The IESG has received a request from the DNS PRIVate Exchange WG (dprive) to consider the following document: - 'Specification for DNS over Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS)' <draft-ietf-dprive-dnsodtls-12.txt> as Experimental RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2016-11-16. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract DNS queries and responses are visible to network elements on the path between the DNS client and its server. These queries and responses can contain privacy-sensitive information which is valuable to protect. This document proposes the use of Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) for DNS, to protect against passive listeners and certain active attacks. As latency is critical for DNS, this proposal also discusses mechanisms to reduce DTLS round trips and reduce DTLS handshake size. The proposed mechanism runs over port 853. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dprive-dnsodtls/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dprive-dnsodtls/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ dns-privacy mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dns-privacy
