  1. Computer Networks Application layer Application layer -- May 2004

  2. Overview • DNS -- Domain Name System • E-mail • Terminal Access: TELNET Application layer -- May 2004

  3. Domain names • IP-addresses not user friendly  readable names telnet 134.58.42.36 telnet nix.cs.kuleuven.ac.be • Overview • Definition of Internet domain names • Translating domain names into IP addresses Application layer -- May 2004

  4. Domain names • Internet domain names • Hierarchical structure nix.cs.kuleuven.ac.be country code (Belgium) university (academic) K.U.Leuven dept. Computer science name of computer system Application layer -- May 2004

  5. Domain names • 3 groups Top Level Domains (TLD) • 2-letter country codes (ISO 3166) • generic names (similar organisations) • com commercial organisations • org non-commercial organisations (bv. Vzw) • int international organisations (nato, EU, …) • net companies offering network services • NEW: name, biz, info,… • names of organisations within USA • edu universities • gov US government • mil US army Application layer -- May 2004

  6. Domain names • View on Internet domain name space Application layer -- May 2004

  7. Domain names • Each TLD: • administrator (assign names within domain) • “be”: • till jan. 2000: dept. Computer science • now: vzw DNS BE (Ispa, Agoria, Beltug) • Each organisation with a domain name: • creates new names within its domain • E.g.. kuleuven.ac.be and kulak.ac.be • Hierarchical name structure + delegation = workable structure Application layer -- May 2004

  8. Translating domain names • Database • not centralised (bottleneck!) • name server • Translate domain name  IP-address • hierarchy of name server • For each domain (zone): separate (primary) name server • Zone = sub tree of name space tree • Primary name server • Gets info from a zone file on disk Application layer -- May 2004

  9. Domain names • Internet domain names <> zones Application layer -- May 2004

  22. Translating domain names • Name server of TLD names • = root name server • Known IP-address • Contains only references to TLD name servers Application layer -- May 2004

  23. www.cs.vu.nl 130.37.24.11 Root-NS Lokale NS (cs.kuleuven.ac.be) NS (nl) NS (vu.nl) 130.37.24.11 NS (cs.vu.nl) Resolving domain names Example : www.cs.vu.nl Application layer -- May 2004

  24. Resolving domain names 2 schemes • Iterative (see previous slide) • Name server returns reference • Recursive • Scheme of forwarding requests to “better” name servers • Correct figure? • Comparison? Application layer -- May 2004

  25. Resolving domain names • Cumbersome? • Name servers: “cache” • Translations are cached during the specified time (TTL) • Vulnerable? • Name server can crash • For each domain: many name servers • One primary: returns authoritative records • At least one secondary: return cached records, possibly out of date Application layer -- May 2004

  26. DNS Security Normal situation. • Can we trust the DNS Replies? Application layer -- May 2004

  27. DNS Security Normal situation. • Can we trust the DNS Replies? An attack based on breaking into DNS and modifying Bob's record. Application layer -- May 2004

  28. DNS Security • How Trudy spoofs Alice's ISP. • Reply faster than DNS server! Application layer -- May 2004

  29. DNS Security • Solution: DNSsec • New records • KEY: public key of zone • SIG: signed (with secret key) hash of set of resource records • Signed Replies from servers • Set of resource records (RRSets) • SIG Application layer -- May 2004

  30. DNS security • Resource Record set for bob.com: • A-record(s) for bob.com • Public key for bob.com • Signature of hash of A record & Key record, signed with signature of com Application layer -- May 2004

  31. Overview • DNS -- Domain Name System • E-mail • Terminal Access: TELNET Application layer -- May 2004

  32. Major components: User agent Mail servers = Transfer agents Protocols Transfer: SMTP Access: POP, IMAP user agent user agent user agent user agent user agent user agent SMTP SMTP SMTP mail server mail server mail server outgoing message queue user mailbox E-mail POP IMAP SMTP POP Application layer -- May 2004

  33. E-mail: user agent • Internet E-mail addresses pv@cs.kuleuven.be Pierre.Verbaeten@cs.kuleuven.be nachtradio@vrt.be • after @: domain name • before @: • login_name • FirstName.LastName • Name_of_Group Application layer -- May 2004

  34. E-mail: user agent • E-mail programs • Often (mostly) graphical user interface • functionality: • receive & read messages • compose & send a message • reply to a message • forward a message • Store messages in folders • maintain file with addresses • E.g.: Netscape, Exchange, Eudora, pine, elm, ... Application layer -- May 2004

  35. E-mail: user agent • E-mail program: Netscape Application layer -- May 2004

  36. E-mail: message • RFC 822: standard for text message format: • Structure of a message • Header From: sender To: destination Cc: copy to … Subject: • Blank line • Message body • Must be ASCII!!! header body Application layer -- May 2004

  46. summary Simple text based protocol: 7-bit ascii Line with “.” only to indicate end of message This string excluded inside message smtp requires reliable connections TCP: reliable byte stream ESMTP extensions Negotiate special services other contents: voice, video,… MIME extensions E-Mail: smtp protocol Application layer -- May 2004

  47. E-Mail: esmtp extensions • Approach • EHLO command: extensions available at server? • Symbolic name for each extension • Optional parameters for MAIL FROM: & RCPT TO • Some extensions • 8BITMIME: 8 bit data, still lines • BINARYMIME: arbitrary data • SIZE: server informs client of max size of message • CHECKPOINT: support for resuming broken sessions • DSN: delivery status notification Application layer -- May 2004

  48. MIME: multimedia mail extension, RFC 1341, 1521 additional lines in message header declare MIME content type Content encoded into ascii text E-Mail: MIME extensions MIME version From: Pierre.Verbaeten@cs.kuleuven.ac.be To: hilde@yahoo.com Subject: Picture MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type: image/jpeg base64 encoded data ..... ......................... ......base64 encoded data method used to encode data multimedia data type, subtype, encoded data Application layer -- May 2004
