1. Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the global hierarchical distributed
database for Internet Naming. The DNS has been extended to use
cryptographic keys and digital signatures for the verification of the
authenticity and integrity of its data. RFC 4033 [RFC4033], RFC 4034
[RFC4034], and RFC 4035 [RFC4035] describe these DNS Security
Extensions, called DNSSEC.
RFC 4034 describes how to store DNSKEY and RRSIG resource records,
and specifies a list of cryptographic algorithms to use. This
document extends that list with the signature and hash algorithms
GOST R 34.10-2001 ([GOST3410], [RFC5832]) and GOST R 34.11-94
([GOST3411], [RFC5831]), and specifies how to store DNSKEY data and
how to produce RRSIG resource records with these algorithms.
Familiarity with DNSSEC and with GOST signature and hash algorithms
is assumed in this document.
The term "GOST" is not officially defined, but is usually used to
refer to the collection of the Russian cryptographic algorithms
GOST R 34.10-2001 [RFC5832], GOST R 34.11-94 [RFC5831], and
Dolmatov, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 5933 Use of GOST Signatures in DNSSEC July 2010
GOST 28147-89 [RFC5830]. Since GOST 28147-89 is not used in DNSSEC,
"GOST" will only refer to GOST R 34.10-2001 and GOST R 34.11-94 in
this document.
1.1. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
2. DNSKEY Resource Records
The format of the DNSKEY RR can be found in RFC 4034 [RFC4034].
GOST R 34.10-2001 public keys are stored with the algorithm
number 12.
The wire format of the public key is compatible with RFC 4491
[RFC4491]:
According to [GOST3410] and [RFC5832], a public key is a point on the
elliptic curve Q = (x,y).
The wire representation of a public key MUST contain 64 octets, where
the first 32 octets contain the little-endian representation of x and
the second 32 octets contain the little-endian representation of y.
Corresponding public key parameters are those identified by
id-GostR3410-2001-CryptoPro-A-ParamSet (1.2.643.2.2.35.1) [RFC4357],
and the digest parameters are those identified by
id-GostR3411-94-CryptoProParamSet (1.2.643.2.2.30.1) [RFC4357].
2.1. Using a Public Key with Existing Cryptographic Libraries
At the time of this writing, existing GOST-aware cryptographic
libraries are capable of reading GOST public keys via a generic X509
API if the key is encoded according to RFC 4491 [RFC4491],
Section 2.3.2.
To make this encoding from the wire format of a GOST public key with
the parameters used in this document, prepend the 64 octets of key
data with the following 37-byte sequence:
0x30 0x63 0x30 0x1c 0x06 0x06 0x2a 0x85 0x03 0x02 0x02 0x13 0x30
0x12 0x06 0x07 0x2a 0x85 0x03 0x02 0x02 0x23 0x01 0x06 0x07 0x2a
0x85 0x03 0x02 0x02 0x1e 0x01 0x03 0x43 0x00 0x04 0x40

RFC 5933 Use of GOST Signatures in DNSSEC July 2010
2.2. GOST DNSKEY RR Example
Given a private key with the following value (the value of the
GostAsn1 field is split here into two lines to simplify reading; in
the private key file, it must be in one line):
Private-key-format: v1.2
Algorithm: 12 (ECC-GOST)
GostAsn1: MEUCAQAwHAYGKoUDAgITMBIGByqFAwICIwEGByqFAwICHgEEIgQg/9M
iXtXKg9FDXDN/R9CmVhJDyuzRAIgh4tPwCu4NHIs=
The following DNSKEY RR stores a DNS zone key for example.net:
example.net. 86400 IN DNSKEY 256 3 12 (
aRS/DcPWGQj2wVJydT8EcAVoC0kXn5pDVm2I
MvDDPXeD32dsSKcmq8KNVzigjL4OXZTV+t/6
w4X1gpNrZiC01g==
) ; key id = 59732
3. RRSIG Resource Records
The value of the signature field in the RRSIG RR follows RFC 4490
[RFC4490] and is calculated as follows. The values for the RDATA
fields that precede the signature data are specified in RFC 4034
[RFC4034].
hash = GOSTR3411(data)
where "data" is the wire format data of the resource record set that
is signed, as specified in RFC 4034 [RFC4034].
The hash MUST be calculated with GOST R 34.11-94 parameters
identified by id-GostR3411-94-CryptoProParamSet [RFC4357].
The signature is calculated from the hash according to the
GOST R 34.10-2001 standard, and its wire format is compatible with
RFC 4490 [RFC4490].
Quoting RFC 4490:
"The signature algorithm GOST R 34.10-2001 generates a digital
signature in the form of two 256-bit numbers, r and s. Its octet
string representation consists of 64 octets, where the first
32 octets contain the big-endian representation of s and the second
32 octets contain the big-endian representation of r".
Dolmatov, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 5933 Use of GOST Signatures in DNSSEC July 2010
3.1. RRSIG RR Example
With the private key from Section 2.2, sign the following RRSet,
consisting of one A record:
www.example.net. 3600 IN A 192.0.2.1
Setting the inception date to 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC and the
expiration date to 2030-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, the following signature
RR will be valid:
www.example.net. 3600 IN RRSIG A 12 3 3600 20300101000000 (
20000101000000 59732 example.net.
7vzzz6iLOmvtjs5FjVjSHT8XnRKFY15ki6Kp
kNPkUnS8iIns0Kv4APT+D9ibmHhGri6Sfbyy
zi67+wBbbW/jrA== )
Note: The ECC-GOST signature algorithm uses random data, so the
actual computed signature value will differ between signature
calculations.
4. DS Resource Records
The GOST R 34.11-94 digest algorithm is denoted in DS RRs by the
digest type 3. The wire format of a digest value is compatible with
RFC 4490 [RFC4490], that is, the digest is in little-endian
representation.
The digest MUST always be calculated with GOST R 34.11-94 parameters
identified by id-GostR3411-94-CryptoProParamSet [RFC4357].
4.1. DS RR Example
For Key Signing Key (KSK):
example.net. 86400 DNSKEY 257 3 12 (
LMgXRHzSbIJGn6i16K+sDjaDf/k1o9DbxScO
gEYqYS/rlh2Mf+BRAY3QHPbwoPh2fkDKBroF
SRGR7ZYcx+YIQw==
) ; key id = 40692
The DS RR will be
example.net. 3600 IN DS 40692 12 3 (
22261A8B0E0D799183E35E24E2AD6BB58533CBA7E3B14D659E9CA09B

5. Deployment Considerations
5.1. Key Sizes
According to RFC 4357 [RFC4357], the key size of GOST public keys
MUST be 512 bits.
5.2. Signature Sizes
According to the GOST R 34.10-2001 digital signature algorithm
specification ([GOST3410], [RFC5832]), the size of a GOST signature
is 512 bits.
5.3. Digest Sizes
According to GOST R 34.11-94 ([GOST3411], [RFC5831]), the size of a
GOST digest is 256 bits.
6. Implementation Considerations
6.1. Support for GOST Signatures
DNSSEC-aware implementations MAY be able to support RRSIG and DNSKEY
resource records created with the GOST algorithms as defined in this
document.
6.2. Support for NSEC3 Denial of Existence
Any DNSSEC-GOST implementation MUST support both NSEC [RFC4035] and
NSEC3 [RFC5155].
7. Security Considerations
Currently, the cryptographic resistance of the GOST R 34.10-2001
digital signature algorithm is estimated as 2**128 operations of
multiple elliptic curve point computations on prime modulus of order
2**256.
Currently, the cryptographic resistance of the GOST R 34.11-94 hash
algorithm is estimated as 2**128 operations of computations of a step
hash function. (There is a known method to reduce this estimate to
2**105 operations, but it demands padding the colliding message with
1024 random bit blocks each of 256-bit length; thus, it cannot be
used in any practical implementation).
