Background The Domain Name System(DNS, [RFC1034],(DNS) ([RFC1034] [RFC1035]) is a replicated hierarchical distributed database system that provides information fundamental to Internet operations, such asname to addressname-to-address translation andmail handlingmail-handling information. This document specifies use of a message authentication code (MAC), generated using certain keyed hash functions, to provide an efficient means of point-to-point authentication and integrity checking for DNS transactions. Such transactions include DNS update requests and responses for which this can provide a lightweight alternative to the secure DNS dynamic update protocol described by [RFC3007]. A further use of this mechanism is to protect zone transfers. In thiscasecase, the data covered would be the whole zone transfer including any glue records sent. The protocol described by DNSSEC ([RFC4033], [RFC4034], [RFC4035]) does not protect glue records and unsigned records. The authentication mechanism proposed here provides a simple and efficient authentication between clients and servers, by using shared secret keys to establish a trust relationship between two entities. Such keys must be protected in a manner similar to private keys, lest a third party masquerade as one of the intended parties (by forging the MAC). The proposal is unsuitable for generalserver to serverserver-to-server authentication and for serverswhichthat speak with many other servers, since key management would become unwieldy with the number of shared keys going up quadratically. But it is suitable for many resolvers on hosts that only talk to a few recursive servers. 1.2. Protocol Overview Secret Key Transaction Authentication makes use of signatures on messages sent between the parties involved(e.g.(e.g., resolver and server). These are known as "transaction signatures", or TSIG. For historical reasons, in thisdocumentdocument, they are referred to as message authentication codes(MAC).(MACs). Use of TSIG presumes prior agreement between the two parties involved (e.g., resolver and server) as to any algorithm and key to be used. The way that this agreement is reached is outside the scope of the document. A DNS message exchange involves the sending of a query and the receipt of one of more DNS messages in response. For the query, the MAC is calculated based on the hash of the contents and the agreed TSIG key. The MAC for the response issimilar,similar but also includes the MAC of the query as part of the calculation. Where a response comprises multiple packets, the calculation of the MAC associated with the second and subsequent packets includes in its inputs the MAC for the preceding packet. In thiswayway, it is possible to detect any interruption in the packet sequence, although not its premature termination. The MAC is contained in a TSIG resource record included in theAdditional Sectionadditional section of the DNS message. 1.3. Document History TSIG was originally specified by [RFC2845]. In 2017, twonameservername server implementations strictly following that document (and the related [RFC4635]) were discovered to have security problems related to this feature ([CVE-2017-3142], [CVE-2017-3143], [CVE-2017-11104]). The implementations werefixed but,fixed, but to avoid similar problems in the future, the two documents were updated and merged, producing this revised specification for TSIG. While TSIG implemented according to this RFC provides for enhanced security, there are no changes in interoperability. TSIGison the wire is still the same mechanism described in [RFC2845]; only the checking semantics have been changed. See Section 10.1 for further details. 2. Key Words The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. 3. Assigned Numbers This document defines the followingRRResource Record (RR) type and associated value: TSIG (250) In addition, the document also defines the following DNS RCODEs and associated names: 16 (BADSIG) 17 (BADKEY) 18 (BADTIME) 22 (BADTRUNC) (See[RFC6895]Section 2.3 of [RFC6895] concerning the assignment of the value 16 to BADSIG.) These RCODES may appear within the "Error" field of a TSIG RR. 4. TSIG RR Format 4.1. TSIG RR Type To provide secret key authentication, we use an RR type whose mnemonic is TSIG and whose type code is 250. TSIG is a meta-RR and MUST NOT be cached. TSIG RRs are used for authentication between DNS entities that have established a shared secret key. TSIG RRs are dynamically computed to cover a particular DNS transaction and are not DNS RRs in the usual sense. As the TSIG RRs are related to one DNS request/response, there is no value in storing or retransmittingthem, thusthem; thus, the TSIG RR is discarded once it has been used to authenticate a DNS message. 4.2. TSIG Record Format The fields of the TSIG RR are described below.As is usual, allAll multi-octet integers in the record are sent in network byte order (see[RFC1035] 2.3.2). NAMESection 2.3.2 of [RFC1035]). NAME: The name of the key used, in domain name syntax. The name should reflect the names of the hosts and uniquely identify the key among a set of keys these two hosts may share at any given time. For example, if hosts A.site.example and B.example.net share a key, possibilities for the key name include <id>.A.site.example, <id>.B.example.net, and <id>.A.site.example.B.example.net. It should be possible for more than one key to be in simultaneous use among a set of interacting hosts. This allows for periodic key rotation as per best operational practices, as well as algorithm agility as indicated by[BCP201].[RFC7696]. The name may be used as a local index to the keyinvolvedinvolved, but it is recommended that it be globally unique. Where a key is just shared between two hosts, its name actually need only be meaningful tothemthem, but it is recommended that the key name be mnemonic andincorporatesincorporate the names of participating agents or resources as suggested above.TYPETYPE: This MUST be TSIG (250: TransactionSIGnature) CLASSSIGnature). CLASS: This MUST beANY TTLANY. TTL: This MUST be0 RdLen0. RDLENGTH: (variable)RDATARDATA: The RDATA for a TSIG RR consists of a number of fields, described below: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ / Algorithm Name / +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | | Time Signed +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | Fudge | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | MAC Size | / +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ MAC / / / +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Original ID | Error | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Other Len | / +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Other Data / / / +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The contents of the RDATA fields are:*AlgorithmName - aName: an octet sequence identifying the TSIG algorithmnamein the domain name syntax. (Allowed names are listed in Table2.)3.) The name is stored in the DNS name wire format as described in [RFC1034]. As per [RFC3597], this name MUST NOT be compressed.*TimeSigned -Signed: an unsigned 48-bit integer containing the time the message was signed as seconds since 00:00 on 1970-01-01 UTC, ignoring leap seconds.* Fudge -Fudge: an unsigned 16-bit integer specifying the allowed time difference in seconds permitted in the Time Signed field.*MACSize -Size: an unsigned 16-bit integer giving the length of the MAC field in octets. Truncation is indicated by a MACsizeSize less than the size of the keyed hash produced by the algorithm specified by the Algorithm Name.* MAC -MAC: a sequence of octets whose contents are defined by the TSIG algorithm used, possibly truncated as specified by the MAC Size. The length of this field is given by theMacMAC Size. Calculation of the MAC is detailed in Section 4.3.*OriginalID - AnID: an unsigned 16-bit integer holding the message ID of the original request message. For a TSIG RR on a request, it is set equal to the DNS message ID. In a TSIG attached to a response--- or in cases such as the forwarding of a dynamic update request--- the field contains the ID of the original DNS request.* Error -Error: in responses, an unsigned 16-bit integer containing the extended RCODE covering TSIG processing. In requests, this MUST be zero.*OtherLen -Len: an unsigned 16-bit integer specifying the length of the"Other Data"Other Data field in octets.*OtherData -Data: additional data relevant to the TSIG record. In responses, this will be empty(i.e. "Other Len"(i.e., Other Len will be zero) unless the content of the Error field is BADTIME, in which case it will be a 48-bit unsigned integer containing the server's current time as the number of seconds since 00:00 on 1970-01-01 UTC, ignoring leap seconds (see Section 5.2.3). This document assigns no meaning to its contents in requests. 4.3. MAC Computation When generating or verifying the contents of a TSIG record, the data listed in the rest of this section are passed, in the order listed below, as input to MAC computation. The data are passed in network byte order or wire format, asappropriate,appropriate and are fed into the hashing function as a continuous octet sequence with nointer-fieldinterfield separator or padding. 4.3.1. Request MAC Only included in the computation of a MAC for a response message (or the first message in a multi-message response), the validated request MAC MUST be included in the MAC computation. If the request MAC failed to validate, an unsigned error message MUST be returnedinstead.instead (Section 5.3.2). The request's MAC, comprising the following fields, is digested in wire format: +==========+=========================+========================+ | Field | Type | Description---------- ----------------------- ----------------------| +==========+=========================+========================+ | MACLengthSize | Unsigned 16-bit integer | in network byte order | +----------+-------------------------+------------------------+ | MAC Data | octet sequence | exactly as transmitted | +----------+-------------------------+------------------------+ Table 1: Request's MAC Special considerations apply to the TSIG calculation for the second and subsequent messages in a response that consists of multiple DNS messages(e.g.(e.g., a zone transfer). These are described in Section 5.3.1. 4.3.2. DNS MessageThe DNS message used inIn the MACcomputation is a whole and completecomputation, the whole/complete DNS message in wireformat.format is used. When creatinga TSIG, itan outgoing message, the TSIG is based on the message content before the TSIG RR has been added to the additionaldatasection and before the DNS Message Header's ARCOUNTfieldhas been incremented tocontaininclude the TSIG RR.

(This could happen, for example, when forwarding a dynamic update request.) 4.3.3. TSIG Variables Also included in the digest is certain information present in the TSIG RR.

The Original ID field is not included in this section, as it has already been substituted for the message ID in the DNS header and hashed. For each label type, there must be a defined "Canonical wire format" that specifies how to express a label in an unambiguous way. For label type 00, this is defined in[RFC4034]Section6.2.6.2 of [RFC4034]. The use of label types other than 00 is not defined for this specification. 4.3.3.1. Time Values Used in TSIG Calculations The data digested includes the two timer values in the TSIG header in order to defend against replay attacks. If this were not done, an attacker could replay old messages but update the"Time Signed"Time Signed and"Fudge"Fudge fields to make the message look new.This data isThe two fields are collectively named "TSIG Timers", and for the purpose of MAC calculation, they are hashed in their"on the wire"wire format, in the following order: first Time Signed, then Fudge. 5. Protocol Details 5.1. Generation of TSIG on Requests Once the outgoing record has been constructed, the client performs the keyed hash(HMAC)(Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC)) computation, appends a TSIG record with the calculated MAC to theAdditional Dataadditional section (incrementing the ARCOUNT to reflect the additional RR), and transmits the request to the server. This TSIG record MUST be the only TSIG RR in the message and MUST be the last record in theAdditional Dataadditional data section. The client MUST store the MAC and the key name from the request while awaiting an answer. The digest components for a request are: DNS Message (request) TSIG Variables (request) 5.2. Server Processing of Request If an incoming message contains a TSIG record, it MUST be the last record in the additional section. Multiple TSIG records are not allowed. If multiple TSIG records are detected or a TSIG record is present in any other position, the DNS message is dropped and a response with RCODE 1 (FORMERR) MUST be returned. Upon receipt of a message with exactly one correctly placed TSIG RR, a copy of the TSIG RR isstored,stored and the TSIG RR is removed from the DNSMessage,message and decremented out of the DNS message header's ARCOUNT. If the TSIG RR cannot be interpreted, the server MUST regard the message as corrupt and return a FORMERR to the server.OtherwiseOtherwise, the server is REQUIRED to return a TSIG RR in the response. To validate the received TSIG RR, the server MUST perform the following checks in the following order: 1. CheckKEYkey 2. Check MAC 3. CheckTIMEtime values 4. CheckTruncationtruncation policy 5.2.1. Key Check and Error Handling If a non-forwarding server does not recognize the key or algorithm used by the client (or recognizes the algorithm but does not implement it), the server MUST generate an error response with RCODE 9 (NOTAUTH) and TSIG ERROR 17 (BADKEY). This response MUST be unsigned as specified in Section 5.3.2. The server SHOULD log the error. (Special considerations apply to forwardingservers,servers; see Section 5.5.) 5.2.2. MAC Check and Error Handling Using the information in the TSIG, the server MUST verify the MAC by doing its own calculation and comparing the result with the MAC received. If the MAC fails to verify, the server MUST generate an error response as specified in Section 5.3.2 with RCODE 9 (NOTAUTH) and TSIG ERROR 16 (BADSIG). This response MUST beunsignedunsigned, as specified in Section 5.3.2. The server SHOULD log the error. 5.2.2.1. MAC Truncation When space is at a premium and the strength of the full length of a MAC is not needed, it is reasonable to truncate the keyed hash and use the truncated value for authentication. HMAC SHA-1 truncated to 96 bits is an option available in several IETF protocols, including IPsec and TLS. However, while this option is kept for backwards compatibility, it may not provide a security level appropriate for all cases in the modern environment. In these cases, it is preferable to use a hashing algorithm such as SHA-256-128, SHA-384-192384-192, or SHA-512-256 [RFC4868]. Processing of a truncated MAC follows these rules:1.If"MAC size"the MAC Size field is greater than the keyed hash output length: This case MUST NOT be generated and, if received, MUST cause the DNS message to be dropped and RCODE 1 (FORMERR) to be returned.2.If"MAC size"the MAC Size field equals the keyed hash output length: The entireoutputkeyed hash output is present and used.3. "MAC size"If the MAC Size field is less than the larger of 10 (octets) and half the length of the hash function in use: With the exception of certain TSIG error messages described in Section 5.3.2, where it is permitted that the MACsizeSize be zero, this case MUST NOT be generated and, if received, MUST cause the DNS message to be dropped and RCODE 1 (FORMERR) to be returned.4.Otherwise: This is sent when the signer has truncated the keyed hash output to an allowable length, as described in [RFC2104], taking initial octets and discarding trailing octets. TSIG truncation can only be to an integral number of octets. On receipt of a DNS message with truncation thus indicated, the locally calculated MAC is similarlytruncatedtruncated, and only the truncated values are compared for authentication. The request MAC used when calculating the TSIG MAC for a reply is the truncated request MAC. 5.2.3. Time Check and Error Handling If the server time is outside the time interval specified by the request (whichis:is the TimeSigned,Signed value plus/minusFudge),the Fudge value), the server MUST generate an error response with RCODE 9 (NOTAUTH) and TSIG ERROR 18 (BADTIME). The server SHOULD also cache the most recent Time Signed value in a message generated by akey,key and SHOULD return BADTIME if a message received later has an earlier Time Signed value. A response indicating a BADTIME error MUST be signed by the same key as the request. It MUST include the client's current time in the Time Signed field, the server's current time (an unsigned 48-bit integer) in the Other Data field, and 6 in the Other Len field. This is done so that the client can verify a message with a BADTIME error without the verification failing due to another BADTIME error. In addition, the Fudge field MUST be set to the fudge value received from the client. The data signed is specified in Section 5.3.2. The server SHOULD log the error. Caching the most recent Time Signed value and rejecting requests with an earlier one could lead to valid messages being rejected if transit through the network led to UDP packets arriving in a different order to the one in which they were sent. Implementations should be aware of this possibility and be prepared to deal with it,e.g.e.g., by retransmitting the rejected request with a new TSIG once outstanding requests have completed or the time given by their Time Signed value plusfudgethe Fudge value has passed. If implementations do retry requests in these cases, a limit SHOULD be placed on the maximum number of retries. 5.2.4. Truncation Check and Error Handling If a TSIG is received with truncation that is permittedunderper Section 5.2.2.1abovebut the MAC is too short for the local policy in force, an RCODE 9 (NOTAUTH) and TSIG ERROR 22 (BADTRUNC) MUST be returned. The server SHOULD log the error. 5.3. Generation of TSIG on Answers When a server has generated a response to a signed request, it signs the response using the same algorithm and key. The server MUST NOT generate a signed response to a request if either theKEYkey is invalid(e.g.(e.g., key name or algorithm name areunknown),unknown) or the MAC failsvalidation:validation; see Section 5.3.2 for details of responding in these cases. It also MUST NOTnotgenerate a signed response to an unsigned request, except in the case of a response to a client's unsigned TKEY request if the secret key is established on the server side after the server processed the client's request. Signing responses to unsigned TKEY requests MUST be explicitly specified in the description of an individual secret key establishment algorithm [RFC3645]. The digest components used to generate a TSIG on a response are: Request MAC DNS Message (response) TSIG Variables (response) (This calculation is different for the second and subsequent message in a multi-messageanswer,answer; see below.) If addition of the TSIG record will cause the message to be truncated, the server MUST alter the response so that a TSIG can be included. This responseconsists ofcontains only the question and a TSIG record,andhas the TC bitsetset, and has an RCODE of 0 (NOERROR).TheAt this point, the client SHOULDat this pointretry the request using TCP (as per[RFC1035] 4.2.2).Section 4.2.2 of [RFC1035]). 5.3.1. TSIG on TCP Connections A DNS TCPsessionsession, such as a zonetransfertransfer, can include multiple DNS messages. Using TSIG on such a connection can protect the connection from an attack and provide data integrity. The TSIG MUST be included on all DNS messages in the response. For backward compatibility, a clientwhichthat receives DNS messages and verifies TSIG MUST accept up to 99 intermediary messages without a TSIG and MUST verify that both the first and last message contain a TSIG. The first message is processed as a standard answer (see Section5.3)5.3), but subsequent messages have the following digest components: Prior MAC (running) DNS Messages (any unsigned messages since the last TSIG) TSIG Timers (current message) The "Prior MAC" is the MAC from the TSIG attached to the last message containing a TSIG. "DNS Messages" comprises the concatenation (in message order) of all messages after the last message that included a TSIG and includes the current message. "TSIGtimers"Timers" comprises the"Time Signed"Time Signed and"Fudge"Fudge fields (in that order) pertaining to the message for which the TSIGis being created:was created; this means that the successive TSIG records in the stream will have non-decreasing"Time Signed" fields.Time Signed values. Note that only the timers are included in the second and subsequent messages, not all the TSIG variables. This allows the client to rapidly detect when the session has been altered; at whichpointpoint, it can close the connection and retry. If a client TSIG verification fails, the client MUST close the connection. If the client does not receive TSIG records frequently enough (as specifiedabove)above), it SHOULD assume the connection has beenhijackedhijacked, and it SHOULD close the connection. The client SHOULD treat this the same way as they would any other interrupted transfer (although the exact behavior is not specified). 5.3.2. Generation of TSIG on Error Returns When a server detects an error relating to the key or MAC in the incoming request, the server SHOULD send back an unsigned error message (MACsizeSize == 0 and empty MAC). It MUST NOT send back a signed error message. If an error is detected relating to the TSIG validity period or the MAC is too short for the local policy, the server SHOULD send back a signed error message. The digest components are: Request MAC (if the request MAC validated) DNS Message (response) TSIG Variables (response) The reason that the request MAC is not included in this MAC in some cases is to make it possible for the client to verify the error. If the error is not a TSIGerrorerror, the response MUST be generated as specified in Section 5.3. 5.4. Client Processing of Answer When a client receives a response from a server and expects to see a TSIG, it first checks if the TSIG RR is present in the response. If not, the response is treated as having a format error and is discarded. If the TSIG RR is present, the client performs the same checks as described in Section 5.2. If the TSIG RR is unsigned as specified in Section 5.3.2 or does not validate, the message MUST be discarded unless the RCODE is 9 (NOAUTH). In this case, the client SHOULD attempt to verify the response as if it were a TSIG error, as described in the following subsections. Regardless of the RCODE, a message containing a TSIG RR that is unsigned as specified in Section 5.3.2 orwhichthat fails verification SHOULD NOT be considered an acceptableresponseresponse, as it may have been spoofed or manipulated. Instead, the client SHOULD log an error and continue to wait for a signed response until the request times out. 5.4.1. Key Error Handling If an RCODE on a response is 9 (NOTAUTH), but the response TSIG validates and the TSIG key is recognized by the client but is different from that used on the request, then this is aKey Error.key-related error. The client MAY retry the request using the key specified by the server. However, this should never occur, as a server MUST NOT sign a response with a different key to that used to sign the request. 5.4.2. MAC Error Handling If the response RCODE is 9 (NOTAUTH) and TSIG ERROR is 16 (BADSIG), this is aMACMAC-related error, andclientclients MAY retry the request with a new requestIDID, but it would be better to try a different shared key if one is available. Clients SHOULD keep track of how many MAC errors are associated with each key. Clients SHOULD log this event. 5.4.3. Time Error Handling If the response RCODE is 9 (NOTAUTH) and the TSIG ERROR is 18(BADTIME),(BADTIME) or the current time does not fall in the range specified in the TSIG record, then this is aTimetime-related error. This is an indication that the client and server clocks are not synchronized. In thiscasecase, the client SHOULD log the event. DNS resolvers MUST NOT adjust any clocks in the client based on BADTIME errors, but the server's time in the Other Data field SHOULD be logged. 5.4.4. Truncation Error Handling If the response RCODE is 9 (NOTAUTH) and the TSIG ERROR is 22(BADTRUNC)(BADTRUNC), then this is aTruncationtruncation-related error. The client MAY retry with a lesser truncation up to the full HMAC output (no truncation), using the truncation used in the response as a hint for what the server policy allowed (Section 7). Clients SHOULD log this event. 5.5. Special Considerations for Forwarding Servers A server acting as a forwarding server of a DNS message SHOULD check for the existence of a TSIG record. If the name on the TSIG is not of a secret that the server shares with theoriginatororiginator, the server MUST forward the message unchanged including the TSIG. If the name of the TSIG is of a key this server shares with the originator, it MUST process the TSIG. If the TSIG passes all checks, the forwarding server MUST, if possible, include a TSIG of itsown,own to the destination or the next forwarder. If no transaction security is available to the destination and the message is aquery then,query, and if the corresponding response has the AD flag (see [RFC4035]) set, the forwarder MUST clear the AD flag before adding the TSIG to the response and returning the result to the system from which it received the query. 6. Algorithms and Identifiers The only message digest algorithm specified in the first version of these specifications [RFC2845] was "HMAC-MD5" (see[RFC1321],[RFC1321] and [RFC2104]). Although a review of its security some years ago [RFC6151] concluded that "it may not be urgent to remove HMAC-MD5 from the existing protocols", with the availability of more securealternativesalternatives, the opportunity has been taken to make the implementation of this algorithm optional. [RFC4635] added mandatory support in TSIG for SHA-1[FIPS180-4],[FIPS180-4] [RFC3174]. SHA-1 collisions have been demonstrated[SHA1SHAMBLES][SHA1SHAMBLES], so the MD5 security considerations described insectionSection 2 of [RFC6151] apply to SHA-1 in a similar manner. Although support for hmac-sha1 in TSIG is still mandatory for compatibility reasons, existing uses SHOULD be replaced with hmac-sha256 or other SHA-2 digest algorithms[FIPS180-4],([FIPS180-4], [RFC3874],[RFC6234].[RFC6234]). Use of TSIG between two DNS agents is by mutual agreement. That agreement can include the support of additional algorithms and criteria as to which algorithms and truncations are acceptable, subject to the restriction and guidelines in Section5.2.2.1 above.5.2.2.1. Key agreement can be by the TKEY mechanism [RFC2930] or some other mutually agreeable method. Implementations that support TSIG MUST also implement HMAC SHA1 and HMAC SHA256 and MAY implement gss-tsig and the other algorithms listed below. SHA-1 truncated to 96 bits (12 octets) SHOULD be implemented. +==========================+================+=================+ | Algorithm Name | Implementation | Use------------------------ -------------- ---------------| +==========================+================+=================+ | HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT | MAY | MUST NOT | +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ | gss-tsig | MAY | MAYhmac-sha1| +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ | hmac-sha1 | MUST | NOT RECOMMENDED | +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ | hmac-sha224 | MAY | MAY | +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ | hmac-sha256 | MUST | RECOMMENDED | +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ | hmac-sha256-128 | MAY | MAY | +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ | hmac-sha384 | MAY | MAY | +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ | hmac-sha384-192 | MAY | MAY | +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ | hmac-sha512 | MAY | MAY | +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ | hmac-sha512-256 | MAY | MAY | +--------------------------+----------------+-----------------+ Table23: Algorithms for Implementations Supporting TSIG 7. TSIG Truncation Policy As noted above, two DNS agents (e.g., resolver and server) must mutually agree to use TSIG. Implicit in such an "agreement" are criteria as to acceptablekeyskeys, algorithms, andalgorithms and, with(with the extensions in thisdocument,document) truncations. Local policies MAY require the rejection of TSIGs, even though they use an algorithm for which implementation is mandatory. When a local policy permits acceptance of a TSIG with a particular algorithm and a particular non-zero amount of truncation, it SHOULD also permit the use of that algorithm with lesser truncation (a longer MAC) up to the full keyed hash output. Regardless of a lower acceptable truncated MAC length specified by local policy, a reply SHOULD be sent with a MAC at least as long as that in the corresponding request.NoteNote, if the request specified a MAC length longer than the keyed hashoutputoutput, it will be rejected by processing rulesSection 5.2.2.1(Section 5.2.2.1, case1.1). Implementations permitting multiple acceptable algorithms and/or truncations SHOULD permit this list to be ordered by presumed strength and SHOULD allow different truncations for the same algorithm to be treated as separate entities in this list. When so implemented, policies SHOULD accept a presumed stronger algorithm and truncation than the minimum strength required by the policy. 8. Shared Secrets Secret keys are very sensitive information and all available steps should be taken to protect them on every host on which they are stored.GenerallyGenerally, such hosts need to be physically protected. If they are multi-user machines, great care should be taken so that unprivileged users have no access to keying material. Resolvers often run unprivileged, which means all users of a host would be able to see whatever configuration dataisare used by the resolver. A name server usually runs privileged, which means its configuration data need not be visible to all users of the host. For this reason, a host that implements transaction-based authentication should probably be configured with a "stub resolver" and a local caching and forwarding name server. This presents a special problem for[RFC2136][RFC2136], which otherwise depends on clients to communicate only with a zone's authoritative name servers. Use ofstrongstrong, random shared secrets is essential to the security of TSIG. See [RFC4086] for a discussion of this issue. The secret SHOULD be at least as long as the keyed hash output [RFC2104]. 9. IANA Considerations IANA maintains a registry of algorithm names to be used as "AlgorithmNames"Names", as defined in Section4.2.4.2 [IANA-TSIG]. Algorithm names are text strings encoded using the syntax of a domain name. There is no structure to the names, and algorithm names are compared as if they were DNS names, i.e., comparison is case insensitive. Previous specifications[RFC2845]([RFC2845] and[RFC4635][RFC4635]) defined values for theHMAC-MD5HMAC- MD5 and some HMAC-SHA algorithms. IANA has also registered"gss-tsig""gss- tsig" as an identifier for TSIG authentication where the cryptographic operations are delegated to the Generic Security Service (GSS) [RFC3645]. This document adds to the allowed algorithms, and the registryshould behas been updated with the names listed in Table2.3. New algorithms are assigned using the IETF Review policy defined in [RFC8126]. The algorithm name HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT looks like afully-qualifiedfully qualified domain name for historical reasons; other algorithm names are simple, single-component names. IANA maintains a registry ofRCODESRCODEs (errorcodes),codes) (see [IANA-RCODEs], including "TSIG Error values" to be used for "Error"valuesvalues, as defined in Section 4.2. This document defines the RCODEs as described in Section 3. New error codes are assigned and specified as in [RFC6895]. 10. Security Considerations The approach specified here is computationally much less expensive than the signatures specified in DNSSEC. As long as the shared secret key is not compromised, strong authentication is provided between two DNS systems, e.g., for the last hop from a local name server to the userresolver,resolver or between primary and secondarynameservers.name servers. Recommendations for choosing and maintaining secret keys can be found in [RFC2104]. If the client host has been compromised, the server should suspend the use of all secrets known to that client. If possible, secrets should be stored in an encrypted form. Secrets should never be transmitted in the clear over any network. This document does not address the issue on how to distribute secrets except that it mentions the possibilities of manual configuration and the use of TKEY [RFC2930]. Secrets SHOULD NOT be shared by more than two entities; any such additional sharing would allow any party knowing the key to impersonate any other such party to members of the group. This mechanism does not authenticate source data, only its transmission between two parties who share some secret. The original source data can come from a compromised zone master or can be corrupted during transit from an authentic zone master to some "cachingforwarder."forwarder". However, if the server is faithfully performing the full DNSSEC security checks, then onlysecurity checkedsecurity-checked data will be available to the client. AfudgeFudge value that is too large may leave the server open to replay attacks. AfudgeFudge value that is too small may cause failures if machines are not time synchronized or there are unexpected network delays. The RECOMMENDED value in most situations is 300 seconds. To prevent cross-algorithm attacks, there SHOULD only be one algorithm associated with any given key name. In several cases where errors are detected, an unsigned error message must be returned. This can allow for an attacker to spoof or manipulate these responses. Section 5.4 recommends logging these as errors and continuing to wait for a signed response until the request times out. Although the strength of an algorithm determines its security, there have been some arguments that mild truncation can strengthen a MAC by reducing the information available to an attacker. However, excessive truncation clearly weakens authentication by reducing the number of bits an attacker has to try to break the authentication by brute force [RFC2104]. Significant progress has been made recently in cryptanalysis of hash functions of the types used here. While the results so far should not affect HMAC, the stronger SHA-256 algorithm is being made mandatory as a precaution. See also the Security Considerations section of [RFC2104] from which the limits on truncation in this RFC were taken. 10.1. Issue Fixed inthisThis Document When signing a DNS reply message using TSIG, the MAC computation uses the request message's MAC as an input to cryptographically relate the reply to the request. The original TSIG specification [RFC2845] required that theTIMEtime values be checked before the request's MAC. If theTIMEtime was invalid, some implementations failed to carry out further checks and could use an invalid request MAC in the signed reply. This document makes itamandatory that the request MAC is considered to be invalid until it has beenvalidated:validated; until then, any answer must be unsigned. For this reason, the request MAC is now checked before theTIME value.time values. 10.2. WhynotNot DNSSEC?These extracts from the original document [RFC2845] (updated to reference current standards) analyze DNSSEC in order to justify the introduction of TSIG.DNS hasrecentlybeen extended by DNSSEC ([RFC4033],[RFC4034][RFC4034], and [RFC4035]) to provide for data origin authentication, and public key distribution, all based on public key cryptography and public key based digital signatures. To be practical, this form of security generally requires extensive local caching of keys and tracing of authentication through multiple keys and signatures to a pre-trusted locally configured key. One difficulty with the DNSSEC scheme is that common DNS implementations include simple "stub" resolvers which do not have caches. Such resolvers typically rely on a caching DNS server on another host. It is impractical for these stub resolvers to perform general DNSSEC authentication and they would naturally depend on their caching DNS server to perform such services for them. To do so securely requires secure communication of queries and responses. DNSSEC provides public key transaction signatures to support this, but such signatures are very expensive computationally to generate. In general, these require the same complex public key logic that is impractical for stubs.andA second area where use of straight DNSSEC public key based mechanisms may be impractical is authenticating dynamic update [RFC2136] requests. DNSSEC provides for request signatures but with DNSSEC they, like transaction signatures, require computationally expensive public key cryptography and complex authentication logic. Secure Domain Name System Dynamic Update ([RFC3007]) describes how different keys are used in dynamically updated zones. 11. References 11.1.
