Hi,

 

There are a few Enterprise use-cases requiring the need for DoH
Identity/Authentication.

1.      Enterprise DNS Security (DNS Filtering).
In this scenario, a DoH identity is needed so as to enforce the right
Enterprise Policy for that device/user.

Additionally, any reporting or remediation requires a way to pivot back to
the device & user to take corrective action. Their could be two levels of
identity (one that gets you a policy, but keeps individual identity private
- and one that binds directly to a user & device)

2.      Enterprise Private DNS is accessible from anywhere via an Auth-DoH

te-server-names>  connection.  This allows for Enterprise Private Access to
be possible without the need for additional DNS for external proxy / vpn use
cases.
3.      Additionally, I believe some ad-blocking services and other
DoH-based service-offerings are in need of a DoH identity/authentication to
apply policies as well.  

 

Ideally, device and user identity/authentication are independent - this is
because you might have users with multiple devices or a single device with
multiple users.

 

I am aware that today some 3rd party DoH client implementations are using
DoH-URI-encoding for an Identity (weak binding).  
I am also aware of a DoH service that is using mTLS (mutual TLS auth) -
(strong binding) to achieve a similar outcome.
Those vendors should chime in on their needs as well, if possible.

We have had some initial discussions with various vendors on this topic and
have come to realize that the proposed approaches are all different.
Hopefully we can work together, across vendors, to decide on a common
approach to DoH Identity/Authentication so as to avoid fragmentation in this
area.  Preferably via a method that allows for device and user identity/auth
to be independently conveyed.

I would appreciate your thoughts/comments on this.

 

-Vinny
