time from a specific node. If a
   determined threshold rate is exceeded, then the node will stop
   further receipt of incoming messages from that node.

   c) CGA Privacy Implication

   Due to the high computational complexity necessary for the creation
   of a CGA, it is likely that once a node generates an acceptable CGA
   it will continue its use at that subnet. The result is that nodes
   using CGAs are still susceptible to privacy related attacks. One
   solution to these types of attacks is setting a lifetime for the
   address as explained in RFC 4941.



9.  IANA Considerations

   The IANA has allowed for choosing new algorithm(s) for use in the
   TSIG Algorithm name. Algorithm name refers to the algorithm described
   in this document. The requirement to have this name registered with
   IANA is specified.

   In section 4.1, Type should allow for the use of future optional
   algorithms with regard to SeND. The default value for CGA might be 1.
   Other algorithms would be assigned a new number sequentially. For
   example, a new algorithm called SSAS [4,5] could be assigned a value
   of 2.

   IANA also needs to define a numeric algorithm number for ECC. The
   similar way that is defined for RSA.

   the algorithm used in signing the message. Zero is the default
   algorithm for RSA. Secval is the CGA Sec value that is, by default,
   one. GIP is the global IP address of this node (for example:
   2001:abc:def:1234:567:89a). oGIP is the old IP address of this node,
   before the generation of the new IP address. Keys contains the path
   where the CGA-TSIG algorithm can find the PEM format used for the
   public/private keys (for example: /home/myuser/keys.pem ).
