This document describes the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) to
provide privacy for DNS. Encryption provided by TLS eliminates
opportunities for eavesdropping and on-path tampering with DNS
queries in the network, such as discussed in RFC 7626. In addition,
this document specifies two usage profiles for DNS over TLS and
provides advice on performance considerations to minimize overhead
from using TCP and TLS with DNS.
This document focuses on securing stub-to-recursive traffic, as per
the charter of the DPRIVE Working Group. It does not prevent future
applications of the protocol to recursive-to-authoritative traffic.
This document is a product of the DNS PRIVate Exchange Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
