1. Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the global global, hierarchically
distributed database for Internet Naming. The DNS has been extended
to use cryptographic keys and digital signatures for the verification
of the authenticity and integrity of its data. RFC 4033 [RFC4033],
RFC 4034 [RFC4034], and RFC 4035 [RFC4035] describe these DNS
Security Extensions, called DNSSEC.
RFC 4034 describes how to store DNSKEY and RRSIG resource records, records and
specifies a list of cryptographic algorithms to use. This document
extends that list with the signature and hash algorithms GOST R
34.10-2012 ([RFC7091]) and GOST R 34.11-2012 ([RFC6986]), and it
specifies how to store DNSKEY data and how to produce RRSIG resource
records with these algorithms.
Algorithms GOsudarstvennyy STandart(GOST)
GOST R 34.10-2012 and GOST R 34.11-2012 are Russian national
standards. Their cryptographic properties haven't been independently
verified.
Familiarity with DNSSEC and with GOST signature and hash algorithms
is assumed in this document.
Caution:
This specification is not a standard and does not have IETF community
consensus. It makes use of a cryptographic algorithm that is a
national standard for Russia. Neither the IETF nor the IRTF has
analyzed that algorithm for suitability for any given application,
and it may contain either intended or unintended weaknesses.
1.1. 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
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. DNSKEY Resource Records
The format of the DNSKEY RR can be found in RFC 4034 [RFC4034].
GOST R 34.10-2012 public keys are stored with the algorithm number
TBA1.
23.
According to RFC 7091 [RFC7091], a GOST R 34.10-2012 public key is a
point on the elliptic curve Q = (x,y). (x, y). The wire representation of a
public key MUST contain 64 octets, where the first 32 octets contain
the little-endian representation of x and the second 32 octets
contain the little-endian representation of y.
As RFC 6986 and RFC 7091 allows 2 allow two variants of the length of the
output hash and the signature and many variants of parameters of the
digital signature, for the purpose of this document we use the
256-bit variant of the digital signature algorithm, corresponding
with the 256-bit variant of the digest algorithm. We select the
parameters for the digital signature algorithm to be id-tc26-gost-3410-2012-256-paramSetA id-tc26-gost-
3410-2012-256-paramSetA as specified in RFC 7836 [RFC7836]. [RFC7836]; this
document refers to it as "parameter set A".
2.1. Using a Public Key with Existing Cryptographic Libraries
At the time of this writing, existing GOST-aware cryptographic
libraries are capable of reading GOST R 34.10-2012 public keys via a
generic X.509 API if the key is encoded according to RFC 9215
[RFC9215], Section 4.
To make this encoding from the wire format of a GOST R 34.10-2012
public key with the parameters used in this document, prepend the 64
octets of key data with the following 30-byte sequence:
0x30 0x5c 0x30 0x17 0x06 0x08 0x2a 0x85
0x03 0x07 0x01 0x01 0x01 0x01 0x30 0x0b
0x06 0x09 0x2a 0x85 0x03 0x07 0x01 0x02
0x01 0x01 0x01 0x03 0x41 0x00
These bytes provide the following ASN.1 structure suitable for
parsing by cryptographic toolkits:
0 92: SEQUENCE {
2 23: SEQUENCE {
4 8: OBJECT IDENTIFIER '1 2 643 7 1 1 1 1'
14 11: SEQUENCE {
16 9: OBJECT IDENTIFIER '1 2 643 7 1 2 1 1 1'
: }
: }
27 65: BIT STRING
The OIDs in the structure above represent a GOST R 34.10-2012 public
key with 256 bits a 256-bit private key length algorithm and Parameter parameter set A. The
structure itself represents SubjectPublicKeyInfo field of an X.509
certificate as defined in RFC 5280 [RFC5280], Section 4.1. 4.1
2.2. GOST DNSKEY RR Example
Given a private key with the following value:
Private-key-format: v1.2
Algorithm: TBA1 23 (ECC-GOST12)
Gost12Asn1: MD4CAQAwFwYIKoUDBwEBAQEwCwYJKoUDBwECAQEBBCD/Mw9o6R5lQHJ13jz0
W+C1tdsS4W7RJn04rk9MGJq3Hg== MD4CAQAwFwYIKoUDBwEBAQEwCwYJKoUDBwECAQEBBCD/Mw9o6R5lQHJ13
jz0W+C1tdsS4W7RJn04rk9MGJq3Hg==
The following DNSKEY RR stores a DNS zone key for example:
example. 600 IN DNSKEY 256 3 TBA1 23 (
XGiiHlKUJd5fSeAK5O3L4tUNCPxs4pGqum6wKbqjdkqu
IQ8nOXrilXZ9HcY8b2AETkWrtWHfwvJD4twPPJFQSA==
) ;{id = 47355 (zsk), size = 512b}
The private key here is presented in PrivateKeyInfo ASN.1 structure,
as described in RFC5208 [RFC5208], RFC 5958 [RFC5958], Section 5.
Public 2.
The public key can be calculated from the private key using algorithm
described in RFC 7091 [RFC7091].
[RFC Editor note: Note: Algorithm numbers 23 and 5 are used as an
example in this document, as actual numbers have not yet been
assigned. If the assigned values will differ, the example keys and
signatures will have to be recalculated before the official
publication of the RFC.]
3. RRSIG Resource Records
The value of the signature field in the RRSIG RR follows RFC 7091
[RFC7091] and is calculated as follows. The values for the RDATA
fields that precede the signature data are specified in RFC 4034
[RFC4034].
hash = GOSTR3411-2012(data)
where "data" is the wire format data of the resource record set that
is signed, as specified in RFC 4034 [RFC4034].
The signature is calculated from the hash according to the GOST R
34.10-2012 standard,
34.10-2012, and its wire format is compatible with RFC 7091
[RFC7091].
3.1. RRSIG RR Example
Consider a given RRset consisting of one MX RR to be signed with the
private key described in Section 2.2 of this document:
example. 600 IN MX 10 mail.example.
Setting the inception date to 2022-10-06 12:32:30 UTC and the
expiration date to 2022-11-03 12:32:30 UTC, the following signature
RR will be valid:
example. 600 IN RRSIG MX TBA1 23 1 600 20221103123230 (
20221006123230 47355 example.
EuLO0Qpn6zT1pzj9T2H5AWjcgzfmjNiK/vj811bExa0V
HMOVD9ma8rpf0B+D+V4Q0CWu1Ayzu+H/SyndnOWGxw==
)
The GOST R 34.10-2012 signature algorithm uses random (pseudorandom)
integer k as described in Section 6.1 of RFC 7091 [RFC7091]. The
following value for k was used to produce the signature example.
k = 8BBD0CE7CAF3FC1C2503DF30D13ED5DB75EEC44060FA22FB7E29628407C1E34
This value for k MUST NOT be used when computing GOST R 34.10-2012
signatures. It is provided only so the above signature example can
be reproduced. The actual signature value will differ between
signature calculations.
4. DS Resource Records
The GOST R 34.11-2012 digest algorithm is denoted in DS RRs by the
digest type TBA2. 5. The wire format of a digest value is compatible with
RFC 6986 [RFC6986].
4.1. DS RR Example
For Key Signing Key (KSK):
example. IN DNSKEY 257 3 TBA1 23 (
p8Req8DLJOfPymO5vExuK4gCcihF5N1YL7veCJ47av+w
h/qs9yJpD064k02rYUHfWnr7IjvJlbn3Z0sTZe9GRQ==
) ;{id = 29468 (ksk), size = 512b}
The DS RR will be:
example. IN DS 29468 TBA1 TBA2 23 5 (
6033725b0ccfc05d1e9d844d49c6cf89
0b13d5eac9439189947d5db6c8d1c1ec
)
5. Operational Considerations
5.1. Key Sizes
The key size of GOST R 34.10-2012 public keys conforming to this
specification MUST be 512 bits according to RFC 7091 [RFC7091].
5.2. Signature Sizes
The size of a GOST R 34.10-2012 signature conforming to this
specification MUST be 512 bits according to RFC 7091 [RFC7091].
5.3. Digest Sizes
The size of a GOST R 34.11-2012 digest conforming to this
specification MUST be 256 bits according to RFC 6986 [RFC6986].
6. Implementation Considerations
The support of this cryptographic suite in DNSSEC-aware systems is
OPTIONAL. According to RFC6840 RFC 6840 [RFC6840], Section 5.2 5.2, systems that
do not support these algorithms MUST ignore the RRSIG, DNSKEY DNSKEY, and DS
resource records associated with the GOST R 34.10-2012 digital
signature algorithm.
[(To be removed in RFC). To check the correctness of the
implementation, authors recommend using OpenSSL 1.1.1 or 3.0.x
series, a fork of ldns available at
https://github.com/beldmit/ldns/tree/gost2012, and a reference
implementation of GOST crypto algorithms available at
https://github.com/gost-engine/engine.]

8. Security Considerations
It is recommended to use a dual KSK algorithm signed zone until GOST-
aware DNSSEC software become becomes more widespread, unless GOST-only
cryptography is required. to be used. Otherwise, GOST-signed zones may be
considered unsigned by the DNSSEC software currently in use.
Currently, the cryptographic resistance of the GOST R 34.10-2012
digital signature algorithm
Like all algorithms, it is estimated as 2**128 operations of
multiple elliptic curve point computations on prime modulus of order
2**256.
Currently, the cryptographic collision resistance of the possible that a significant flaw could be
discovered with GOST R
34.11-2012 hash algorithm is estimated as 2**128 operations of
computations of a step hash function.
