+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The type number for the IPSECKEY RR is TBD.
+
+1.1 Overview
+
+ The IPSECKEY resource record (RR) is used to publish a public key
+ that is to be associated with a Domain Name System (DNS) name for use
+ with the IPsec protocol suite. This can be the public key of a
+ host, network, or application (in the case of per-port keying).
+
+ 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 RFC2119 [8].
+
+1.2 Usage Criteria
+
+ An IPSECKEY resource record SHOULD be used in combination with DNSSEC
+ unless some other means of authenticating the IPSECKEY resource
+ record is available.
+
+ It is expected that there will often be multiple IPSECKEY resource
+ records at the same name. This will be due to the presence of
+ multiple gateways and the need to rollover keys.
+
+ This resource record is class independent.

+
+
+2. Storage formats
+
+2.1 IPSECKEY RDATA format
+
+ The RDATA for an IPSECKEY RR consists of a precedence value, a public
+ key, algorithm type, and an optional gateway address.
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | precedence | gateway type | algorithm | gateway |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-------------+ +
+ ~ gateway ~
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | /
+ / public key /
+ / /
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-|
+
+
+2.2 RDATA format - precedence
+
+ This is an 8-bit precedence for this record. This is interpreted in
+ the same way as the PREFERENCE field described in section 3.3.9 of
+ RFC1035 [2].
+
+ Gateways listed in IPSECKEY records with lower precedence are to be
+ attempted first. Where there is a tie in precedence, the order
+ should be non-deterministic.
+
+2.3 RDATA format - algorithm type
+
+ The algorithm type field identifies the public key's cryptographic
+ algorithm and determines the format of the public key field.
+
+ A value of 0 indicates that no key is present.
+
+ The following values are defined:
+
+ 1 A DSA key is present, in the format defined in RFC2536 [11]
+
+ 2 A RSA key is present, in the format defined in RFC3110 [12]
+
+
+2.4 RDATA format - gateway type
+
+ The gateway type field indicates the format of the information that
+ is stored in the gateway field.
+
+
+
+Richardson Expires March 4, 2004 [Page 4]
+
+Internet-Draft ipsecrr September 2003
+
+
+ The following values are defined:
+
+ 0 No gateway is present
+
+ 1 A 4-byte IPv4 address is present
+
+ 2 A 16-byte IPv6 address is present
+
+ 3 A wire-encoded domain name is present. The wire-encoded format is
+ self-describing, so the length is implicit. The domain name MUST
+ NOT be compressed.
+
+
+2.5 RDATA format - gateway
+
+ The gateway field indicates a gateway to which an IPsec tunnel may be
+ created in order to reach the entity named by this resource record.
+
+ There are three formats:
+
+ A 32-bit IPv4 address is present in the gateway field. The data
+ portion is an IPv4 address as described in section 3.4.1 of RFC1035
+ [2]. This is a 32-bit number in network byte order.
+
+ A 128-bit IPv6 address is present in the gateway field. The data
+ portion is an IPv6 address as described in section 2.2 of RFC1886
+ [7]. This is a 128-bit number in network byte order.
+
+ The gateway field is a normal wire-encoded domain name, as described
+ in section 3.3 of RFC1035 [2]. Compression MUST NOT be used.
+
+2.6 RDATA format - public keys
+
+ Both of the public key types defined in this document (RSA and DSA)
+ inherit their public key formats from the corresponding KEY RR
+ formats. Specifically, the public key field contains the algorithm-
+ specific portion of the KEY RR RDATA, which is all of the KEY RR DATA
+ after the first four octets. This is the same portion of the KEY RR
+ that must be specified by documents that define a DNSSEC algorithm.
+ Those documents also specify a message digest to be used for
+ generation of SIG RRs; that specification is not relevant for
+ IPSECKEY RR.
+
+ Future algorithms, if they are to be used by both DNSSEC (in the KEY
+ RR) and IPSECKEY, are likely to use the same public key encodings in
+ both records. Unless otherwise specified, the IPSECKEY public key
+ field will contain the algorithm-specific portion of the KEY RR RDATA
+ for the corresponding algorithm. The algorithm must still be
+
+
+
+Richardson Expires March 4, 2004 [Page 5]
+
+Internet-Draft ipsecrr September 2003
+
+
+ designated for use by IPSECKEY, and an IPSECKEY algorithm type number
+ (which might be different than the DNSSEC algorithm number) must be
+ assigned to it.
+
+ The DSA key format is defined in RFC2536 [11]
+
+ The RSA key format is defined in RFC3110 [12], with the following
+ changes:
+
+ The earlier definition of RSA/MD5 in RFC2065 limited the exponent and
+ modulus to 2552 bits in length. RFC3110 extended that limit to 4096
+ bits for RSA/SHA1 keys. The IPSECKEY RR imposes no length limit on
+ RSA public keys, other than the 65535 octet limit imposed by the two-
+ octet length encoding. This length extension is applicable only to
+ IPSECKEY and not to KEY RRs.

+3. Presentation formats
+
+3.1 Representation of IPSECKEY RRs
+
+ IPSECKEY RRs may appear in a zone data master file. The precedence,
+ gateway type and algorithm and gateway fields are REQUIRED. The
+ base64 encoded public key block is OPTIONAL; if not present, then the
+ public key field of the resource record MUST be construed as being
+ zero octets in length.
+
+ The algorithm field is an unsigned integer. No mnemonics are
+ defined.
+
+ If no gateway is to be indicated, then the gateway type field MUST be
+ zero, and the gateway field MUST be "."
+
+ The Public Key field is represented as a Base64 encoding of the
+ Public Key. Whitespace is allowed within the Base64 text. For a
+ definition of Base64 encoding, see RFC1521 [3] Section 5.2.
+
+ The general presentation for the record as as follows:
+
+ IN IPSECKEY ( precedence gateway-type algorithm
+ gateway base64-encoded-public-key )

+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+ This entire memo pertains to the provision of public keying material
+ for use by key management protocols such as ISAKMP/IKE (RFC2407) [9].
+
+ The IPSECKEY resource record contains information that SHOULD be
+ communicated to the end client in an integral fashion - i.e. free
+ from modification. The form of this channel is up to the consumer of
+ the data - there must be a trust relationship between the end
+ consumer of this resource record and the server. This relationship
+ may be end-to-end DNSSEC validation, a TSIG or SIG(0) channel to
+ another secure source, a secure local channel on the host, or some
+ combination of the above.
+
+ The keying material provided by the IPSECKEY resource record is not
+ sensitive to passive attacks. The keying material may be freely
+ disclosed to any party without any impact on the security properties
+ of the resulting IPsec session: IPsec and IKE provide for defense
+ against both active and passive attacks.
+
+ Any user of this resource record MUST carefully document their trust
+ model, and why the trust model of DNSSEC is appropriate, if that is
+ the secure channel used.
+
+4.1 Active attacks against unsecured IPSECKEY resource records
+
+ This section deals with active attacks against the DNS. These
+ attacks require that DNS requests and responses be intercepted and
+ changed. DNSSEC is designed to defend against attacks of this kind.
+
+ The first kind of active attack is when the attacker replaces the
+ keying material with either a key under its control or with garbage.
+
+ If the attacker is not able to mount a subsequent man-in-the-middle
+ attack on the IKE negotiation after replacing the public key, then
+ this will result in a denial of service, as the authenticator used by
+ IKE would fail.
+
+ If the attacker is able to both to mount active attacks against DNS
+ and is also in a position to perform a man-in-the-middle attack on
+ IKE and IPsec negotiations, then the attacker will be in a position
+ to compromise the resulting IPsec channel. Note that an attacker
+ must be able to perform active DNS attacks on both sides of the IKE
+ negotiation in order for this to succeed.
+
+ The second kind of active attack is one in which the attacker
+ replaces the the gateway address to point to a node under the
+ attacker's control. The attacker can then either replace the public
+
+
+
+Richardson Expires March 4, 2004 [Page 9]
+
+Internet-Draft ipsecrr September 2003
+
+
+ key or remove it, thus providing an IPSECKEY record of its own to
+ match the gateway address.
+
+ This later form creates a simple man-in-the-middle since the attacker
+ can then create a second tunnel to the real destination. Note that,
+ as before, this requires that the attacker also mount an active
+ attack against the responder.
+
+ Note that the man-in-the-middle can not just forward cleartext
+ packets to the original destination. While the destination may be
+ willing to speak in the clear, replying to the original sender, the
+ sender will have already created a policy expecting ciphertext.
+ Thus, the attacker will need to intercept traffic from both sides.
+ In some cases, the attacker may be able to accomplish the full
+ intercept by use of Network Addresss/Port Translation (NAT/NAPT)
+ technology.
+
+ Note that the danger here only applies to cases where the gateway
+ field of the IPSECKEY RR indicates a different entity than the owner
+ name of the IPSECKEY RR. In cases where the end-to-end integrity of
+ the IPSECKEY RR is suspect, the end client MUST restrict its use of
+ the IPSECKEY RR to cases where the RR owner name matches the content
+ of the gateway field.
