But wasn't it exactly the idea with the 2019 DNS Flag Day campaign? 
  http://www.dnsflagday.net/2019/

I see Google's name there, so I would expect their commitment to refuse
to solve incorrect domains. They do a skinny favor to all the Internet
by returning to the workarounds, and blaming those who do well (as
Bind 9.18)

If you already have the two DS at your parent, the next step is
removing the old DS, then wait, then remove the old KSK (but
still have the old ZSK and old signatures), then wait, then
remove everything from the old algorithm.

For adding a new DS is the other way around. You first add the
new ZSK + signatures, then the KSK, then the DS at your parent.

Here's an step by step method, in spanish, but hopefully the
diagrams are self explanatory:

That TTL is inside the rdata for the RRSIG. It says "... NSEC3PARAM
13 2 *0* ...". That 0 is the "original TTL" for the record.

So currently there's an inconsistency between the 3600 declared
in the TTL of the rrset, and the "original TTL" in the RRSIG.

An architecture that can be useful is that of the "hidden primary",
widely used in certain places.

The idea is to have one (or several) primary servers that are the
origins of the zone and of changes, that are only to serve to the
secondaries, and are not public nor published in NS records; and all
those that are public (those that appear as NS) are secondary to these
primary ones.

That way you separate the functions. You can have the primary ones as
a backup of each other, and synchronize the zone with some mechanism
outside of DNS. And you can protect them to only answer queries and
AXFR from the secondaries (since they are not public). In the secondary
ones you can use "multi-master" (or maybe it is called "multi-primary
now") so that they use any of the hidden ones.

Re: Testing KASP, CDS, and .ch

2021-04-09 Thread Hugo Salgado
Switch has a website to test the CDS processing for .ch:
  https://www.nic.ch/security/cds/

for domainmail.ch it says "The CDS configuration of the domain name
domainmail.ch will not be processed.
[ ... ]
The DNS query returned: "Server failed to complete the DNS request".
"

You should check the requirements. You'd need to answer for three
consecutive days, be consistent in all NS IP addresses, etc.

Re: Should we remove the DLV code?

2019-05-21 Thread Hugo Salgado-Hernández
Last year I was involved in a project to allow the signing of
domains in the second level of a country, when the TLD has
signed yet. It's a reality in certain regions. I get it
that the idea is to put pressure on the TLD, but this
institution was the largest ISP in the country and considered
that it was better pressure to begin to sign and validate.
The best technology was DLV. We started doing some prototypes,
but finally (and perhaps because of these conversations) the
TLD began its DNSSEC deployment. The project is sleeping,
waiting for the TLD finally signing, or to be reactivate if
time passes.

One important thing is that the "islands of security" concept
may be necessary in different places (companies? communities?)
and the DLV technique is not limited to the root. For the same
reason I consider that Bind's support is vital.

On the other hand, could improve things if it were a module that
must be activated in compilation, for example? That would reduce
the risks in default Bind. And the participants of an eventual
DLV would have to consciously compile and activate it. Maybe
is it a good compromise?

Finally, if the plan is to deprecate DLV as a technique,
perhaps a better way is to move 4431 to historical, and then
remove it from the code.

 02-Apr-2015 04:27:10.393 xfer-in: transfer of './IN' from
 2001:67c:2e8:5::c100:c6#53: Transfer completed: 0 messages, 0 records, 0
 bytes, 62.999 secs (0 bytes/s
 ec)
 
 So BIND wasn't even able to connect to the master, but subsequently
 logged Transfer completed.
 
 Is there any logic to this that I'm missing?

I want to support (if that was Anand's original idea) a better log line
in this case. We host several thousand zones as secondary service, and
provide log access to customers. I estimate a couple of questions per
week in our helpdesk about people assuming that the transfers are
working, overlooking exactly that line.

Thanks,

Hugo

Re: DNSSEC key rollover problems

 First of all is it correct that the time stamps shown by dig for RRSIG
 records are in local time? Otherwise, if the time stamps show UTC, then
 the RRSIG for jaspain.net SOA for ZSK 42152 was generated at
 2011121023, one hour prior to that key’s activation.

The timestamps are always in UTC. The hour in advance is called the
inception time, and is a good practice to sign a record with an
inception time in the past. That way you allow it to be validated even
with resolvers with not a perfect clock synchronization.

 When I copied the key for root from
 http://www.isc.org/community/blog/201007/using-root-dnssec-key-bind-9-resolvers
 I ended up with spaces in the key. I assumed that they should not be there
 and removed them. I since noticed that the key in /etc/bind.keys supplied
 with the bind distribution has spaces in it. Should the spaces be there or
 does it not matter?

It doesn't matter. From RFC4034 (Resource Records for the DNS Security
Extensions), section 2.2 (The DNSKEY RR Presentation Format):

  The Public Key field MUST be represented as a Base64 encoding of the
  Public Key.  Whitespace is allowed within the Base64 text.  For a
  definition of Base64 encoding, see [RFC 3548].

Re: is it possible to dynamically update an RRSIG record?

 Looking at the code for libbind, specifically
 res_nmkupdate,
 there is no case statement for RRSIG records.
  
 In this case, I was trying to update the  TTL.
 Is that not allowed intentionally?

I think so. The TTL of a RRSIG RR *MUST* match the TTL value of the
RRset it covers.
