5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews One common reason for setting up a DNS system this way is
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User to hide "internal" DNS information from "external" clients on the
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews Internet. There is some debate as to whether or not this is actually
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User useful.
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User Internal DNS information leaks out in many ways (via email headers,
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews for example) and most savvy "attackers" can find the information
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews they need using other means.
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User However, since listing addresses of internal servers that
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User external clients cannot possibly reach can result in
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User connection delays and other annoyances, an organization may
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews choose to use a Split DNS to present a consistent view of itself
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User to the outside world.

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews Another common reason for setting up a Split DNS system is
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews to allow internal networks that are behind filters or in RFC 1918
370c55dfcdc559b8761ef3eb4921498580caf14cAutomatic Updater space (reserved IP space, as documented in RFC 1918) to resolve DNS
370c55dfcdc559b8761ef3eb4921498580caf14cAutomatic Updater on the Internet. Split DNS can also be used to allow mail from outside
370c55dfcdc559b8761ef3eb4921498580caf14cAutomatic Updater back in to the internal network.

8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User has several corporate sites that have an internal network with
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User reserved
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User Internet Protocol (IP) space and an external demilitarized zone (DMZ),
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User or "outside" section of a network, that is available to the public.

8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User people on the outside. The company also wants its internal resolvers

8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User In order to accomplish this, the company will set up two sets

8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User IP space) and the other set will be on bastion hosts, which are

8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User the internal name servers must be configured to disallow all queries

8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User This could include things such as the host records for public servers

8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User should have special MX records that contain wildcard (`*') records
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User pointing to the bastion hosts. This is needed because external mail
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User servers do not have any other way of looking up how to deliver mail
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User to those internal hosts. With the wildcard records, the mail will
e68c527dff2f1f7df2a542f8d6f9181a27e05eb7Tinderbox User be delivered to the bastion host, which can then forward it on to
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User internal hosts.

78ec962d9828200d18cd0e41b7d6b9792a74923dTinderbox User TSIG can also be useful for dynamic update. A primary
8e16b3078757ba3010c24aef805e9e29ed19518bTinderbox User server for a dynamic zone should control access to the dynamic

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews Cryptographic authentication of DNS information is possible
through the DNS Security (<span class="emphasis"><em>DNSSEC-bis</em></span>) extensions,
defined in RFC 4033, RFC 4034, and RFC 4035.
This section describes the creation and use of DNSSEC signed zones.
</p>
<p>
In order to set up a DNSSEC secure zone, there are a series
of steps which must be followed. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
9 ships
with several tools
that are used in this process, which are explained in more detail
below. In all cases, the <code class="option">-h</code> option prints a
full list of parameters. Note that the DNSSEC tools require the
keyset files to be in the working directory or the
directory specified by the <code class="option">-d</code> option, and
that the tools shipped with BIND 9.2.x and earlier are not compatible
with the current ones.
</p>
<p>
There must also be communication with the administrators of
the parent and/or child zone to transmit keys. A zone's security
status must be indicated by the parent zone for a DNSSEC capable
resolver to trust its data. This is done through the presence
or absence of a <code class="literal">DS</code> record at the
delegation
point.
</p>
<p>
For other servers to trust data in this zone, they must
either be statically configured with this zone's zone key or the
zone key of another zone above this one in the DNS tree.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2570999"></a>Generating Keys</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
The <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span> program is used to
generate keys.
</p>
<p>
A secure zone must contain one or more zone keys. The
zone keys will sign all other records in the zone, as well as
the zone keys of any secure delegated zones. Zone keys must
have the same name as the zone, a name type of
<span><strong class="command">ZONE</strong></span>, and must be usable for
authentication.
It is recommended that zone keys use a cryptographic algorithm
designated as "mandatory to implement" by the IETF; currently
the only one is RSASHA1.
</p>
<p>
The following command will generate a 768-bit RSASHA1 key for
the <code class="filename">child.example</code> zone:
</p>
<p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keygen -a RSASHA1 -b 768 -n ZONE child.example.</code></strong>
</p>
<p>
Two output files will be produced:
<code class="filename">Kchild.example.+005+12345.key</code> and
<code class="filename">Kchild.example.+005+12345.private</code>
(where
12345 is an example of a key tag). The key filenames contain
the key name (<code class="filename">child.example.</code>),
algorithm (3
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>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2571283"></a>Signing the Zone</h3></div></div></div>
<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.

<a name="id2571364"></a>Configuring Servers</h3></div></div></div>
<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="id2611910"></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

add an NSEC3PARAM record to the initial update request. If you

<span><strong class="command">auto-dnssec allow</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> can search the key directory for keys
matching the zone, insert them into the zone, and use them to
sign the zone. It will do so only when it receives an
<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>

the final octet (for those records which have a nonzero initial

<a name="id2563792"></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="id2563804"></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>

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="id2611694"></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 class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2611717"></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 KSKs 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 IDs exactly 128 apart, and one is
revoked, then the two key IDs 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 IDs.</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 three HSMs: The AEP Keyper, which has
been tested with Debian Linux, Solaris x86 and Windows Server 2003;
the Thales nShield, tested with Debian Linux; and the Sun SCA 6000
cryptographic acceleration board, tested with Solaris x86. In
addition, BIND can be used with SoftHSM, a software-based HSM
simulator produced by the OpenDNSSEC project.
</p>
<p>
PKCS#11 makes use of a "provider library": a dynamically loadable
library which provides a low-level PKCS#11 interface to drive the HSM
hardware. The PKCS#11 provider library comes from the HSM vendor, and
it is specific to the HSM to be controlled.
</p>
<p>
There are two available mechanisms for PKCS#11 support in BIND 9:
OpenSSL-based PKCS#11 and native PKCS#11. When using the first
mechanism, BIND uses a modified version of OpenSSL, which loads
the provider library and operates the HSM indirectly; any
cryptographic operations not supported by the HSM can be carried
out by OpenSSL instead. The second mechanism enables BIND to bypass
OpenSSL completely; BIND loads the provider library itself, and uses
the PKCS#11 API to drive the HSM directly.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2666563"></a>Prerequisites</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
See the documentation provided by your HSM vendor for
information about installing, initializing, testing and
troubleshooting the HSM.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2611345"></a>Native PKCS#11</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
Native PKCS#11 mode will only work with an HSM capable of carrying
out <span class="emphasis"><em>every</em></span> cryptographic operation BIND 9 may
need. The HSM's provider library must have a complete implementation
of the PKCS#11 API, so that all these functions are accessible. As of
this writing, only the Thales nShield HSM and the latest development
version of SoftHSM can be used in this fashion. For other HSMs,
including the AEP Keyper, Sun SCA 6000 and older versions of SoftHSM,
use OpenSSL-based PKCS#11. (Note: As more HSMs become capable of
supporting native PKCS#11, it is expected that OpenSSL-based
PKCS#11 will eventually be deprecated.)
</p>
<p>
To build BIND with native PKCS#11, configure as follows:
</p>
<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>cd bind9</code></strong>
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>/configure --enable-native-pkcs11 \
--with-pkcs11=<em class="replaceable"><code>provider-library-path</code></em></code></strong>
</pre>
<p>
This will cause all BIND tools, including <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>
and the <span><strong class="command">dnssec-*</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">pkcs11-*</strong></span>
tools, to use the PKCS#11 provider library specified in
<em class="replaceable"><code>provider-library-path</code></em> for cryptography.
(The provider library path can be overridden using the
<code class="option">-E</code> in <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> and the
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-*</strong></span> tools, or the <code class="option">-m</code> in
the <span><strong class="command">pkcs11-*</strong></span> tools.)

<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2612040"></a>OpenSSL-based PKCS#11</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
OpenSSL-based PKCS#11 mode uses a modified version of the
OpenSSL library; stock OpenSSL does not fully support PKCS#11.
ISC provides a patch to OpenSSL to correct this. This patch is
based on work originally done by the OpenSolaris project; it has been
modified by ISC to provide new features such as PIN management and
key-by-reference.
</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 versions of
OpenSSL. OpenSSL 0.9.8, 1.0.0, and 1.0.1 are 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 and 1.0.1.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
The latest OpenSSL versions as of this writing (January 2014)
are 0.9.8y, 1.0.0l, and 1.0.1f.
ISC will provide updated patches 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 the patch in place, and configure
it with the path to your HSM's PKCS#11 provider library.

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>
Later, when building BIND 9, the location of the custom-built
OpenSSL library will need to be specified via configure.

<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:

<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>cp pkcs11.GCC4.0.2.so.4.05 /opt/pkcs11/usr/lib/libpkcs11.so</code></strong>
</pre>
<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-0.9.8y</code></strong>
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>/Configure linux-generic32 -m32 -pthread \

<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. SoftHSM can be configured to use
either OpenSSL or 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

SoftHSM can perform all cryptographic operations, but

The PKCS#11 library for the AEP Keyper is currently

<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,
<span><strong class="command">pkcs11-destroy</strong></span> to remove objects, and
<span><strong class="command">pkcs11-tokens</strong></span> to list available tokens.
</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.)

<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2639117"></a>Using the HSM</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
For OpenSSL-based PKCS#11, we must first 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>
This causes <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> and other binaries to load
the OpenSSL library from <code class="filename">/opt/pkcs11/usr/lib</code>
rather than from the default location. This step is not necessary
when using native PKCS#11.
</p>
<p>
Some HSMs require other environment variables to be set.
For example, when operating an AEP Keyper, it is necessary to
specify the location of the "machine" file, which stores
information about the Keyper for use by the 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>
Such 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>, 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. Signing with the private key takes
place inside the HSM.
</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>
<p>
(Note: When using OpenSSL-based PKCS#11 the label is an arbitrary
string which identifies the key. With native PKCS#11, the label is
a PKCS#11 URI string which may include other details about the key
and the HSM, including its PIN. See
<a href="man.dnssec-keyfromlabel.html" title="dnssec-keyfromlabel"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">dnssec-keyfromlabel</span></span>(8)</a> for details.)
</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. (Note: When using native PKCS#11,
there is no speed advantage to using on-disk keys, as cryptographic
operations will be done by the HSM regardless.)
</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:

<a name="id2639472"></a>Specifying the engine on the command line</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
When using OpenSSL-based PKCS#11, the "engine" to be used by
OpenSSL can be specified in <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> and all of
the BIND <span><strong class="command">dnssec-*</strong></span> tools by using the "-E
&lt;engine&gt;" command line option. If BIND 9 is built with
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>
</pre>
<p>
This causes
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span> to run as if it were compiled
without the --with-pkcs11 option.
</p>
<p>
When built with native PKCS#11 mode, the "engine" option has a
different meaning: it specifies the path to the PKCS#11 provider
library. This may be useful when testing a new provider library.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2639520"></a>Running named with automatic zone re-signing</h3></div></div></div>
<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. In OpenSSL-based PKCS#11,
this is 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>
<p>
In native PKCS#11 mode, the PIN can be provided in a file specified
as an attribute of the key's label. For example, if a key had the label
<strong class="userinput"><code>pkcs11:object=local-zsk;pin-source=/etc/hsmpin"</code></strong>,
then the PIN would be read from the file
<code class="filename">/etc/hsmpin</code>.
</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 this manner may reduce the
security advantage of using an HSM. Be sure this is what you want to
do before configuring the system in this way.

<a name="dlz-info"></a>DLZ (Dynamically Loadable Zones)</h2></div></div></div>
<p>
DLZ (Dynamically Loadable Zones) is an extension 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="id2639584"></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="id2580060"></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.

<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,

<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2571854"></a>Address Lookups Using AAAA Records</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
The IPv6 AAAA record is a parallel to the IPv4 A record,

IPv6 address in a single record. For example,
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ORIGIN example.com.

<p>
Use of IPv4-in-IPv6 mapped addresses is not recommended.

a AAAA, with <code class="literal">::ffff:192.168.42.1</code> as
the address.
