              DHCP Options for Homenet Naming Architecture
       draft-mglt-homenet-naming-architecture-dhc-options-02.txt

Abstract

   CPEs are usually constraint devices with reduced network and CPU
   capacities.  As such, a CPE hosting on the Internet the authoritative
   naming service for its home network may become vulnerable to resource
   exhaustion attacks.  One way to avoid exposing CPE is to outsource
   the authoritative service to a third party.  This third party can be
   the ISP or any other independent third party.

   Outsourcing the authoritative naming service to a third party
   requires setting up an architecture which may be unappropriated for
   most end users.  To leverage this issue, this document proposes DHCP
   Options so any agnostic CPE can automatically proceed to the
   appropriated configuration and outsource the authoritative naming
   service for the home network.  This document shows that in most
   cases, these DHCP Options make outsourcing to a third party (be it
   the ISP or any ISP independent service provider) transparent for the
   end user.

1.  Requirements notation

   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 [RFC2119].

2.  Terminology

   - Customer Premises Equipment:   (CPE) is the router providing
         connectivity to the home network.  It is configured and managed
         by the end user.  In this document, the CPE might also hosts
         services such as DHCPv6.  This device might be provided by the
         ISP.

   - Public Key:   designates a public Key generated by the CPE.  This
         key is used as an authentication credential for the CPE.

   - Registered Homenet Domain:   is the Domain Name associated to the
         home network.

   - DNS Homenet Zone:   is the DNS zone associated to the home network.
         This zone is set by the CPE and essentially contains the
         bindings between names and IP addresses of the nodes of the
         home network.  In this document, the CPE does neither perform
         any DNSSEC management operations such as zone signing nor
         provide an authoritative service for the zone.  Both are
         delegated to the Public Authoritative Server.  The CPE
         synchronizes the DNS Homenet Zone with the Public Authoritative
         Server via a hidden master / slave architecture.  The Public
         Authoritative Server might use specific servers for the
         synchronization of the DNS Homenet Zone: the Public
         Authoritative Name Server Set.

   - DNS Homenet Zone Template:   The template used as a basis to
         generate the DNS Homenet Zone.

   - DNS Template Server:   The DNS server that hosts the DNS Homenet
         Zone Template.

   - DNS Homenet Reverse Zone:   The reverse zone file associated to the
         DNS Homenet Zone.

   - Public Authoritative Master(s):   are the visible name server
         hosting the DNS Homenet Zone.  End users' resolutions for the
         Homenet Domain are sent to this server, and this server is a
         master for the zone.

   - Public Authoritative Name Server Set:   is the server the CPE
         synchronizes the DNS Homenet Zone.  It is configured as a slave
         and the CPE acts as master.  The CPE sends information so the
         DNSSEC zone can be set and served.

   - Reverse Public Authoritative Master(s):   are the visible name
         server hosting the DNS Homenet Reverse Zone.  End users'
         resolutions for the Homenet Domain are sent to this server, and
         this server is a master for the zone.

   - Reverse Public Authoritative Name Server Set:   is the server the
         CPE synchronizes the DNS Homenet Reverse Zone.  It is
         configured as a slave and the CPE acts as master.  The CPE
         sends information so the DNSSEC zone can be set and served.

3.  Introduction

   CPEs are usually constraint devices with reduced network and CPU
   capacities.  As such, a CPE hosting on the Internet the authoritative
   naming service for its home network may become vulnerable to resource
   exhaustion attacks.  One way to avoid exposing CPE is to outsource
   the authoritative service to a third party.  This third party can be
   the ISP or any other independent third party.

   Outsourcing the authoritative naming service to a third party
   requires setting up an architecture which may be unappropriated for
   most end users.  To leverage this issue, this document proposes DHCP
   Options so any agnostic CPE can automatically proceed to the
   appropriated configuration and outsource the authoritative naming
   service for the home network.  This document shows that in most
   cases, these DHCP Options make outsourcing to a third party (be it
   the ISP or any ISP independent service provider) transparent for the
   end user.

   When the CPE is plugged, the DHCP Options described in the document
   enable the CPE:

   - 1.  To build the DNS Homenet Zone: Building the DNS Homenet Zone
         requires filling the zone with appropriated bindings likes name
         / IP addresses of the different devices in the home networks.
         Such information can be provided for example by the DHCP Server
         hosted on the CPE.  On the other hand, it also requires
         configuration parameters like the name of the Registered Domain
         Name associated to the home network or the Public Authoritative
         Master(s) the DNS Homenet Zone is outsourced to.  These
         configuration parameters are stored in the DNS Homenet Zone
         Template.  This document describes the DHCP Zone Template
         Option.  This option carries a DNS Homenet Zone Template FQDN.
         In order to retrieve the DNS Homenet Zone Template, the CPE
         sends a query of type AXFR [RFC1034] [RFC5936]for the DNS
         Homenet Zone Template FQDN.

   - 2.  To upload the DNS(SEC) Homenet Zone to the appropriated server:
         This server is designated as the Public Authoritative Name
         Server Set. It is in charge of publishing the DNS(SEC) Homenet
         Zone on the Public Authoritative Master(s).  This document
         describes the DHCP Public Authoritative Name Server Set Option
         that provides the FQDN of the appropriated server.  Note that,
         in the document we do not consider whether the DNS(SEC) Homenet
         Zone is signed or not and if signed who signs it.  Such
         questions are out of the scope of the current document.

   - 3.  To upload the DNS Homenet Reverse Zone to the appropriated
         server: This server is designated as the Reverse Public
         Authoritative Name Server Set. It is in charge of publishing
         the DNS Homenet Reverse Zone on the Reverse Public
         Authoritative Master(s).  This document describes the DHCP
         Reverse Public Authoritative Name Server Set Option that
         provides the FQDN of the appropriated server.  Similarly to
         item 2., we do not consider in this document if the DNS Homenet
         Reverse Zone is signed or not, and if signed who signs it.

   - 4.  To provide authentication credential (a public key) to the DHCP
         Server: Information stored in the DNS Homenet Zone Template,
         the DNS(SEC) Homenet Zone and DNS Homenet Reverse Zone belongs
         to the CPE, and only the CPE should be able to update or upload
         these zones.  To authenticate the CPE, this document defines
         the DHCP Public Key Option.  This option is sent by the CPE to
         the DHCP Server and provides the Public Key the CPE uses to
         authenticate itself.  The DHCP Server is then responsible to
         provide the Public Key to the various DNS servers.

Internet-DraftDHCP Options for Homenet Naming Architecture     July 2014


   As a result, the DHCP Options described in this document enable an
   agnostic CPE to outsource its naming infrastructure without any
   configuration from the end user.  The main reason no configuration is
   required by the end user is that there are privilege links first
   between the CPE and the DHCP Server and then between the DHCP Server
   and the various DNS servers (DNS Homenet Zone Server, the Reverse
   Public Authoritative Name Server Set, Public Authoritative Name
   Server Set).  This enables the CPE to send its authentication
   credentials (a Public Key) to the DHCP Server that in turn forward it
   to the various DNS servers.  With the authentication credential on
   the DNS servers set, the CPE is able to update the various zones in a
   secure way.

   If the DHCP Server cannot provide the public key to one of these
   servers (most likely the Public Authoritative Name Server Set) and
   the CPE needs to interact with the server, then, the end user is
   expected to provide it manually or using other mechanisms.  Such
   mechanisms are outside the scope of this document.  In that case, the
   authentication credentials need to be provided every time the key is
   modified.  Appendix A provides more details on how different
   scenarios impact the end users.

4.  Protocol Overview

   This section illustrates how a CPE configures its naming
   infrastructure to outsource its authoritative naming service.  All
   configurations and settings are performed using DHCP Options.  In
   this section, for the sake of simplicity, we consider that the DHCP
   Server is able to communicate to the various DNS servers and provide
   them them the public key associated to the CPE.  Once each server got
   the credentials, the CPE can proceed to updates in a authenticated
   and secure way.

   This scenario has been chosen as it is believed to be the most
   popular scenario.  This document does not ignore that scenarios where
   the DHCP Server does not have privilege relations with the Public
   Authoritative Name Server Set must be considered.  These cases are
   discussed latter in Appendix A.  Such scenario does not necessarily
   require configuration for the end user and can also be Zero Config.

   The scenario is represented in Figure 1.

   - 1:  The CPE provides its Public Key to the DHCP Server using a DHCP
         Public Key Option (OPTION_PUBLIC_KEY) and sends a DHCP Option
         Request Option (ORO) for the DHCP Zone Template Option
         (OPTION_DNS_ZONE_TEMPLATE), the DHCP Public Authoritative Name
         Server Set Option (OPTION_NAME_SERVER_SET) and the DHCP Reverse

         Public Authoritative Name Server Set Option
         (OPTION_REVERSE_NAME_SERVER_SET).

   - 2:  The DHCP Server makes the Public Key available to the DNS
         servers, so the CPE can secure its DNS transactions.  Note that
         the Public Key alone is not sufficient to perform the
         authentication and the key should be, for example, associated
         with an identifier, or the concerned domain name.  How the
         binding is performed is out of scope of the document.  It can
         be a centralized database or various bindings may be sent to
         the different servers.  Figure 1 represents the specific case
         were the DHCP Server forwards the set (Public Key, Zone
         Template FQDN) to the DNS Template Server, the set (Public Key,
         IPv6 subnet) to the Reverse Public Authoritative Name Server
         Set and the set (Public Key, Registered Homenet Domain) to the
         Public Authoritative Name Server Set.

   - 3.:   The DHCP Server responds to the CPE with the requested DHCP
         Options, i.e. the DHCP Public Key Option (OPTION_PUBLIC_KEY),
         DHCP Zone Template Option OPTION_DNS_ZONE_TEMPLATE, DHCP Public
         Authoritative Name Server Set Option (OPTION_NAME_SERVER_SET),
         DHCP Reverse Public Authoritative Name Server Set Option
         (OPTION_REVERSE_NAME_SERVER_SET).

   - 4.:   Upon receiving the DHCP Zone Template Option
         (OPTION_DNS_ZONE_TEMPLATE), the CPE performs an AXFR DNS query
         for the Zone Template FQDN.  The exchange is secured according
         to the security protocols defined in the Security field of the
         DHCP option.  Once the CPE has retrieved the DNS Zone Template,
         the CPE can build the DNS Homenet Zone and the DNS Homenet
         Reverse Zone.  Eventually the CPE signs these zones.

   - 5.:   Once the DNS(SEC) Homenet Reverse Zone has been set, the CPE
         uploads the zone to the Reverse Public Authoritative Name
         Server Set. The DHCP Reverse Public Authoritative Name Server
         Set Option (OPTION_REVERSE_NAME_SERVER_SET) provides the
         Reverse Public Authoritative Name Server Set FQDN as well as
         the upload method, and the security protocol to secure the
         upload.

   - 6.:   Once the DNS(SEC) Homenet Zone has been set, the CPE uploads
         the zone to the Public Authoritative Name Server Set. The DHCP
         Public Authoritative Name Server Set Option
         (OPTION_NAME_SERVER_SET) provides the Public Authoritative Name
         Server Set FQDN as well as the upload method and the security
         protocol to secure the upload.

                        Figure 1: Protocol Overview

5.  Securing the exchanges

   Multiple protocols like IPsec [RFC4301] or TLS / DTLS [RFC5246] /
   [RFC6347] may be used to secure DNS transactions between the CPE and
   the DNS servers.  This document restricts the scope of security
   protocols to those that have been designed specifically for DNS.
   This includes DNSSEC [RFC4033], [RFC4034], [RFC4035] that
   authenticates and provides integrity protection of DNS data, TSIG
   [RFC2845], [RFC2930] that use a shared secret to secure a transaction
   between two end points and SIG(0) [RFC2931] authenticates the DNS
   packet exchanged.

   The key issue with TSIG is that a shared secret must be negotiated
   between the CPE and the server.  On the other end, TSIG performs
   symmetric cryptography which is light in comparison with asymmetric
   cryptography used by SIG(0).  As a result, over large zone transfer,
   TSIG may be preferred to SIG(0).

   This document does not provides means to distribute shared secret for
   example using a specific DHCP Option.  The only assumption made is
   that the CPE generates or is assigned a public key.

   As a result, when the document specifies the transaction is secured
   with TSIG, it means that either the CPE and the DNS Server have been

   manually configured with a shared secret, or the shared secret has
   been negotiated using TKEY [RFC2930], and the TKEY exchanged are
   secured with SIG(0).

   Exchange with the DNS Template Server to retrieve the DNS Homenet
   Zone Template may be protected by SIG(0), TSIG or DNSSEC.  When
   DNSSEC is used, it means the DNS Template Server only provides
   integrity protection, and does not necessarily prevents someone else
   to query the DNS Homenet Zone Template.  In addition, DNSSEC is only
   a way to protect the communication of AXFR queries, in other words,
   DNSSEC cannot be used to secure updates.  If DNSSEC is used to
   provide integrity protection for the AXFR response, the CPE should
   proceed to the DNSSEC signature checks.  If signature check fails, it
   MUST reject the response.  If the signature check succeeds, the CPE
   removes all DNSSEC related RRsets (DNSKEY, RRSIG, NSEC* ...) before
   building the DNS Homenet Zone.  In fact, these DNSSEC related fields
   as associated to the DNS Homenet Zone Template and not the DNS
   Homenet Zone.

   Any update exchange should use SIG(0) or TSIG to authenticate the
   exchange.

6.  DNS Zones Update Mechanisms

6.1.  Data subjected to update

   The CPE is likely to update various DNS contents:

   - DNS Homenet Zone Template:   may be updated by the CPE if the
         configuration of the zone may be changed.  This can include
         additional Public Authoritative Master(s), a different
         Registered Homenet Domain as the one initially proposed, or a
         redirection to another domain.

   - DNS Homenet Reverse Zone:   may be updated every time a new device
         is connected or dis-connected.

   - DNS Homenet Zone:   may be updated every time a new device is
         connected, dis-connected.

6.2.  Master / Slave Synchronization versus DNS Update

   As updates only concern DNS zones, this document only considers DNS
   update mechanisms such as DNS update [RFC2136]  [RFC3007] or a master
   / slave synchronization.






Migault (Ed), et al.     Expires January 3, 2015                [Page 9]

Internet-DraftDHCP Options for Homenet Naming Architecture     July 2014


   The DNS Homenet Zone Template can only be updated with DNS update.
   The reason is that the DNS Homenet Zone Template contains static
   configuration data that is not expected to evolve over time.

   The DNS Homenet Reverse Zone and the DNS Homenet Zone can be updated
   either with DNS update or using a master / slave synchronization.  As
   these zones may be large, with frequent updates, we recommend to use
   the master / slave architecture as described in
   [I-D.mglt-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation].  The master / slave
   mechanism is preferred as it better scales and avoids DoS attacks:
   First the master notifies the slave the zone must be updated, and
   leaves the slave to proceed to the update when possible.  Then, the
   NOTIFY message sent by the master is a small packet that is less
   likely to load the slave.  At last, the AXFR query performed by the
   slave is a small packet sent over TCP (section 4.2 [RFC5936]) which
   makes unlikely the slave to perform reflection attacks with a forged
   NOTIFY.  On the other hand, DNS updates can use UDP, packets require
   more processing then a NOTIFY, and they do not provide the server the
   opportunity to post-pone the update.

6.3.  Setting Master / Slave Synchronization

   The master / slave architecture is described in
   [I-D.mglt-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation].  The CPE is
   configured as a master whereas the DNS Server is configured as a
   slave.  The DNS Server represents the Public Authoritative Name
   Server Set or the Reverse Public Authoritative Name Server Set.

   When the CPE is plugged its IP address may be unknown to the slave.
   The section details how the CPE or master communicate the necessary
   information to set up the slave.

   In order to set the master / slave configuration, both master and
   slaves must agree on 1) the zone to be synchronized, 2) the IP
   address used by both master and slave.  In this document we assume
   that synchronization is performed on both side on port 53.

   [QUESTION Do we have to consider different port of port 53 is fine.
   I guess it is fine.]

6.4.  Master / Slave Synchronization: CPE / Public Authoritative Name
      Server Set

   The CPE knows the zone to be synchronized by reading the Registered
   Homenet Domain in the DNS Homenet Zone Template provided by the DHCP
   Zone Template Option (OPTION_DNS_ZONE_TEMPLATE).  The IP address of
   the slave is provided by the DHCP Public Authoritative Name Server
   Set Option (OPTION_NAME_SERVER_SET).



Migault (Ed), et al.     Expires January 3, 2015               [Page 10]

Internet-DraftDHCP Options for Homenet Naming Architecture     July 2014


   The Public Authoritative Name Server Set has been configured with the
   Registered Homenet Domain and the Public Key that identifies the CPE.
   The only thing missing is the IP address of the CPE.  This IP address
   is provided by the CPE by sending a NOTIFY [RFC1996].

   When the CPE has built its DNS Homenet Zone, it sends a NOTIFY
   message to the Public Authoritative Name Server Sets.  Upon receiving
   the NOTIFY message, the slave reads the Registered Homenet Domain and
   checks the NOTIFY is sent by the authorized master.  This can be done
   using the shared secret (TSIG) or the public key (SIG(0)).  Once the
   NOTIFY has been authenticated, the Public Authoritative Name Server
   Sets might consider the source IP address of the NOTIFY query to
   configure the masters attributes.

6.5.  Master / Slave Synchronization: CPE / Reverse Public Authoritative
      Name Server Set

   The CPE knows the zone to be synchronized by looking at its assigned
   prefix.  The IP address of the slave is provided by the DHCP Reverse
   Public Authoritative Name Server Set Option
   (OPTION_REVERSE_NAME_SERVER_SET).

   Configuration of the slave is performed as illustrated in
   Section 6.4.

7.  DNS Zone Update Data

7.1.  DNS Homenet Zone Template

   The DNS Homenet Zone Template contains at least the related fields of
   the Public Authoritative Master(s) as well as the Homenet Registered
   Domain, that is SOA, and NS fields.  This template might be generated
   automatically by the owner of the DHCP Server.  For example, an ISP
   might provide a default Homenet Registered Domain as well as default
   Public Authoritative Master(s).  This default settings should provide
   the CPE the necessary pieces of information to set the homenet naming
   architecture.

   If the DNS Homenet Zone Template is not subject to modifications or
   updates, the owner of the template might only use DNSSEC to enable
   integrity check.

   The DNS Homenet Zone Template might be subject to modification by the
   CPE.  The advantage of using the standard DNS zone format is that
   standard DNS update mechanism can be used to perform updates.  These
   updates might be accepted or rejected by the owner of the DNS Homenet
   Zone Template.  Policies that defines what is accepted or rejected is
   out of scope of this document.  However, in this document we assume



Migault (Ed), et al.     Expires January 3, 2015               [Page 11]

Internet-DraftDHCP Options for Homenet Naming Architecture     July 2014


   the Registered Homenet Domain is used as an index by the Public
   Authoritative Name Server Set, and SIG(0), TSIG are used to
   authenticate the CPE.  As a result, the Registered Homenet Domain
   should not be modified unless the Public Authoritative Name Server
   Set can handle with it.

7.2.  DNS Homenet Zone

   The DNS Homenet Zone might be generated from the DNS Homenet Zone
   Template.  How the DNS Homenet Zone is generated is out of scope of
   this document.  In some cases, the DNS Homenet Zone might be the
   exact copy of the DNS Homenet Zone Template.  In other cases, it
   might be generated from the DNS Homenet Zone Template with additional
   RRsets.  In some other cases, the DNS Homenet Zone might be generated
   without considering the DNS Homenet Zone Template, but only
   considering specific configuration rules.

   In the current document the CPE only sets a single zone that is
   associated with one single Homenet Registered Domain.  The domain
   might be assigned by the owner of the DNS Homenet Zone Template.
   This constrain does not prevent the CPE to use multiple domain names.
   How additional domains are considered is out of scope of this
   document.  One way to handle these additional zones is to configure
   static redirections to the DNS Homenet Zone using CNAME [RFC2181],
   [RFC1034], DNAME [RFC6672] or CNAME+DNAME
   [I-D.sury-dnsext-cname-dname].

8.  Payload Description

8.1.  Security Field

   The Security Field of the DHCP Option is represented in Figure 2.  It
   indicates the security mechanism supported by the DNS Server.  One of
   these mechanism MUST be chosen by the CPE in order to perform a
   transaction with the DNS server.  See Section 5 for more details.

   - DNSSEC (Bit 1):   indicates, when set to 1, that DNSSEC provides
         integrity protection.  This can only be used for read
         operations like retrieving the DNS Homenet Zone Template.

   - SIG(0) (Bit 2):   indicates, when set to 1, that transaction
         protected by SIG(0) are supported.

   - TSIG (Bit 3):   indicates, when set to 1, that transaction using
         TSIG is supported.  Note that if a shared secret has not been
         previously negotiated between the two party, it should be
         negotiated using TKEY.  The TKEY exchanges MUST be protected
         with SIG(0) even though SIG(0) is not supported.

   - Remaining Bits (Bit 4-15):   MUST be set to 0 by the DHCP Server
         and ignored by the DHCP Client.

   A Security field with all bits set to zero indicates the operation is
   not permitted.  The Security field may be set to zero when updates
   operations are not permitted for the DNS Homenet Template.  In any
   other case this is an error.

   - DNS Update (Bit 1):   indicates, when set to 1, that DNS Server
         supports data synchronization using DNS Updates.

   - Remaining Bits (Bit 2-7):   MUST be set to 0 by the DHCP Server and
         ignored by the DHCP Client.

9.  DHCP Behavior

9.1.  DHCPv6 Server Behavior

   The DHCP Server sends the DHCP Zone Template Option
   (OPTION_DNS_ZONE_TEMPLATE), DHCP Public Authoritative Name Server Set
   Option (OPTION_NAME_SERVER_SET), DHCP Reverse Public Authoritative
   Name Server Set Option (OPTION_REVERSE_NAME_SERVER_SET) upon request
   by the DHCP Client.

   The DHCP Server MAY receive a DHCP Public Key Option
   (OPTION_PUBLIC_KEY) from the CPE.  Upon receipt of this DHCP Option,
   the DHCP Sever is expect to communicate this credential to the
   available DNS Servers like the DNS Template Server, the Public
   Authoritative Name Server Set and the Reverse Public Authoritative
   Name Server Set.

9.2.  DHCPv6 Client Behavior

   The DHCP Client MAY send a DHCP Public Key Option (OPTION_PUBLIC_KEY)
   to the DHCP Server.  This Public Key authenticates the CPE.

   The DHCP Client sends a DHCP Option Request Option (ORO) with the
   necessary DHCP options.

   A CPE SHOULD only send the an ORO request for DHCP Options it needs
   or for information that needs to be up-to-date.

   Upon receiving a DHCP option described in this document, the CPE
   SHOULD retrieve or update DNS zones using the associated security and
   update protocols.

9.3.  DHCPv6 Relay Behavior

   DHCP Relay behavior are not modified by this document.

11.  Security Considerations

11.1.  DNSSEC is recommended to authenticate DNS hosted data

   It is recommended that the (Reverse) DNS Homenet Zone is signed with
   DNSSEC.  The zone may be signed by the CPE or by a third party.  We
   recommend the zone to be signed by the CPE, and that the signed zone
   is uploaded.

11.2.  Channel between the CPE and ISP DHCP Server MUST be secured

   The document considers that the channel between the CPE and the ISP
   DHCP Server is trusted.  More specifically, the CPE is authenticated
   and the exchanged messages are protected.  The current document does
   not specify how to secure the channel.  [RFC3315] proposes a DHCP
   authentication and message exchange protection, [RFC4301], [RFC5996]
   propose to secure the channel at the IP layer.

   In fact, the channel MUST be secured because the CPE provides
   authentication credentials.  Unsecured channel may result in CPE
   impersonation attacks.

11.3.  CPEs are sensitive to DoS

   CPE have not been designed for handling heavy load.  The CPE are
   exposed on the Internet, and their IP address is publicly published
   on the Internet via the DNS.  This makes the Home Network sensitive
   to Deny of Service Attacks.  The resulting outsourcing architecture
   is described in [I-D.mglt-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation].  This
   document shows how the outsourcing architecture can be automatically
   set.

12.  Acknowledgment

   We would like to thank Tomasz Mrugalski, Marcin Siodelski and Bernie
   Volz for their comments on the design of the DHCP Options.  We would
   also like to thank Mark Andrews, Andrew Sullivan and Lorenzo Colliti
   for their remarks on the architecture design.  The designed solution
   has been largely been inspired by Mark Andrews's document
   [I-D.andrews-dnsop-pd-reverse] as well as discussions with Mark.

Appendix A.  Scenarios and impact on the End User

   This section details various scenarios and discuss their impact on
   the end user.

A.1.  Base Scenario

   The base scenario is the one described in Section 4.  It is typically
   the one of an ISP that manages the DHCP Server, and all DNS servers.

   The end user subscribes to the ISP (foo), and at subscription time
   registers for example.foo as its Registered Homenet Domain
   example.foo.  Since the ISP knows the Registered Homenet Domain and
   the Public Authoritative Master(s) the ISP is able to build the DNS
   Homenet Zone Template.

   The ISP manages the DNS Template Server, so it is able to load the
   DNS Homenet Zone Template on the DNS Template Server.

Internet-DraftDHCP Options for Homenet Naming Architecture     July 2014


   When the CPE is plugged (at least the first time), it provides its
   Public Key to the DHCP Server.  In this scenario, the DHCP Server and
   the DNS Servers are managed by the ISP so the DHCP Server can provide
   authentication credentials of the CPE to enable secure authenticated
   transaction between the CPE and these DNS servers.  More
   specifically, credentials are provided to:

   -     Public Authoritative Name Server Set

   -     Reverse Public Authoritative Name Server Set

   -     DNS Template Server

   The CPE can update the zone using DNS update or a master / slave
   configuration in a secure way.

   The main advantage of this scenario is that the naming architecture
   is configured automatically and transparently for the end user.

   The drawbacks are that the end user uses a Registered Homenet Domain
   managed by the ISP and that it relies on the ISP naming
   infrastructure.

A.2.  Third Party Registered Homenet Domain

   This section considers the case when the end user wants its home
   network to use example.com as a Registered Homenet Domain instead of
   example.foo that has been assigned by the ISP.  We also suppose that
   example.com is not managed by the ISP.

   This can also be achieved without any configuration.  When the end
   user buys the domain name example.com, it may request to redirect the
   name example.com to example.foo using static redirection with CNAME
   [RFC2181], [RFC1034], DNAME [RFC6672] or CNAME+DNAME
   [I-D.sury-dnsext-cname-dname].

   This configuration is performed once when the domain name example.com
   is registered.  The only information the end user needs to know is
   the domain name assigned by the ISP.  Once this configuration is done
   no additional configuration is needed anymore.  More specifically,
   the CPE may be changed, the zone can be updated as in Appendix A.1
   without any additional configuration from the end user.

   The main advantage of this scenario is that the end user benefits
   from the Zero Configuration of the Base Scenario Appendix A.1.  Then,
   the end user is able to register for its home network an unlimited
   number of domain names provided by an unlimited number of different
   third party providers.

   The drawback of this scenario may be that the end user still rely on
   the ISP naming infrastructure.  Note that the only case this may be
   inconvenient is when the DNS Servers provided by the ISPs results in
   high latency.

A.3.  Third Party DNS Infrastructure

   This scenario considers that the end user uses example.com as a
   Registered Homenet Domain, and does not want to rely on the
   authoritative servers provided by the ISP.

   In this section we limit the outsourcing to the Public Authoritative
   Name Server Set and Public Authoritative Master(s) to a third party.
   All other DNS Servers DNS Template Server, Reverse Public
   Authoritative Master(s) and Reverse Public Authoritative Name Server
   Set remain managed by the ISP.  The reason we consider that Reverse
   Public Authoritative Masters(s) and Reverse Public Authoritative Name
   Server Set remains managed by the ISP are that the prefix is managed
   by the ISP, so outsourcing these resources requires some redirection
   agreement with the ISP.  More specifically the ISP will need to
   configure the redirection on one of its Reverse DNS Servers.  That
   said, outsourcing these resources is similar as outsourcing Public
   Authoritative Name Server Set and Public Authoritative Master(s) to a
   third party.  Similarly, the DNS Template Server can be easily
   outsourced as detailed in this section

   Outsourcing Public Authoritative Name Server Set and Public
   Authoritative Master(s) requires:

   - 1)  Updating the DNS Homenet Zone Template: this can be easily done
         as detailed in Section 6 as the DNS Template Server is still
         managed by the ISP.  Such modification can be performed once by
         any CPE.  Once this modification has been performed, the CPE
         can be changed, the Public Key of the CPE may be changed, this
         does not need to be done another time.  One can imagine a GUI
         on the CPE asking the end user to fill the field with
         Registered Homenet Domain, optionally Public Authoritative
         Master(s), with a button "Configure DNS Homenet Zone Template".

   - 2)  Updating the DHCP Server Information.  In fact the Reverse
         Public Authoritative Name Server Set returned by the ISP is
         modified.  One can imagine a GUI interface that enables the end
         user to modify its profile parameters.  Again, this
         configuration update is done once-for-ever.

   - 3)  Upload the authentication credential of the CPE, that is the
         Public Key of the CPE, to the third party.  Unless we use
         specific mechanisms, like communication between the DHCP Server

         and the third party, or a specific token that is plugged into
         the CPE, this operation is likely to be performed every time
         the CPE is changed, and every time the Public Key generated by
         the CPE is changed.

   The main advantage of this scenario is that the DNS infrastructure is
   completely outsourced to the third party.  Most likely the Public Key
   that authenticate the CPE need to be configured for every CPE.
   Configuration is expected to be CPE live-long.
