Introduction The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities specification [RFC7671] explains how clients locate the TLSA record for a service of interest, starting with knowledge of the service's hostname, transport, and port number. These are concatenated, forming a name like _8080._tcp.example.com. It also specifies how clients should locate the TLSA records when one or more CNAME records are present, aliasing either the hostname or the initial TLSA query name, and the resulting server names used in TLS or DTLS. There are various DNS records other than CNAME that add indirection to the host resolution process, requiring similar specifications. Thus, [RFC7672] describes how DANE interacts with MX records, and [RFC7673] describes its interaction with SRV records. This document describes the interaction of DANE with indirection via Service Bindings [SVCB], i.e. SVCB-compatible records such as SVCB and HTTPS. It also explains how to use DANE with new TLS-based transports such as QUIC. 2. Conventions and Definitions 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. The contents of this document apply equally to all SVCB-compatible record types, such as SVCB and HTTPS records. For brevity, the abbrevation "SVCB" is used to refer to these record types generally. 3. Using DANE with Service Bindings (SVCB) Section 6 of [RFC7671] says: With protocols that support explicit transport redirection via DNS MX records, SRV records, or other similar records, the TLSA base domain is based on the redirected transport endpoint rather than the origin domain. This document applies the same logic to SVCB-compatible records. Specifically, if SVCB resolution was entirely secure (including any AliasMode records and/or CNAMEs), then for each connection attempt derived from a SVCB-compatible record, Schwartz & Evans Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 3] Internet-Draft SVCB-DANE July 2024 * The initial TLSA base domain MUST be the final SVCB TargetName used for this connection attempt. (Names appearing earlier in a resolution chain are not used.) * The transport prefix MUST be the transport of this connection attempt (possibly influenced by the "alpn" SvcParam). * The port prefix MUST be the port number of this connection attempt (possibly influenced by the "port" SvcParam). Resolution security is assessed according to the criteria in Section 4.1 of [RFC6698]. If the initial TLSA base domain is the start of a secure CNAME chain, clients MUST first try to use the end of the chain as the TLSA base domain, with fallback to the initial base domain, as described in Section 7 of [RFC7671]. However, domain owners SHOULD NOT place a CNAME record on a SVCB TargetName, as this arrangement is unusual, inefficient, and at risk for deprecation in a future revision. If any TLSA QNAME is aliased by a CNAME, clients MUST follow the TLSA CNAME to complete the resolution of the TLSA records. (This does not alter the TLSA base domain.) If a TLSA RRSet is securely resolved, the client MUST set the SNI to the TLSA base domain of the RRSet. In usage modes other than DANE- EE(3), the client MUST validate that the certificate covers this base domain, and MUST NOT require it to cover any other domain. If the client has SVCB-optional behavior (as defined in Section 3 of [SVCB]), it MUST use the standard DANE logic described in Section 4.1 of [RFC6698] when falling back to non-SVCB connection. 4. Adding a TLSA protocol prefix for QUIC Section 3 of [RFC6698] defines the protocol prefix used for constructing TLSA QNAMEs, and says: The transport names defined for this protocol are "tcp", "udp", and "sctp". When this text was written, there was exactly one TLS-based protocol defined for each of these transports. However, with the introduction of QUIC [RFC9000], there are now multiple TLS-derived protocols that can operate over UDP, even on the same port. To distinguish the availability and configuration of DTLS and QUIC, this document updates the above sentence as follows: Schwartz & Evans Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 4] Internet-Draft SVCB-DANE July 2024 The transport names defined for this protocol are "tcp" (TLS over TCP [RFC8446]), "udp" (DTLS [RFC9147]), "sctp" (TLS over SCTP [RFC3436]), and "quic" (QUIC [RFC9000]). 5. Operational considerations 5.1. Recommended configurations Service consumers are expected to use a CNAME or SVCB AliasMode record to point at provider-controlled records when possible, e.g.: alias.example. HTTPS 0 xyz.provider.example. www.alias.example. CNAME xyz.provider.example. xyz.provider.example. HTTPS 1 . alpn=h2 ... xyz.provider.example. A 192.0.2.1 _443._tcp.xyz.provider.example. TLSA ... If the service needs its own SvcParamKeys, it cannot use CNAME or AliasMode, so it publishes its own SVCB ServiceMode record with SvcParams that are compatible with the provider, e.g.: _dns.dns.example. HTTPS 1 xyz.provider.example. ( alpn=h2 ... dohpath=/doh{?dns} ) For ease of management, providers may want to alias various TLSA QNAMEs to a single RRSet: _443._tcp.xyz.provider.example. CNAME dane-central.provider.example. dane-central.provider.example. TLSA ... Any DANE certificate usage mode is compatible with SVCB, but the usage guidelines from Section 4 of [RFC7671] continue to apply. 5.2. Unintended pinning As noted in Section 6 of [RFC7671], DANE encounters operational difficulties when the TLSA RRset is published by an entity other than the service provider. For example, a customer might copy the TLSA records into their own zone, rather than publishing an alias to the TLSA RRset hosted in the service provider's zone. When the service subsequently rotates its TLS keys, DANE authentication will fail, resulting in an outage for this customer. Accordingly, zone owners MUST NOT publish TLSA records for public keys that are not under their control unless they have an explicit arrangement with the key holder. Schwartz & Evans Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 5] Internet-Draft SVCB-DANE July 2024 To prevent the above misconfiguration and ensure that TLS keys can be rotated freely, service operators MAY reject TLS connections whose SNI does not correspond to an approved TLSA base domain. Service Bindings also enable any third party consumer to publish fixed SvcParams for the service. This can cause an outage or service degradation if the service makes a backward-incompatible configuration change. Accordingly, zone owners should avoid publishing SvcParams for a TargetName that they do not control, and service operators should exercise caution when making incompatible configuration changes. 6. Security Considerations The use of TLSA records specified in this document is independent for each SVCB connection attempt. In environments where DANE is optional, this means that the client might use DANE for some connection attempts but not others when processing a single SVCB RRSet. This document only specifies the use of TLSA records when all relevant DNS records (including SVCB, TLSA, and CNAME records) were resolved securely. If any of these resolutions were insecure (as defined in Section 4.3 of [RFC4035]), the client MUST NOT rely on the TLSA record for connection security. However, if the client would otherwise have used an insecure plaintext transport, it MAY use an insecure resolution result to achieve opportunistic security. Certain protocols that can run over TLS, such as HTTP/1.0, do not confirm the name of the service after connecting. With DANE, these protocols are subject to an Unknown Key Share (UKS) attack, in which the client believes it is connecting to the attacker's domain, but is actually connecting to an unaffiliated victim domain [I-D.barnes-dane-uks-00]. Clients SHOULD NOT use DANE with vulnerable protocols. (HTTP/1.1 and later and encrypted DNS are not normally vulnerable to UKS attacks, but see Appendix A for some important exceptions.) 7. Examples The following examples demonstrate Service Binding interaction with TLSA base domain selection. All of the RRSets below are assumed fully-secure with all related DNSSEC record types omitted for brevity. Schwartz & Evans Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 6] Internet-Draft SVCB-DANE July 2024 7.1. HTTPS ServiceMode Given service URI https://api.example.com and record: api.example.com. HTTPS 1 . The TLSA QNAME is _443._tcp.api.example.com. 7.2. HTTPS AliasMode Given service URI https://api.example.com and records: api.example.com. HTTPS 0 svc4.example.net. svc4.example.net. HTTPS 0 xyz.cdn.example. xyz.cdn.example. A 192.0.2.1 The TLSA QNAME is _443._tcp.xyz.cdn.example. 7.3. QUIC and CNAME Given service URI https://www.example.com and records: www.example.com. CNAME api.example.com. api.example.com. HTTPS 1 svc4.example.net alpn=h2,h3 port=8443 svc4.example.net. CNAME xyz.cdn.example. If the connection attempt is using HTTP/3, the transport label is set to _quic; otherwise _tcp is used. The initial TLSA QNAME would be one of: * _8443._quic.xyz.cdn.example * _8443._tcp.xyz.cdn.example If no TLSA record is found, the fallback TLSA QNAME would be one of: * _8443._quic.svc4.example.net * _8443._tcp.svc4.example.net 7.4. DNS ServiceMode Given a DNS server dns.example.com and record: _dns.dns.example.com. SVCB 1 dns.my-dns-host.example. alpn=dot Schwartz & Evans Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 7] Internet-Draft SVCB-DANE July 2024 The TLSA QNAME is _853._tcp.dns.my-dns-host.example. The port and protocol are inferred from the "dot" ALPN value. 7.5. DNS AliasMode Given a DNS server dns.example.com and records: _dns.dns.example.com. SVCB 0 dns.my-dns-host.example. dns.my-dns-host.example. SVCB 1 . alpn=doq The TLSA QNAME is _853._quic.dns.my-dns-host.example. The port and protocol are inferred from the "doq" ALPN value. 7.6. New scheme ServiceMode Given service URI foo://api.example.com:8443 and record: _8443._foo.api.example.com. SVCB 1 api.example.com. The TLSA QNAME is _8443._$PROTO.api.example.com, where $PROTO is the appropriate value for the client-selected transport as discussed in Section 4 . 7.7. New scheme AliasMode Given service URI foo://api.example.com:8443 and records: _8443._foo.api.example.com. SVCB 0 svc4.example.net. svc4.example.net. SVCB 1 . svc4.example.net. A 192.0.2.1 The TLSA QNAME is _8443._$PROTO.svc4.example.net (with $PROTO as above). This is the same if the ServiceMode record is absent. 7.8. New protocols Given service URI foo://api.example.com:8443 and records: _8443._foo.api.example.com. SVCB 0 svc4.example.net. svc4.example.net. SVCB 3 . alpn=foo,bar port=8004 The TLSA QNAME is _8004._$PROTO1.svc4.example.net or _8004._$PROTO2.svc4.example.net, where $PROTO1 and $PROTO2 are the transport prefixes appropriate for "foo" and "bar" respectively. (Note that SVCB requires each ALPN to unambiguously indicate a transport.) Schwartz & Evans Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 8] Internet-Draft SVCB-DANE July 2024 8.

Unknown Key-Share Attacks In the Unknown Key-Share (UKS) Attack [I-D.barnes-dane-uks-00], a hostile domain ("attacker.example") claims the IP addresses and TLSA records of another domain ("victim.example"). A client who attempts to connect to "attacker.example" will actually be connecting to "victim.example". The client then sends some commands or requests over this connection. If the server rejects these requests, or if the attacker could have forwarded these requests itself, the attack confers no advantage. However, if the client issues commands that the attacker could not have issued, and the victim does not ignore these requests, then the attack could change state at the victim server, reveal confidential information to the attacker (e.g., via same-origin data sharing in the client), or waste resources. Here are some examples of requests that the attacker likely could not have issued themselves: Schwartz & Evans Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 11] Internet-Draft SVCB-DANE July 2024 * Requests authenticated using a TLS Client Certificate or other credential that is bound to the connection but not the domain. * Requests that are only permitted if they appear to come from a particular IP range. This section lists some protocols that can be used with SVCB, analyzes their vulnerability to this attack, and indicates any resulting restrictions on their use: * HTTP/0.9 and HTTP/1.0: *Vulnerable* - Clients MUST NOT use TLS Client Authentication with DANE and these protocol versions. o Example attack: "https://attacker.example/" fetches "/profile" in Javascript. The second request is directed to "victim.example" and authenticated by a client certificate, revealing the user's profile to the attacker. - Use of these protocol versions with DANE is NOT RECOMMENDED. * HTTP/1.1 and later: *Slightly Vulnerable* - The CONNECT method ([RFC9110], Section 3.6) MUST NOT be used on a connection authenticated with DANE. o Example attack: "attacker.example" advertises a CONNECT proxy service to existing customers of the "victim.example" proxy, which is access-controlled by client IP. To reduce its own operating costs, "attacker.example" uses UKS to send users back to "victim.example", resulting in the attacker's service appearing to work but silently consuming clients' transfer quota on "victim.example". - Clients MAY use all other methods with DANE, including Extended CONNECT [RFC8441]. These methods are defended from misdirection attacks by server verification of the Host or :authority header ([RFC9110], Section 7.4). * DNS over TLS, DTLS, or QUIC [RFC7858][RFC8094][RFC9250]: - For resolution: *Not Vulnerable* o DNS resolution does not change state at the server, reveal confidential information to the attacker, or waste significant resources. Schwartz & Evans Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 12] Internet-Draft SVCB-DANE July 2024 - For other uses: *Mitigation Required* o When using DNS for other purposes such as zone transfers [RFC9103], clients relying on DANE for server authentication MUST NOT use a client certificate that is authorized by multiple potentially hostile servers.
