ADD WG T. Reddy Internet-Draft McAfee Intended status: Standards Track D. Wing Expires: December 19, 2020 Citrix M. Richardson Sandelman Software Works M. Boucadair Orange June 17, 2020 DNS Server Selection: DNS Server Information with Assertion Token draft-reddy-add-server-policy-selection-03 Abstract The document defines a mechanism that allows communication of DNS resolver information to DNS clients for use in server selection decisions. In particular, the document defines a mechanism for a DNS server to communicate its filtering policy and privacy statement URL to DNS clients. This information is cryptographically signed to attest its authenticity. Such information is used for the selection of DNS resolvers. Typically, evaluating the DNS privacy statement, filtering policy, and the signatory, DNS clients with minimum human intervention can select the DNS server that best supports the user's desired privacy and filtering policy. This assertion is useful for encrypted DNS (e.g., DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS) servers that are either public resolvers or are discovered in a local network.

Introduction [RFC7626] discusses DNS privacy considerations in both "on the wire" (Section 2.4 of [RFC7626]) and "in the server" (Section 2.5 of [RFC7626]) contexts. Examples of protocols that provide encrypted channels between DNS clients and servers are DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) [RFC8484] and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) [RFC7858]. DNS clients can discover and authenticate encrypted DNS (e.g., DoH and DoT) servers provided by a local network, for example using the techniques proposed in [I-D.btw-add-home]. If the mechanism used to discover the encrypted DNS server is insecure, the DNS client needs evidence about the encrypted server to assess its trustworthiness and a way to appraise such evidence. The mechanism specified in this document can be used by the DNS client to cryptographically identify it is connecting to an encrypted DNS server hosted by a specific organization (e.g., ISP or Enterprise). The DNS Recursive Operator Privacy (DROP) statement explained in [I-D.ietf-dprive-bcp-op] outlines the recommended contents a DNS operator should publish, thereby providing a means for users to evaluate the privacy properties of a given DNS service. While a human can review the privacy statement of a DNS server operator, the challenge is the user has to search to find the URL that points to the human readable privacy policy information of the DNS server. Also, a user does not know if a DNS server (public or local) performs DNS-based content filtering. This document simplifies the user experience by supporting a mechanism to retrieve the DNS server policy permitting the user to review human-readable privacy policy information of the DNS server and to assess whether that DNS server performs DNS-based content filtering. This document also defines a mechanism for DNS clients to gather a set of information related to discovered (or pre-configured) servers Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 3] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 and use that information to feed a DNS server selection procedure. The following parameters are supported in this version: Malware blocking: Indicates whether the DNS server offers malware blocking service. Phishing blocking: Indicates whether the DNS server offers phishing blocking service. Policy blocking: Indicates whether the DNS server maintains a block- list due to a policy by the operator of the DNS server. Censored blocking: Indicates whether the DNS server maintains a block-list based on a requirement from an external entity. QNAME minimization: Indicates whether the DNS server implements QNAME minimisation [RFC7816]. The cryptographically signed policy allows a DNS client to, e.g., connect to multiple DNS servers and prompt the user to review the DNS privacy statements to select the DNS server that adheres to the privacy preserving data policy and DNS filtering expectations of the user. How a user instructs a DNS client about his/her preferences and how/whether the DNS client prompts a user are out of scope. 2. Sample Use Cases The mechanism for a DNS server to communicate its cryptographically signed policies to DNS clients contributes to solve the following problems in various deployments: o The encrypted DNS server advertised using DHCP/RA in Home and Mobile networks is insecure, the mechanism specified in this document can be used by the DNS client to validate the signatory (e.g., cryptographically attested by the ISP). o Typically Enterprise networks do not assume that all devices in their network are managed by the IT team or Mobile Device Management (MDM) devices, especially in the quite common BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenario. The mechanism specified in this document can be used by users of the BYOD devices to determine if the DNS server on the local network complies with their user's privacy policy and DNS filtering expectations. o The user selects specific well-known networks (e.g., organization for which a user works or a user works temporarily within another corporation) to learn the privacy policy statement and filtering policy of the local DNS server. If the discovered encrypted DNS Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 4] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 server does not meet the privacy preserving data policy and filtering requirements of the user, the DNS client can take appropriate actions. For example, the action can be to use the discovered DNS server only to access internal-only DNS names and use another DNS server (adhering with the user's expectations) for public domains. o The policy information signals the presence of DNS-based content filtering in the attached network. If the network is well-known to the DNS client and the local DNS server meets the privacy requirements of the user, the DNS client can continue to use encrypted connection with the local encrypted DNS server. If the error code returned by the DNS server indicates access to the domain is blocked because of internal security policy [I-D.ietf-dnsop-extended-error], the DNS client can securely identify access to the domain is censored by the network. o The signed policy contains an URL that points to a human-readable privacy policy information of the DNS server for the user to review and can make an informed decision whether the DNS server is trustworthy to honor the privacy of the user. The DNS Push Notifications mechanism defined in [I-D.ietf-dnssd-push] can be used by the DNS client to be asynchronously notified when the policy change occurs. The client automatically learns updates to the policy of the DNS server, and whenever the privacy statement of the DNS server changes, the client can notify the user to re- evaluate the updated privacy statement. As a reminder, DNS Push Notification is only defined for TLS over TCP. DNS client implementations that do not support DNS Push Notifications can use the mechanism discussed in Section 6.1.2 to identify policy updates. 3. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. This document makes use of the terms defined in [RFC8499] and [I-D.ietf-dnsop-terminology-ter]. 'DoH/DoT' refers to DNS-over-HTTPS and/or DNS-over-TLS. 'Encrypted DNS' refers to a DNS protocol that provides an encrypted channel between a DNS client and server (e.g., DoT or DoH). Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 5] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 4. Policy Assertion Token (PAT): Overview JSON Web Token (JWT) [RFC7519] and JSON Web Signature (JWS) [RFC7515] and related specifications define a standard token format that can be used as a way of encapsulating claimed or asserted information with an associated digital signature using X.509 based certificates. JWT provides a set of claims in JSON format that can accommodate asserted policy information of the DoH/DoT server. Additionally, JWS provides a path for updating methods and cryptographic algorithms used for the associated digital signatures. JWS defines the use of JSON data structures in a specified canonical format for signing data corresponding to JOSE header, JWS Payload, and JWS Signature. The next sections define the header and claims that MUST be minimally used with JWT and JWS for privacy assertion token. The Policy Assertion Token (PAT) specifically uses this token format and defines claims that convey the policy information of DoH/DoT server. After the DoT/DoH session is established, the client can retrieve the PAT object using the RESINFO RRtype and QNAME of "resolver-info.arpa/IN" defined in [I-D.pp-add-resinfo]. The signature of PAT object can be validated by the DNS client. If the signer and the contents of the PAT object comply with the user's requirements, the user's client software can use that DNS server. The PAT object is signed by the DNS server's domain that is authoritative to assert the DNS server policy information. This authority is represented by the certificate credentials and the signature. For example, the PAT object could be created by the organization hosting the DoH/DoT server and optionally by a third party who performed privacy and security audit of the DoH/DoT server. The DNS client needs to have the capability to verify the digital signature and to parse the PAT object. 5. PAT Header The JWS token header is a JOSE header (Section 4 of [RFC7515]) that defines the type and encryption algorithm used in the token. PAT header MUST include, at a minimum, the header parameters defined in Sections 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3. Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 6] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 5.1. 'typ' (Type) Header Parameter The 'typ' (Type) Header Parameter is defined Section 4.1.9 of [RFC7515] to declare the media type of the complete JWS. For PAT Token the 'typ' header MUST be the string 'pat'. This represents that the encoded token is a JWT of type pat. 5.2. 'alg' (Algorithm) Header Parameter The 'alg' (Algorithm) Header Parameter is defined in Section 4.1.1 of [RFC7515]. It specifies the JWS signature cryptographic algorithm. It also refers to a list of defined 'alg' values as part of a registry established by JSON Web Algorithms (JWA) [RFC7518] Section 3.1. For the creation and verification of PAT tokens and their digital signatures, implementations MUST support ES256 as defined in Section 3.4 of [RFC7518]. Implementations MAY support other algorithms registered in the JSON Web Signature and Encryption Algorithms registry created by [RFC7518]. The content of that registry may be updated in the future depending on cryptographic strength requirements guided by current security best practice. The mandatory-to-support algorithm for PAT tokens may likewise be updated in the future. Implementations of PAT digital signatures using ES256 as defined above SHOULD use deterministic ECDSA when supported for the reasons stated in [RFC6979]. 5.3. 'x5u' (X.509 URL) Header Parameter As defined in Section 4.1.5 of [RFC7515], the 'x5u' header parameter defines a URI [RFC3986] referring to the resource for the X.509 public key certificate or certificate chain [RFC5280] corresponding to the key used to digitally sign the JWS. Generally, as defined in Section 4.1.5 of [RFC7515] this corresponds to an HTTPS or DNSSEC resource using integrity protection. 5.4. An Example of PAT Header An example of the PAT header is shown in Figure 1. It includes the specified PAT type, ES256 algorithm, and an URI referencing the network location of the certificate needed to validate the PAT signature. Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 7] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 { "typ":"pat", "alg":"ES256", "x5u":"https://cert.example.com/pat.cer" } Figure 1: A PAT Header Example 6. PAT Payload The token claims consists of the policy information of the DNS server which needs to be verified at the DNS client. These claims follow the definition of a JWT claim (Secion 4 of [RFC7519]) and are encoded as defined by the JWS Payload (Section 3 of [RFC7515]). PAT defines the use of a standard JWT-defined claim as well as custom claims corresponding to the DoT or DoH servers. Claim names MUST use the US-ASCII character set. Claim values MAY contain characters that are outside the ASCII range, however they MUST follow the default JSON serialization defined in Section 7 of [RFC7519]. 6.1. JWT Defined Claims 6.1.1. 'iat' - Issued At Claim The JSON claim MUST include the 'iat' (Section 4.1.6 of [RFC7519]) defined claim "Issued At". The 'iat' should be set to the date and time of issuance of the JWT. The time value should be of the format (NumericDate) defined in Section 2 of [RFC7519]. 6.1.2. 'exp' - Expiration Time Claim The JSON claim MUST include the 'exp' (Section 4.1.4 of [RFC7519]) defined "claim Expiration Time". The 'exp' should be set to specify the expiration time on or after which the JWT is not accepted for processing. The PAT object should expire after a reasonable duration. A short expiration time for the PAT object periodically reaffirms the policy information of the DNS server to the DNS client and ensures the DNS client does not use outdated policy information. If the DNS client knows the PAT object has expired, it should make another request to get the new PAT object from the DNS server. For example, the client can compute a hash of the resolver information, retreive the information after the expiration time, computes the hash of the newly retrieved resolver information, and compares with the old hash to detect policy updates. A quality implementation can Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 8] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 perform automatic analysis and avoid presenting this information to the user if the DNS server's policies have not changed. 6.2. PAT Specific Claims 6.2.1. DNS Server Identity Claims The DNS server identity is represented by a claim that is required for PAT: the 'server' claim. The 'server' MUST contain claim values that are identity claim JSON objects where the child claim name represents an identity type and the claim value is the identity string, both defined in subsequent subsections. These identities can be represented as either authentication domain name (ADN) (defined in [RFC8310]) or Uniform Resource Indicators (URI). The DNS client constructs a reference identifier for the DNS server based on the ADN or the domain portion in the URI of the DNS server identity. The domain name in the DNS-ID identifier type within subjectAltName entry in the DNS server certificate conveyed in the TLS handshake is matched with the reference identifier. If the match is not successful, the client MUST not accept the PAT for further processing. 6.2.1.1. 'adn' - Authentication Domain Name Identity If the DNS server identity is an ADN, the claim name representing the identity MUST be 'adn'. The claim value for the 'adn' claim is the ADN. 6.2.1.2. 'uri' - URI Identity If the DNS server identity is of the form URI, as defined in [RFC3986], the claim name representing the identity MUST be 'uri' and the claim value is the URI form of the DNS server identity. As a reminder, if DoH is supported by the DNS server, the DNS client uses the https URI scheme (Section 3 of [RFC8484]). 6.2.2. 'policyinfo' (Policy Information) Claim The 'policyinfo' claim MUST be formatted as a JSON object. The 'policyinfo' claim contains the policy information of the DNS server, it includes the following attributes: filtering: If the DNS server changes some of the answers that it returns or failure codes are returned based on policy criteria, Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 9] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 such as to prevent access to malware sites or objectionable content (e.g., legal obligation). This optional attribute has the following structure: malwareblocking: The DNS server offers malware blocking service. If access to domains is blocked on threat data, the parameter value is set to 'true'. Note that some of the commonly known types of malware are viruses, worms, trojans, bots, ransomware, backdoors, spyware, and adware. phishingblocking: The DNS server offers phishing blocking service. If access to phishing domains is blocked, the parameter value is set to 'true'. policyblocking: If access to domains is blocked due to an internal policy imposed by the operator of the DNS server, the parameter value is set to 'true'. Note that the extended error code "Blocking" defined in Section 4.16 of [I-D.ietf-dnsop-extended-error] identifies access to domains is blocked due to an policy by the operator of the DNS server. censoredblocking: If access to domains is blocked due to an external requirement imposed by an external entity, the parameter value is set to 'true'. Note that the extended error code "Censored" defined in Section 4.17 of [I-D.ietf-dnsop-extended-error] identifies access to domains is blocked based on a requirement from an external entity. Similar to the definition of "Censored" blocking in [I-D.ietf-dnsop-extended-error], this version of the specification does not distinguish blocking from regulatory bodies (e.g., Law Enforcement Agency) vs. arbitrary blocking. Such differentiation may be defined if required. qnameminimization: If the DNS server implements QNAME minimisation [RFC7816] to improve DNS privacy. If the parameter value is set to 'true', QNAME minimisation is supported by the DNS server. This is a mandatory attribute. clientauth: If the DNS server policy requires client authentication, the parameter value is set to true. For example, when not on the enterprise network (e.g., at home or coffeeshop) yet needing to access the enterprise DoH/DoT server, roaming users can use client authentication to access the Enterprise provided DoH/DoT server. This is a optional attribute. privacyurl: A URL that points to the privacy policy information of the DNS server. This is a mandatory attribute. Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 10] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 auditurl: A URL that points to the security (including privacy) assessment report of the DNS server by a third party auditor. This is an optional attribute. 6.2.3. Example Figure 2 shows an example of policy information. { "server":{ "adn":["example.com"] }, "iat":1443208345, "exp":1443640345, "policyinfo": { "filtering": { "malwareblocking": true, "policyblocking": false }, "qnameminimization":false, "privacyurl": "https://example.com/commitment-to-privacy/" } } Figure 2: An Example of Policy Information 7. PAT Signature The signature of the PAT is created as specified in Section 5.1 of [RFC7515] (Steps 1 through 6). PAT MUST use the JWS Protected Header. For the JWS Payload and the JWS Protected Header, the lexicographic ordering and white space rules described in Section 5 and Section 6, and JSON serialization rules in Section 9 MUST be followed. The PAT is cryptographically signed by the domain hosting the DNS server and optionally by a third party who performed privacy and security audit of the DNS server. The policy information is attested using "Organization Validation" (OV) or "Extended Validation" (EV) certificates to avoid bad actors taking advantage of this mechanism to advertise encrypted DNS servers for illegitimate and fraudulent purposes meant to trick DNS clients into believing that they are using a legitimate encrypted DNS server hosted to provide privacy for DNS transactions. Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 11] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 Alternatively, a DNS client has to be configured to trust the leaf of the signer of the PAT object. That is, trust of the signer MUST NOT be determined by validating the signer via the OS or the browser trust chain because that would allow any arbitrary entity to operate a DNS server and assert any sort of policy. Appendix A provides an example of how to follow the steps to create the JWS Signature. JWS JSON serialization (Step 7 in Section 5.1 of [RFC7515]) is supported for PAT to enable multiple signatures to be applied to the PAT object. For example, the PAT object can be cryptographically signed by the domain hosting the DNS server and by a third party who performed privacy and security audit of the DNS server. Appendix B includes an example of the full JWS JSON serialization representation with multiple signatures. Section 5.1 of [RFC7515] (Step 8) describes the method to create the final JWS Compact Serialization form of the PAT Token. 8. Extending PAT PAT includes the minimum set of claims needed to securely assert the policy information of the DNS server. JWT supports a mechanism to add additional asserted or signed information by simply adding new claims. PAT can be extended beyond the defined base set of claims to represent other DNS server information requiring assertion or validation. Specifying new claims follows the baseline JWT procedures (Section 10.1 of [RFC7519]). Understanding new claims on the DNS client is optional. The creator of a PAT object cannot assume that the DNS client will understand the new claims. 9. Deterministic JSON Serialization JSON objects can include spaces and line breaks, and key value pairs can occur in any order. It is therefore a non-deterministic string format. In order to make the digital signature verification work deterministically, the JSON representation of the JWS Protected Header object and JWS Payload object MUST be computed as follows. The JSON object MUST follow the following rules. These rules are based on the thumbprint of a JSON Web Key (JWK) as defined in Section 3 of [RFC7638] (Step 1). 1. The JSON object MUST contain no whitespace or line breaks before or after any syntactic elements. Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 12] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 2. JSON objects MUST have the keys ordered lexicographically by the Unicode [UNICODE] code points of the member names. 3. JSON value literals MUST be lowercase. 4. JSON numbers are to be encoded as integers unless the field is defined to be encoded otherwise. 5. Encoding rules MUST be applied recursively to member values and array values. 9.1. Example PAT Deterministic JSON Form This section demonstrates the deterministic JSON serialization for the example PAT Payload shown in Section 6.2.3. The initial JSON object is shown in Figure 3. { "server":{ "adn":["example.com"] }, "iat":1443208345, "exp":1443640345, "policyinfo": { "qnameminimization":false, "privacyurl": "https://example.com/commitment-to-privacy/" } } Figure 3: Initial JSON Object The parent members of the JSON object are as follows, in lexicographic order: "exp", "iat", "policyinfo", "server". The final constructed deterministic JSON serialization representation, with whitespace and line breaks removed, (with line breaks used for display purposes only) is: {"exp":1443640345,"iat":1443208345, "policyinfo":{"privacyurl":"https://example.com/commitment-to-privacy/", "qnameminimization":false},"server":{"adn":["example.com"]}} Figure 4: Deterministic JSON Form Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 13] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 10. Privacy Considerations Users are expected to indicate to their system in some way that they trust certain PAT signers (e.g., if working for Example, Inc., the user's system is configured to trust "example.com" signing the PAT). By doing so, the DNS client can automatically discover encrypted DNS server in specific networks, validate the PAT signature and the user can check if the human readable privacy policy information of the DNS server complies with user's privacy needs, prior to using that encrypted DNS server for DNS queries. The DNS client MUST retrieve the human-readable privacy statement from the 'privacyurl' attribute to assist with that decision (e.g., display the privacy statement when it changes, show differences in previously-retrieved version, etc.). With the steps above, user can review the human-readable privacy policy information of the DoH/DoT server. Another scenario is bootstrapping a networking device to use the encrypted DNS server in the local network. Secure Zero Touch Provisioning [RFC8572] defines a bootstrapping strategy for enabling devices to securely obtain the required configuration information with no user input. If the encrypted DNS server is insecurely discovered and not pre-configured in the networking device, the client can validate the Policy Assertion Token signature using the owner certificate as per Section 3.2 of [RFC8572]. 11. Security Considerations The use of PAT object based on the validation of the digital signature and the associated certificate requires consideration of the authentication and authority or reputation of the signer to attest the policy information of the DNS server being asserted. Bad actors can host encrypted DNS servers, and claim the servers offer privacy but exactly do the opposite to invade the privacy of the user. Bad actor can get a domain name, host encrypted DNS servers, and get the DNS server certificate signed by a CA. The policy information will have to be attested using OV/EV certificates or a PAT object signer trusted by the DNS client to prevent the attack. The CA that issued the OV/EV certificate does not attest the resolver information. The organization hosting the DNS server attests the resolver information using the OV/EV certificate and the client uses the OV/EV certificate to identify the organization (e.g., ISP or Enterprise) hosting the DNS server. If the PAT object is asserted by a third party, it can do a "time of check" but the DNS server is susceptible of "time of use" attack. Reddy, et al. Expires December 19, 2020 [Page 14] Internet-Draft DNS Server Info with Assertion Token June 2020 For example, changes to the policy of the DNS server can cause a disagreement between the auditor and the DNS server operation, hence the PAT object needs to be also asserted by the domain hosting the DNS server. In addition, the PAT object needs to have a short expiration time (e.g., 7 days) to ensure the DNS server's domain re- asserts the policy information and limits the damage from change in policy and mis-issuance. 12.

Example ES256 based PAT JWS Serialization and Signature For PAT, there will always be a JWS with the following members: o 'protected', with the value BASE64URL(UTF8(JWS Protected Header)) o 'payload', with the value BASE64URL (JWS Payload) o 'signature', with the value BASE64URL(JWS Signature) This example will follow the steps in JWS [RFC7515] Section 5.1, steps 1-6 and 8 and incorporates the additional serialization steps required for PAT. Step 1 for JWS references the JWS Payload, an example PAT Payload is as follows: Reddy, et al.
