When you do a restart or reconfig of named, or rndc loadkeys, this
triggers the key manager to run. The key manager will check if new
keys need to be created. If there is an active key, and key rollover
is scheduled far enough away, no new key needs to be created.
However, there was a bug that when you just start to sign your zone,
it takes a while before the KSK becomes an active key. An active KSK
has its DS submitted or published, but before the key manager allows
that, the DNSKEY needs to be omnipresent. If you restart named
or rndc loadkeys in quick succession when you just started to sign
your zone, new keys will be created because the KSK is not yet
considered active.
Fix is to check for introducing as well as active keys. These keys
all have in common that their goal is to become omnipresent.
Update dns_dnssec_keyactive to differentiate between the roles ZSK
and KSK. A key is active if it is signing but that differs per role.
A ZSK is signing if its ZRRSIG state is in RUMOURED or OMNIPRESENT,
a KSK is signing if its KRRSIG state is in RUMOURED or OMNIPRESENT.
This means that a key can be actively signing for one role but not
the other. Add checks in inline signing (zone.c and update.c) to
cover the case where a CSK is active in its KSK role but not the ZSK
role.
Add a couple of dst_key functions for determining hints that
consider key states if they are available.
- dst_key_is_unused:
A key has no timing metadata set other than Created.
- dst_key_is_published:
A key has publish timing metadata <= now, DNSKEY state in
RUMOURED or OMNIPRESENT.
- dst_key_is_active:
A key has active timing metadata <= now, RRSIG state in
RUMOURED or OMNIPRESENT.
- dst_key_is_signing:
KSK is_signing and is_active means different things than
for a ZSK. A ZSK is active means it is also signing, but
a KSK always signs its DNSKEY RRset but is considered
active if its DS is present (rumoured or omnipresent).
- dst_key_is_revoked:
A key has revoke timing metadata <= now.
- dst_key_is_removed:
A key has delete timing metadata <= now, DNSKEY state in
UNRETENTIVE or HIDDEN.
Introduce a new option '-s' for dnssec-settime that when manipulating
timing metadata, it also updates the key state file.
For testing purposes, add options to dnssec-settime to set key
states and when they last changed.
The dst code adds ways to write and read the new key states and
timing metadata. It updates the parsing code for private key files
to not parse the newly introduced metadata (these are for state
files only).
Introduce key goal (the state the key wants to be in).
When reading a key from file, you can set the DST_TYPE_STATE option
to also read the key state.
This expects the Algorithm and Length fields go above the metadata,
so update the write functionality to do so accordingly.
Introduce new DST metadata types for KSK, ZSK, Lifetime and the
timing metadata used in state files.
Add a number of metadata variables (lifetime, ksk and zsk role).
For the roles we add a new type of metadata (booleans).
Add a function to write the state of the key to a separate file.
Only write out known metadata to private file. With the
introduction of the numeric metadata "Lifetime", adjust the write
private key file functionality to only write out metadata it knows
about.
The three functions has been modeled after the arc4random family of
functions, and they will always return random bytes.
The isc_random family of functions internally use these CSPRNG (if available):
1. getrandom() libc call (might be available on Linux and Solaris)
2. SYS_getrandom syscall (might be available on Linux, detected at runtime)
3. arc4random(), arc4random_buf() and arc4random_uniform() (available on BSDs and Mac OS X)
4. crypto library function:
4a. RAND_bytes in case OpenSSL
4b. pkcs_C_GenerateRandom() in case PKCS#11 library
4724. [func] By default, BIND now uses the random number
functions provided by the crypto library (i.e.,
OpenSSL or a PKCS#11 provider) as a source of
randomness rather than /dev/random. This is
suitable for virtual machine environments
which have limited entropy pools and lack
hardware random number generators.
This can be overridden by specifying another
entropy source via the "random-device" option
in named.conf, or via the -r command line option;
however, for functions requiring full cryptographic
strength, such as DNSSEC key generation, this
cannot be overridden. In particular, the -r
command line option no longer has any effect on
dnssec-keygen.
This can be disabled by building with
"configure --disable-crypto-rand".

3705. [func] "configure --enable-native-pkcs11" enables BIND
to use the PKCS#11 API for all cryptographic
functions, so that it can drive a hardware service
module directly without the need to use a modified
OpenSSL as intermediary (so long as the HSM's vendor
provides a complete-enough implementation of the
PKCS#11 interface). This has been tested successfully
with the Thales nShield HSM and with SoftHSMv2 from
the OpenDNSSEC project. [RT #29031]

2988. [experimental] Added a "dlopen" DLZ driver, allowing the creation
of external DLZ drivers that can be loaded as
shared objects at runtime rather than linked with
named. Currently this is switched on via a
compile-time option, "configure --with-dlz-dlopen".
Note: the syntax for configuring DLZ zones
is likely to be refined in future releases.

2987. [func] Improve ease of configuring TKEY/GSS updates by
adding a "tkey-gssapi-keytab" option. If set,
updates will be allowed with any key matching
a principal in the specified keytab file.
"tkey-gssapi-credential" is no longer required
and is expected to be deprecated. (Contributed

[RT #22629]
increment the reference count.
Note: dns_tsigkey_createfromkey() callers should now
always call dst_key_free() rather than setting it
to NULL on success. [RT #22672]
will now ignore unrecognized fields when the
minor version number of the private key format
has been increased. It will reject any key with
the major version number increased. [RT #20310]
