Introduction The security of the SHA-1 algorithm [RFC3174] has been slowly diminishing over time as various forms of attacks have weakened its cryptographic underpinning. DNSSEC [RFC4033] [RFC4034] [RFC4035] originally made extensive use of SHA-1 as a cryptographic verification algorithm in RRSIG and Delegation Signer (DS) records, for example. Since then, multiple other signing algorithms with stronger cryptographic strength are now widely available for DS records (such as SHA-256 [RFC4509], SHA-384 ([RFC6605])) and for DNSKEY and RRSIG records (such as RSASHA256 ([RFC5702]), RSASHA512 ([RFC5702]), ECDSAP256SHA256 [RFC6605], ECDSAP384SHA384 [RFC6605], ED25519 [RFC8080], and ED448 [RFC8080]). Further, support for validating SHA-1 based signatures has been removed from some systems. As a result, SHA-1 is no longer fully interoperable in the context of DNSSEC. As adequate alternatives exist, its use is no longer advisable. This document thus deprecates the use of RSASHA1 and RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 for DNS Security Algorithms. 1.1. Requirements notation 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. Hardaker & Kumari Expires 15 November 2024 [Page 2] Internet-Draft MUST NOT DNSSEC with SHA-1 May 2024 2. Deprecating SHA-1 algorithms in DNSSEC The RSASHA1 [RFC4034], DSA-NSEC3-SHA1 [RFC5155], and RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 [RFC5155] algorithms MUST NOT be used when creating DNSKEY and RRSIG records. Validating resolvers SHOULD support validation using these algorithms but MAY treat RRSIG records created from DNSKEY records using these algorithms as an unsupported algorithm. 3. Security Considerations This document reduces the risk that a zone cannot be validated due to lack of SHA-1 support in a validator, by guiding signers to choose a more interoperable signing algorithm. 4. Operational Considerations Zone owners currently making use of SHA-1 based algorithms should immediately switch to algorithms with stronger cryptographic strengths, such as those listed in the introduction. 5. IANA Considerations IANA is requested to set the "Status" field of the "Digest Algorithms" registry [DS-IANA] for SHA-1 (1) to OPTIONAL. IANA is requested to set the "Recommended for DNSSEC Signing" column of the DNS Security Algorithm Numbers registry [DNSKEY-IANA] to MUST NOT: * RSASHA1 (5) * RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 (7) IANA is requested to set the "Recommended for DNSSEC Validation" column of the DNS Security Algorithm Numbers registry [DNSKEY-IANA] to SHOULD: * RSASHA1 (5) * RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 (7) 6.
