DNSSEC Operational Practicesdraft-ietf-dnsop-dnssec-operational-practices-00.txt Olaf M. Kolkman (RIPE NCC) & Miek Gieben (NLnet Labs)
What ‘s this about • Capturing first operational experience with DNSSEC Mainly workshops and experiments • Identifying operational differences with “plain” DNS. • Giving some basic recommendations; • To be published as ‘Informational’
Content • Document is about • TIME • DNSKEY • Parental Policies • How do RR sets propagate through the system. • New: Behavior depended on two RR sets propagating through the system.
TIME issues • Time: DNSSEC introduces absolute times. • Main problem: cached data expires at RRSIG expiry • The ‘Maximum zone TT’L of your zone data should be a fraction of SIG validity period • Push out new signatures at least 1 times TTL before RRSIGs expire. • Problem related to authoritative servers: • SOA expiration doesn’t know about DNSSEC.
DNSKEY issues Key size recommendations. • Based on a “Journal of Cryptology’ publication by Lenstra and Verheul. Key Rollover Scenarios • Caches may have DNSKEYs and RRSIGs from different versions of a zone.
Key rollover scenarios • About making sure that there is always a DNSKEY in the cache to verify the RRSIG that came directly from an authoritative server • ZSK rollovers • Double signatures rollover (large zone files) • Pre-published key rollover (more steps hence more administration, cryptanalysis)
Key rollover scenarios (cntnd) • KSK rollovers • Double signature rollover. • Only one DS RR at the parent at all times. • Loose coupling, most actions are done by the child. • Needs to wait for the parent to publish the new DS RR. • Different from Mike St Johns proposal • Needs two DS RRs at the parent and multiple interactions • Is automated (will need to be described in this doc too)
Other Issues covered • Planning for emergency rollovers • Some parental policy considerations • DNSKEY exchange and storage • Preventing “security lameness” • DS validity
WG input. • Yes please, the document is yours now. • Test the described procedures • Editorial nits to Kolkman or Gieben, content discussion on the list.
