Abstract
This document describes a new resource record for DNS. This record
may be used to store public keys for use in IPsec systems.
This record replaces the functionality of the sub-type #1 of the KEY
Resource Record, which has been proposed to be obsoleted by [1].

1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
Overview.

2. Storage formats
The IPSECKEY resource record (RR) is used to publish a public key
that is to be associated with a Domain Name System (DNS) name. It
will be a public key as only public keys are stored in the DNS. This
can be the public key of a host, network, or application (in the case
of per-port keying).
An IPSECKEY RR is, like any other RR, authenticated by a SIG RR.
It is expected that there will often be multiple resource records of
the IPSECKEY type. This will be due to the need to rollover keys,
and due to the presence of multiple gateways.
The type number for the IPSECKEY RR is 45 (IANA TBD).
Richardson Expires August 24, 2003 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft ipsecrr February 2003
3. IPSECKEY RDATA format
The RDATA for an IPSECKEY RR consists of a precedence value, a public
key (and algorithm type), and an optional gateway address.
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3

3.1 RDATA format - algo type
The algorithm type ("algo") field indicates the type of key that is
present in the public key field. Valid values are:
0 No key is present.
1 A RSA key is present, in the format defined in
2 A DSA key is present, in the format defined in
3.2 RDATA format - precedence
This is an 8-bit precedence for this record. This is interpreted in
a similar way to the PREFERENCE field described in section 3.3.9 of
[3].
3.3 RDATA format - RSA public key
If the algorithm type has the value 1, then public key portion
contains an RSA public key, encoded as described in secion 2 of [8],
and repeated here:
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+- modulus /
| /
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-/
RFC2065 limited the exponent and modulus to 2552 bits in length, and
RFC3110 to 4096 bits. No such limit is specified here for the
purposes of encoding and decoding. The length in octets of the
public exponent length is represented as one octet if it is in the
range of 1 to 255 and by a zero octet followed by a two octet
unsigned length if it is longer than 255 bytes. The public key
modulus field is a multiprecision unsigned integer. The length of
the modulus can be determined from the RDLENGTH and the preceding
RDATA fields including the exponent.
Leading zero bytes are prohibited in the exponent and modulus.
3.4 RDATA format - DSA public key
If the algorithm type has the value 2, then public key portion
contains an DSA public key, encoded as described in [7].
3.5 RDATA format - gateway
The gateway field indicates a gateway to which an IPsec tunnel may be
created in order to reach the entity holding this resource record.
The length of this field is the size of the data portion minus the
public key length, and the 4 bytes of header. The gateway field may
be absent.
The gateway field is a string. It is most commonly a simple fully
qualified domain name (FQDN). IP version 4 and IP version 6
addresses may be represented using names from in-addr.arpa. and
ip6.arpa.
The gateway field may also include a @-character in it. Either in
the form @FQDN, or user@FQDN. In this context, it does not reference
a single destination, but just an identifier that will be used when
doing key negotiations. This may be used in the context where the
gateway does not have a permanent IP address, but has permanent
address space behind it, and will be initiating connections only.

4. Presentation formats
4.1 Representation of IPSECKEY RRs
IPSECKEY RRs may appear as lines in a zone data master file. The
precedence field is mandatory. While both the gateway and public key
fields are optional, it is illegal for neither to be present.
As the IPv4, IPv6 and FQDN references to the gateway are mutually
exclusive, they can share a position. If no gateway is to be
indicated, then the special tokens of either "-" or "none" may be
used.
IPv4 addresses are to be represented as a dotted decimal quad, with
no leading zeroes. IPv6 addresses are to be presented as specified
in section 2.2 of [4].
