Does changing that noun phrase to Authorization Domain Name address your 
concern?

I understood that my comment on the phrase "domain being validated" in the 
appendix would be addressed in this ballot?

I expect the email address would be the entirety of the RDATA for the RR, with 
no additional formatting.  I can make that explicit if you think it would be 
helpful.

Hi Tim,

Can you provide an example of how a TXT record would be formatted to convey the 
email address (as was done for the CAA records)? It’s not clear to me based on 
the description given.

 

Thanks,

Ballot SC4: CAA Contact Property and Associated E-mail Validation Methods

Purpose of Ballot: Increasingly, contact information is not available in WHOIS 
due to concerns about potential GDPR violations.  This ballot specifies a 
method by which domain holders can publish their contact information via DNS, 
and how CAs can use that information for validating domain control.

The following motion has been proposed by Tim Hollebeek of DigiCert and 
endorsed by Bruce Morton of Entrust and Doug Beattie of GlobalSign.

--- MOTION BEGINS ---

This ballot modifies the “Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management 
of Publicly-Trusted Certificates” as follows, based on Version 1.6.0:

Add Section 3.2.2.4.13: Domain Owner Email in CAA

Confirm the Applicant's control over the FQDN by (i) sending an email to a DNS 
domain name holder, (ii) including a Random Value in the email, and (iii) 
receiving a confirming response utilizing the Random Value. The CA MUST send 
the email to an email address found in the CAA Contact property record of the 
Authorization Domain Name as defined in Appendix B.

 

Each email MAY confirm control of multiple FQDNs, provided the email address 
used is a DNS contact email address for each ADN being validated.

 

The Random Value SHALL be unique in each email. The email MAY be re-sent in its 
entirety, including the re-use of the Random Value, provided that its entire 
contents and recipient SHALL remain unchanged. The Random Value SHALL remain 
valid for use in a confirming response for no more than 30 days from its 
creation. The CPS MAY specify a shorter validity period for Random Values.

 

Note: Once the FQDN has been validated using this method, the CA MAY also issue 
Certificates for other FQDNs that end with all the labels of the validated 
FQDN. This method is suitable for validating Wildcard Domain Names.

Add Section 3.2.2.4.14: Domain Owner Email published in TXT record

 

Confirm the Applicant's control over the FQDN by (i) sending an email to a DNS 
domain name holder, (ii) including a Random Value in the email, and (iii) 
receiving a confirming response utilizing the Random Value. The CA MUST send 
the email to an email address found in the DNS TXT record of the Authorization 
Domain Name in the format defined in Appendix B.

 

Each email MAY confirm control of multiple FQDNs, provided the email address 
used is a DNS contact email address for each ADN being validated.

The Random Value SHALL be unique in each email. The email MAY be re-sent in its 
entirety, including the re-use of the Random Value, provided that its entire 
contents and recipient SHALL remain unchanged. The Random Value SHALL remain 
valid for use in a confirming response for no more than 30 days from its 
creation. The CPS MAY specify a shorter validity period for Random Values.

 

Note: Once the FQDN has been validated using this method, the CA MAY also issue 
Certificates for other FQDNs that end with all the labels of the validated 
FQDN. This method is suitable for validating Wildcard Domain Names.

 

Add Appendix B: CAA Contact Tag

The syntax for the contact property is similar to the iodef property.  It 
allows domain owners to publish contact information in DNS in addition to WHOIS 
for the purpose of validating domain control.

CAA contact Property

 

contact <URL> :  The contact property entry specifies the authorized means of 
contacting the holder of the domain or another party who is authorized to 
approve issuance of certificates for the domain.

 

The contact property specifies a means of contacting the domain holder, or 
another party that is authorized to approve issuance of certificates for the 
domain in question.

The contact property takes a URL as its parameter.  The following URL scheme 
type SHOULD be implemented:

mailto: An SMTP email address where the domain holder or other authorized party 
can be contacted.

 

Schemes other than "mailto:"; MUST NOT be used.

 

The following is an example where the holder of the domain specified the 
contact property using an email address.

 

$ORIGIN example.com 
<http://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=4062&d=rfnk28lbSPhWC4h7ghzRbUm0O2r_iB1ji9mEi2rn9g&s=5&u=http%3a%2f%2fexample%2ecom>
 

.              CAA 0 issue “ca.example.net <http://ca.example.net> ”

.              CAA 0 contact “mailto:[email protected]

 

Support for Legacy Systems

 

Some systems still do not have sufficient support for CAA records.  To allow 
users of those systems to specify contact information, a legacy format using 
text records is allowed.

               

The DNS TXT record MUST be placed on the "_caa_contact" subdomain of the domain 
being validated.  The DNS record MUST be named "domain-authorization-email".  
The value of "domain-authorization-email" MUST contain a valid email address, 
or it cannot be used.
