DNS over Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS)
Abstract
DNS queries and responses are visible to network elements on the path
between the DNS client and its server. These queries and responses
can contain privacy-sensitive information, which is valuable to
protect.
This document proposes the use of Datagram Transport Layer Security
(DTLS) for DNS, to protect against passive listeners and certain
active attacks. As latency is critical for DNS, this proposal also
discusses mechanisms to reduce DTLS round trips and reduce the DTLS
handshake size. The proposed mechanism runs over port 853.

RFC 8094 DNS over DTLS February 2017
1. Introduction
The Domain Name System is specified in [RFC1034] and [RFC1035]. DNS
queries and responses are normally exchanged unencrypted; thus, they
are vulnerable to eavesdropping. Such eavesdropping can result in an
undesired entity learning domain that a host wishes to access, thus
resulting in privacy leakage. The DNS privacy problem is further
discussed in [RFC7626].
This document defines DNS over DTLS, which provides confidential DNS
communication between stub resolvers and recursive resolvers, stub
resolvers and forwarders, and forwarders and recursive resolvers.
DNS over DTLS puts an additional computational load on servers. The
largest gain for privacy is to protect the communication between the
DNS client (the end user's machine) and its caching resolver. DNS
over DTLS might work equally between recursive clients and
authoritative servers, but this application of the protocol is out of
scope for the DNS PRIVate Exchange (DPRIVE) working group per its
current charter. This document does not change the format of DNS
messages.
The motivations for proposing DNS over DTLS are that:
o TCP suffers from network head-of-line blocking, where the loss of
a packet causes all other TCP segments not to be delivered to the
application until the lost packet is retransmitted. DNS over
DTLS, because it uses UDP, does not suffer from network head-of-
line blocking.
o DTLS session resumption consumes one round trip, whereas TLS
session resumption can start only after the TCP handshake is
complete. However, with TCP Fast Open [RFC7413], the
implementation can achieve the same RTT efficiency as DTLS.
Note: DNS over DTLS is an experimental update to DNS, and the
experiment will be concluded when the specification is evaluated
through implementations and interoperability testing.
1.1. Relationship to TCP Queries and to DNSSEC
DNS queries can be sent over UDP or TCP. The scope of this document,
however, is only UDP. DNS over TCP can be protected with TLS, as
described in [RFC7858]. DNS over DTLS alone cannot provide privacy
for DNS messages in all circumstances, specifically when the DTLS
record size is larger than the path MTU. In such situations, the DNS
server will respond with a truncated response (see Section 5).
Reddy, et al. Experimental [Page 3]
RFC 8094 DNS over DTLS February 2017
Therefore, DNS clients and servers that implement DNS over DTLS MUST
also implement DNS over TLS in order to provide privacy for clients
that desire Strict Privacy as described in [DTLS].
DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) [RFC4033] provide object integrity
of DNS resource records, allowing end users (or their resolver) to
verify the legitimacy of responses. However, DNSSEC does not provide
privacy for DNS requests or responses. DNS over DTLS works in
conjunction with DNSSEC, but DNS over DTLS does not replace the need
or value of DNSSEC.
1.2. Document Status
This document is an Experimental RFC. One key aspect to judge
whether the approach is usable on a large scale is by observing the
uptake, usability, and operational behavior of the protocol in large-
scale, real-life deployments.
This DTLS solution was considered by the DPRIVE working group as an
option to use in case the TLS-based approach specified in [RFC7858]
turns out to have some issues when deployed. At the time of writing,
it is expected that [RFC7858] is what will be deployed, and so this
specification is mainly intended as a backup.
The following guidelines should be considered when performance
benchmarking DNS over DTLS:
1. DNS over DTLS can recover from packet loss and reordering, and
does not suffer from network head-of-line blocking. DNS over
DTLS performance, in comparison with DNS over TLS, may be better
in lossy networks.
2. The number of round trips to send the first DNS query over DNS
over DTLS is less than the number of round trips to send the
first DNS query over TLS. Even if TCP Fast Open is used, it only
works for subsequent TCP connections between the DNS client and
server (Section 3 in [RFC7413]).
3. If the DTLS 1.3 protocol [DTLS13] is used for DNS over DTLS, it
provides critical latency improvements for connection
establishment over DTLS 1.2.
2. 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
[RFC2119] .
Reddy, et al. Experimental [Page 4]
RFC 8094 DNS over DTLS February 2017
3. Establishing and Managing DNS over DTLS Sessions
3.1. Session Initiation
By default, DNS over DTLS MUST run over standard UDP port 853 as
defined in Section 8, unless the DNS server has mutual agreement with
its clients to use a port other than 853 for DNS over DTLS. In order
to use a port other than 853, both clients and servers would need a
configuration option in their software.
The DNS client should determine if the DNS server supports DNS over
DTLS by sending a DTLS ClientHello message to port 853 on the server,
unless it has mutual agreement with its server to use a port other
than port 853 for DNS over DTLS. Such another port MUST NOT be port
53 but MAY be from the "first-come, first-served" port range (User
Ports [RFC6335], range 1024-49151). This recommendation against the
use of port 53 for DNS over DTLS is to avoid complications in
selecting use or non-use of DTLS and to reduce risk of downgrade
attacks.
A DNS server that does not support DNS over DTLS will not respond to
ClientHello messages sent by the client. If no response is received
from that server, and the client has no better round-trip estimate,
the client SHOULD retransmit the DTLS ClientHello according to
Section 4.2.4.1 of [RFC6347]. After 15 seconds, it SHOULD cease
attempts to retransmit its ClientHello. The client MAY repeat that
procedure to discover if DNS over DTLS service becomes available from
the DNS server, but such probing SHOULD NOT be done more frequently
than every 24 hours and MUST NOT be done more frequently than every
15 minutes. This mechanism requires no additional signaling between
the client and server.
DNS clients and servers MUST NOT use port 853 to transport cleartext
DNS messages. DNS clients MUST NOT send and DNS servers MUST NOT
respond to cleartext DNS messages on any port used for DNS over DTLS
(including, for example, after a failed DTLS handshake). There are
significant security issues in mixing protected and unprotected data;
therefore, UDP connections on a port designated by a given server for
DNS over DTLS are reserved purely for encrypted communications.
3.2. DTLS Handshake and Authentication
The DNS client initiates the DTLS handshake as described in
[RFC6347], following the best practices specified in [RFC7525].
After DTLS negotiation completes, if the DTLS handshake succeeds
according to [RFC6347], the connection will be encrypted and would
then be protected from eavesdropping.
Reddy, et al. Experimental [Page 5]
RFC 8094 DNS over DTLS February 2017
DNS privacy requires encrypting the query (and response) from passive
attacks. Such encryption typically provides integrity protection as
a side effect, which means on-path attackers cannot simply inject
bogus DNS responses. However, to provide stronger protection from
active attackers pretending to be the server, the server itself needs
to be authenticated. To authenticate the server providing DNS
privacy, DNS client MUST use the authentication mechanisms discussed
in [DTLS]. This document does not propose new ideas for
authentication.
3.3. Established Sessions
In DTLS, all data is protected using the same record encoding and
mechanisms. When the mechanism described in this document is in
effect, DNS messages are encrypted using the standard DTLS record
encoding. When a DTLS user wishes to send a DNS message, the data is
delivered to the DTLS implementation as an ordinary application data
write (e.g., SSL_write()). A single DTLS session can be used to send
multiple DNS requests and receive multiple DNS responses.
To mitigate the risk of unintentional server overload, DNS over DTLS
clients MUST take care to minimize the number of concurrent DTLS
sessions made to any individual server. For any given client/server
interaction, it is RECOMMENDED that there be no more than one DTLS
session. Similarly, servers MAY impose limits on the number of
concurrent DTLS sessions being handled for any particular client IP
address or subnet. These limits SHOULD be much looser than the
client guidelines above because the server does not know, for
example, if a client IP address belongs to a single client, is
representing multiple resolvers on a single machine, or is
representing multiple clients behind a device performing Network
Address Translation (NAT).
In between normal DNS traffic, while the communication to the DNS
server is quiescent, the DNS client MAY want to probe the server
using DTLS heartbeat [RFC6520] to ensure it has maintained
cryptographic state. Such probes can also keep alive firewall or NAT
bindings. This probing reduces the frequency of needing a new
handshake when a DNS query needs to be resolved, improving the user
experience at the cost of bandwidth and processing time.
A DTLS session is terminated by the receipt of an authenticated
message that closes the connection (e.g., a DTLS fatal alert). If
the server has lost state, a DTLS handshake needs to be initiated
with the server. For the server, to mitigate the risk of
unintentional server overload, it is RECOMMENDED that the default DNS
over DTLS server application-level idle time be set to several
seconds and not set to less than a second, but no particular value is
Reddy, et al. Experimental [Page 6]
RFC 8094 DNS over DTLS February 2017
specified. When no DNS queries have been received from the client
after idle timeout, the server MUST send a DTLS fatal alert and then
destroy its DTLS state. The DTLS fatal alert packet indicates the
server has destroyed its state, signaling to the client that if it
wants to send a new DTLS message, it will need to re-establish
cryptographic context with the server (via full DTLS handshake or
DTLS session resumption). In practice, the idle period can vary
dynamically, and servers MAY allow idle connections to remain open
for longer periods as resources permit.
4. Performance Considerations
The DTLS protocol profile for DNS over DTLS is discussed in
Section 11 of [DTLS]. To reduce the number of octets of the DTLS
handshake, especially the size of the certificate in the ServerHello
(which can be several kilobytes), DNS clients and servers can use raw
public keys [RFC7250] or Cached Information Extension [RFC7924].
Cached Information Extension avoids transmitting the server's
certificate and certificate chain if the client has cached that
information from a previous TLS handshake. TLS False Start [RFC7918]
can reduce round trips by allowing the TLS second flight of messages
(ChangeCipherSpec) to also contain the (encrypted) DNS query.
It is highly advantageous to avoid server-side DTLS state and reduce
the number of new DTLS sessions on the server that can be done with
TLS Session Resumption without server state [RFC5077]. This also
eliminates a round trip for subsequent DNS over DTLS queries, because
with [RFC5077] the DTLS session does not need to be re-established.
Since responses within a DTLS session can arrive out of order,
clients MUST match responses to outstanding queries on the same DTLS
connection using the DNS Message ID. If the response contains a
question section, the client MUST match the QNAME, QCLASS, and QTYPE
fields. Failure by clients to properly match responses to
outstanding queries can have serious consequences for
interoperability (Section 7 of [RFC7766]).
5. Path MTU (PMTU) Issues
Compared to normal DNS, DTLS adds at least 13 octets of header, plus
cipher and authentication overhead to every query and every response.
This reduces the size of the DNS payload that can be carried. The
DNS client and server MUST support the Extension Mechanisms for DNS
(EDNS0) option defined in [RFC6891] so that the DNS client can
indicate to the DNS server the maximum DNS response size it can
reassemble and deliver in the DNS client's network stack. If the DNS
client does set the EDNS0 option defined in [RFC6891], then the
maximum DNS response size of 512 bytes plus DTLS overhead will be
Reddy, et al. Experimental [Page 7]
RFC 8094 DNS over DTLS February 2017
well within the Path MTU. If the Path MTU is not known, an IP MTU of
1280 bytes SHOULD be assumed. The client sets its EDNS0 value as if
DTLS is not being used. The DNS server MUST ensure that the DNS
response size does not exceed the Path MTU, i.e., each DTLS record
MUST fit within a single datagram, as required by [RFC6347]. The DNS
server must consider the amount of record expansion expected by the
DTLS processing when calculating the size of DNS response that fits
within the path MTU. The Path MTU MUST be greater than or equal to
the DNS response size + DTLS overhead of 13 octets + padding size
([RFC7830]) + authentication overhead of the negotiated DTLS cipher
suite + block padding (Section 4.1.1.1 of [RFC6347]). If the DNS
server's response were to exceed that calculated value, the server
MUST send a response that does fit within that value and sets the TC
(truncated) bit. Upon receiving a response with the TC bit set and
wanting to receive the entire response, the client behavior is
governed by the current Usage Profile [DTLS]. For Strict Privacy,
the client MUST only send a new DNS request for the same resource
record over an encrypted transport (e.g., DNS over TLS [RFC7858]).
Clients using Opportunistic Privacy SHOULD try for the best case (an
encrypted and authenticated transport) but MAY fall back to
intermediate cases and eventually the worst case scenario (clear
text) in order to obtain a response.
6. Anycast
DNS servers are often configured with anycast addresses. While the
network is stable, packets transmitted from a particular source to an
anycast address will reach the same server that has the cryptographic
context from the DNS over DTLS handshake. But, when the network
configuration or routing changes, a DNS over DTLS packet can be
received by a server that does not have the necessary cryptographic
context. Clients using DNS over DTLS need to always be prepared to
re-initiate the DTLS handshake, and in the worst case this could even
happen immediately after re-initiating a new handshake. To encourage
the client to initiate a new DTLS handshake, DNS servers SHOULD
generate a DTLS fatal alert message in response to receiving a DTLS
packet for which the server does not have any cryptographic context.
Upon receipt of an unauthenticated DTLS fatal alert, the DTLS client
validates the fatal alert is within the replay window
(Section 4.1.2.6 of [RFC6347]). It is difficult for the DTLS client
to validate that the DTLS fatal alert was generated by the DTLS
server in response to a request or was generated by an on- or off-
path attacker. Thus, upon receipt of an in-window DTLS fatal alert,
the client SHOULD continue retransmitting the DTLS packet (in the
event the fatal alert was spoofed), and at the same time it SHOULD
initiate DTLS session resumption. When the DTLS client receives an
authenticated DNS response from one of those DTLS sessions, the other
DTLS session should be terminated.
Reddy, et al. Experimental [Page 8]
RFC 8094 DNS over DTLS February 2017
7. Usage
Two Usage Profiles, Strict and Opportunistic, are explained in
[DTLS]. The order of preference for DNS usage is as follows:
1. Encrypted DNS messages with an authenticated server
2. Encrypted DNS messages with an unauthenticated server
3. Plaintext DNS messages
8. IANA Considerations
This specification uses port 853 already allocated in the IANA port
number registry as defined in Section 6 of [RFC7858].
9. Security Considerations
The interaction between a DNS client and a DNS server requires
Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) with a ciphersuite offering
confidentiality protection. The guidance given in [RFC7525] MUST be
followed to avoid attacks on DTLS. The DNS client SHOULD use the TLS
Certificate Status Request extension (Section 8 of [RFC6066]),
commonly called "OCSP stapling" to check the revocation status of the
public key certificate of the DNS server. OCSP stapling, unlike OCSP
[RFC6960], does not suffer from scale and privacy issues. DNS
clients keeping track of servers known to support DTLS enables
clients to detect downgrade attacks. To interfere with DNS over
DTLS, an on- or off-path attacker might send an ICMP message towards
the DTLS client or DTLS server. As these ICMP messages cannot be
authenticated, all ICMP errors should be treated as soft errors
[RFC1122]. If the DNS query was sent over DTLS, then the
corresponding DNS response MUST only be accepted if it is received
over the same DTLS connection. This behavior mitigates all possible
attacks described in Measures for Making DNS More Resilient against
Forged Answers [RFC5452]. The security considerations in [RFC6347]
and [DTLS] are to be taken into account.
A malicious client might attempt to perform a high number of DTLS
handshakes with a server. As the clients are not uniquely identified
by the protocol and can be obfuscated with IPv4 address sharing and
with IPv6 temporary addresses, a server needs to mitigate the impact
of such an attack. Such mitigation might involve rate limiting
handshakes from a certain subnet or more advanced DoS/DDoS techniques
beyond the scope of this document.
