   <abstract>
     <t>NSEC3 is a DNSSEC mechanism providing proof of non-existence nonexistence by
asserting that there are no names that exist between two domain names
within a zone.  Unlike its counterpart NSEC, NSEC3 avoids directly
disclosing the bounding domain name pairs.  This document provides
guidance on setting NSEC3 parameters based on recent operational
deployment experience.  This document updates <xref target="RFC5155"/> RFC 5155 with
guidance about selecting NSEC3 iteration and salt parameters.</t>

  NSEC3 also provides “opt-out support”, "opt-out support", allowing for blocks of

     <t>NSEC3 records have a number of tunable parameters that are specified
via an NSEC3PARAM record at the zone apex.  These parameters are the
hash algorithm, the processing flags, the number of hash iterations iterations, and
the salt.  Each of these has security and operational considerations
that impact both zone owners and validating resolvers.  This document

     <section anchor="iterations" title="Iterations"> anchor="iterations">
       <name>Iterations</name>

       <t>NSEC3 records are created by first hashing the input domain and then
repeating that hashing using the same algorithm a number of times based on the
iteration parameter in the NSEC3PARM NSEC3PARAM and NSEC3 records.

The first hash with NSEC3 is typically sufficient to discourage zone
enumeration performed by “zone walking” "zone walking" an unhashed NSEC chain.</t>
       <t>Note that <xref target="RFC5155"/> describes the Iterations field to be “The as follows</t>
<blockquote>The
Iterations field defines the number of additional times the hash
function has been performed.”  This performed.</blockquote>
<t>This means that an NSEC3 record with an
Iterations field of 0 actually requires one hash iteration.</t>
       <t>Only determined parties
with significant resources are likely to try and uncover hashed
values, regardless of the number of additional iterations performed.
If an adversary really wants to expend significant CPU resources to
mount an offline dictionary attack on a zone’s zone's NSEC3 chain, they’ll they'll
likely be able to find most of the “guessable” "guessable" names despite any
level of additional hashing iterations.</t>
       <t>Most names published in the DNS are rarely secret or unpredictable.
They are published to be memorable, used and consumed by humans.  They
are often recorded in many other network logs such as email logs,
certificate transparency logs, web page links, intrusion detection intrusion-detection
systems, malware scanners, email archives, etc.  Many times a simple
dictionary of commonly used domain names prefixes (www, mail,
imap, login, database, etc.) can be used to quickly reveal a large
number of labels within a zone.  Because of this, there are increasing
performance costs yet diminishing returns associated with applying
additional hash iterations beyond the first.</t>
       <t>Although Section 10.3 of <xref target="RFC5155"/> target="RFC5155" sectionFormat="of" section="10.3"/> specifies the upper bounds for the
number of hash iterations to use, there is no published guidance for
zone owners about good values to select.  Recent academic studies
have shown that NSEC3 hashing provides only moderate
protection <xref target="GPUNSEC3"/><xref target="GPUNSEC3"/> <xref target="ZONEENUM"/>.</t>
     </section>
     <section anchor="salt" title="Salt"> anchor="salt">
       <name>Salt</name>
       <t>NSEC3 records provide an additional salt value, which can be
combined with an FQDN a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to influence the resulting hash, but properties
of this extra salt are complicated.</t>
       <t>In cryptography, salts generally add a layer of protection against
offline, stored dictionary attacks by combining the value to be hashed
with a unique “salt” "salt" value. This prevents adversaries from building up
and remembering a single dictionary of values that can translate a
hash output back to the value that it was derived from.</t>
       <t>In the case of DNS, the situation is different because the hashed
names placed in NSEC3 records are always implicitly “salted” "salted" by
hashing the fully-qualified domain name FQDN from each zone. Thus, no
single pre-computed table works to speed up dictionary attacks
against multiple target zones. An attacker is always required to
compute a complete dictionary per zone, which is expensive in both
storage and CPU time.</t>
       <t>To understand the role of the additional NSEC3 salt field, we have to
consider how a typical zone walking attack works. Typically, the attack
has two phases - phases: online and offline. In the online phase, an attacker
“walks
"walks the zone” zone" by enumerating (almost) all hashes listed in NSEC3
records and storing them for the offline phase. Then, in the offline
cracking phase, the attacker attempts to crack the underlying hash. In
this phase, the additional salt value raises the cost of the attack
only if the salt value changes during the online phase of the
attack. In other words, an additional, constant salt value does not
change the cost of the attack.</t>
       <t>Changing a zone’s zone's salt value requires the construction of a complete
new NSEC3 chain.  This is true both when re-signing the entire zone at
once,
once and when incrementally signing it in the background where the new
salt is only activated once every name in the chain has been
completed. As a result, re-salting is a very complex operation, with
significant CPU time, memory, and bandwidth consumption. This makes
very frequent re-salting impractical, impractical and renders the additional salt
field functionally useless.</t>

     <name>Recommendations for Deploying and Validating NSEC3 Records"> Records</name>

       <t>First, if the operational or security features of NSEC3 are not
needed, then NSEC SHOULD <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> be used in preference to NSEC3. NSEC3
requires greater computational power (see <xref target="computationalburdens"/>)
for both authoritative servers and validating clients.  Specifically,
there is a nontrivial complexity in finding matching NSEC3 records to
randomly generated prefixes within a DNS zone.  NSEC mitigates this
concern.  If NSEC3 must be used, then an iterations count of 0 MUST <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> be
used to alleviate computational burdens.  Note that extra iteration
counts other than 0 increase the impact of CPU-exhausting DoS attacks,
and also increase the risk of interoperability problems.</t>
       <t>Note that deploying NSEC with minimally covering NSEC records
<xref target="RFC4470"></xref> target="RFC4470"/> also incurs a cost, and zone owners should measure the
computational difference in deploying either RFC4470 <xref target="RFC4470"/> or NSEC3.</t>
       <t>In short, for all zones, the recommended NSEC3 parameters are as shown
below:</t>

       <t>For very large and sparsely signed zones, where the majority of the

       <t>Operators SHOULD NOT <bcp14>SHOULD NOT</bcp14> use a salt by indicating a zero-length salt value
instead (represented as a “-“ "-" in the presentation format).</t>
       <t>If salts are used, note that since the NSEC3PARAM RR is not used by
validating resolvers (see <xref target="RFC5155"></xref> section 4), target="RFC5155" sectionFormat="of" section="4"/>), the iterations and
salt parameters can be changed without the need to wait for RRsets to
expire from caches.  A complete new NSEC3 chain needs to be
constructed and the full zone needs to be re-signed.</t>

       <t>Operators of secondary services should advertise the parameter limits

<abstract><t>The DNSSEC protocol makes use of various cryptographic algorithms in order to provide authentication of DNS data and proof of nonexistence.  To ensure interoperability between DNS resolvers and DNS authoritative servers, it is necessary to specify a set of algorithm implementation requirements and usage guidelines to ensure that there is at least one algorithm that all implementations support.  This document defines the current algorithm implementation requirements and usage guidance for DNSSEC.  This document obsoletes RFC 6944.</t></abstract> month="April" year="2014"/>

     <t>At the time of publication, setting an upper limit of 100 iterations
for treating a zone as insecure is interoperable without significant
problems, but at the same time still enables CPU-exhausting DoS
attacks.</t>

     <t>The queries per second (QPS) of authoritative servers will decrease due
to computational overhead when processing DNS requests for zones
containing higher NSEC3 iteration counts.  The table below
