Terminology 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 [2].2. Introduction A set of procedures to allow DHCP [7] clients and servers to automatically update the DNS (RFC 1034 [3], RFC 1035 [4]) is proposed in "Resolution of DNS Name Conflicts" [1]. Conflicts can arise if multiple DHCP clients wish to use the same DNS name. To resolve such conflicts, "Resolution of DNS Name Conflicts" [1] proposes storing client identifiers in the DNS to unambiguously associate domain names with the DHCP clients using them. In the interest of clarity, it is preferable for this DHCP information to use a distinct RR type. This memo defines a distinct RR for this purpose for use by DHCP clients or servers, the "DHCID" RR. In order to avoid exposing potentially sensitive identifying information, the data stored is the result of a one-way MD5 [5] hash computation. The hash includes information from the DHCP client's REQUEST message as well as the domain name itself, so that the data stored in the DHCID RR will be dependent on both the client identification used in the DHCP protocol interaction and the domain name. This means that the DHCID RDATA will vary if a single client is associated over time with more than one name. This makes it difficult to 'track' a client as it is associated with various domain names. The MD5 hash algorithm has been shown to be weaker than the SHA-1 algorithm; it could therefore be argued that SHA-1 is a better choice. However, SHA-1 is significantly slower than MD5. A successful attack of MD5's weakness does not reveal the original data that was used to generate the signature, but rather provides a new set of input data that will produce the same signature. Because we are using the MD5 hash to conceal the original data, the fact that an attacker could produce a different plaintext resulting in the same MD5 output is not significant concern.3. The DHCID RR The DHCID RR is defined with mnemonic DHCID and type code [TBD]. The DHCID RR is only defined in the IN class. DHCID RRs cause no additional section processing. The DHCID RR is not a singleton type.Stapp, et al. Expires January 14, 2005 [Page 3]Internet-Draft The DHCID RR July 20043.1 DHCID RDATA format The RDATA section of a DHCID RR in transmission contains RDLENGTH bytes of binary data. The format of this data and its interpretation by DHCP servers and clients are described below. DNS software should consider the RDATA section to be opaque. DHCP clients or servers use the DHCID RR to associate a DHCP client's identity with a DNS name, so that multiple DHCP clients and servers may deterministically perform dynamic DNS updates to the same zone. From the updater's perspective, the DHCID resource record RDATA consists of a 16-bit identifier type, in network byte order, followed by one or more bytes representing the actual identifier: < 16 bits > DHCP identifier used < n bytes > MD5 digest3.2 DHCID Presentation Format In DNS master files, the RDATA is represented as a single block in base 64 encoding identical to that used for representing binary data in RFC 2535 [8]. The data may be divided up into any number of white space separated substrings, down to single base 64 digits, which are concatenated to form the complete RDATA. These substrings can span lines using the standard parentheses.3.3 The DHCID RR Type Codes The DHCID RR Type Code specifies what data from the DHCP client's request was used as input into the hash function. The type codes are defined in a registry maintained by IANA, as specified in Section 7. The initial list of assigned values for the type code is: 0x0000 = htype, chaddr from a DHCPv4 client's DHCPREQUEST [7]. 0x0001 = The data portion from a DHCPv4 client's Client Identifier option [9]. 0x0002 = The client's DUID (i.e., the data portion of a DHCPv6 client's Client Identifier option [10] or the DUID field from a DHCPv4 client's Client Identifier option [12]). 0x0003 - 0xfffe = Available to be assigned by IANA. 0xffff = RESERVED3.4 Computation of the RDATA The DHCID RDATA is formed by concatenating the two type bytes withStapp, et al. Expires January 14, 2005 [Page 4]Internet-Draft The DHCID RR July 2004 some variable-length identifying data. < type > < data > The RDATA for all type codes other than 0xffff, which is reserved for future expansion, is formed by concatenating the two type bytes and a 16-byte MD5 hash value. The input to the hash function is defined to be: data = MD5(< identifier > < FQDN >) The FQDN is represented in the buffer in unambiguous canonical form as described in RFC 2535 [8], section 8.1. The type code and the identifier are related as specified in Section 3.3: the type code describes the source of the identifier. When the updater is using the client's link-layer address as the identifier, the first two bytes of the DHCID RDATA MUST be zero. To generate the rest of the resource record, the updater computes a one-way hash using the MD5 algorithm across a buffer containing the client's network hardware type, link-layer address, and the FQDN data. Specifically, the first byte of the buffer contains the network hardware type as it appeared in the DHCP 'htype' field of the client's DHCPREQUEST message. All of the significant bytes of the chaddr field in the client's DHCPREQUEST message follow, in the same order in which the bytes appear in the DHCPREQUEST message. The number of significant bytes in the 'chaddr' field is specified in the 'hlen' field of the DHCPREQUEST message. The FQDN data, as specified above, follows. When the updater is using the DHCPv4 Client Identifier option sent by the client in its DHCPREQUEST message, the first two bytes of the DHCID RR MUST be 0x0001, in network byte order. The rest of the DHCID RR MUST contain the results of computing an MD5 hash across the payload of the option, followed by the FQDN. The payload of the option consists of the bytes of the option following the option code and length. When the updater is using the DHCPv6 DUID sent by the client in its REQUEST message, the first two bytes of the DHCID RR MUST be 0x0002, in network byte order. The rest of the DHCID RR MUST contain the results of computing an MD5 hash across the payload of the option, followed by the FQDN. The payload of the option consists of the bytes of the option following the option code and length.3.5 ExamplesStapp, et al. Expires January 14, 2005 [Page 5]Internet-Draft The DHCID RR July 2004
