Introduction There are certain transactions initiated by a DNS-operator, which require an authenticated exchange of information between DNS- Ribbers, et al. Expires November 1, 2015 [Page 2] Internet-Draft EPP Keyrelay April 2015 operators. Often, there is no direct channel between these parties or it is non-scalable and insecure. One such transaction is the exchange of DNSSEC key material when changing the DNS operator for DNSSEC signed zones. We suggest that DNS-operators use the administrative EPP channel to bootstrap the delegation by relaying DNSSEC key material for the zone. In this document we define an EPP extension to support and automate this transaction. 1.1. Conventions Used in This Document 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 BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. XML is case sensitive. Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the character case presented in order to develop a conforming implementation. In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client, and "S:" represents lines returned by a protocol server. Indentation and white space in examples is provided only to illustrate element relationships and is not a mandatory feature of this protocol. 1.2. Secure Transfer of DNSSEC Key Material Exchanging DNSSEC key material in preparation of a domain name transfer is one of the phases in the lifecycle of a domain name [I-D.koch-dnsop-dnssec-operator-change]. DNS-operators need to exchange DNSSEC key material before the registration data can be changed to keep the DNSSEC chain of trust intact. This exchange is normally initiated through the gaining registrar. The gaining and losing DNS operators could talk directly to each other (the ~ arrow) to exchange the DNSKEY, but often there is no trusted path between the two. As both can securely interact with the registry over the administrative channel through the registrar, the registry can act as a relay for the key material exchange. Ribbers, et al. Expires November 1, 2015 [Page 3] Internet-Draft EPP Keyrelay April 2015 +--------------------+ DNSKEY +---------------------+ |gaining DNS operator| ~~~~~~~~> | losing DNS operator | +--------------------+ +---------------------+ | ^ | | V | +--------------------+ +---------------------+ | gaining registrar | | registrar of record | +--------------------+ +---------------------+ | ^ EPP keyrelay | | EPP poll V | +-----------------------------+ | registry | +-----------------------------+ Figure 1: Transfer of DNSSEC key material. There is no clear distinction in the EPP protocol between Registrars and DNS-operators. Therefore the term EPP client will be used for the interaction with the registry for relaying DNSSEC key material. 2. Object Attributes 2.1. DNSSEC Key Material The DNSSEC key material is represented in EPP by a element. It is up to the gaining EPP client to select the keys that are needed to complete the intended transaction successfully. It is up to the receiving EPP client to validate the correctness of the key material. The server is merely used as a relay channel. 2.1.1. element The contains the following elements: o One or more REQUIRED elements that contains the DNSSEC key material as described in [RFC5910], Section 4.2. o A REQUIRED element that contains authorization information associated with the domain object ([RFC5731], Section 3.2.1). o An OPTIONAL element that describes the expected lifetime of the relayed key(s) in the zone. The losing DNS operator can use this as an indication when to safely remove the inserted key Ribbers, et al. Expires November 1, 2015 [Page 4] Internet-Draft EPP Keyrelay April 2015 material from the zone. This may be because the transaction that needed the insertion is either completed or has been abandoned if not completed before this expire time. The element MUST contain one of the following child elements: * : The policy is valid from the current date and time until it expires on the specified date and time. * : The policy is valid from the current date and time until the end of the specified duration. 3. EPP Command Mapping A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found in the EPP core protocol specification [RFC5730]. The command mapping described here is specifically for use in this key relay mapping. 3.1. EPP Query Commands EPP provides three commands to retrieve object information: to determine if an object is known to the server, to retrieve detailed information associated with an object, and to retrieve object transfer status information. 3.1.1. EPP Command Check semantics do not apply to key relay objects, so there is no mapping defined for the EPP command and the EPP response. 3.1.2. EPP Command Info command semantics do not apply to the key relay objects, so there is no mapping defined for the EPP Command. The EPP response for key relay objects is used in the EPP poll response, as described in [RFC5730]. The key relay object created with the command, described in Section 3.2.1 is inserted into the receiving client's poll queue. The receiving client will receive the key relay object using the EPP command, as described in [RFC5730]. When a command has been processed successfully for a key relay poll message, the EPP element MUST contain a child element that identifies the keyrelay namespace. The element contains the following child elements: Ribbers, et al. Expires November 1, 2015 [Page 5] Internet-Draft EPP Keyrelay April 2015 o A REQUIRED element containing the domain name for which the DNSSEC key material is relayed. o A REQUIRED elements containing data to be relayed, as defined in Section 2.1 o An OPTIONAL element that contains the date and time of the submitted command. o An OPTIONAL element that contains the identifier of the client that requested the key relay. o An OPTIONAL element that contains the identifier of the client that SHOULD act upon the key relay.

EPP Command Transfer semantics do not apply to key relay objects, so there is no mapping defined for the EPP command. 3.2. EPP Transform Commands EPP provides five commands to transform objects: to create an instance of an object, to delete an instance of an object, to extend the validity period of an object, to manage object sponsorship changes, and to change information associated with an object. 3.2.1. EPP Command The EPP command provides a transform operation that allows a client to create a key relay object that includes the domain name and DNSSEC key material to be relayed. When the command is validated, the server MUST insert an EPP message, using the key relay info response (See Section 3.1.2), in the receiving client's poll queue that belongs to the registrar on record of the provided domain name. In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the command MUST contain a element that identifies the keyrelay namespace. The element contains the following child elements: o A REQUIRED element containing the domain name for which the DNSSEC key material is relayed. o A REQUIRED elements containing data to be relayed, as defined in Section 2.1 Example command: Ribbers, et al.

Formal Syntax Extensible Provisioning Protocol v1.0 protocol extension schema for relaying DNSSEC key material. 5. IANA Considerations Ribbers, et al. Expires November 1, 2015 [Page 11] Internet-Draft EPP Keyrelay April 2015 5.1. XML Namespace This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688]. The following URI assignment is requested of IANA: URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:keyrelay-1.0 Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this document. XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document. 5.2. EPP Extension Registry The EPP extension described in this document should be registered by the IANA in the EPP Extension Registry described in [RFC7451]. The details of the registration are as follows: Name of Extension: "Keyrelay Extension for the Extensible Provisioning Protocol" Document status: Standards Track Reference: (insert reference to RFC version of this document) Registrant Name and Email Address: IESG, iesg@ietf.org TLDs: Any IPR Disclosure: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2393/ Status: Active Notes: None 6. Security Considerations A server SHOULD NOT perform any transformation on data under server management when processing a command. Any EPP client can use this mechanism to put data on the message queue of another EPP client, allowing for the potential of a denial of service attack. However this can, and SHOULD be detected by the server. A server MAY set a server policy which limits or rejects a command if it detects the mechanism is being abused. Ribbers, et al. Expires November 1, 2015 [Page 12] Internet-Draft EPP Keyrelay April 2015 For the data a correct element SHOULD be used as an indication that putting the key material on the receiving EPP clients poll queue is authorized by the _registrant_ of that domain name. The authorization of EPP clients to perform DNS changes is not covered in this I-D as it depends on registry specific policy. 7. References 7.1.
