DNSSEC Cryptographic Algorithm Recommendation Update Process
draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc8624-bis-13
Abstract
The DNSSEC protocol makes use of various cryptographic algorithms to
provide authentication of DNS data and proof of non-existence. nonexistence. To
ensure interoperability between DNS resolvers and DNS authoritative
servers, it is necessary to specify both a set of algorithm
implementation requirements and usage guidelines to ensure that there
is at least one algorithm that all implementations support. This
document replaces and obsoletes RFC8624 RFC 8624 and moves the canonical
source of algorithm implementation requirements and usage guidance
for DNSSEC from RFC8624 RFC 8624 to an the IANA registry. DNSSEC algorithm registries.
This is done both to allow the list of requirements to be more easily updated,
updated and to
allow the list to be more easily referenced. Future extensions Extensions to
this registry these registries can be made under new, incremental update
in future RFCs. This document also updates RFC 9157 and incorporates
the revised IANA DNSSEC considerations from RFC9157.
The that RFC.
This document does not change the recommendation status (MUST, MAY,
RECOMMENDED, etc.) of the algorithms listed in RFC8624; RFC 8624; that is the
work of future documents.

1. Introduction
DNS
"DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) (DNSSEC)" [RFC9364] is used to provide
authentication of DNS data. The DNSSEC signing algorithms are
defined by various RFCs, including [RFC4034], [RFC4509], [RFC5155],
[RFC5702], [RFC5933], [RFC6605], and [RFC8080].
To ensure interoperability, a set of "mandatory to implement" DNSKEY "mandatory-to-implement" DNS
Public Key (DNSKEY) algorithms are defined in [RFC8624]. To make the
current status of the algorithms more easily accessible and
understandable, and to make future changes to these recommendations
easier to publish, this document moves the canonical status of the
algorithms from [RFC8624] to the IANA DNSSEC algorithm registries.
Additionally, as advice to operators, it adds recommendations for
deploying and the usage of using these algorithms.
This is similar to the process used for the [TLS-ciphersuites]
registry, "TLS Cipher Suites"
registry [TLS-ciphersuites], where the canonical list of ciphersuites cipher
suites is in the IANA registry, and the RFCs reference the IANA registry.
1.1. Document Audience
The columns added to the IANA "DNS Security Algorithm Numbers"
[DNSKEY-IANA] and "DNSSEC Delegation Signer (DS) Resource Record (RR)
Type Digest "Digest Algorithms" [DS-IANA] registries target
DNSSEC operators and implementers.
Implementations need to meet both high security expectations as well as
provide interoperability between various implementations and with
different versions.
The field of cryptography evolves continuously. New, stronger
algorithms appear, and existing algorithms may be found to be less
secure than originally thought. Therefore, algorithm implementation
requirements and usage guidance need to be updated from time to time
in order to reflect the new reality, reality and to allow for a smooth
transition to more secure algorithms, algorithms as well as the deprecation of
algorithms deemed to no longer be secure.
Implementations need to be conservative in the selection of
algorithms they implement in order to minimize both code complexity
and the attack surface.
The perspective of implementers may differ from that of an operator
who wishes to deploy and configure DNSSEC with only the safest
algorithm. As such such, this document also adds new recommendations
about which algorithms should be deployed regardless of
implementation status. In general, it is expected that deployment of
aging algorithms should generally be reduced before implementations
stop supporting them.
1.2. Updating Algorithm Requirement Levels
By the time a DNSSEC cryptographic algorithm is made mandatory to
implement, it should already be available in most implementations.
This document defines an IANA registration modification to allow
future documents to specify the implementation recommendations for
each algorithm, as the recommendation status of each DNSSEC
cryptographic algorithm is expected to change over time. For
example, there is no guarantee that newly introduced algorithms will
become mandatory to implement in the future. Likewise, published
algorithms are continuously subjected to cryptographic attack and may
become too weak, or even be completely broken, and will require
deprecation in the future.
It is expected that the deprecation of an algorithm will be performed
gradually. This provides time for implementations to update their
implemented algorithms while remaining interoperable. Unless there
are strong security reasons, an algorithm is expected to be
downgraded from MUST to NOT RECOMMENDED or MAY, instead of directly
from MUST to MUST NOT. Similarly, an algorithm that has not been
mentioned as mandatory to implement is expected to be first
introduced as RECOMMENDED instead of a MUST.
Since the effect of using an unknown DNSKEY algorithm is that the
zone is treated as insecure, it is recommended that algorithms which that
have been downgraded to NOT RECOMMENDED or lower not be used by
authoritative nameservers and DNSSEC signers to create new DNSKEY's. DNSKEYs.
This ensures that the use of deprecated algorithms decreases over
time. Once an algorithm has reached a sufficiently low level of
deployment, it can be marked as MUST NOT, so that recursive resolvers
can remove support for validating it.
Validating recursive resolvers are encouraged to retain support for
all algorithms not marked as MUST NOT.
1.3. Requirements notation Notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
[RFC2119] considers the term SHOULD to be equivalent to RECOMMENDED,
and SHOULD NOT equivalent to NOT RECOMMENDED. This document has
chosen to use the terms RECOMMENDED and NOT RECOMMENDED, as this more
clearly expresses the recommendations to implementers.

2.2. Adding and Changing Values
The following note describing the procedures for adding and changing
values has been added to the "DNS Security Algorithm Numbers"
registry:
| Adding a new entry to the "DNS System Security Algorithm Numbers"
| registry with a recommended value of "MAY" in the "Use for DNSSEC
| Signing", "Use for DNSSEC Validation", "Implement for DNSSEC
| Signing", or "Implement for DNSSEC Validation" columns will be
| subject to the
"Specification Required" Specification Required policy as defined in
| [RFC8126] in order to promote continued evolution of DNSSEC
| algorithms and DNSSEC agility. New entries added through the "Specification Required"
| Specification Required process will have the value of "MAY" for
| all columns. (Ed note (RFC Editor -
please delete this before publication): As a reminder: the
"Specification Required" policy includes a requirement for a
designated expert to review the request.)
|
| Adding a new entry to, or changing an existing values value in, the "DNS
System
| Security Algorithm Numbers" registry for that has any value other than
| "MAY" in the "Use for DNSSEC Signing", "Use for DNSSEC
| Validation", "Implement for DNSSEC Signing", or "Implement for
| DNSSEC Validation" columns to any other value than
"MAY" requires a Standards Action.
|
| If an item is not marked as "RECOMMENDED", it does not necessarily
| mean that it is flawed; rather, it indicates that the item either
| has not been through the IETF consensus process, has limited
| applicability, or is intended only for specific use cases.
The following note has been added to the "Digest Algorithms"
registry:
| Adding a new entry to the "Digest Algorithms" registry with a
| recommended value of "MAY" in the "Use for DNSSEC Delegation",
| "Use for DNSSEC Validation", "Implement for DNSSEC Delegation", or
| "Implement for DNSSEC Validation" columns SHALL follow the
"Specification Required"
| Specification Required policy as defined in [RFC8126].
|
| Adding a new entry to, or changing an existing values value in, the "DNS
System Algorithm Numbers"
| "Digest Algorithms" registry for that has any value other than "MAY"
| in the "Use for DNSSEC Delegation", "Use for DNSSEC Validation",
| "Implement for DNSSEC Delegation", or "Implement for DNSSEC
| Validation" columns to any
other value than "MAY" requires a Standards Action.
|
| If an item is not marked as "RECOMMENDED", it does not necessarily
| mean that it is flawed; rather, it indicates that the item either
| has not been through the IETF consensus process, has limited
| applicability, or is intended only for specific use cases.
Only values of "MAY", "RECOMMENDED", "MUST NOT", and "NOT
RECOMMENDED" may be placed into the "Use for DNSSEC Signing" and "Use
for DNSSEC Validation" columns. Only values of "MAY", "RECOMMENDED",
"MUST", "MUST NOT", and "NOT RECOMMENDED" may be placed into the
"Implement for DNSSEC Signing" and "Implement for DNSSEC Validation"
columns. Note that a value of "MUST" is not an allowed value for the
two "Use for" columns.
The following sections state the initial values to be that have been
populated into these rows. columns. The values in the "Implement for" column values
columns are transcribed from [RFC8624]. The "Use for" columns are
set to the same values as those in the "Implement for" values columns since
the general interpretation to date indicates they have been treated
as values for both "implementation" "use" and "use". "implementation". Note that the value
in the "Use for" columns values use column is "RECOMMENDED" when the value in the
corresponding "Implement for" column is a "MUST" value. "MUST". We note that the
values for "Implement for" and "Use for" may diverge in the future as
implementations generally precede deployments.

Initial recommendation columns of values for the use and implementation
recommendations for recommendation columns
in the "DNS Security Algorithm Numbers" registry under the "Domain

5. Security Considerations
The security of cryptographic systems depends on both the strength of both
the cryptographic algorithms chosen and the strength of the keys used with those
algorithms. The security also depends on the engineering of the
protocol used by the system to ensure that there are no non-
cryptographic ways to bypass the security of the overall system.
This document concerns itself with the selection of cryptographic
algorithms for the use of DNSSEC, specifically with the selection of
"mandatory to implement"
"mandatory-to-implement" algorithms. The In this document, the
algorithms identified in
this document as "MUST" MUST or "RECOMMENDED" RECOMMENDED to implement are not
known to be broken at the current time, and cryptographic research so
far leads us to believe that they are likely to remain adequately
secure unless significant and unexpected discovery is made. However,
this isn't necessarily forever, and it is expected that future
documents will be issued from time to time to reflect the current
best practices in this area.
Retiring an algorithm too soon would result in a zone signed with the
retired algorithm being downgraded to the equivalent of an unsigned
zone. Therefore, algorithm deprecation must be done only after
careful consideration and ideally slowly when possible.
6. Operational Considerations
DNSKEY algorithm rollover in a live zone is a complex process. See
[RFC6781] and [RFC7583] for guidelines on how to perform algorithm
rollovers.
DS algorithm rollover in a live zone is also a complex process.
Upgrading an algorithm at the same time as rolling to the new Key
Signing Key (KSK) key will lead to DNSSEC validation failures, and
users MUST upgrade the DS algorithm first before rolling to a new
KSK.
7. IANA Considerations
The
IANA is requested to update has updated the "DNS Security Algorithm Numbers" [DNSKEY-IANA]
and "Digest Algorithms" [DS-IANA] registries according to the following sections.
