Mike,

A query to the root for .homenet results in a *signed* answer that .homenet does not exist. This should suffice for the purpose you have in mind.

Yup - that's my comment:

   The third way is to do no delegation from the root for .homenet and
   just ensure that that name never gets registered and published.



Ralph,

Re moving to the homenet list, I will try to send the same info there once I have time to sign up for that list.

Actually, I think Ray was probably more right on where this - specifically - should be discussed. Once done, then Homenet needs to consider what to do about the guidance.

I hope it was obvious that I was pretty confident that you actually had a reason. :)

The issue what what you are saying is that sometimes it is technically correct for a name to not be validatable. The reason we want an unsecured delegation for .homenet is that .homenet can't be validated using the root trust anchor, because the name is has no globally unique meaning. So the reason that you've given doesn't apply to this case, although I completely agree with your reason as it applies to the case of names that are globally unique.

I went back and forth on this three times in 3 minutes "Steve's right, no Ted's right, no, Steve's right" before settling on "I think Steve is mostly right, but there may be an alternative third approach".

Here's the reasoning: Either your home router understands .homenet or it doesn't. If it doesn't, then your homenet shouldn't be using .homenet and any .homenet lookups to the real world should fail. If it does, then it should trap .homenet queries and do with it what it will.

Doing it Steve's way removes one attack surface for non-compliant routers on home networks and for all the rest of the networks (e.g. feeding a user a URL with a .homenet name on a fake webpage).

However, I think doing it Steve's way requires a *real* TLD zone for .homenet, if for no other reason than to include NSEC and NSEC3 records indicating an empty domain.

The third way is to do no delegation from the root for .homenet and just ensure that that name never gets registered and published.

    The latter.  All DNS answers at all levels should be signed to
    assure the querier of the integrity of the answer.  This has
    been the goal and best practice for a very long time.  For
    example, it was the explicit objective of the quote substantial
    DNSSEC effort funded by the US Dept of Homeland Security
    starting in 2004.

    Within ICANN, in 2009 we made it a formal requirement of all new
    gTLDs must be signed.  The ccTLDs are not subject to ICANN rules
    but they have been gradually moving toward signed status.  Most
of the major ccTLDs are signed and many of the others are too. Detailed maps are created every week by ISOC.

    I will also try to contribute to the homenet mailing list.

        Hi all,

        DNSOP participants who are interested in the special use
        names problem might want to review
        draft-ietf-homenet-redact
        (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-homenet-redact/
        <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-homenet-redact/>)
        and draft-ietf-homenet-dot
        (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-homenet-dot/
        <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-homenet-dot/>)
        for the WGLC on them in the HOMENET wg.

        WGLC comments should go to the WG list, home...@ietf.org
        <mailto:home...@ietf.org>.

        If you do, it will also be helpful to look at RFC 7788,
        which specifies the Home Networking Control Protocol for
        homenets.

        The redact draft is intended to remove the inadvertent
        reservation of “.home” as the default namespace for
        homenets in RFC 7788.

        The homenet-dot draft is intended to provide a request
        under RFC 6761 for “.homenet” as a special use name to
        serve as a default namespace for homenets. It also asks
        IANA for an unsecured delegation in the root zone to avoid
        DNSSEC validation failures for local names under
        “.homenet”. The root zone request to IANA has caused some
        discussion within the WG, as there’s no precedent for such
        a request.

        Terry Manderson mentioned the homenet-dot draft briefly at
        the mic in Seoul.

        The WGLC ends this week.

        Whilst there was a very strong hum in favour of
        ".homenet" vs anything
        else during the meeting, and there's some discussion of
        that ongoing
        here on the list - I'd like us to please keep the
        discussion of the
        choice of domain separate from other substantive comment
        about the
        drafts' contents.

        thanks,
