Configuration details - especially to domain name system configuration - that goes beyond normal configuration for the integration of hardware security module are not explained in this docu- ment. For further information to configure and setup BIND for a domain name system, it is referred to the documents and information of ISC1. 1.1 Concepts The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. Most im- portantly, it translates domain names meaningful to human-readable identifiers into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide. Often the Domain Name System is compared with the phone book of the world- wide internet. The original design of the Domain Name System did not include any security. Instead, it was developed as a simple scalable distributed system. The Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) attempts to add security, while maintain- ing backwards compatibility to the existing Domain Name System. The RFC 3833 attempts to doc- ument some of the known threats to the DNS and how DNSSEC tries to responds to those threats. DNSSEC was designed to protect Internet resolvers from forged DNS data, such as that created by e.g. DNS cache poisoning. All answers from DNSSEC enabled domain name system are digitally signed. By verifying the digital signature, a DNS resolver is able to check if the information is correct and complete to the information on the authoritative domain name server. While protecting IP ad- dresses is the immediate concern for many users, DNSSEC can protect other information such as general-purpose cryptographic certificates too. Basically cryptographic keys are used to sign domain name related information’s. The keys require extensively protection against being stolen or corrupted. A hardware security module is the best solution in maintaining highest security and performance for the protection of those keys. 1ISC - http://www.isc.org Page 4 2 Requirements Ensure that you have a copy of the CryptoServer Administration Guide [?] and the CryptoServer PKCS#11 Interface [?]. You should also have prepared an installed Linux operating system (for this guide, Ubuntu 15.04). If you are using PCI(e) card also compile and install the necessary driver for that card. This guide assumes that a Ubuntu based Linux distribution or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is used. Software- and Hardware Requirements HSM Model CryptoServer CS-Series/S-Series/Se-Series PCI CryptoServer CS-Series/S-Series/Se-Series LAN CryptoServer Simulator CS/Se HSM Firmware CryptoServer 2.50 Software CryptoServer 2.50 Linux 3.19 (Ubuntu 15.04 amd64) Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x86 2.1 Supported Operating Systems For the interoperability of the CryptoServer solution, operating systems, Bind and OpenSSL have been tested successfully for the following combinations: Operating CryptoServer Bind OpenSSL PCI Support Ethernet Sup- System Version port Windows 2.30.2 9.7.2-P3 0.9.8i Yes Yes Server 2008 Enterprise x86 Debian 4.1.2 2.50 9.7.2-P3 0.9.8i Yes Yes x86/amd64 Ubuntu 15.04 3.21 9.10.2-P1 1.0.1j Yes Yes x86/amd64 Page 5 Integration Guide: Bind 9 3 Installation The installation of the CryptoServer in preparation for integration with Bind consists of two parts: • Install CryptoServer Hardware • Install CryptoServer Software 3.1 Install CryptoServer Hardware For more information on commonly installing and setting up CryptoServer PCI or LAN, see the docu- mentation CryptoServer CryptoServer PCI / (LAN) Installation & Operating manual. There is no need to install any software specific for running CryptoServer. 3.2 Install CryptoServer Software The CryptoServer software - this includes administrative tools and library software - has to be installed on your computer system manually on Linux based system. To install the necessary PKCS#11 li- braries it is referred to the CryptoServer PKCS#11 Interface and SafeGuard CryptoServer - PKCS#11 (R2) Development Guide document. Further PKCS#11 related configuration steps for the integration are explained in the next chapter’s. Page 6 4 Procedures The steps to integrate the CryptoServer in BIND with Linux or Microsoft Windows are a little different. In places where the description of the integration steps may differ, the individual steps are explained in separate chapters. To integrate the CryptoServer with BIND domain name server (named) in context of DNSSEC secured environment you need follow these steps: 1. Configure PKCS#11 environment 2. Test PKCS#11 environment 3. Patch and Build OpenSSL 4. Install BIND Domain Name Server 5. Generate Keys and Sign a Zone 4.1 Configure PKCS#11 Environment The location of library and configuration file differs on Linux and Microsoft Windows operating system. Therefore the procedures to setup the PKCS#11 respectively PKCS#11 R2 environment is described separately. 4.1.1 Linux The PKCS#11 library and configuration files for Linux operating system have to be installed manually. For further installations steps it is referred to QuickStart Guide PKCS#11 [?]. 4.1.2 Microsoft Windows With the installation of the CryptoServer software the necessary libraries, tools and configuration file cs2_pkcs11.ini have been installed on your Microsoft Windows system. An environment variable has been also set up and is refering to the configuration file. 4.1.3 Adjust Configuration File The CryptoServer device specifier to address the CryptoServer device has to be adjusted in your con- figuration file to use the PKCS#11 (R2) library. Open the configuration cs2_pkcs11.ini respectively Page 7 Integration Guide: Bind 9 cs_pkcs11_R2.cfg with an editor of your choice and find the device parameter of the CryptoServer sec- tion. Change the value to one of these values in accordance to your CryptoServer hardware. • IP address of your device (e.g. 192.168.0.42) This device specifier is used for network attached devices. Further details to setup the ip ad- dress of your device can be found in CryptoServer LAN Operating & Installation Manual. • /dev/cs2 This device specifier addresses a local installed PCI or PCIe device. An installed device driver is necessary to open a connection. Further details to setup the driver can be found in CryptoServer PCI(e) Operating & Installation Manual. For debugging purposes change the parameter Logging from value 0 which means no logging to 15 respectively 5 for PKCS#11 R2 to provide full logging details. 4.2 Test PKCS#11 Environment The p11tool respectively p11tool2 is an administration command line tool to manage PKCS#11 and PKCS#11 R2 related issues for the CryptoServer. Check if your PKCS#11 environment has been configured and installed correctly by performing ListSlots command of p11tool respectively p11tool2. The output should display a listing of available PKCS#11 slot numbers. 0: 00000000 1: 00000001 2: 00000002 3: 00000003 4: 00000004 Listing 1: ListSlots Initialize a PKCS#11 slot to store the necessary cryptographic keys used for DNSSEC later in this document.

  • Unbound: a New Secure and High Performance Open Source DNS Server
    New Open Source DNS Server Released Today Unbound – A Secure, High-Performance Alternative to BIND – Makes its Debut within Open Source Community Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Mountain View, CA – May 20, 2008 – Unbound – a new open source alternative to the BIND domain name system (DNS) server– makes its worldwide debut today with the worldwide public release of Unbound 1.0 at http://unbound.net. Released to open source developers by NLnet Labs, VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), Nominet, and Kirei, Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS server designed as a high- performance alternative for BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain). Unbound will be supported by NLnet Labs. An essential component of the Internet, the DNS ties domain names (such as www.verisign.com) to the IP addresses and other information that Web browsers need to access and interact with specific sites. Though it is unknown to the vast majority of Web users, DNS is at the heart of a range of Internet-based services beyond Web browsing, including email, messaging and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) telecommunications. Although BIND has been the de facto choice for DNS servers since the 1980s, a desire to seek an alternative server that excels in security, performance and ease of use prompted an effort to develop an open source DNS implementation. Unbound is the result of that effort. Mostly deployed by ISPs and enterprise users, Unbound will also be available for embedding in customer devices, such as dedicated DNS appliances and ADSL modems. By making Unbound code available to open source developers, its originators hope to enable rapid development of features that have not traditionally been associated with DNS.

  • Stateless DNS
    Technical Report KN{2014{DiSy{004 Distributed System Laboratory Stateless DNS Daniel Kaiser, Matthias Fratz, Marcel Waldvogel, Valentin Dietrich, Holger Strittmatter Distributed Systems Laboratory Department of Computer and Information Science University of Konstanz { Germany Konstanzer Online-Publikations-System (KOPS) URL: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:352-0-267760 Abstract. Several network applications, like service discovery, file dis- covery in P2P networks, distributed hash tables, and distributed caches, use or would benefit from distributed key value stores. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a key value store which has a huge infrastructure and is accessible from almost everywhere. Nevertheless storing information in this database makes it necessary to be authoritative for a domain or to be \registered" with a domain, e.g. via DynDNS, to be allowed to store and update resource records using nsupdate . Applications like the ones listed above would greatly benefit from a configurationless approach, giving users a much more convenient experience. In this report we describe a technique we call Stateless DNS, which allows to store data in the cache of the local DNS server. It works without any infrastructure updates; it just needs our very simple, configurationless echo DNS server that can parse special queries containing information desired to be stored, process this information, and generate DNS answers in a way that the DNS cache that was asked the special query will store the desired information. Because all this happens in the authority zone of our echo DNS server, we do not cause cache poisoning. Our tests show that Stateless DNS works with a huge number of public DNS servers.

  • Analysis of DNS Resolver Performance Measurements Author
    Master in System and Network Engineering Analysis of DNS Resolver Performance Measurements Supervisors: Author: Yuri Schaeffer Hamza Boulakhrif [email protected] [email protected] Willem Toorop [email protected] July 13, 2015 Abstract The Domain Name System (DNS) is an essential building block of the Internet. Applica- tions depend on it in order to operate properly. Therefore DNS resolvers are required to perform well, and do whatever they can to provide an answer to a query. In this paper a methodology is devised to measure the performance of the Unbound, BIND, and PowerDNS resolvers. Measurements of these resolvers is required to be objective and not biased. Analysis is conducted on these performance measurements, where the implementations are compared to each other. Corner cases have also been identified and analysed. Acknowledgement I would like to thank NLnet Labs for providing this interesting Research Project. Also the support they provided throughout this project is really appreciated. Especially Willem Toorop and Yuri Schaeffer who answered all of my questions and guided me through this project. Thanks go also to Wouter Wijngaards who answered my questions related to DNS resolvers. The performed measurements during this project were carried out from the SNE lab, at the University of Amsterdam. I would also like to thank Harm Dermois for providing his server in the lab to perform these measurements. Special thanks also go to the SNE staff for their support and guidance. This does not only concern this project but the entire study. Hamza Boulakhrif 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 1.1 Related Work . .3 1.2 Research Questions .
