Abstract

   This document describes a new resource record for the Domain Name
   System (DNS).  This record may be used to store public keys for use
   in IP security (IPsec) systems.  The record also includes provisions
   for indicating what system should be contacted when an IPsec tunnel
   is established with the entity in question.

   This record replaces the functionality of the sub-type #4 of the KEY
   Resource Record, which has been obsoleted by RFC 3445.

1.  Introduction

   Suppose a host wishes (or is required by policy) to establish an
   IPsec tunnel with some remote entity on the network prior to allowing
   normal communication to take place.  In many cases, this end system
   will be able to determine the DNS name for the remote entity (either
   by having the DNS name given explicitly, by performing a DNS PTR
   query for a particular IP address, or through some other means, e.g.,
   by extracting the DNS portion of a "user@FQDN" name for a remote
   entity).  In these cases, the host will need to obtain a public key
   to authenticate the remote entity, and may also need some guidance
   about whether it should contact the entity directly or use another
   node as a gateway to the target entity.  The IPSECKEY RR provides a
   mechanism for storing such information.

   The type number for the IPSECKEY RR is 45.

   This record replaces the functionality of the sub-type #4 of the KEY
   Resource Record, which has been obsoleted by RFC 3445 [11].

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) [1] 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 RFC 2119 [3].

1.2.  Use of DNS Address-to-Name Maps (IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA)

   Often a security gateway will only have access to the IP address of
   the node with which communication is desired and will not know any
   other name for the target node.  Because of this, frequently the best
   way of looking up IPSECKEY RRs will be by using the IP address as an
   index into one of the reverse mapping trees (IN-ADDR.ARPA for IPv4 or
   IP6.ARPA for IPv6).

   The lookup is done in the fashion usual for PTR records.  The IP
   address' octets (IPv4) or nibbles (IPv6) are reversed and looked up
   with the appropriate suffix.  Any CNAMEs or DNAMEs found MUST be
   followed.

   Note: even when the IPsec function is contained in the end-host,
   often only the application will know the forward name used.  Although
   the case where the application knows the forward name is common, the
   user could easily have typed in a literal IP address.  This storage
   mechanism does not preclude using the forward name when it is
   available but does not require it.

1.3.  Usage Criteria

   An IPSECKEY resource record SHOULD be used in combination with DNSSEC
   [8] 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 a need to roll over 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
   gateway type, a public key, algorithm type, and an optional gateway
   address.

2.2.  RDATA Format - Precedence

   This is an 8-bit precedence for this record.  It is interpreted in
   the same way as the PREFERENCE field described in section 3.3.9 of
   RFC 1035 [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 - Gateway Type

   The gateway type field indicates the format of the information that
   is stored in the gateway field.

   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.  (See Section 3.3 of RFC 1035 [2].)

2.4.  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 RFC 2536 [9].
   2  A RSA key is present, in the format defined in RFC 3110 [10].

RFC 4025          Storing IPsec Keying Material in DNS     February 2005


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 RFC 1035
   [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 RFC 3596
   [12].  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 RFC 1035 [2].  Compression MUST NOT be used.

2.6.  RDATA Format - Public Keys

   Both 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 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 RRs.

   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
   designated for use by IPSECKEY, and an IPSECKEY algorithm type number
   (which might be different from the DNSSEC algorithm number) must be
   assigned to it.

   The DSA key format is defined in RFC 2536 [9]

   The RSA key format is defined in RFC 3110 [10], with the following
   changes:

   The earlier definition of RSA/MD5 in RFC 2065 [4] limited the
   exponent and modulus to 2552 bits in length.  RFC 3110 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



Richardson                  Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 4025          Storing IPsec Keying Material in DNS     February 2005


   imposed by the two-octet length encoding.  This length extension is
   applicable only to IPSECKEY; it is not applicable 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, algorithm, and gateway fields are REQUIRED.  The base64
   encoded public key block is OPTIONAL; if it is not present, the
   public key field of the resource record MUST be construed to be 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 RFC 3548 [6], Section 5.2.

   The general presentation for the record is as follows:

   IN     IPSECKEY ( precedence gateway-type algorithm
                     gateway base64-encoded-public-key )

3.2.  Examples

   An example of a node, 192.0.2.38, that will accept IPsec tunnels on
   its own behalf.

   38.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN     IPSECKEY ( 10 1 2
                    192.0.2.38
                    AQNRU3mG7TVTO2BkR47usntb102uFJtugbo6BSGvgqt4AQ== )

   An example of a node, 192.0.2.38, that has published its key only.

   38.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa. 7200 IN     IPSECKEY ( 10 0 2
                    .
                    AQNRU3mG7TVTO2BkR47usntb102uFJtugbo6BSGvgqt4AQ== )
