         TLS for DNS: Initiation and Performance Considerations
                draft-hzhwm-dprive-start-tls-for-dns-02

Abstract

   This document offers an approach to initiating TLS for DNS: use of a
   dedicated DNS-over-TLS port, and fallback to a mechanism for
   upgrading a DNS-over-TCP connection over the standard port (TCP/53)
   to a DNS-over-TLS connection.  Encryption provided by TLS eliminates
   opportunities for eavesdropping on DNS queries in the network, such
   as discussed in RFC 7258.  In addition it specifies two usage
   profiles for DNS-over-TLS.  Finally, it provides advice on
   performance considerations to minimize overheads from using TCP and
   TLS with DNS, pertaining to both approaches.

1.  Introduction

   Today, nearly all DNS queries ([RFC1034] and [RFC1035]) are sent
   unencrypted, which makes them vulnerable to eavesdropping by an
   attacker that has access to the network channel, reducing the privacy
   of the querier.  Recent news reports have elevated these concerns,
   and ongoing efforts are beginning to identify privacy concerns about
   DNS ([I-D.ietf-dprive-problem-statement]).

   Prior work has addressed some aspects of DNS security, but until
   recently there has been little work on privacy between a DNS client
   and server.  DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC, [RFC4033]) provide
   _response integrity_ by defining mechanisms to cryptographically sign
   zones, allowing end-users (or their first-hop resolver) to verify
   replies are correct.  By intention, DNSSEC does not protect request
   and response privacy.  Traditionally, either privacy was not
   considered a requirement for DNS traffic, or it was assumed that
   network traffic was sufficiently private, however these perceptions
   are evolving due to recent events [RFC7258].

   DNSCurve [draft-dempsky-dnscurve] defines a method to add
   confidentiality to the link between DNS clients and servers; however,
   it does so with a new cryptographic protocol and does not take
   advantage of an existing standard protocol such as TLS.
   ConfidentialDNS [draft-wijngaards-confidentialdns] and IPSECA
   [draft-osterweil-dane-ipsec] use opportunistic encryption to offer
   privacy for DNS queries and responses.  Finally, others have
   suggested DNS-over-TLS.  Unbound DNS software [unbound] includes a
   DNS-over-TLS implementation.  The present document goes beyond past
   DNS-over-TLS discussions by providing two modes of initiation for
   DNS-over-TLS: use of a well-known port, and use of a negotiation
   mechanism in an established connection.

   Protocol changes proposed here must consider potential interactions
   with middle boxes.  The port-based initiation of TLS is very

   straightforward, but might be blocked by firewalls or be unwelcome to
   some DNS client or server implementations.  If port-based initiation
   of TLS fails, the negotiation mechanism allows DNS clients and
   servers to upgrade an existing DNS-over-TCP connection to a DNS-over-
   TLS connection, analogous to upgrade mechanisms in other uses of TLS,
   such as STARTTLS [RFC2595] used in SMTP [RFC3207], IMAP [RFC3501] and
   POP [RFC1939], to name just a few of many.  Adding TLS to DNS-over-
   TCP avoids port blocking, but maybe interact poorly with middle boxes
   that inspect DNS traffic.  As is generally the case with TLS, both
   approaches are subject to downgrade attacks, as discussed in
   Section 2.2.

   The protocol described here works for any DNS client to server
   communication using DNS-over-TCP.  There can be different profiles
   providing different levels of privacy, as discussed in Section 3.
   The protocol may be used for any DNS communication both from stub to
   recursive, and from recursive to authoritative servers, but different
   protocols may be preferable for different environments.

   This document describes two profiles in Section 3 providing different
   levels of assurance of privacy: an opportunistic privacy profile and
   a pre-deployed profile.

1.1.  Reserved Words

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].


2.  Protocol Changes

   The only changes required for port-based DNS-over-TLS are those
   optimizing TCP and TLS performance discussed in the following.  The
   DNS protocol itself is unchanged.

   Clients and servers negotiate upgrade-based DNS-over-TLS by setting a
   bit in the Flags field of the EDNS0 [RFC6891] OPT meta-RR.  The "TLS
   OK" (TO) bit is defined as the second bit of the third and fourth
   bytes of the "extended RCODE and flags" portion of the EDNS0 OPT
   meta-RR, immediately adjacent to the "DNSSEC OK" (DO) bit [RFC4033]:

                     +0 (MSB)                +1 (LSB)
              +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
           0: |   EXTENDED-RCODE      |       VERSION         |
              +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
           2: |DO|TO|                  Z                      |

2.1.  Use by DNS Clients

   DNS clients first try port-based DNS-over-TLS.  If that connection
   fails, they try upgrade-based DNS-over-TLS.

2.1.1.  Port-Based DNS-over-TLS for Clients

   DNS clients SHOULD first try using port-based DNS-over-TLS by
   establishing the TCP connection to the dedicated port TBD (number to
   be defined in Section 5).  Clients MAY try STARTTLS upgrade before
   the dedicated port if there is information that this ordering is
   preferred.  It SHOULD be an implementation and/or local determination
   as to whether to attempt TLS via the dedicated port first and then
   fall back to STARTTLS use, or to choose some other order of attempts
   and fallbacks.

2.1.2.  Sending Queries for Upgrade-Based DNS-over-TLS

   Setting the TO bit in queries sent using UDP transport has no
   protocol meaning.  However, the client MAY set the TO bit when using
   UDP transport.  The server MUST ignore the TO bit when receiving UDP
   transport.

   DISCUSSION: community advice is sought on this.  The advantage of
   allowing a client to send UDP on TO is that servers can collect
   information on deployment (as happened with the DO bit).  The
   disadvantage is that a meaningless bit (TO over UDP) might cause
   confusion, and some middleboxes might not pass a UDP query with the
   TO bit set.

   DNS clients set the TO bit in the initial query sent to a server
   using TCP transport to signal their desire that the TCP connection be
   upgraded to TLS.  DNS clients SHOULD NOT set the TO bit on queries
   when using TLS transport because doing so has no meaning in this
   protocol.

   Since the motivation for upgrade-based DNS-over-TLS is to preserve
   privacy, DNS clients SHOULD use an initial (unprotected) query that
   reveals no private information in the initial TO=1 query to a server.
   To provide a standard "dummy" query, it is RECOMMENDED to send the
   initial query with RD=0, QNAME="STARTTLS", QCLASS=CH, and QTYPE=TXT
   ("STARTTLS/CH/TXT") analogous to administrative queries already in
   widespread use [RFC4892].  (For some profiles, the client MUST use a
   dummy query for the initial query.)

   After sending the initial TO=1 query using TCP transport, DNS clients
   MUST wait for the initial response before sending any subsequent
   queries over the same TCP connection.

2.1.3.  Receiving Responses for Upgrade-Based DNS-over-TLS

   A DNS client that receives a response using UDP transport that has
   the TO bit set handles that response as usual.  It MAY record the
   server's support for DNS-over-TLS and use that information as part of
   its server selection algorithm in the case where multiple servers are
   available to service a particular query.

   A DNS client that has sent the TO bit using TCP transport and
   receives a response to its initial query that has the TO bit set MUST
   immediately initiate a TLS handshake using the procedure described in
   [RFC5246].  (Note that this document does not yet deal with what
   happens when the TLS handshake does not succeed.)

   DISCUSSION: are there any cases in which a DNS client that sent TO on
   DNS-over-TCP and receives TO in the initial response from the server
   would not initiate the TLS handshake?  Is there any reason for this
   to be SHOULD rather than MUST?

   A DNS client that receives a response to its initial query using TCP
   transport that has the TO bit clear MUST not initiate a TLS handshake
   and SHOULD utilize the existing TCP connection for subsequent
   queries.  DNS clients SHOULD remember server IP addresses that don't
   support upgrade-based DNS-over-TLS, including TLS handshake failures,
   and not request DNS-over-TLS from them for reasonable period (such as
   one hour per server).

2.1.4.  Use by DNS Servers

   A DNS server that supports DNS-over-TLS SHOULD support port-based
   DNS-over-TLS, and SHOULD support upgrade-based DNS-over-TLS.

2.1.4.1.  Receiving Queries for Upgrade-Based DNS-over-TLS

   A DNS server receiving a query over UDP with the TO bit ignores that
   bit.  A DNS server receiving a query over an existing TLS connection
   with the TO bit ignores that bit.

   A DNS server receiving an initial query over TCP that has the TO bit
   set MAY inform the client it is willing to establish a TLS session,
   as described in the next section.

   A DNS server receiving subsequent queries over TCP MUST ignore the TO
   bit.  (A client wishing to start TLS after the initial query MUST
   open a new TCP connection to do so.)

Internet-Draft                 TLS for DNS                    April 2015


2.1.4.2.  Sending Responses

   A DNS server sending a response over UDP to a query that had an OPT
   meta-RR SHOULD set the TO bit to indicate its general support for
   DNS-over-TLS, as long as it is willing and able to support a TLS
   connection with the particular client.

   A DNS server receiving an initial query over TCP that has the TO bit
   set MAY set the TO bit in its response.  The server MUST then proceed
   with the TLS handshake protocol.

   A DNS server receiving a "dummy" STARTTLS/CH/TXT query over TCP MUST
   respond with RCODE=0 and a TXT RR in the Answer section.  Contents of
   the TXT RR are strictly informative (for humans) and MUST NOT be
   interpreted by the client software.  Recommended TXT RDATA values are
   "STARTTLS" or "NO_TLS".

2.1.5.  Established Sessions

   After TLS negotiation completes, the connection will be encrypted and
   is now protected from eavesdropping and normal DNS queries SHOULD
   take place, following DNS-over-TCP framing ([RFC1035], section
   4.2.2).

   It is expected that multiple DNS queries will be made over the same
   TLS connection instead of tearing down the TLS connection after each
   response.  A user of DNS-over-TLS SHOULD follow best practices for
   DNS-over-TCP, as described in [I-D.ietf-dnsop-5966bis].  (For DNS
   clients that use library functions such as "gethostbyname()", current
   clients may open and close UDP connections each DNS call.  We
   recommend they reuse a single TCP connection to the recursive
   resolver or use UDP to a caching resolver that uses a system-wide TCP
   connection to the recursive resolver.)

   Both clients and servers SHOULD follow existing DNS-over-TCP timeout
   rules, which are often implementation- and situation-dependent.  In
   the absence of any other advice, the RECOMMENDED timeout values are
   30 seconds for recursive name servers, 60 seconds for clients of
   recursive name servers, 10 seconds for authoritative name servers,
   and 20 seconds for clients of authoritative name servers.  Current
   work in this area may assist DNS-over-TLS clients and servers select
   useful timeout values [draft-wouters-edns-tcp-keepalive] [tdns].

   As with current DNS-over-TCP, DNS servers MAY close the connection at
   any time (e.g., due to resource constraints).  As with current DNS-
   over-TCP, clients MUST handle abrupt closes and be prepared to
   reestablish connections and/or retry queries.  DNS servers SHOULD use
   the TLS close-notify request to shift TCP TIME-WAIT state to the

   clients.  Additional requirements and guidance for optimizing DNS-
   over-TCP are provided by [RFC5966], [I-D.ietf-dnsop-5966bis].  As
   discussed in [I-D.ietf-dnsop-5966bis], TCP Fast Open [RFC7413] is of
   benefit.

   DNS servers SHOULD enable fast TLS session resumption [RFC5077] to
   avoid keeping per-client session state.

2.2.  Downgrade Attacks and Middleboxes

   Middleboxes [RFC3234] may be present in some networks and have been
   known to interfere with normal DNS resolution and create problems for
   DNS-over-TLS.  Remarkably, downgrade attacks can affect plaintext
   protocols that utilize "STARTTLS" signaling in a similar way.  A DNS
   client attempting upgrade-based DNS-over-TLS through a middlebox, or
   in the presence of a downgrade attack, could have one of the
   following outcomes.  (These outcomes are similar to those discussed
   in prior RFCs, such as [RFC3207].)

   o  The DNS client sends a TO=1 query and receives a TO=0 response.
      In this case there is no upgrade to TLS and DNS resolution occurs
      normally, without encryption.

   o  The DNS client sends a TO=1 query and receives a TO=1 response,
      but the middlebox does not understand the TLS negotiation and does
      not allow those packets to pass through.  Clients SHOULD retry DNS
      without TO set if negotiation fails, and then retry with TLS after
      a reasonable period (see Section 2.1.3).

   o  The DNS client sends a TO=1 query but receives no response at all.
      The middlebox might be silently dropping the query due to the
      presence of the TO bit, when it should, in fact, ignore and pass
      through unknown flag bits [RFC6891].  The client SHOULD fall back
      to normal (unencrypted) DNS for a reasonable period (as discussed
      in Section 2.1.3).

   In general, clients that attempt TLS and fail can either fall back on
   unencrypted DNS, or wait and retry later, depending on their privacy
   requirements.


3.  Usage Profiles

   This protocol provides flexibility to accommodate several different
   use cases.  Two usage profiles are defined here to identify specific
   design points in performance and privacy.  Other profiles are
   possible but are outside the scope of this document.

Internet-Draft                 TLS for DNS                    April 2015


3.1.  Opportunistic Privacy Profile

   For opportunistic privacy, analogous to SMTP opportunistic encryption
   [RFC7435] one desires privacy when possible, but does not require it.

   With opportunistic privacy, a client might acquire a recursive DNS
   resolver from an untrusted source (such as DHCP while roaming), it
   might or might not validate the TLS certificate, and it might not use
   a dummy value for the initial query.  These choices maximize
   availability and performance, but they are vulnerable to on-path
   attacks.

   Opportunistic privacy can be used by any current client, but it only
   provides privacy when there are no on-path attackers.

3.2.  Pre-Deployed Profile

   For pre-deployed privacy, the DNS client has one or more trusted
   recursive DNS providers.  This profile provides strong privacy
   guarantees to the user.

   With pre-deployed privacy, a client retains a copy of the TLS
   certificate and IP address of each provider.  The client will only
   use one of those DNS providers.  Because it has a pre-deployed TLS
   certificate, it may detect person-in-the-middle and downgrade
   attacks.

   With pre-deployed privacy, the DNS client MUST signal to the user
   when none of the designated DNS servers are available, and MUST NOT
   provide DNS service until one of the designated DNS servers becomes
   available.

   The designated DNS provider may be temporarily unavailable when
   configurating a network.  For example, for clients on networks that
   require authentication through web-based login, such authentication
   may require DNS interception and spoofing.  Techniques such as those
   used by DNSSEC-trigger MAY be used during network configuration, with
   the intent to transition to the designated DNS provider after
   authentication.  The user MUST be alerted that the DNS is not private
   during such bootstrap.

   Methods for pre-deployment of the designated DNS provider are outside
   the scope of this document.  In corporate settings, such information
   may be provided at system installation.  Use of multiple public DNS
   providers suggests that end users are able to configure DNS by hand.

4.  Performance Considerations

   DNS-over-TLS incurs additional latency at session startup.  It also
   requires additional state (memory) and increased processing (CPU).

   1.  Latency: Compared to UDP, DNS-over-TCP requires an additional
       round-trip-time (RTT) of latency to establish the connection.
       The TLS handshake adds another two RTTs of latency.  Clients and
       servers should support connection keepalive (reuse) and out-of-
       order processing to amortize connection setup costs.  Moreover,
       TLS connection resumption can further reduce the setup delay.

   2.  State: The use of connection-oriented TCP requires keeping
       additional state in both kernels and applications.  TLS has
       marginal increases in state over TCP alone.  The state
       requirements are of particular concerns on servers with many
       clients.  Smaller timeout values will reduce the number of
       concurrent connections, and servers can preemptively close
       connections when resources limits are exceeded.

   3.  Processing: Use of TLS encryption algorithms results in slightly
       higher CPU usage.  Servers can choose to refuse new DNS-over-TCP
       clients if processing limits are exceeded.

   4.  Number of connections: To minimize state on DNS servers and
       connection startup time, clients SHOULD minimize creation of new
       TCP connections.  Use of a local DNS forwarder allows a single
       active DNS-over-TLS connection allows a single active TCP
       connection for DNS per client computer.  Additional guidance can
       be found in [I-D.ietf-dnsop-5966bis].

   A full performance evaluation is outside the scope of this
   specification.  A more detailed analysis of the performance
   implications of DNS-over-TLS (and DNS-over-TCP) is discussed in a
   technical report [tdns] and [I-D.ietf-dnsop-5966bis].


5.  IANA Considerations

   This document defines a new bit ("TO") in the Flags field of the
   EDNS0 OPT meta-RR.  At the time of approval of this draft in the
   standards track, as per the IANA Considerations of RFC 6891, IANA is
   requested to reserve the second leftmost bit of the flags as the TO
   bit, immediately adjacent to the DNSSEC DO bit, as shown in
   Section 2.

   IANA is requested add the following value to the "Service Name and
   Transport Protocol Port Number Registry" registry.  That registry is

6.  Security Considerations

   The goal of this proposal is to address the security risks that arise
   because DNS queries may be eavesdropped upon, as described above.
   There are a number of residual risks that may impact this goal.

   1.  There are known attacks on TLS, such as person-in-the-middle and
       protocol downgrade.  These are general attacks on TLS and not
       specific to DNS-over-TLS; please refer to the TLS RFCs for
       discussion of these security issues.

   2.  Any protocol interactions prior to the TLS handshake are
       performed in the clear and can be modified by a man-in-the-middle
       attacker.  For this reason, clients MAY discard cached
       information about server capabilities advertised prior to the
       start of the TLS handshake.

   3.  As with other uses of STARTTLS-upgrade to TLS, the mechanism
       specified here is susceptible to downgrade attacks, where a
       person-in-the-middle prevents a successful TLS upgrade.  Keeping
       track of servers known to support TLS (i.e., "pinning") enables
       clients to detect downgrade attacks.  For servers with no
       connection history, clients may choose to refuse non-TLS DNS, or
       they may continue without TLS, depending on their privacy
       requirements.

   4.  This document does not propose new ideas for certificate
       authentication for TLS in the context of DNS.  Several external
       methods are possible, although each has weaknesses.  The current
       Certificate Authority infrastructure [RFC5280] is used by HTTP/
       TLS [RFC2818].  With many trusted CAs, this approach has
       recognized weaknesses [CA_Compromise].  Some work is underway to
       partially address these concerns (for example, with certificate
       pinning [certificate_pinning], but more work is needed.  DANE
       [RFC6698] provides mechanisms to root certificate trust with
       DNSSEC.  That use here must be carefully evaluated to address
       potential issues in trust recursion.  For stub-to-recursive

       resolver use, certificate authentication is sometimes either easy
       or nearly impossible.  If the recursive resolver is manually
       configured, its certificate can be authenticated when it is
       configured.  If the recursive resolver is automatically
       configured (such as with DHCP [RFC2131]), it could use DHCP
       authentication mechanisms [RFC3118]).

   Ongoing discussion and development of opportunistic TLS (connections
   without CA validation, [RFC7435]) may be relevant to DNS-over-TLS.
