b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe to hide "internal" DNS information from "external" clients on the
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe Internet. There is some debate as to whether or not this is actually
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe useful.
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe Internal DNS information leaks out in many ways (via email headers,
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe for example) and most savvy "attackers" can find the information
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe they need using other means.
7fe18c15b669db9d191859695901dc4fcf3829dawrowe However, since listing addresses of internal servers that
b84f66c93f820824b1d5455181f55598b766319cwrowe external clients cannot possibly reach can result in
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe connection delays and other annoyances, an organization may
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe choose to use a Split DNS to present a consistent view of itself
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe to the outside world.

48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar to allow internal networks that are behind filters or in RFC 1918
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe space (reserved IP space, as documented in RFC 1918) to resolve DNS
2fb49a1d25f38421a68d31b4cbb5d9293fdeafbewrowe on the Internet. Split DNS can also be used to allow mail from outside
60d567a0c2aae815ee6fc20c0d65032bea52c92cwrowe back in to the internal network.

3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley has several corporate sites that have an internal network with
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley reserved
3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley Internet Protocol (IP) space and an external demilitarized zone (DMZ),

3913a3b7e7c72ea11d05da36275db39c2dc39b68jwoolley <span class="emphasis"><em>Example, Inc.</em></span> wants its internal clients
d180ec1b29106f4fec480ef7fcdb04df078010cerse to be able to resolve external hostnames and to exchange mail with
7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard people on the outside. The company also wants its internal resolvers

7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard at all outside of the internal network.

7bce59d998f2e5ca1cb60038ef6c1d0817605d62stoddard In order to accomplish this, the company will set up two sets

48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar This is a short guide to setting up Transaction SIGnatures
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar (TSIG) based transaction security in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>. It describes changes
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar to the configuration file as well as what changes are required for
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar different features, including the process of creating transaction
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar keys and using transaction signatures with <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>.

64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar<p>
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> primarily supports TSIG for server
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar to server communication.
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar This includes zone transfer, notify, and recursive query messages.
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar Resolvers based on newer versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8 have limited support
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar for TSIG.

64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar TSIG can also be useful for dynamic update. A primary
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar server for a dynamic zone should control access to the dynamic
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar update service, but IP-based access control is insufficient.
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar The cryptographic access control provided by TSIG
6694e265e9a71ceaedbe1f1aa4db4d9ba42fb866wrowe is far superior. The <span><strong class="command">nsupdate</strong></span>
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar program supports TSIG via the <code class="option">-k</code> and
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar <code class="option">-y</code> command line options or inline by use

64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar The processing of TSIG signed messages can result in
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar several errors. If a signed message is sent to a non-TSIG aware
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar server, a FORMERR (format error) will be returned, since the server will not
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar understand the record. This is a result of misconfiguration,
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar since the server must be explicitly configured to send a TSIG
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar signed message to a specific server.

64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar unknown key, the response will be unsigned with the TSIG
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar extended error code set to BADKEY. If a TSIG aware server

64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar is a mechanism for automatically generating a shared secret
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar between two hosts. There are several "modes" of
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar <span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> that specify how the key is generated
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar or assigned. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 implements only one of
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar these modes, the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Both hosts are
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar required to have a Diffie-Hellman KEY record (although this
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar record is not required to be present in a zone). The
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar <span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> process must use signed messages,
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar signed either by TSIG or SIG(0). The result of
48c0c81cd6fabac9d3386406d97633780365b839coar <span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> is a shared secret that can be used to
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar sign messages with TSIG. <span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> can also be
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar used to delete shared secrets that it had previously

64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar or server by sending a signed <span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span>

64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar (including any appropriate KEYs) to a TKEY-aware server. The
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar server response, if it indicates success, will contain a
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar <span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> record and any appropriate keys.

64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar this exchange, both participants have enough information to
64ad864fa0f4493eebb181e393b40a8a90beccb9coar determine the shared secret; the exact process depends on the

863ec32e13d6c9619414c48b51109f3dca99cbc6wrowe It is recommended that zone keys use a cryptographic algorithm

2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj The following command will generate a 768-bit RSASHA1 key for

2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj Two output files will be produced:
ef7ff29d74b8684761de5758423f1cc5a49f48e3rbb <code class="filename">Kchild.example.+005+12345.key</code> and

ef7ff29d74b8684761de5758423f1cc5a49f48e3rbb (where
ef7ff29d74b8684761de5758423f1cc5a49f48e3rbb 12345 is an example of a key tag). The key filenames contain
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj the key name (<code class="filename">child.example.</code>),
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj algorithm (3
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj is DSA, 1 is RSAMD5, 5 is RSASHA1, etc.), and the key tag (12345 in
this case).
The private key (in the <code class="filename">.private</code>
file) is
used to generate signatures, and the public key (in the
<code class="filename">.key</code> file) is used for signature
verification.
</p>
<p>
To generate another key with the same properties (but with
a different key tag), repeat the above command.
</p>
<p>
The <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keyfromlabel</strong></span> program is used
to get a key pair from a crypto hardware and build the key
files. Its usage is similar to <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span>.
</p>
<p>
The public keys should be inserted into the zone file by
including the <code class="filename">.key</code> files using
<span><strong class="command">$INCLUDE</strong></span> statements.

<p>
The <span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span> program is used
to sign a zone.
</p>
<p>
Any <code class="filename">keyset</code> files corresponding to
secure subzones should be present. The zone signer will
generate <code class="literal">NSEC</code>, <code class="literal">NSEC3</code>
and <code class="literal">RRSIG</code> records for the zone, as
well as <code class="literal">DS</code> for the child zones if
<code class="literal">'-g'</code> is specified. If <code class="literal">'-g'</code>
is not specified, then DS RRsets for the secure child
zones need to be added manually.
</p>
<p>
The following command signs the zone, assuming it is in a
file called <code class="filename">zone.child.example</code>. By
default, all zone keys which have an available private key are
used to generate signatures.
</p>
<p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-signzone -o child.example zone.child.example</code></strong>
</p>
<p>
One output file is produced:
<code class="filename">zone.child.example.signed</code>. This
file
should be referenced by <code class="filename">named.conf</code>
as the
input file for the zone.
</p>
<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span>
will also produce a keyset and dsset files and optionally a
dlvset file. These are used to provide the parent zone
administrators with the <code class="literal">DNSKEYs</code> (or their
corresponding <code class="literal">DS</code> records) that are the
secure entry point to the zone.

<p>
To enable <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to respond appropriately
to DNS requests from DNSSEC aware clients,
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-enable</strong></span> must be set to yes.
(This is the default setting.)
</p>
<p>
To enable <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to validate answers from
other servers, the <span><strong class="command">dnssec-enable</strong></span> option
must be set to <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>, and the
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-validation</strong></span> options must be set to
<strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong> or <strong class="userinput"><code>auto</code></strong>.
</p>
<p>
If <span><strong class="command">dnssec-validation</strong></span> is set to
<strong class="userinput"><code>auto</code></strong>, then a default
trust anchor for the DNS root zone will be used.
If it is set to <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>, however,
then at least one trust anchor must be configured
with a <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> or
<span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement in
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>, or DNSSEC validation
will not occur. The default setting is
<strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> are copies of DNSKEY RRs
for zones that are used to form the first link in the
cryptographic chain of trust. All keys listed in
<span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> (and corresponding zones)
are deemed to exist and only the listed keys will be used
to validated the DNSKEY RRset that they are from.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> are trusted keys which are
automatically kept up to date via RFC 5011 trust anchor
maintenance.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> and
<span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> are described in more detail
later in this document.
</p>
<p>
Unlike <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
9 does not verify signatures on load, so zone keys for
authoritative zones do not need to be specified in the
configuration file.
</p>
<p>
After DNSSEC gets established, a typical DNSSEC configuration
will look something like the following. It has one or
more public keys for the root. This allows answers from
outside the organization to be validated. It will also
have several keys for parts of the namespace the organization
controls. These are here to ensure that <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>
is immune to compromises in the DNSSEC components of the security
of parent zones.

<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
None of the keys listed in this example are valid. In particular,
the root key is not valid.
</div>
<p>
When DNSSEC validation is enabled and properly configured,
the resolver will reject any answers from signed, secure zones
which fail to validate, and will return SERVFAIL to the client.
</p>
<p>
Responses may fail to validate for any of several reasons,
including missing, expired, or invalid signatures, a key which
does not match the DS RRset in the parent zone, or an insecure
response from a zone which, according to its parent, should have
been secure.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
When the validator receives a response from an unsigned zone
that has a signed parent, it must confirm with the parent
that the zone was intentionally left unsigned. It does
this by verifying, via signed and validated NSEC/NSEC3 records,
that the parent zone contains no DS records for the child.
</p>
<p>
If the validator <span class="emphasis"><em>can</em></span> prove that the zone
is insecure, then the response is accepted. However, if it
cannot, then it must assume an insecure response to be a
forgery; it rejects the response and logs an error.
</p>
<p>
The logged error reads "insecurity proof failed" and
"got insecure response; parent indicates it should be secure".
(Prior to BIND 9.7, the logged error was "not insecure".
This referred to the zone, not the response.)

<a name="dnssec.dynamic.zones"></a>DNSSEC, Dynamic Zones, and Automatic Signing</h2></div></div></div>
<p>As of BIND 9.7.0 it is possible to change a dynamic zone
from insecure to signed and back again. A secure zone can use
either NSEC or NSEC3 chains.</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2611074"></a>Converting from insecure to secure</h3></div></div></div></div>
<p>Changing a zone from insecure to secure can be done in two
ways: using a dynamic DNS update, or the
<span><strong class="command">auto-dnssec</strong></span> zone option.</p>
<p>For either method, you need to configure
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> so that it can see the
<code class="filename">K*</code> files which contain the public and private
parts of the keys that will be used to sign the zone. These files
will have been generated by
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span>. You can do this by placing them
in the key-directory, as specified in
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
zone example.net {
type master;
update-policy local;
file "dynamic/example.net/example.net";
key-directory "dynamic/example.net";
};
</pre>
<p>If one KSK and one ZSK DNSKEY key have been generated, this
configuration will cause all records in the zone to be signed
with the ZSK, and the DNSKEY RRset to be signed with the KSK as
well. An NSEC chain will be generated as part of the initial
signing process.</p>

the zone will not be completely signed until

will be added last, to signal that there is a complete NSEC

<p>If you wish to sign using NSEC3 instead of NSEC, you should
add an NSEC3PARAM record to the initial update request. If you

<span><strong class="command">rndc sign &lt;zonename&gt;</strong></span>.</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">auto-dnssec maintain</strong></span> includes the above
functionality, but will also automatically adjust the zone's
DNSKEY records on schedule according to the keys' timing metadata.
(See <a href="man.dnssec-keygen.html" title="dnssec-keygen"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">dnssec-keygen</span></span>(8)</a> and
<a href="man.dnssec-settime.html" title="dnssec-settime"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">dnssec-settime</span></span>(8)</a> for more information.)
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will periodically search the key directory
for keys matching the zone, and if the keys' metadata indicates
that any change should be made the zone, such as adding, removing,
or revoking a key, then that action will be carried out. By default,
the key directory is checked for changes every 60 minutes; this period
can be adjusted with the <code class="option">dnssec-loadkeys-interval</code>, up
to a maximum of 24 hours. The <span><strong class="command">rndc loadkeys</strong></span> forces
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to check for key updates immediately.
</p>
<p>
If keys are present in the key directory the first time the zone
is loaded, the zone will be signed immediately, without waiting for an
<span><strong class="command">rndc sign</strong></span> or <span><strong class="command">rndc loadkeys</strong></span>
command. (Those commands can still be used when there are unscheduled
key changes, however.)
</p>
<p>
If you wish the zone to be signed using NSEC3 instead of NSEC,
submit an NSEC3PARAM record via dynamic update prior to the
scheduled publication and activation of the keys. If you wish the
NSEC3 chain to have the OPTOUT bit set, set it in the flags field
of the NSEC3PARAM record. The NSEC3PARAM record will not appear in
the zone immediately, but it will be stored for later reference. When
the zone is signed and the NSEC3 chain is completed, the NSEC3PARAM
record will appear in the zone.
</p>
<p>Using the
<span><strong class="command">auto-dnssec</strong></span> option requires the zone to be
configured to allow dynamic updates, by adding an
<span><strong class="command">allow-update</strong></span> or
<span><strong class="command">update-policy</strong></span> statement to the zone
configuration. If this has not been done, the configuration will
fail.</p>

<p>The state of the signing process is signaled by

signing is complete, these records will have a nonzero value for
the final octet (for those records which have a nonzero initial
octet).</p>

<a name="id2563774"></a>DNSKEY rollovers</h3></div></div></div></div>
<p>As with insecure-to-secure conversions, rolling DNSSEC
keys can be done in two ways: using a dynamic DNS update, or the
<span><strong class="command">auto-dnssec</strong></span> zone option.</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2563787"></a>Dynamic DNS update method</h3></div></div></div></div>
<p> To perform key rollovers via dynamic update, you need to add
the <code class="filename">K*</code> files for the new keys so that
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> can find them. You can then add the new
DNSKEY RRs via dynamic update.
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will then cause the zone to be signed
with the new keys. When the signing is complete the private type
records will be updated so that the last octet is non
zero.</p>
<p>If this is for a KSK you need to inform the parent and any
trust anchor repositories of the new KSK.</p>
<p>You should then wait for the maximum TTL in the zone before
removing the old DNSKEY. If it is a KSK that is being updated,
you also need to wait for the DS RRset in the parent to be
updated and its TTL to expire. This ensures that all clients will
be able to verify at least one signature when you remove the old
DNSKEY.</p>
<p>The old DNSKEY can be removed via UPDATE. Take care to
specify the correct key.
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will clean out any signatures generated
by the old key after the update completes.</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">

<p>When a new key reaches its activation date (as set by

if the <span><strong class="command">auto-dnssec</strong></span> zone option is set to
<code class="constant">maintain</code>, <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will
automatically carry out the key rollover. If the key's algorithm
has not previously been used to sign the zone, then the zone will
be fully signed as quickly as possible. However, if the new key
is replacing an existing key of the same algorithm, then the
zone will be re-signed incrementally, with signatures from the
old key being replaced with signatures from the new key as their
signature validity periods expire. By default, this rollover
completes in 30 days, after which it will be safe to remove the
old key from the DNSKEY RRset.</p>

<a name="rfc5011.support"></a>Dynamic Trust Anchor Management</h2></div></div></div>
<p>BIND 9.7.0 introduces support for RFC 5011, dynamic trust
anchor management. Using this feature allows
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to keep track of changes to critical
DNSSEC keys without any need for the operator to make changes to
configuration files.</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2572151"></a>Validating Resolver</h3></div></div></div>
<p>To configure a validating resolver to use RFC 5011 to
maintain a trust anchor, configure the trust anchor using a
<span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement. Information about
this can be found in
<a href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#managed-keys" title="managed-keys Statement Definition
and Usage">the section called &#8220;<span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> Statement Definition

</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2572173"></a>Authoritative Server</h3></div></div></div>
<p>To set up an authoritative zone for RFC 5011 trust anchor
maintenance, generate two (or more) key signing keys (KSKs) for
the zone. Sign the zone with one of them; this is the "active"
KSK. All KSK's which do not sign the zone are "stand-by"
keys.</p>
<p>Any validating resolver which is configured to use the
active KSK as an RFC 5011-managed trust anchor will take note
of the stand-by KSKs in the zone's DNSKEY RRset, and store them
for future reference. The resolver will recheck the zone
periodically, and after 30 days, if the new key is still there,
then the key will be accepted by the resolver as a valid trust
anchor for the zone. Any time after this 30-day acceptance
timer has completed, the active KSK can be revoked, and the
zone can be "rolled over" to the newly accepted key.</p>
<p>The easiest way to place a stand-by key in a zone is to
use the "smart signing" features of
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span> and
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span>. If a key with a publication
date in the past, but an activation date which is unset or in
the future, "
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone -S</strong></span>" will include the DNSKEY
record in the zone, but will not sign with it:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keygen -K keys -f KSK -P now -A now+2y example.net</code></strong>
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-signzone -S -K keys example.net</code></strong>
</pre>
<p>To revoke a key, the new command
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-revoke</strong></span> has been added. This adds the
REVOKED bit to the key flags and re-generates the
<code class="filename">K*.key</code> and
<code class="filename">K*.private</code> files.</p>
<p>After revoking the active key, the zone must be signed
with both the revoked KSK and the new active KSK. (Smart
signing takes care of this automatically.)</p>
<p>Once a key has been revoked and used to sign the DNSKEY
RRset in which it appears, that key will never again be
accepted as a valid trust anchor by the resolver. However,
validation can proceed using the new active key (which had been
accepted by the resolver when it was a stand-by key).</p>
<p>See RFC 5011 for more details on key rollover
scenarios.</p>
<p>When a key has been revoked, its key ID changes,
increasing by 128, and wrapping around at 65535. So, for
example, the key "<code class="filename">Kexample.com.+005+10000</code>" becomes
"<code class="filename">Kexample.com.+005+10128</code>".</p>
<p>If two keys have ID's exactly 128 apart, and one is
revoked, then the two key ID's will collide, causing several
problems. To prevent this,
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span> will not generate a new key if
another key is present which may collide. This checking will
only occur if the new keys are written to the same directory
which holds all other keys in use for that zone.</p>
<p>Older versions of BIND 9 did not have this precaution.
Exercise caution if using key revocation on keys that were
generated by previous releases, or if using keys stored in
multiple directories or on multiple machines.</p>
<p>It is expected that a future release of BIND 9 will
address this problem in a different way, by storing revoked
keys with their original unrevoked key ID's.</p>

<a name="pkcs11"></a>PKCS #11 (Cryptoki) support</h2></div></div></div>
<p>PKCS #11 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #11) defines a
platform- independent API for the control of hardware security
modules (HSMs) and other cryptographic support devices.</p>
<p>BIND 9 is known to work with two HSMs: The Sun SCA 6000
cryptographic acceleration board, tested under Solaris x86, and
the AEP Keyper network-attached key storage device, tested with
Debian Linux, Solaris x86 and Windows Server 2003.</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2655562"></a>Prerequisites</h3></div></div></div>
<p>See the HSM vendor documentation for information about
installing, initializing, testing and troubleshooting the
HSM.</p>
<p>BIND 9 uses OpenSSL for cryptography, but stock OpenSSL
does not yet fully support PKCS #11. However, a PKCS #11 engine
for OpenSSL is available from the OpenSolaris project. It has
been modified by ISC to work with with BIND 9, and to provide
new features such as PIN management and key by
reference.</p>
<p>The patched OpenSSL depends on a "PKCS #11 provider".
This is a shared library object, providing a low-level PKCS #11
interface to the HSM hardware. It is dynamically loaded by
OpenSSL at runtime. The PKCS #11 provider comes from the HSM
vendor, and is specific to the HSM to be controlled.</p>
<p>There are two "flavors" of PKCS #11 support provided by
the patched OpenSSL, one of which must be chosen at
configuration time. The correct choice depends on the HSM
hardware:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li><p>Use 'crypto-accelerator' with HSMs that have hardware
cryptographic acceleration features, such as the SCA 6000
board. This causes OpenSSL to run all supported
cryptographic operations in the HSM.</p></li>
<li><p>Use 'sign-only' with HSMs that are designed to
function primarily as secure key storage devices, but lack
hardware acceleration. These devices are highly secure, but
are not necessarily any faster at cryptography than the
system CPU &#8212; often, they are slower. It is therefore
most efficient to use them only for those cryptographic
functions that require access to the secured private key,
such as zone signing, and to use the system CPU for all
other computationally-intensive operations. The AEP Keyper
is an example of such a device.</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>The modified OpenSSL code is included in the BIND 9 release,
in the form of a context diff against the latest verions of
OpenSSL. OpenSSL 0.9.8 and 1.0.0 are both supported; there are
separate diffs for each version. In the examples to follow,
we use OpenSSL 0.9.8, but the same methods work with OpenSSL 1.0.0.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
The latest OpenSSL versions at the time of the BIND release
are 0.9.8s and 1.0.0f.
ISC will provide an updated patch as new versions of OpenSSL
are released. The version number in the following examples
is expected to change.</div>
<p>
Before building BIND 9 with PKCS #11 support, it will be
necessary to build OpenSSL with this patch in place and inform
it of the path to the HSM-specific PKCS #11 provider
library.</p>
<p>Obtain OpenSSL 0.9.8s:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>wget <a href="" target="_top">http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8s.tar.gz</a></code></strong>

<p>Extract the tarball:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>tar zxf openssl-0.9.8s.tar.gz</code></strong>
</pre>
<p>Apply the patch from the BIND 9 release:</p>
<pre class="screen">

<h3 class="title">Note</h3>(Note that the patch file may not be compatible with the
"patch" utility on all operating systems. You may need to
install GNU patch.)</div>
<p>When building OpenSSL, place it in a non-standard
location so that it does not interfere with OpenSSL libraries
elsewhere on the system. In the following examples, we choose
to install into "/opt/pkcs11/usr". We will use this location
when we configure BIND 9.</p>

<p>The AEP Keyper is a highly secure key storage device,
but does not provide hardware cryptographic acceleration. It
can carry out cryptographic operations, but it is probably
slower than your system's CPU. Therefore, we choose the
'sign-only' flavor when building OpenSSL.</p>
<p>The Keyper-specific PKCS #11 provider library is
delivered with the Keyper software. In this example, we place
it /opt/pkcs11/usr/lib:</p>
<pre class="screen">

<p>This library is only available for Linux as a 32-bit
binary. If we are compiling on a 64-bit Linux system, it is
necessary to force a 32-bit build, by specifying -m32 in the
build options.</p>
<p>Finally, the Keyper library requires threads, so we
must specify -pthread.</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>cd openssl-0.9.8s</code></strong>

<p>SoftHSM is a software library provided by the OpenDNSSEC
project (http://www.opendnssec.org) which provides a PKCS#11
interface to a virtual HSM, implemented in the form of encrypted
data on the local filesystem. It uses the Botan library for
encryption and SQLite3 for data storage. Though less secure
than a true HSM, it can provide more secure key storage than
traditional key files, and can allow you to experiment with
PKCS#11 when an HSM is not available.</p>
<p>The SoftHSM cryptographic store must be installed and
initialized before using it with OpenSSL, and the SOFTHSM_CONF
environment variable must always point to the SoftHSM configuration
file:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code> cd softhsm-1.3.0 </code></strong>

<p>BIND 9 includes a minimal set of tools to operate the
HSM, including
<span><strong class="command">pkcs11-keygen</strong></span> to generate a new key pair
within the HSM,
<span><strong class="command">pkcs11-list</strong></span> to list objects currently
available, and
<span><strong class="command">pkcs11-destroy</strong></span> to remove objects.</p>
<p>In UNIX/Linux builds, these tools are built only if BIND
9 is configured with the --with-pkcs11 option. (NOTE: If
--with-pkcs11 is set to "yes", rather than to the path of the
PKCS #11 provider, then the tools will be built but the
provider will be left undefined. Use the -m option or the
PKCS11_PROVIDER environment variable to specify the path to the
provider.)</p>

<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2638266"></a>Using the HSM</h3></div></div></div>
<p>First, we must set up the runtime environment so the
OpenSSL and PKCS #11 libraries can be loaded:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/pkcs11/usr/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}</code></strong>
</pre>
<p>When operating an AEP Keyper, it is also necessary to
specify the location of the "machine" file, which stores
information about the Keyper for use by PKCS #11 provider
library. If the machine file is in
<code class="filename">/opt/Keyper/PKCS11Provider/machine</code>,
use:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>export KEYPER_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Keyper/PKCS11Provider</code></strong>
</pre>
<p>These environment variables must be set whenever running
any tool that uses the HSM, including
<span><strong class="command">pkcs11-keygen</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">pkcs11-list</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">pkcs11-destroy</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-keyfromlabel</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span>(which will use the HSM for
random number generation), and
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.</p>
<p>We can now create and use keys in the HSM. In this case,
we will create a 2048 bit key and give it the label
"sample-ksk":</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>pkcs11-keygen -b 2048 -l sample-ksk</code></strong>
</pre>
<p>To confirm that the key exists:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>pkcs11-list</code></strong>
Enter PIN:
object[0]: handle 2147483658 class 3 label[8] 'sample-ksk' id[0]
object[1]: handle 2147483657 class 2 label[8] 'sample-ksk' id[0]
</pre>
<p>Before using this key to sign a zone, we must create a
pair of BIND 9 key files. The "dnssec-keyfromlabel" utility
does this. In this case, we will be using the HSM key
"sample-ksk" as the key-signing key for "example.net":</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keyfromlabel -l sample-ksk -f KSK example.net</code></strong>
</pre>
<p>The resulting K*.key and K*.private files can now be used
to sign the zone. Unlike normal K* files, which contain both
public and private key data, these files will contain only the
public key data, plus an identifier for the private key which
remains stored within the HSM. The HSM handles signing with the
private key.</p>
<p>If you wish to generate a second key in the HSM for use
as a zone-signing key, follow the same procedure above, using a
different keylabel, a smaller key size, and omitting "-f KSK"
from the dnssec-keyfromlabel arguments:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>pkcs11-keygen -b 1024 -l sample-zsk</code></strong>
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keyfromlabel -l sample-zsk example.net</code></strong>
</pre>
<p>Alternatively, you may prefer to generate a conventional
on-disk key, using dnssec-keygen:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keygen example.net</code></strong>
</pre>
<p>This provides less security than an HSM key, but since
HSMs can be slow or cumbersome to use for security reasons, it
may be more efficient to reserve HSM keys for use in the less
frequent key-signing operation. The zone-signing key can be
rolled more frequently, if you wish, to compensate for a
reduction in key security.</p>
<p>Now you can sign the zone. (Note: If not using the -S
option to
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span>, it will be necessary to add
the contents of both
<code class="filename">K*.key</code> files to the zone master file before
signing it.)</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-signzone -S example.net</code></strong>
Enter PIN:

<p>The OpenSSL engine can be specified in

the --with-pkcs11 option, this option defaults to "pkcs11".
Specifying the engine will generally not be necessary unless
for some reason you wish to use a different OpenSSL
engine.</p>
<p>If you wish to disable use of the "pkcs11" engine &#8212;
for troubleshooting purposes, or because the HSM is unavailable
&#8212; set the engine to the empty string. For example:</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-signzone -E '' -S example.net</code></strong>

<p>If you want
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to dynamically re-sign zones using HSM
keys, and/or to to sign new records inserted via nsupdate, then
named must have access to the HSM PIN. This can be accomplished
by placing the PIN into the openssl.cnf file (in the above
examples,
<code class="filename">/opt/pkcs11/usr/ssl/openssl.cnf</code>).</p>
<p>The location of the openssl.cnf file can be overridden by
setting the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable before running
named.</p>
<p>Sample openssl.cnf:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
openssl_conf = openssl_def
[ openssl_def ]
engines = engine_section
[ engine_section ]
pkcs11 = pkcs11_section
[ pkcs11_section ]
PIN = <em class="replaceable"><code>&lt;PLACE PIN HERE&gt;</code></em>
</pre>
<p>This will also allow the dnssec-* tools to access the HSM
without PIN entry. (The pkcs11-* tools access the HSM directly,
not via OpenSSL, so a PIN will still be required to use
them.)</p>
<div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Warning</h3>
<p>Placing the HSM's PIN in a text file in

<a name="dlz-info"></a>DLZ (Dynamically Loadable Zones)</h2></div></div></div>
<p>
DLZ (Dynamically Loadable Zones) is an extention to BIND 9 that allows
zone data to be retrieved directly from an external database. There is
no required format or schema. DLZ drivers exist for several different
database backends including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and LDAP and can be
written for any other.
</p>
<p>
Historically, DLZ drivers had to be statically linked with the named
binary and were turned on via a configure option at compile time (for
example, <strong class="userinput"><code>"configure --with-dlz-ldap"</code></strong>).
Currently, the drivers provided in the BIND 9 tarball in
<code class="filename">contrib/dlz/drivers</code> are still linked this
way.
</p>
<p>
In BIND 9.8 and higher, it is possible to link some DLZ modules
dynamically at runtime, via the DLZ "dlopen" driver, which acts as a
generic wrapper around a shared object implementing the DLZ API. The
"dlopen" driver is linked into named by default, so configure options
are no longer necessary when using these dynamically linkable drivers,
but are still needed for the older drivers in
<code class="filename">contrib/dlz/drivers</code>.
</p>
<p>
When the DLZ module provides data to named, it does so in text format.
The response is converted to DNS wire format by named. This
conversion, and the lack of any internal caching, places significant
limits on the query performance of DLZ modules. Consequently, DLZ is
not recommended for use on high-volume servers. However, it can be
used in a hidden master configuration, with slaves retrieving zone
updates via AXFR. (Note, however, that DLZ has no built-in support for
DNS notify; slaves are not automatically informed of changes to the
zones in the database.)
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2655544"></a>Configuring DLZ</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
A DLZ database is configured with a <span><strong class="command">dlz</strong></span>
statement in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>:
</p>
<pre class="screen">
dlz example {
database "dlopen driver.so <code class="option">args</code>";
search yes;
};
</pre>
<p>
This specifies a DLZ module to search when answering queries; the
module is implemented in <code class="filename">driver.so</code> and is
loaded at runtime by the dlopen DLZ driver. Multiple
<span><strong class="command">dlz</strong></span> statements can be specified; when
answering a query, all DLZ modules with <code class="option">search</code>
set to <code class="literal">yes</code> will be queried to find out if
they contain an answer for the query name; the best available
answer will be returned to the client.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="option">search</code> option in the above example can be
omitted, because <code class="literal">yes</code> is the default value.
</p>
<p>
If <code class="option">search</code> is set to <code class="literal">no</code>, then
this DLZ module is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> searched for the best
match when a query is received. Instead, zones in this DLZ must be
separately specified in a zone statement. This allows you to
configure a zone normally using standard zone option semantics,
but specify a different database back-end for storage of the
zone's data. For example, to implement NXDOMAIN redirection using
a DLZ module for back-end storage of redirection rules:
</p>
<pre class="screen">
dlz other {
database "dlopen driver.so <code class="option">args</code>";
search no;
};
zone "." {
type redirect;
dlz other;
};
</pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2611048"></a>Sample DLZ Driver</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
For guidance in implementation of DLZ modules, the directory
<code class="filename">contrib/dlz/example</code> contains a basic
dynamically-linkable DLZ module--i.e., one which can be
loaded at runtime by the "dlopen" DLZ driver.
The example sets up a single zone, whose name is passed
to the module as an argument in the <span><strong class="command">dlz</strong></span>
statement:
</p>
<pre class="screen">
dlz other {
database "dlopen driver.so example.nil";
};
</pre>
<p>
In the above example, the module is configured to create a zone
"example.nil", which can answer queries and AXFR requests, and
accept DDNS updates. At runtime, prior to any updates, the zone
contains an SOA, NS, and a single A record at the apex:
</p>
<pre class="screen">
example.nil. 3600 IN SOA example.nil. hostmaster.example.nil. (
123 900 600 86400 3600
)
example.nil. 3600 IN NS example.nil.
example.nil. 1800 IN A 10.53.0.1
</pre>
<p>
The sample driver is capable of retrieving information about the
querying client, and altering its response on the basis of this
information. To demonstrate this feature, the example driver
responds to queries for "source-addr.<code class="option">zonename</code>&gt;/TXT"
with the source address of the query. Note, however, that this
record will *not* be included in AXFR or ANY responses. Normally,
this feature would be used to alter responses in some other fashion,
e.g., by providing different address records for a particular name
depending on the network from which the query arrived.
</p>
<p>
Documentation of the DLZ module API can be found in
<code class="filename">contrib/dlz/example/README</code>. This directory also
contains the header file <code class="filename">dlz_minimal.h</code>, which
defines the API and should be included by any dynamically-linkable
DLZ module.

<a name="id2572956"></a>IPv6 Support in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9</h2></div></div></div>
<p>
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 fully supports all currently
defined forms of IPv6 name to address and address to name
lookups. It will also use IPv6 addresses to make queries when
running on an IPv6 capable system.
</p>
<p>
For forward lookups, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 supports
only AAAA records. RFC 3363 deprecated the use of A6 records,
and client-side support for A6 records was accordingly removed
from <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9.
However, authoritative <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 name servers still
load zone files containing A6 records correctly, answer queries
for A6 records, and accept zone transfer for a zone containing A6
records.
</p>
<p>
For IPv6 reverse lookups, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 supports
the traditional "nibble" format used in the
<span class="emphasis"><em>ip6.arpa</em></span> domain, as well as the older, deprecated
<span class="emphasis"><em>ip6.int</em></span> domain.
Older versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9
supported the "binary label" (also known as "bitstring") format,
but support of binary labels has been completely removed per
RFC 3363.
Many applications in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 do not understand
the binary label format at all any more, and will return an
error if given.
In particular, an authoritative <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9
name server will not load a zone file containing binary labels.
</p>
<p>
For an overview of the format and structure of IPv6 addresses,
see <a href="Bv9ARM.ch09.html#ipv6addresses" title="IPv6 addresses (AAAA)">the section called &#8220;IPv6 addresses (AAAA)&#8221;</a>.

<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2573086"></a>Address Lookups Using AAAA Records</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
The IPv6 AAAA record is a parallel to the IPv4 A record,
and, unlike the deprecated A6 record, specifies the entire
IPv6 address in a single record. For example,
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ORIGIN example.com.
host 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8::1
</pre>
<p>
Use of IPv4-in-IPv6 mapped addresses is not recommended.
If a host has an IPv4 address, use an A record, not
a AAAA, with <code class="literal">::ffff:192.168.42.1</code> as
the address.
</p>
</div>

<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2573176"></a>Address to Name Lookups Using Nibble Format</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
When looking up an address in nibble format, the address
components are simply reversed, just as in IPv4, and
<code class="literal">ip6.arpa.</code> is appended to the
resulting name.
For example, the following would provide reverse name lookup for
a host with address
<code class="literal">2001:db8::1</code>.
