Abstract:
The first step in the Transaction SIGnature (TSIG) (RFC 2845) process
is the generation of a shared secret to be used between a DNS server
and a host. The second step consists of modifying the DNS
configuration so that the DNS server will know what key to use with
which host, because this shared secret is only valid between a pair
of hosts. This document, CGA-TSIG, proposes a possible way to
eliminate the human intervention needed for the generation and
exchange of keys between a DNS server and a host when SEcure Neighbor
Discovery (SEND) (RFC 3971) is used. CGA-TSIG will facilitate the
authentication process of a host with a DNS server and will reduce
the time needed to accomplish DNS Updates. It will also provide a
means for securing the authentication process between resolvers and
clients. CGA-TSIG will be added, as an extension, to TSIG in order to
provide data integrity and proof of IP address ownership. The current
signature generation and verification process used in TSIG will be
substituted with the use of the same parameters as are used in
generating a secure address in IPv6 networks, i.e., Cryptographically
Generated Addresses (CGA) (RFC 3972).
