INTERNET-DRAFT              The DNS TKEY RR                     May 1999


1. Introduction

   The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, distributed, highly
   available database used for mapping between domain names and
   addresses, for email routing, and for other information [RFC 1034,
   1035].  It has been extended to provide for public key security and
   dynamic update [RFC 2136, RFC 2535].

   [draft-ietf-dnsind-tsig-*.txt] provides a means of more efficiently
   authenticating and securing DNS messages using shared secret keys via
   the TSIG resource record (RR) but provides no mechanism for setting
   up such keys other than manual exchange. This document describes a
   TKEY RR that can be used in a number of different modes to establish
   such shared secret keys between a DNS resolver and server.

   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 [RFC 2119].



1.1 General Principles

   TKEY is a meta-RR that is not stored or cached in the DNS and does
   not appear in zone files.  It supports a variety of modes for the
   establishment and deletion of shared secret keys between DNS entities
   such as resolvers and servers.  The establishment of such a key
   requires that state be maintained at both the resolver and the server
   and the allocation of the resources to maintain such state may
   require mutual agreement. In the absence of such agreement, servers
   are free to return errors for any attempt to use TKEY and resolvers
   are free to ignore any TKEY RRs they receive.

   In all cases herein, the term "resolver" includes that part of a
   server which makes full and incremental [RFC 1995] zone transfer
   queries as well as other queries.

   Servers are not required to implement any particular mode or modes of
   the defined modes of TKEY shared secret key establishment or deletion
   and may return errors for any they do not support.  Based on
   experience, in the future more modes may be added or some modes
   described herein may be deprecated.

   The means by which the shared secret keying material, exchanged via
   TKEY, is actually used in any particular TSIG algorithm is algorithm
   dependent and is defined in connection with that algorithm.

   Note that this keying material and TSIGs that use it are associated
   with DNS hosts.  They are not tied to zones.  They may be used to
   authenticate queries and responses but they do not provide zone

   stored DNS data origin authentication [RFC 2535].

   Two modes of TKEY, the server assigned and resolver assigned modes,
   perform encryption which may effect their export or
   import status for some countries.  All other aspects of DNS security,
   including the SIG, KEY, NXT, and TSIG RRs and all other defined modes
   of TKEY perform authentication (signatures and signature
   verification) only.



1.2 Overview of Contents

   Section 2 below specifies the TKEY resource record (RR) and provides
   a high level description of its constituent fields.

   Section 3 discusses key exchange via queries for type TKEY.  This is
   applicable to the server assigned, Diffie-Hellman exchange, and GSS-
   API establishment modes.

   Section 4 discusses spontaneous inclusion of TKEY RRs in responses by
   servers.  This is applicable to key deletion and to server assigned
   and Diffie-Hellman exchange key establishment.

   Section 5 discusses use of dynamic update requests for type TKEY.
   This supports optional key exchange via resolver update request,
   which is applicable to key deletion and to the resolver assigned
   mode.

   Section 6 describes encryption methods for transmitting secret key
   information.

   Section 7 covers IANA considerations in assignment of TKEY modes.

   Finally, Section 8 touches on some security considerations.



2. The TKEY Resource Record

   The TKEY resource record (RR) has the structure given below.  Its RR
   type code is 249.

        Field       Type         Comment
        -----       ----         -------

        NAME         domain      see description below
        TTYPE        u_int16_t   TKEY
        CLASS        u_int16_t   ignored, should be zero
        TTL          u_int32_t   SHOULD be zero
        RDLEN        u_int16_t   size of RDATA
        RDATA: Algorithm:  domain
         Inception:   u_int32_t
         Expiration:  u_int32_t
         Mode:        u_int16_t
         Error:       u_int16_t
         Key Size:    u_int16_t
         Key Data:    octet-stream
         Other Size:  u_int16_t
         Other Data:  octet-stream  undefined by this protocol

   The Name field's meaning differs somewhat with mode and context as
   explained in subsequent sections.

   The TTL field SHOULD always be zero to be sure that older DNS
   implementations do not cache TKEY RRs.

   The algorithm name is a domain name with the same meaning as in
   [draft-ietf-dnsind-tsig-*.txt].  The algorithm determines how the
   secret keying material exchanged using the TKEY RR is actually used
   to derive the algorithm specific key that is used.

   The inception time and expiration time are in number of seconds since
   the beginning of 1 January 1970 GMT ignoring leap seconds treated as
   modulo 2**32 using ring arithmetic [RFC 1982]. In messages between a
   DNS resolver to a DNS server where these fields are meaningful, they
   are either the requested validity interval for the keying material
   asked for or specify the validity interval of keying material
   provided.  To avoid replay attacks, to keying material used to
   authenticate TKEY keying material MUST NOT have a lifetime of more
   then 2**31 seconds.  This applies to keying material used in either a
   TSIG or a SIG(0) transaction or request signature.

   The mode field specifies the general scheme for key agreement.  Note
   that implementation of TKEY as a whole and of any particular mode is
   optional. The following values of the Mode octet are defined or
   reserved:

          Value    Description
          -----    -----------
           0        - reserved
           1       server/responder assignment
           2       Diffie-Hellman exchange
           3       GSS-API negotiation

          6-65534   - available, see IANA considerations section
          65535     -reserved

   The error code field is an extended RCODE.  The following values are
   defined:
          Value   Description
          -----   -----------
           0       - no error
           1-15   a DNS RCODE
           16     BADSIG
           17     BADKEY
           18     BADTIME
           19     BADMODE

   The key data size field is an unsigned 16 bit integer in network
   order which specifies the size of the key exchange data field in
   octets. The meaning of the key data depends on the mode.

   The Other Size and Other Data fields are not used.  The RDLEN field
   MUST equal the length of the RDATA section through the end of other
   data or the RR is to be considered malformed and rejected.



3. Exchange via Resolver Query

   One method for a resolver and a server to establish a shared secret
   key for use in TSIG is through queries from the resolver for type
   TKEY.  Such queries MUST either be accompanied by one or more TKEY
   RRs in the additional information section to indicate the mode(s) in
   use and other information where required or the resolver and server
   must have a prior agreement that supplies any information that would
   otherwise have had to be conveyed by TKEY RR(s) in the query.

   For TKEY(s) appearing in a query, the TKEY RR name SHOULD be a domain
   locally unique at the resolver (or globally unique), less than 128
   octets long, and meaningful to the resolver to distinguish keys
   and/or key agreement sessions.  (For resolvers not wishing to make
   this use of the name, it may be specified as root to minimize
   length.) For TKEY(s) appearing in a response to a query, the TKEY RR
   name SHOULD be a globally unique server assigned domain.  If the TKEY
   in a response is the result of a query containing a TKEY with a non-


Donald E. Eastlake, 3rd                                         [Page 7]


INTERNET-DRAFT              The DNS TKEY RR                     May 1999


   root name, that query TKEY name SHOULD be incorporated as the prefix
   of the response TKEY name.

   Type TKEY queries SHOULD NOT be flagged as recursive and servers MAY
   ignore the recursive header bit in TKEY queries they receive.

   For every mode defined below, the inception and expiration times in a
   query TKEY are set to the time interval for which the resolver wishes
   the requested key to be valid and they are set in a successful
   response to the actual time interval during which the server will
   consider the key valid.  Future modes may be defined which ignore the
   inception and expiration time fields.



3.1 Query for Server Assigned Keying

   In server assigned keying, the DNS server host generates the keying
   material and it is sent to the resolver encrypted under a resolver
   host key.  See section 6 for description of encryption methods.

   A resolver sends a query for type TKEY accompanied by a TKEY RR
   specifying the "server assignment" mode and a resolver host KEY RR to
   be used in encrypting the response, both in the additional
   information section. The TKEY algorithm field is set to the signature
   algorithm the resolver plans to use.  It is recommended that any "key
   data" optionally provided in the query TKEY by the resolver be
   strongly mixed with server generated randomness [RFC 1750] to derive
   the keying material to be used.  The KEY that appears in the query
   SHOULD have a zero TTL.  It need not be accompanied by a SIG(KEY) and
   if the query is signed by the resolver host and that signature is
   verified, then any SIG(KEY) provided MAY be ignored for key exchange
   purposes.  The KEY RR in such a query SHOULD have a name that
   corresponds to the resolver host but it is only essential that it be
   a public key for which the resolver has the corresponding private key
   so it can decrypt the response data.

   Accepting and responding to an unsigned query of this sort may drain
   some entropy from an entropy pool being maintained by the server and
   used for secret key generation and so might enable an entropy
   exhaustion attack.  In addition, some significant amount of
   computational resources may be used in the public key encryption of
   response data.  To protect against these effects, a server SHOULD
   require such a query to be signed and MAY rate limit responses.

   The server response contains a TKEY in its answer section with the
   server assigned mode. If the error field is non-zero, the query
   failed for the reason given. If the error field is zero, the KEY RR
   provided in the query will be echoed back and the key data portion of
   the response TKEY RR will be the server assigned keying data


Donald E. Eastlake, 3rd                                         [Page 8]


INTERNET-DRAFT              The DNS TKEY RR                     May 1999


   encrypted under the public key in the resolver provided KEY RR.  The
   name of the TKEY RR will be the server assigned name of the key and
   SHOULD be globally unique.



3.2 Query for Diffie-Hellman Exchanged Keying

   Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange is means whereby two parties can
   derive some shared secret information without requiring any secrecy
   of the messages they exchange [Schneier].  Provisions have been made
   for the storage of DH public keys in the DNS [RFC 2539].

   A client sends a query for type TKEY accompanied by a TKEY RR in the
   additional information section specifying the "Diffie-Hellman" mode
   and accompanied by a KEY RR specifying a client host Diffie-Hellman
   key.  The TKEY algorithm field is set to the signature algorithm the
   resolver plans to use and any "key data" provided in the TKEY is
   ignored by the server.

   Accepting and responding to an unsigned query of this sort may use
   significant computation at the server; however, if the server
   requires that the request be signed, then if no shared secret is in
   place to permit a TSIG to be used on the request, it would be
   necessary to use a SIG(0) the verification of which would impose its
   own computational load.

   The server response contains a TKEY in its answer section with the
   Diffie-Hellman mode. If the error field is non-zero, the query failed
   for the reason given. If the error field is zero, the client host
   supplied Diffie-Hellman KEY should be echoed back and a server host
   Diffie-Hellman KEY RR will also be present in the response.

   Both parties can then calculate the same shared secret quantity from
   the pair of Diffie-Hellman keys used [Schneier] provided they use the
   same modulus.  If the server host does not have an appropriate
   Diffie-Hellman key to use for the exchange, it should return the
   BADKEY error.



3.3 Query for GSS-API Established

   This is described in a separate document [draft-skwan-gss-tsig-*.txt]
   which should be seen for the full description.  Basically, when an
   acceptable symmetric key is not yet in place, the resolver can send a
   query for type TKEY with a TKEY specifying the GSS-API mode in the
   additional information section and a GSS-API token in the key data
   portion. The server responds with a TKEY specifying the GSS-API mode
   and a GSS-API token in the key data portion. The resolver and server


Donald E. Eastlake, 3rd                                         [Page 9]


INTERNET-DRAFT              The DNS TKEY RR                     May 1999


   feed these tokens to their local GSS implementation and iterate until
   an error is encountered or a key (GSS-API session) is established. A
   similar exchange can be used to delete a GSS-API session.

   Any issues of possible encryption of the GSS-API token data being
   transmitted are handled by the GSS-API level.  In addition, the GSS-
   API level provides its own authentication so that this mode of TKEY
   query and response MAY be,  but do not need to be, signed with TSIG
   or SIG(0).



4. Spontaneous Server Inclusion

   A DNS server may include TKEY RRs spontaneously as additional
   information in responses.  This SHOULD only be done if the server
   knows the querier understands TKEY and has this option implemented.
   This technique can be used to establish a server assigned key, a
   Diffie-Hellman exchange key, for GSS-API exchange, and to delete a
   key.  A disadvantage of this technique is that there is no way for
   the server to get any immediate error or success indication back and,
   in the case of UDP, no way to even know if the DNS response reached
   the resolver.



4.1 Spontaneous Server Assigned Keying

   A server can include in the additional information section of a
   response a server assignment mode TKEY with encrypted keying material
   in its key data section along with a KEY RR specifying the client
   public key used for the encryption.  Such a response SHOULD be signed
   but the KEY RR need not be signed by a SIG(KEY).  A server should
   only do this if there is sufficient room in a query and it has reason
   to believe the resolver will understand such additional data.  The
   KEY RR used MUST be one for which it is believed that the resolver
   host has the corresponding private key or it will not be able to
   decrypt the keying material.



4.2 Spontaneous Diffie-Hellman Keying

   A server can include in the additional information section of a
   response a Diffie-Hellman exchange mode TKEY along with two KEY RRs
   specifying the client and server host public keys used for the
   exchange.  Such a response SHOULD be signed but the KEY RRs need not
   be signed by a SIG(KEY).  A server should only do this if there is
   sufficient room in a query and it has reason to believe the resolver
   host will understand such additional data.

INTERNET-DRAFT              The DNS TKEY RR                     May 1999


4.3 Spontaneous GSS-API Exchange

   A server can spontaneously include in the additional information
   section of a response, a GSS-API mode TKEY.  The information in the
   key data section of such a TKEY is a GSS-API token which SHOULD be
   fed by the resolver to its local GSS-API implementation.  If such a
   response is signed, the signature must verify before processing the
   data.  To the extent that GSS-API provides its own security, such a
   response may not need to be signed.  To the extent that GSS-API
   handles duplicated messages, such a spontaneous TKEY can be sent
   repeatedly, until, perhaps, a response via a GSS-API mode TKEY query
   is received.



4.4 Spontaneous Key Deletion

   A server can hint to a client that it has deleted a symmetric key by
   spontaneously including a TKEY RR in the additional information
   section of a response with the key's name and specifying the key
   deletion mode.  Such a response SHOULD be signed.  If authenticated,
   it deletes all keys with the given name whose effective time period
   overlaps the inception to expiration period given in the deletion
   mode TKEY.  (If the inception time of one symmetric key is equal to
   the expiration time of another, or vice versa, they do not overlap.)
   Failure by a client to receive or properly process such additional
   information in a response would simply mean that the client might use
   a key that the server had discarded and then get an error indication.



5. TKEY Dynamic Update Requests

   If a DNS server supports dynamic update [RFC 2136], then dynamic
   update request can be used to exchange resolver assigned symmetric
   keys as described in section 5.1 below and to delete previously
   exchanged keys from a server as described in section 5.2 below.



5.1 Exchange via TKEY 'Add'

   Optionally, a server can accept resolver assigned keys.  The keying
   material must be encrypted under a server host key for protection in
   transmission as described in Section 6.

   The resolver sends an update request to add a TKEY RR that specifies
   the keying data with a KEY RR in the additional information section
   specifying the server host public key used to encrypt the data.  The
   name of the key and the keying data are completely controlled by the


Donald E. Eastlake, 3rd                                        [Page 11]


INTERNET-DRAFT              The DNS TKEY RR                     May 1999


   sending resolver so a globally unique key name SHOULD be used.  The
   server SHOULD require that this request be signed with a TSIG, if
   there already exists an appropriate shared secret, or a SIG(0) by the
   resolver host.  The KEY RR used MUST be one for which the server has
   the corresponding private key or it will not be able to decrypt the
   keying material.



5.2 TKEY Deletion

   Keys established via TKEY can be treated as soft state.  Since DNS
   transactions are originated by the resolver, the resolver can simply
   toss keys, although it may have to go through another key exchange if
   it later needs one.  Similarly, the server can discard keys although
   that will result in an error on receiving a query with a TSIG using
   the discarded key.

   The key expiration provided in the TKEY and the ability of each party
   to discard keys may be adequate but servers that support dynamic
   update [RFC 2136] may optionally implement key deletion whereby the
   server discards a key on receipt from a resolver of a delete request
   for a TKEY with the key's name.  The mode and most fields of the TKEY
   being "deleted" are ignored.  But, to allow for the possibility of
   multiple keys with the same name but different time periods, the only
   keys deleted are those whose time period overlaps with that specified
   by the inception and expiration in the TKEY being "deleted".



6. Methods of Encryption

   For the server assigned and resolver assigned key exchange, the
   keying material is sent within the key data field of a TKEY RR
   encrypted under the private key corresponding to the public key in an
   accompanying KEY RR [RFC 2535].  The secret keying material being
   send will generally be fairly short, usually less than 256 bits,
   because that is adequate for very strong protection with modern keyed
   hash or symmetric algorithms.

   If the KEY RR specifies the RSA algorithm, then the keying material
   is encrypted as per the description of RSA encryption in PKCS#1 [RFC
   2437]. (Note, the secret keying material being sent is directly RSA
   encrypted in PKCS#1 format, It is not "enveloped" under some other
   symmetric algorithm.)  In the unlikely event that the keying material
   will not fit within one RSA modulus of the chosen public key,
   additional RSA encryption blocks are included.  The length of each
   block is clear from the public RSA key specified and the PKCS#1
   padding makes it clear what part of the encrypted data is actually
   keying material and what part is formatting or the required at least

   eight bytes of random [RFC 1750] padding.



7. IANA Considerations

   This section is to be interpreted as provided in [RFC 2434].

   Mode field values 0x0000 through 0x00FF, and 0XFF00 through 0XFFFF
   can only be assigned by an IETF standards action excluding
   Experimental Standards (and 1 through 5 are assigned by this Proposed
   Standard).  Special consideration should be given before the
   allocation of meaning for Mode field values 0x0000 and 0xFFFF.

   Mode field values 0x0100 through 0x0FFF and 0xF0000 through 0xFEFF
   are allocated by an IETF consensus excluding Experimental Standards.

   Mode field values 0x1000 through 0xEFFF are allocated based on RFC
   documentation of their use or the issuance of an Experimental
   Standard.

   Mode values should not be changed when the status of their use
   changes.  I.E. a mode value assigned for an Experimental Standard
   should not be changed later just because that standard's status is
   changed to Proposed.



8. Security Considerations

   To avoid different interpretations of the inception and expiration
   times in TKEY RRs, resolvers and servers exchanging them must have
   the same idea of what time it is.  One way of doing this is with the
   NTP protocol [RFC 2030] but that or any other time synchronization
   MUST be done securely.

   It is recommended that the server require TKEY queries be signed.
   However, for currently defined modes, relatively little damage will
   be done if an unsigned query of this sort is accepted and processed,
   as described above, for each mode. In addition, requiring that a TKEY
   query be signed by a TSIG (if there exists an acceptable exchanged
   key between the parties) or a SIG(0) may itself impose significant
   computational requirements on the server, particularly in verifying
   SIG(0) public key signatures.

   Responses to TKEY queries SHOULD always have DNS transaction
   signatures to protect the integrity of any keying data, error codes,
   etc.  This signature, if present, MUST use a previously established
   secret (TSIG) or public (SIG(0)) key and MUST NOT use any key that
   the response to be verified is itself providing.
