DNSSEC
------
DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) provide reliable protection from
`cache poisoning`_ attacks. At the same time these extensions also provide other benefits:
they limit the impact of `random subdomain attacks`_ on resolver caches and authoritative
servers, and provide the foundation for modern applications like `authenticated
and private e-mail transfer`_.
Cryptographic authentication of DNS information is possible through the
DNS Security ("DNSSEC-bis") extensions, defined in :rfc:`4033`, :rfc:`4034`,
and :rfc:`4035`. This section describes the creation and use of DNSSEC
signed zones.
To achieve this goal, DNSSEC adds `digital signatures`_ to DNS records in
authoritative DNS zones, and DNS resolvers verify the validity of the signatures on the
received records. If the signatures match the received data, the resolver can
be sure that the data was not modified in transit.
In order to set up a DNSSEC secure zone, there are a series of steps
which must be followed. BIND 9 ships with several tools that are used in
this process, which are explained in more detail below. In all cases,
the ``-h`` 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 ``-d`` option.
.. note::
DNSSEC and transport-level encryption are complementary!
Unlike typical transport-level encryption like DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS,
or VPN, DNSSEC makes DNS records verifiable at all points of the DNS
resolution chain.
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 ``DS`` record at
the delegation point.
This section focuses on ways to deploy DNSSEC using BIND. For a more in-depth
discussion of DNSSEC principles (e.g. :ref:`how_does_dnssec_change_dns_lookup`)
please see :doc:`dnssec-guide`.
For other servers to trust data in this zone, they must be
statically configured with either this zone's zone key or the zone key of
another zone above this one in the DNS tree.

DNSSEC Keys
~~~~~~~~~~~
Generating Keys
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The :iscman:`dnssec-keygen` program is used to generate keys.
A secure zone must contain one or more zone keys. The zone keys
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, have a
name type of ``ZONE``, and be usable for authentication. It is
recommended that zone keys use a cryptographic algorithm designated as
"mandatory to implement" by the IETF. Currently there are two algorithms,
RSASHA256 and ECDSAP256SHA256; ECDSAP256SHA256 is recommended for
current and future deployments.
The following command generates an ECDSAP256SHA256 key for the
``child.example`` zone:
``dnssec-keygen -a ECDSAP256SHA256 -n ZONE child.example.``
Two output files are produced: ``Kchild.example.+013+12345.key`` and
``Kchild.example.+013+12345.private`` (where 12345 is an example of a
key tag). The key filenames contain the key name (``child.example.``),
the algorithm (5 is RSASHA1, 8 is RSASHA256, 13 is ECDSAP256SHA256, 15 is
ED25519, etc.), and the key tag (12345 in this case). The private key (in
the ``.private`` file) is used to generate signatures, and the public
key (in the ``.key`` file) is used for signature verification.
To generate another key with the same properties but with a different
key tag, repeat the above command.
The :iscman:`dnssec-keyfromlabel` program is used to get a key pair from a
crypto hardware device and build the key files. Its usage is similar to
:iscman:`dnssec-keygen`.
The public keys should be inserted into the zone file by including the
``.key`` files using ``$INCLUDE`` statements.
.. _dnssec_zone_signing:
Signing the Zone
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Zone Signing
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The :iscman:`dnssec-signzone` program is used to sign a zone.
BIND offers several ways to generate signatures and maintain their validity
during the lifetime of a DNS zone:
Any ``keyset`` files corresponding to secure sub-zones should be
present. The zone signer generates ``NSEC``, ``NSEC3``, and ``RRSIG``
records for the zone, as well as ``DS`` for the child zones if :option:`-g <dnssec-signzone -g>`
is specified. If :option:`-g <dnssec-signzone -g>` is not specified, then DS RRsets for the
secure child zones need to be added manually.
- :ref:`dnssec_kasp` - **strongly recommended**
- :ref:`dnssec_dynamic_zones` - only for special needs
- :ref:`dnssec_tools` - discouraged, use only for debugging
By default, all zone keys which have an available private key are used
to generate signatures. The following command signs the zone, assuming
it is in a file called ``zone.child.example``:
.. _zone_keys:
``dnssec-signzone -o child.example zone.child.example``
Zone keys
^^^^^^^^^
Regardless of the :ref:`zone-signing <dnssec_zone_signing>` method in use, cryptographic keys are
stored in files named like :file:`Kdnssec.example.+013+12345.key` and
:file:`Kdnssec.example.+013+12345.private`.
The private key (in the ``.private`` file) is used to generate signatures, and
the public key (in the ``.key`` file) is used for signature verification.
Additionally, the :ref:`dnssec_kasp` method creates a third file,
:file:`Kdnssec.example+013+12345.state`, which is used to track DNSSEC key timings
and to perform key rollovers safely.
One output file is produced: ``zone.child.example.signed``. This file
should be referenced by :iscman:`named.conf` as the input file for the zone.
These filenames contain:
:iscman:`dnssec-signzone` also produces keyset and dsset files. These are used
to provide the parent zone administrators with the ``DNSKEYs`` (or their
corresponding ``DS`` records) that are the secure entry point to the zone.
- the key name, which always matches the zone name (``dnssec.example.``),
- the `algorithm number`_ (013 is ECDSAP256SHA256, 008 is RSASHA256, etc.),
- and the key tag, i.e. a non-unique key identifier (12345 in this case).

.. _`algorithm number`: https://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-sec-alg-numbers/dns-sec-alg-numbers.xhtml#dns-sec-alg-numbers-1
Configuring Servers for DNSSEC
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To enable :iscman:`named` to validate answers received from other servers, the
``dnssec-validation`` option must be set to either ``yes`` or ``auto``.
.. warning::
Private keys are required for full disaster recovery. Back up key files in a
safe location and protect them from unauthorized access. Anyone with
access to the private key can create fake but seemingly valid DNS data.
When ``dnssec-validation`` is set to ``auto``, a trust anchor for the
DNS root zone is automatically used. This trust anchor is provided
as part of BIND and is kept up to date using :rfc:`5011` key management.
When ``dnssec-validation`` is set to ``yes``, DNSSEC validation
only occurs if at least one trust anchor has been explicitly configured
in :iscman:`named.conf`, using a ``trust-anchors`` statement (or the
``managed-keys`` and ``trusted-keys`` statements, both deprecated).
.. _dnssec_kasp:
When ``dnssec-validation`` is set to ``no``, DNSSEC validation does not
occur.
Fully Automated (Key and Signing Policy)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The default is ``auto`` unless BIND is built with
``configure --disable-auto-validation``, in which case the default is
``yes``.
Key and Signing Policy (KASP) is a method of configuration that describes
how to maintain DNSSEC signing keys and how to sign the zone.
The keys specified in ``trust-anchors`` are copies of DNSKEY RRs for zones that are
used to form the first link in the cryptographic chain of trust. Keys configured
with the keyword ``static-key`` or ``static-ds`` are loaded directly into the
table of trust anchors, and can only be changed by altering the
configuration. Keys configured with ``initial-key`` or ``initial-ds`` are used
to initialize :rfc:`5011` trust anchor maintenance, and are kept up-to-date
automatically after the first time :iscman:`named` runs.
This is the recommended, fully automated way to sign and maintain DNS zones. For
most use cases users can simply use the built-in default policy, which applies
up-to-date DNSSEC practices:
``trust-anchors`` is described in more detail later in this document.
.. code-block:: none
:emphasize-lines: 4
BIND 9 does not verify signatures on load, so zone keys
for authoritative zones do not need to be specified in the configuration
file.
zone "dnssec.example" {
type primary;
file "dnssec.example.db";
dnssec-policy default;
};
After DNSSEC is established, a typical DNSSEC configuration looks
something like the following. It has one or more public keys for the
root, which allows answers from outside the organization to be validated.
It also has several keys for parts of the namespace that the
organization controls. These are here to ensure that :iscman:`named` is immune
to compromised security in the DNSSEC components of parent zones.

This single line is sufficient to create the necessary signing keys, and generate
``DNSKEY``, ``RRSIG``, and ``NSEC`` records for the zone. BIND also takes
care of any DNSSEC maintenance for this zone, including replacing signatures
that are about to expire and managing :ref:`key_rollovers`.
.. note::
``dnssec-policy`` needs write access to the zone. Please see
:ref:`dnssec_policy` for more details about implications for zone storage.
None of the keys listed in this example are valid. In particular, the
root key is not valid.
The default policy creates one key that is used to sign the complete zone,
and uses ``NSEC`` to enable authenticated denial of existence (a secure way
to tell which records do not exist in a zone). This policy is recommended
and typically does not need to be changed.
When DNSSEC validation is enabled and properly configured, the resolver
rejects any answers from signed, secure zones which fail to
validate, and returns SERVFAIL to the client.
If needed, a custom policy can be defined by adding a ``dnssec-policy`` statement
into the configuration:
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.
.. code-block:: none
.. note::
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.
dnssec-policy "custom" {
dnskey-ttl 600;
keys {
ksk lifetime P1Y algorithm ecdsap384sha384;
zsk lifetime 60d algorithm ecdsap384sha384;
};
nsec3param iterations 0 optout no salt-length 0;
};
If the validator *can* prove that the zone is insecure, then the
response is accepted. However, if it cannot, the validator must assume an
insecure response to be a forgery; it rejects the response and logs
an error.
This ``custom`` policy, for example:
The logged error reads "insecurity proof failed" and "got insecure
response; parent indicates it should be secure."
- uses a very short ``DNSKEY`` TTL (600 seconds),
- uses two keys to sign the zone: a Key Signing Key (KSK) to sign the key
related RRsets (``DNSKEY``, ``CDS``, and ``CDNSKEY``), and a Zone Signing
Key (ZSK) to sign the rest of the zone. The KSK is automatically
rotated after one year and the ZSK after 60 days.
Also:
- The configured keys have a lifetime set and use the ECDSAP384SHA384
algorithm.
- The last line instructs BIND to generate NSEC3 records for
:ref:`Proof of Non-Existence <advanced_discussions_proof_of_nonexistence>`,
using zero extra iterations and no salt. NSEC3 opt-out is disabled, meaning
insecure delegations also get an NSEC3 record.
For more information about KASP configuration see :ref:`dnssec_policy_grammar`.
The :ref:`dnssec_advanced_discussions` section in the DNSSEC Guide discusses the
various policy settings and may be useful for determining values for specific
needs.
Key Rollover
============
When using a ``dnssec-policy``, a key lifetime can be set to trigger
key rollovers. ZSK rollovers are fully automatic, but for KSK and CSK rollovers
a DS record needs to be submitted to the parent. See
:ref:`secure_delegation` for possible ways to do so.
Once the DS is in the parent (and the DS of the predecessor key is withdrawn),
BIND needs to be told that this event has happened. This can be done automatically
by configuring parental agents:
.. code-block:: none
:emphasize-lines: 5
zone "dnssec.example" {
type primary;
file "dnssec.example.db";
dnssec-policy default;
parental-agents { 192.0.2.1; };
};
Here one server, ``192.0.2.1``, is configured for BIND to send DS queries to,
to check the DS RRset for ``dnssec-example`` during key rollovers. This needs
to be a trusted server, because BIND does not validate the response.
If setting up a parental agent is undesirable, it is also possible to tell BIND that the
DS is published in the parent with:
:option:`rndc dnssec -checkds -key 12345 published dnssec.example. <rndc dnssec>`.
and the DS for the predecessor key has been removed with:
:option:`rndc dnssec -checkds -key 54321 withdrawn dnssec.example. <rndc dnssec>`.
where 12345 and 54321 are the key tags of the successor and predecessor key,
respectively.
To roll a key sooner than scheduled, or to roll a key that
has an unlimited lifetime, use:
:option:`rndc dnssec -rollover -key 12345 dnssec.example. <rndc dnssec>`.
To revert a signed zone back to an insecure zone, change
the zone configuration to use the built-in "insecure" policy. Detailed
instructions are described in :ref:`revert_to_unsigned`.
.. _dnssec_dynamic_zones:
DNSSEC, Dynamic Zones, and Automatic Signing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manual Key Management
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Converting From Insecure to Secure
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. warning::
The method described here allows full control over the keys used to sign
the zone. This is required only for very special cases and is generally
discouraged. Under normal circumstances, please use :ref:`dnssec_kasp`.
A zone can be changed from insecure to secure in three ways: using a
dynamic DNS update, via the ``auto-dnssec`` zone option, or by setting a
DNSSEC policy for the zone with ``dnssec-policy``.
For any method, :iscman:`named` must be configured so that it can see
the ``K*`` files which contain the public and private parts of the keys
that are used to sign the zone. These files are generated
by :iscman:`dnssec-keygen`, or created when needed by :iscman:`named` if
``dnssec-policy`` is used. Keys should be placed in the
key-directory, as specified in :iscman:`named.conf`:
.. _dnssec_dynamic_zones_multisigner_model:
Multi-Signer Model
==================
Dynamic zones provide the ability to sign a zone by multiple providers, meaning
each provider signs and serves the same zone independently. Such a setup requires
some coordination between providers when it comes to key rollovers, and may be
better suited to be configured with ``auto-dnssec allow;``. This permits keys to
be updated and the zone to be re-signed only if the user issues the command
:option:`rndc sign zonename <rndc sign>`.
A zone can also be configured with ``auto-dnssec maintain``, which automatically
adjusts the zone's DNSSEC keys on a schedule according to the key timing
metadata. However, keys still need to be generated separately, for
example with :iscman:`dnssec-keygen`.
Of course, dynamic zones can also use ``dnssec-policy`` to fully automate DNSSEC
maintenance. The next sections assume that more key
management control is needed, and describe how to use dynamic DNS update to perform
various DNSSEC operations.
.. _dnssec_dynamic_zones_enabling_dnssec:
Enabling DNSSEC Manually
========================
As an alternative to fully automated zone signing using :ref:`dnssec-policy
<dnssec_kasp>`, a zone can be changed from insecure to secure using a dynamic
DNS update. :iscman:`named` must be configured so that it can see the ``K*``
files which contain the public and private parts of the `zone keys`_ that are
used to sign the zone. Key files should be placed in the ``key-directory``, as
specified in :iscman:`named.conf`:
::
zone example.net {
zone update.example {
type primary;
update-policy local;
file "dynamic/example.net/example.net";
key-directory "dynamic/example.net";
auto-dnssec allow;
file "dynamic/update.example.db";
key-directory "keys/update.example/";
};
If one KSK and one ZSK DNSKEY key have been generated, this
configuration causes all records in the zone to be signed with the
ZSK, and the DNSKEY RRset to be signed with the KSK. An NSEC
chain is generated as part of the initial signing process.
If there are both a KSK and a ZSK available (or a CSK), this configuration causes the
zone to be signed. An ``NSEC`` chain is generated as part of the initial signing
process.
With ``dnssec-policy``, it is possible to specify which keys should be
KSK and/or ZSK. To sign all records with a key, a CSK must be specified.
For example:
In any secure zone which supports dynamic updates, :iscman:`named` periodically
re-signs RRsets which have not been re-signed as a result of some update action.
The signature lifetimes are adjusted to spread the re-sign load over time rather
than all at once.

Note that the ``NSEC3PARAM`` record does not show up until :iscman:`named` has
had a chance to build/remove the relevant chain. A private type record is
created to record the state of the operation (see below for more details), and
is removed once the operation completes.
While the initial signing and NSEC/NSEC3 chain generation is happening,
The ``NSEC3`` chain is generated and the ``NSEC3PARAM`` record is added before
the ``NSEC`` chain is destroyed.
While the initial signing and ``NSEC``/``NSEC3`` chain generation are occurring,
other updates are possible as well.
Fully Automatic Zone Signing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A new ``NSEC3PARAM`` record can be added via dynamic update. When the new
``NSEC3`` chain has been generated, the ``NSEC3PARAM`` flag field is set to
zero. At that point, the old ``NSEC3PARAM`` record can be removed. The old
chain is removed after the update request completes.
To enable automatic signing, set a ``dnssec-policy`` or add the
``auto-dnssec`` option to the zone statement in :iscman:`named.conf`.
``auto-dnssec`` has two possible arguments: ``allow`` or ``maintain``.
:iscman:`named` only supports creating new ``NSEC3`` chains where all the
``NSEC3`` records in the zone have the same ``OPTOUT`` state. :iscman:`named`
supports updates to zones where the ``NSEC3`` records in the chain have mixed
``OPTOUT`` state. :iscman:`named` does not support changing the ``OPTOUT``
state of an individual ``NSEC3`` record; if the ``OPTOUT`` state of an
individual ``NSEC3`` needs to be changed, the entire chain must be changed.
With ``auto-dnssec allow``, :iscman:`named` can search the key directory for
keys matching the zone, insert them into the zone, and use them to sign
the zone. It does so only when it receives an
:option:`rndc sign zonename <rndc sign>`.
To switch back to ``NSEC``, use :iscman:`nsupdate` to remove any ``NSEC3PARAM``
records. The ``NSEC`` chain is generated before the ``NSEC3`` chain is removed.
``auto-dnssec maintain`` includes the above functionality, but also
automatically adjusts the zone's DNSKEY records on a schedule according to
the keys' timing metadata. (See :ref:`man_dnssec-keygen` and
:ref:`man_dnssec-settime` for more information.)
.. _dnssec_dynamic_zones_dnskey_rollovers:
``dnssec-policy`` is similar to ``auto-dnssec maintain``, but
``dnssec-policy`` also automatically creates new keys when necessary. In
addition, any configuration related to DNSSEC signing is retrieved from the
policy, ignoring existing DNSSEC :iscman:`named.conf` options.
DNSKEY Rollovers
================
:iscman:`named` periodically searches the key directory for keys matching
the zone; if the keys' metadata indicates that any change should be
made to the zone - such as adding, removing, or revoking a key - then that
action is carried out. By default, the key directory is checked for
changes every 60 minutes; this period can be adjusted with
``dnssec-loadkeys-interval``, up to a maximum of 24 hours. The
:option:`rndc loadkeys` command forces :iscman:`named` to check for key updates immediately.
To perform key rollovers via a dynamic update, the ``K*`` files for the new keys
must be added so that :iscman:`named` can find them. The new ``DNSKEY`` RRs can
then be added via dynamic update. When the zones are being signed, they are
signed with the new key set; when the signing is complete, the private type
records are updated so that the last octet is non-zero.
If keys are present in the key directory the first time the zone is
loaded, the zone is signed immediately, without waiting for an
:option:`rndc sign` or :option:`rndc loadkeys` command. Those commands can still be
used when there are unscheduled key changes.
If this is for a KSK, the parent and any trust anchor repositories of the new
KSK must be informed.
When new keys are added to a zone, the TTL is set to match that of any
existing DNSKEY RRset. If there is no existing DNSKEY RRset, the
TTL is set to the TTL specified when the key was created (using the
:option:`dnssec-keygen -L` option), if any, or to the SOA TTL.
The maximum TTL in the zone must expire before removing the old ``DNSKEY``. If
it is a KSK that is being updated, the DS RRset in the parent must also be
updated and its TTL allowed to expire. This ensures that all clients are able to
verify at least one signature when the old ``DNSKEY`` is removed.
To sign the zone using NSEC3 instead of NSEC, submit an
NSEC3PARAM record via dynamic update prior to the scheduled publication
and activation of the keys. The OPTOUT bit for the NSEC3 chain can be set
in the flags field of the NSEC3PARAM record. The
NSEC3PARAM record does not appear in the zone immediately, but it is
stored for later reference. When the zone is signed and the NSEC3
chain is completed, the NSEC3PARAM record appears in the zone.
The old ``DNSKEY`` can be removed via ``UPDATE``, taking care to specify the
correct key. :iscman:`named` cleans out any signatures generated by the old
key after the update completes.
Using the ``auto-dnssec`` option requires the zone to be configured to
allow dynamic updates, by adding an ``allow-update`` or
``update-policy`` statement to the zone configuration. If this has not
been done, the configuration fails.
.. _dnssec_dynamic_zones_going_insecure:
Private Type Records
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Going Insecure
==============
The state of the signing process is signaled by private type records
(with a default type value of 65534). When signing is complete, those
records with a non-zero initial octet have a non-zero value for the final octet.
To convert a signed zone to unsigned using dynamic DNS, delete all the
``DNSKEY`` records from the zone apex using :iscman:`nsupdate`. All signatures,
``NSEC`` or ``NSEC3`` chains, and associated ``NSEC3PARAM`` records are removed
automatically when the zone is supposed to be re-signed.
If the first octet of a private type record is non-zero, the
record indicates either that the zone needs to be signed with the key matching
the record, or that all signatures that match the record should be
removed. Here are the meanings of the different values of the first octet:
This requires the ``dnssec-secure-to-insecure`` option to be set to ``yes`` in
:iscman:`named.conf`.
In addition, if the ``auto-dnssec maintain`` or a ``dnssec-policy`` is used, it
should be removed or changed to ``allow`` instead; otherwise it will re-sign.
.. _dnssec_tools:
Manual Signing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are several tools available to manually sign a zone.
.. warning::
Please note manual procedures are available mainly for backwards
compatibility and should be used only by expert users with specific needs.
To set up a DNSSEC secure zone manually, a series of steps
must be followed. Please see chapter
:ref:`advanced_discussions_manual_key_management_and_signing` in the
:doc:`dnssec-guide` for more information.
Monitoring with Private Type Records
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The state of the signing process is signaled by private type records (with a
default type value of 65534). When signing is complete, those records with a
non-zero initial octet have a non-zero value for the final octet.
If the first octet of a private type record is non-zero, the record indicates
either that the zone needs to be signed with the key matching the record, or
that all signatures that match the record should be removed. Here are the
meanings of the different values of the first octet:
- algorithm (octet 1)
- key id in network order (octet 2 and 3)
- key ID in network order (octet 2 and 3)
- removal flag (octet 4)
- complete flag (octet 5)
Only records flagged as "complete" can be removed via dynamic update; attempts
to remove other private type records are silently ignored.
If the first octet is zero (this is a reserved algorithm number that
should never appear in a DNSKEY record), the record indicates that
changes to the NSEC3 chains are in progress. The rest of the record
contains an NSEC3PARAM record, while the flag field tells what operation to
perform based on the flag bits:

DNSKEY Rollovers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. _secure_delegation:
As with insecure-to-secure conversions, DNSSEC keyrolls can be done
in two ways: using a dynamic DNS update, or via the ``auto-dnssec`` zone
option.
Secure Delegation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dynamic DNS Update Method
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Once a zone is signed on the authoritative servers, the last remaining step
is to establish chain of trust [#validation]_ between the parent zone
(``example.``) and the local zone (``dnssec.example.``).
To perform key rollovers via a dynamic update, the ``K*``
files for the new keys must be added so that :iscman:`named` can find them.
The new DNSKEY RRs can then be added via dynamic update. :iscman:`named` then causes the
zone to be signed with the new keys; when the signing is complete, the
private type records are updated so that the last octet is non-zero.
Generally the procedure is:
If this is for a KSK, the parent and any trust anchor
repositories of the new KSK must be informed.
- **Wait** for stale data to expire from caches. The amount of time required
is equal to the maximum TTL value used in the zone before signing. This
step ensures that unsigned data expire from caches and resolvers do not get
confused by missing signatures.
- Insert/update DS records in the parent zone (``dnssec.example. DS`` record).
The maximum TTL in the zone must expire before removing the
old DNSKEY. If it is a KSK that is being updated,
the DS RRset in the parent must also be updated and its TTL allowed to expire. This
ensures that all clients are able to verify at least one signature
when the old DNSKEY is removed.
There are multiple ways to update DS records in the parent zone. Refer to the
documentation for the parent zone to find out which options are applicable to
a given case zone. Generally the options are, from most- to least-recommended:
The old DNSKEY can be removed via UPDATE, taking care to specify the
correct key. :iscman:`named` cleans out any signatures generated by the
old key after the update completes.
- Automatically update the DS record in the parent zone using
``CDS``/``CDNSKEY`` records automatically generated by BIND. This requires
support for :rfc:`7344` in either parent zone, registry, or registrar. In
that case, configure BIND to :ref:`monitor DS records in the parent
zone <cds_cdnskey>` and everything will happen automatically at the right
time.
- Query the zone for automatically generated ``CDS`` or ``CDNSKEY`` records using
:iscman:`dig`, and then insert these records into the parent zone using
the method specified by the parent zone (web form, e-mail, API, ...).
- Generate DS records manually using the :iscman:`dnssec-dsfromkey` utility on
`zone keys`_, and then insert them into the parent zone.
Automatic Key Rollovers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. [#validation] For further details on how the chain of trust is used in practice, see
:ref:`dnssec_12_steps` in the :doc:`dnssec-guide`.
When a new key reaches its activation date (as set by :iscman:`dnssec-keygen`
or :iscman:`dnssec-settime`), and if the ``auto-dnssec`` zone option is set to
``maintain``, :iscman:`named` automatically carries out the key rollover.
If the key's algorithm has not previously been used to sign the zone,
then the zone is fully signed as quickly as possible. However, if
the new key replaces an existing key of the same algorithm, the
zone is re-signed incrementally, with signatures from the old key
replaced with signatures from the new key as their signature
validity periods expire. By default, this rollover completes in 30 days,
after which it is safe to remove the old key from the DNSKEY RRset.
NSEC3PARAM Rollovers via UPDATE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The new NSEC3PARAM record can be added via dynamic update. When the new NSEC3
chain has been generated, the NSEC3PARAM flag field is set to zero. At
that point, the old NSEC3PARAM record can be removed. The old chain is
removed after the update request completes.
DNSSEC Validation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Converting From NSEC to NSEC3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The BIND resolver validates answers from authoritative servers by default. This
behavior is controlled by the configuration statement :ref:`dnssec-validation
<dnssec-validation-option>`.
Add a ``nsec3param`` option to your ``dnssec-policy`` and
run :option:`rndc reconfig`.
By default a trust anchor for the DNS root zone is used.
This trust anchor is provided as part of BIND and is kept up-to-date using
:ref:`rfc5011.support`.
Or use :iscman:`nsupdate` to add an NSEC3PARAM record.
.. note::
DNSSEC validation works "out of the box" and does not require
additional configuration. Additional configuration options are intended only
for special cases.
In both cases, the NSEC3 chain is generated and the NSEC3PARAM record is
added before the NSEC chain is destroyed.
To validate answers, the resolver needs at least one trusted starting point,
a "trust anchor." Essentially, trust anchors are copies of ``DNSKEY`` RRs for
zones that are used to form the first link in the cryptographic chain of trust.
Alternative trust anchors can be specified using :ref:`trust_anchors`, but
this setup is very unusual and is recommended only for expert use.
For more information, see :ref:`trust_anchors_description` in the
:doc:`dnssec-guide`.
Converting From NSEC3 to NSEC
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The BIND authoritative server does not verify signatures on load, so zone keys
for authoritative zones do not need to be specified in the configuration
file.
To do this, remove the ``nsec3param`` option from the ``dnssec-policy`` and
run :option:`rndc reconfig`.
Or use :iscman:`nsupdate` to remove all NSEC3PARAM records with a
zero flag field. The NSEC chain is generated before the NSEC3 chain
is removed.
Converting From Secure to Insecure
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To convert a signed zone to unsigned using dynamic DNS, delete all the
DNSKEY records from the zone apex using :iscman:`nsupdate`. All signatures,
NSEC or NSEC3 chains, and associated NSEC3PARAM records are removed
automatically. This takes place after the update request completes.
This requires the ``dnssec-secure-to-insecure`` option to be set to
``yes`` in :iscman:`named.conf`.
In addition, if the ``auto-dnssec maintain`` zone statement is used, it
should be removed or changed to ``allow`` instead; otherwise it will re-sign.
Periodic Re-signing
Validation Failures
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In any secure zone which supports dynamic updates, :iscman:`named`
periodically re-signs RRsets which have not been re-signed as a result of
some update action. The signature lifetimes are adjusted to
spread the re-sign load over time rather than all at once.
When DNSSEC validation is configured, the resolver rejects any answers from
signed, secure zones which fail to validate, and returns SERVFAIL to the
client.
NSEC3 and OPTOUT
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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.
:iscman:`named` only supports creating new NSEC3 chains where all the NSEC3
records in the zone have the same OPTOUT state. :iscman:`named` supports
UPDATES to zones where the NSEC3 records in the chain have mixed OPTOUT
state. :iscman:`named` does not support changing the OPTOUT state of an
individual NSEC3 record; if the
OPTOUT state of an individual NSEC3 needs to be changed, the entire chain must be changed.
For more information see :ref:`dnssec_troubleshooting`.
Coexistence With Unsigned (Insecure) Zones
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Zones not protected by DNSSEC are called "insecure," and these zones seamlessly
coexist with signed zones.
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 :ref:`NSEC/NSEC3 records
<advanced_discussions_proof_of_nonexistence>`, that the parent zone contains no
DS records for the child.
If the validator *can* prove that the zone is insecure, then the
response is accepted. However, if it cannot, the validator must assume an
insecure response to be a forgery; it rejects the response and logs
an error.
The logged error reads "insecurity proof failed" and "got insecure
response; parent indicates it should be secure."

This recipe describes how to revert from a signed zone (DNSSEC) back to
an unsigned (DNS) zone.
Whether the world thinks your zone is signed is determined by the
presence of DS records hosted by your parent zone; if there are no DS records,
the world sees your zone as unsigned. So reverting to unsigned is as
easy as removing all DS records from the parent zone.
Here is what :iscman:`named.conf` looks like when it is signed:
Below is an example showing how to remove DS records using the
.. code-block:: none
:emphasize-lines: 4
zone "example.com" IN {
type primary;
file "db/example.com.db";
dnssec-policy "default";
};
To indicate the reversion to unsigned, change the ``dnssec-policy`` line:
.. code-block:: none
:emphasize-lines: 4
zone "example.com" IN {
type primary;
file "db/example.com.db";
dnssec-policy "insecure";
};
Then use :option:`rndc reload` to reload the zone.
The "insecure" policy is a built-in policy (like "default"). It makes sure
the zone is still DNSSEC-maintained, to allow for a graceful transition to
unsigned. It also publishes the CDS and CDNSKEY DELETE records automatically
at the appropriate time.
If the parent zone allows management of DS records via CDS/CDNSKEY, as described in
:rfc:`8078`, the DS record should be removed from the parent automatically.
Otherwise, DS records can be removed via the registrar. Below is an example
showing how to remove DS records using the

Revert to Unsigned Step #4
If your parent allows managing DS record via CDS/CDNSKEY, as described in
:rfc:`5155`, you could add CDS/CDNSKEY DELETE records in your zone to signal
that the corresponding DS records from the parent zone needs to be removed.
If it is unclear which format the parent zone is expecting, you should publish
both CDS and CDNSKEY DELETE records.
To be on the safe side, wait a while before actually deleting
all signed data from your zone, just in case some validating resolvers
have cached information. After you are certain that all cached
information has expired (usually this means one TTL interval has passed),
you may reconfigure your zone.
Here is what :iscman:`named.conf` looks like when it is signed:
::
zone "example.com" IN {
type primary;
file "db/example.com.db";
allow-transfer { any; };
dnssec-policy "default";

Change your ``dnssec-policy`` line to indicate you want to revert to unsigned:
::
zone "example.com" IN {
type primary;
file "db/example.com.db";
allow-transfer { any; };

The "insecure" policy is a built-in policy (like "default"). It will make sure

(``/etc/bind/db/example.com.db``), the ZSK file name, and the KSK file name. This
also generates a plain text file ``/etc/bind/db/example.com.signed.db``,
which you can verify for correctness.
The :option:`-o <dnssec-signzone -o>` switch explicitly defines the domain name
(``example.com`` in this case), while the :option:`-f <dnssec-signzone -f>`
switch specifies the output file name. The second line has three parameters:
the unsigned zone name (``/etc/bind/db/example.com.db``), the ZSK file name,
and the KSK file name. This also generates a plain-text file
``/etc/bind/db/example.com.signed.db``, which can be manually verified for correctness.
Finally, you'll need to update :iscman:`named.conf` to load the signed version
:iscman:`dnssec-signzone` also produces keyset and dsset files. These are used
to provide the parent zone administrators with the ``DNSKEY`` records (or their
corresponding ``DS`` records) that are the secure entry point to the zone.
Finally, :iscman:`named.conf` needs to be updated to load the signed version
of the zone, which looks something like this:
::
.. code-block:: none
zone "example.com" IN {
type primary;
