Introduction. Recent events have required urgent consideration of privacy concerns in Internet protocols. In particular the lack of confidentiality controls in the DNS [RFC1035] protocol is of considerable concern. This document describes Private-DNS, a security enhancement for the DNS protocol that meets the principal use cases and requirements set out in [I-D.hallambaker-dnse]. This enhancement provides for encryption and authentication of the DNS protocol messages. Private-DNS makes use of the JSON Service Connect (JCX) Protocol [I- D.hallambaker-wsconnect] and the UYFM framing protocol described in that specification. 1.1. Related Work The proposal approach compliments the integrity controls provided by DNSSEC [RFC4033]. While both provide integrity controls, the controls provided by DNSSEC are based on digital signatures while this proposal provides controls based on a Message Authentica Code technique. Like the Omnibroker protocol [I-D.hallambaker-omnibroker], this proposal is built on JCX [I-D.hallambaker-wsconnect] but offers a low level interface to the DNS protocol alone as opposed to a high level interface to generalized discovery services. A client would use the DNSE-JX interface in cases where retrieval of specific DNS resource records is required. The OmniBroker protocol would be used in cases where the client delegates the choice of discovery strategy to the OmniBroker service. 1.2. Terminology The keywords MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL, when they appear in this document, are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119] 1.3. Defined Terms [[These terms are deliberately left blank here or else we will spend time wordsmithing the defined term definitions rather than looking at the protocol.] Hallam-Baker May 11, 2015 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Private DNS November 2014 Authoritative DNS Server Caching Recursive Resolver DNS DNS Client Recursive Resolver Stub Resolver 2. Architecture PRIVATE-DNS has two parts * Service Connection * DNS message encapsulation In PRIVATE-DNS, the service connection is provided by the existing [I-D.hallambaker-wsconnect] proposal. The DNS message encapsulation is new and supports encryption and authentication of the DNS protocol messages. To make use of PRIVATE-DNS a client first establishes a connection to a DNS server (resolver or authoritative) using the connection protocol. Once a client has established a connection it MAY use it to make as many queries as desired until either the connection context expires or is cancelled by the service. The Service Connection and Query Service MAY be operated on the same host or on separate hosts. 2.1. Service Connection The service connection mechanism is responsible for establishing a connection context between a client and a service. The connection context comprises: * A security context (opaque identifier, key, algorithm choice) between the client and the connection service * One or more query host connection contexts, each comprisingNetwork connection description (IP address, Port, Protocol, transport)Security Context (opaque identifier, key, algorithm choice) between the client and the query host The PRIVATE-DNS proposal is designed on the assumption that Service Connection transactions are relatively infrequent and thus the efficiency of the Service Connection protocol is not a major concern. Hallam-Baker May 11, 2015 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Private DNS November 2014 Accordingly the Service Connection protocol is implemented as a JSON/REST Web Service over HTTP. While of an efficient encoding (e.g. [I-D.hallambaker-jsonbcd] would permit a more efficient implementation of the protocol using UDP, such an approach would be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks against the service unless appropriate countermeasures were taken. For example use of a 'cookie' approach to prove the validity of the purported request source address. A service connection MAY return a host connection set that includes multiple protocol and/or transport options. This has the important consequence that it allows new message formats or a transition to an entirely new protocol to be effected by simply defining a new identifier. A distinction is drawn between a connection to a service and a connection to a host. A connection to a host is a relationship to a specific instance of a service with a distinct IP address. A connection to a service is a relationship to a set of hosts. This distinction is an important one for Denial of Service mitigation. A DNS service need not publish the same network connection description to every client. This permits a service to mitigate DoS attacks by filtering query requests by IP address, a strategy that is greatly enhanced by the large address space of IPv6. Different configurations of the Service Connection service allow a DNS service to meet different combinations of security requirements. For example the Public Resolver described in [U-PUBLIC] would not require authentication of the client to the service but this would be required for the Subscriber, Private and Hybrid Resolvers described in [U-SUBSCRIBER], [U-PRIVATE] and [U-HYBRID].]. 2.1.1. Example: Public Resolver Following the use case [[U-PUBLIC] described in [I-D.hallambaker- dnse], Alice buys a laptop for her personal use at home. To ensure the privacy of her DNS connection she selects example.com, a public resolver that provides DNS service without requiring any form of subscription or registration. During the initial configuration process, the machine uses the local DNS advertised in the DCHP configuration for the first and last time for discovery of the Service Connection Service of example.com. Having discovered a Service Connection Service, the client requests a service provider for the PRIVATE-DNS service by establishing a TLS connection to indicated server. The server returns a TLS Certificate that meets the authentication criteria of the client. Once the TLS connection is established, an anonymous client connection is established.

Example: Hybrid Resolver Following the use case [U-HYBRID], Alice decides to use her personal computer for work under her employer's 'Bring Your Own Device' program. Alice needs access to multiple services within her employer's intranet. Her system administrator issues her an account name [TBS], a one time use PIN [TBS] and the DNS address of the service connection service byod.example.net.

Query Protocol Binding The Query Protocol Binding is designed to efficiently support the following features: * Encryption * Prevent use in an Denial of Service attack. * Authentication * Multiple DNS queries and responses per PRIVATE-DNS Query [[*] * Multiple packet responses [[*] The features marked [[*] are not essential for the purpose of meeting the privacy requirements but considerably improve the efficiency and flexibility of the DNS protocol. In particular the ability to make multiple DNS queries in a single transaction over UDP transport enables the use of novel discovery techniques without impact on performance. While the privacy requirements may be met through use of encryption alone, any encoding that does not provide authentication of requests allows a service to be used as an attack vector in a denial of service attack on third parties. The Query Protocol Binding wraps the [RFC1035] message structure rather than eliminating parts that are redundant. For example, the Query Protocol Binding Transaction ID which has a minimum length of 128 bits supplements rather than replaces the DNS message transaction ID of 16 bytes. Hallam-Baker May 11, 2015 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Private DNS November 2014 2.2.1. Message Binding. To ensure access to the DNS service in any network circumstance where the protocol is intentionally blocked, two message transports are specified: UDP transport The prefered transport providing low latency service. HTTP Web Service In a typical network environment where a MTU of at least 1280 bytes is supported, the UDP transport supports DNS request messages of at least 1100 bytes and responses of at least 18000 bytes. Both transport bindings are specified in [I-D.hallambaker-wsconnect]. 2.2.2. Query Protocol Example Having established a connection to a Private-DNS service, the client from the first example performs a DNS query: www.example.com ? A 2.2.2.1. Key Derrivation [TBS at the moment there is no key derrivation function specified and the same key is used for encryption and authentication. This is a weak approach architecturally as a compromise of one algorithm puts the other at risk and should be fixed. Rather than use k as the key we should use MAC ("encrypt", k) and MAC ("decrypt", k) or something similar. However doing that right requires consulting past RFCs to find the right derrivation function.] Ticket value is: 4e 96 ae d4 ce 87 b8 38 f0 bb 3c 0b 87 0f 52 58 f8 bd 43 1d 73 7e 47 10 99 a8 f4 61 19 ca 57 e2 42 46 fd a4 95 dd 3a cf 2a 1b a6 db ee 03 61 7a 24 65 e4 33 42 46 9d 25 56 38 fb 67 db 7e 70 9c 89 63 b2 0e e9 66 0d b9 bc f8 a8 7e 03 ee 64 d6 Hallam-Baker May 11, 2015 [Page 10] Internet-Draft Private DNS November 2014 Master key is: a8 9a b5 d4 47 2a ae f5 9e d9 67 f2 0c 2d 85 2e Authentication key is TBS (Master) a8 9a b5 d4 47 2a ae f5 9e d9 67 f2 0c 2d 85 2e Encryption key is TBS (Master) a8 9a b5 d4 47 2a ae f5 9e d9 67 f2 0c 2d 85 2e 2.2.2.2.

Authentication Conformance A Private-DNS server MUST authenticate queries. In the case that the UDP binding is used, a server MUST NOT make any response should the verification step fail. This requirement ensures that a Private-DNS service cannot be used to attack other systems in a Denial of Service attack through use of packets with forged source addresses. Hallam-Baker May 11, 2015 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Private DNS November 2014 A service MAY provide an error response in the case that a request using the Web Service binding fails as the TCP/IP connection startup provides an adequate protection against source address forgery. 2.2.4. Handling Multiple Requests A Private-DNS service MUST accept requests that contain multiple requests. Where multiple requests are presented, each request in the transaction MUST have a unique DNS Transaction ID. A Private-DNS service MAY limit the number of responses provided. Responses to requests MAY be returned in any order. 3. Service Connection and Key Exchangee The Service Connection is established using [I-D.hallambaker- wsconnect]. The service identifiers for PRIVATE-DNS are as follows: Service Identifier PRIVATE-DNS Two host connection bindings are defined: UDP Binding The UDP binding described in [!I-D.hallambaker-wsconnect] is the preferred host binding. The UDP binding allows most queries to be completed in a single round trip with no mandatory delays. HTTP Binding A HTTP binding is specified for use as a last resort in situations where the UDP transport is not available. 3.1. UDP Binding The prefered host connection type is to use the message encapsulation format Protocol DNS Presentation PRIVATE-DNS-P Transport UDP Note that the omission of version numbers in the on-the-wire data structures is intentional. Use of the message encapsulation requires that the parties have previously established a host connection comprising the network and security parameters required to Hallam-Baker May 11, 2015 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Private DNS November 2014 communicate. The choice of message encapsulation including the protocol version is defined in the host connection. In the DNS protocol requests and responses use the same message structure. The encapsulation uses different structures for requests and responses but the payload of each structure is a sequence of [RFC1035] messages. 3.2. HTTP Binding Under certain network conditions attempts to reach the PRIVATE-DNS service may fail due to constraints imposed by firewalls or through attempted censorship. Under these conditions, HTTP [RFC2616] MAY be used as an alternative transport as follows: Protocol DNS Presentation POST Content-Type application/private-dns-p Transport HTTP A PRIVATE-DNS service offered in this fashion MUST support HTTP/1.1 or higher. The transaction is performed as a POST request with the MIME content type application/private-dns-p.p. 4.
