Abstract:
The first step of Transaction SIGnature (TSIG) (RFC 2845) is to
generate a shared secret and exchange it manually between a DNS
server and a host. This document, CGA-TSIG, proposes a possible way
to automate the now manual process for the authentication of a node
with a DNS server during the DNS Update process by using the same
parameters as are used in generating a secure address in IPv6
networks, i.e., Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA) (RFC
3972). CGA-TSIG facilitates this authentication process and reduces
the time needed for DNS Updates. The current signature generation
process and verification mechanism in TSIG are thus replaced with
CGA. This algorithm is added, as an extension, to TSIG to eliminate
the human intervention needed for generation and exchange of keys
between a DNS server and a host when SEcure Neighbor Discovery (SEND)
(RFC 3971) is used.
