1. Introduction
Traditionally a caching DNS server has been provided by local
networks. This provides benefits such as low latency to reach that
DNS server (owing to its network proximity to the endpoint).
However, if an endpoint is configured to use Internet-hosted or
public DNS-over-(D)TLS [RFC7858] [RFC8094] or DNS-over-HTTPS
[RFC8484] servers, any available local DNS server cannot serve DNS
requests from local endpoints. If public DNS servers are used
instead of using local DNS servers, some operational problems can
occur such as those listed below:
o "Split DNS" [RFC2775] to use the special internal-only domain
names (e.g., "internal.example.com") in enterprise networks will
not work, and ".local" and "home.arpa" names cannot be locally
resolved in home networks.
o Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) that map traffic based on DNS may
lose the ability to direct end-user traffic to a nearby service-
specific cluster in cases where a DNS service is being used that
is not affiliated with the local network and which does not send

Internet-Draft DoT/DoH server discovery October 2019
"EDNS Client Subnet" (ECS) information [RFC7871] to the CDN's DNS
authorities [CDN].
If public DNS servers are used instead of using local DNS servers,
the following discusses the impact on network-based security:
o Various network security services are provided by Enterprise
networks to protect endpoints (e.g,. Hosts, IoT devices).
Network-based security solutions such as Firewalls (FW) and
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) rely on network traffic
inspection to implement perimeter-based security policies. The
network security services may for example prevent malware
download, block known malicious URLs, enforce use of strong
ciphers, stop data exfiltration, etc. These network security
services act on DNS requests originating from endpoints.
o However, if an endpoint is configured to use public DNS-
over-(D)TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS servers, network security services
cannot act on DNS requests from these endpoints.
o In order to act on DNS requests from endpoints, network security
services can block DNS-over-(D)TLS traffic by dropping outgoing
packets to destination port 853. Identifying DNS-over-HTTPS
traffic is far more challenging than DNS-over-(D)TLS traffic.
Network security services may try to identify the domains offering
DNS-over-HTTPS servers, and DNS-over-HTTPS traffic can be blocked
by dropping outgoing packets to these domains. If an endpoint has
enabled strict privacy profile (Section 5 of [RFC8310]), and the
network security service blocks the traffic to the public DNS
server, the DNS service won't be available to the endpoint and
ultimately the endpoint cannot access Internet-reachable services.
o If an endpoint has enabled opportunistic privacy profile
(Section 5 of [RFC8310]), and the network security service blocks
traffic to the public DNS server, the endpoint will either
fallback to an encrypted connection without authenticating the DNS
server provided by the local network or fallback to clear text
DNS, and cannot exchange encrypted DNS messages.
If the network security service fails to block DNS-over-(D)TLS or
DNS-over-HTTPS traffic, this can compromise the endpoint security;
some of the potential security threats are listed below:
o The network security service cannot prevent an endpoint from
accessing malicious domains.
o If the endpoint is an IoT device which is configured to use public
DNS-over-(D)TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS servers, and if a policy

enforcement point in the local network is programmed using, for
example, a Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) file [RFC8520] by
a MUD manager to only allow intented communications to and from
the IoT device, the policy enforcement point cannot enforce the
network Access Control List (ACL) rules based on domain names
(Section 8 of [RFC8520]).
If the network security service successfully blocks DNS-over-(D)TLS
and DNS-over-HTTPS traffic, this can still compromise the endpoint
security and privacy; some of the potential security threats are
listed below:
o Pervasive monitoring of DNS traffic.
o An internal attacker can modify the DNS responses to re-direct the
client to malicious servers.
In addition, the local network's DNS server is advertised using DHCP/
RA which is insecure and also provides no mechanism to securely
authenticate the DNS server. To overcome the above threats, this
document specifies a mechanism to automatically bootstrap endpoints
to discover and authenticate the DNS-over-(D)TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS
servers provided by their local network. The overall procedure can
be structured into the following steps:
o Bootstrapping (Section 4) is necessary only when connecting to a
new network or when the network's DNS certificate has changed.
Bootstrapping authenticates the Enrollment over Secure Transport
(EST) [RFC7030] server to the endpoint. After authenticating the
EST server, DNS server certificate used by the local network is
downloaded to the endpoint. This DNS server certificate enables
subsequent authenticated encrypted communication with the local
DNS server (e.g., DNS-over-HTTPS) during in the connection phase.
o Discovery (Section 6) is performed by a previously bootstrapped
endpoint whenever connecting to a network. During discovery, the
endpoint is instructed which privacy-enabling DNS protocol(s),
port number(s), and IP addresses are supported on a local network.
This effectively takes the place of DNS server IP address
traditionally provided by IPv4 or IPv6 DHCP or by IPv6 Router
Advertisement [RFC8106].
o Connection handshake and service invocation (Section 7): The DNS
client initiates a (D)TLS handshake with the DNS server learned in
the discovery phase, and validates the DNS server's identity using
the credentials obtained in the bootstrapping phase.

Internet-Draft DoT/DoH server discovery October 2019
Note: The strict and opportunistic privacy profiles as defined in
[RFC8310] only applies to DNS-over-(D)TLS protocols, there has been
no such distinction made for DNS-over-HTTPS protocol.
2. Scope
The problems discussed in Section 1 will be encountered in Enterprise
networks. Typically Enterprise networks do not assume that all
devices in their network are managed by the IT team or Mobile Device
Management (MDM) devices, especially in the quite common BYOD ("Bring
Your Own Device") scenario. The mechanisms specified in this
document can be used by BYOD devices to discover and authenticate
DNS-over-(D)TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS servers provided by the Enterprise
network. This mechanism can also be used by IoT devices (managed by
IT team) after onboarding to discover and authenticate DNS-
over-(D)TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS servers provided by the Enterprise
network.
WiFi as frequently deployed is vulnerable to various attacks
([Evil-Twin],[Krack] and [Dragonblood]). Because of these attacks,
only cryptographically secure communications are trusted on WiFi
networks. This means information provided by the network via DHCPv4,
DHCPv6, or RA (e.g., NTP server, DNS server, default domain) are un-
trusted because DHCP and RA are not authenticated.
The users have to indicate to their system in some way that they
desire bootstrapping to be performed only when connecting to a
specific network (e.g., organization for which a user works or a user
works temporarily within another corporation), similar to the way
users disable VPN connection in specific network (e.g., Enterprise
network) and enable VPN connection by default in other networks. If
the discovered DNS server meets the privacy preserving data policy
requirements of the user, the user can select to use the discovered
DNS-over-(D)TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS servers. In addition, if the
discovered DNS-over-(D)TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS servers are reachable
on the Internet, user can inform the system to use the servers in
other networks. It is strongly recommended to configure the DNS
server to be used in other networks provided the DNS server meets the
privacy preserving data policy requirements of the user and offers
malware filtering service.
If the device joins a public WiFi without any security credential
verification or joins a WiFi using a single shared password among all
the attached devices, such networks are typically not known to the
user or a compromised devices can spoof the access point or the
attacker can host a fake access point, and the device cannot be
securely bootstrapped with the network's DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-
TLS server. A compromised device may, for example, expose to an
Reddy, et al. Expires April 5, 2020 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft DoT/DoH server discovery October 2019
attacker secrets (such as single shared password) stored in the
device. Such networks can also be misconfigured or malicious.
Further, the client cannot know if the discovered DNS-over-HTTPS or
DNS-over-(D)TLS server is hosted by the network operator or by an
attacker. In such networks, DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-(D)TLS
server discovered using insecure discovery mechanisms like DHCP can
be used by the client if and only if the insecurely discovered DNS-
over-HTTPS and DNS-over-(D)TLS server is previously securely
discovered in a different network, offers malware filtering service,
meets the privacy preserving data policy requirements of the user and
configured to be used in other networks.
3. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
(D)TLS is used for statements that apply to both Transport Layer
Security [RFC8446] and Datagram Transport Layer Security [RFC6347].
Specific terms are used for any statement that applies to either
protocol alone.
This document uses the terms defined in [RFC8499].
4. Bootstrapping Endpoint Devices
The following steps detail the mechanism to automatically bootstrap
an endpoint with the local network's DNS server certificate:
1. The endpoint authenticates to the local network and discovers the
Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST) [RFC7030] server using the
procedure discussed in Section 8.
2. The endpoint establishes provisional TLS connection with that EST
server, i.e., the endpoint provisionally accepts the unverified
TLS server certificate. However, the endpoint MUST authenticate
the EST server before it accepts the DNS server certificate. The
endpoint either uses password-based authenticated key exchange
(PAKE) with TLS 1.3 [I-D.barnes-tls-pake] as an authentication
method or uses the mutual authentication protocol for HTTP
[RFC8120] to authenticate the discovered EST server.
As a reminder, PAKE is an authentication method that allows the
use of usernames and passwords over unencrypted channels without
revealing the passwords to an eavesdropper. Similarly, the
Reddy, et al. Expires April 5, 2020 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft DoT/DoH server discovery October 2019
mutual authentication for HTTP is based on PAKE and provides
mutual authentication between an HTTP client and an HTTP server
using username and password as credentials. The cryptographic
algorithms to use with the mutual authentication protocol for
HTTP are defined in [RFC8121].
3. The endpoint needs to use PAKE scheme to perform authentication
the first time it connects to an EST server. If the EST server
authentication is successful, the server's identity can be used
to authenticate subsequent TLS connections to that EST server.
The endpoint configures the reference identifier for the EST
server using the DNS-ID identifier type in the EST server
certificate. On subsequent connections to the EST server, the
endpoint MUST validate the EST server certificate using the
Implict Trust Anchor database (i.e, the EST server certificate
must pass PKIX certification path validation) and match the
reference identifier against the EST server's identity according
to the rules specified in Section 6.4 of [RFC6125].
4. The endpoint learns the End-Entity certificates [RFC8295] from
the EST server. The certificate provisioned to the DNS server in
the local network will be treated as a End-Entity certificate.
As a reminder, the End-Entity certificates must be validated by
the endpoint using an authorized trust anchor (Section 3.2 of
[RFC8295]). The endpoint needs to identify the certificate
provisioned to the DNS server. The SRV-ID identifier type
[RFC6125] within subjectAltName entry MUST be used to identify
the DNS server certificate.
For example, DNS server certificate will include SRV-ID "_domain-
s.example.net" along with DNS-ID "example.net". The SRV service
label "domain-s" is defined in Section 6 of [RFC7858]. As a
reminder, the protocol component is not included in the SRV-ID
[RFC4985].
5. The endpoint configures the authentication domain name (ADN)
(defined in [RFC8310]) for the DNS server from the DNS-ID
identifier type within subjectAltName entry in the DNS server
certificate. The DNS server certificate is associated with the
ADN to be matched with the certificate given by the DNS server in
(D)TLS. To some extent, this approach is similar to certificate
usage PKIX-EE(1) defined in [RFC7671].
Figure 1 illustrates a sequence diagram for bootstrapping an endpoint
with the local network's DNS server certificate.

5. Bootstrapping IoT Devices
The following steps explain the mechanism to automatically bootstrap
IoT devices with local network's CA certificates and DNS server
certificate:
o Bootstrapping Remote Secure Key Infrastructures (BRSKI) discussed
in [I-D.ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra] provides a solution for
secure automated bootstrap of devices. BRSKI specifies means to
provision credentials on devices to be used to operationally
access networks. In addition, BRSKI provides an automated
mechanism for the bootstrap distribution of CA certificates from
the EST server. The IoT device can use BRSKI to automatically
bootstrap the IoT device using the IoT manufacturer provisioned
X.509 certificate, in combination with a registrar provided by the
Reddy, et al. Expires April 5, 2020 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft DoT/DoH server discovery October 2019
local network and IoT device manufacturer's authorizing service
(MASA):
1. The IoT device authenticates to the local network using the
IoT manufacturer provisioned X.509 certificate. The IoT
device can request and get a voucher from the MASA service via
the registrar. The voucher is signed by the MASA service and
includes the local network's CA public key.
2. The IoT device validates the signed voucher using the
manufacturer installed trust anchor associated with the MASA,
stores the CA's public key and validates the provisional TLS
connection to the registrar.
3. The IoT device requests the full EST distribution of current
CA certificates (Section 5.9.1 in
[I-D.ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra]) from the registrar
operating as a BRSKI-EST server. The IoT devices stores the
CA certificates as Explicit Trust Anchor database entries.
The IoT device uses the Explicit Trust Anchor database to
validate the DNS server certificate.
4. The IoT device learns the End-Entity certificates from the
BRSKI-EST server. The certificate provisioned to the DNS
server in the local network will be treated as an End-Entity
certificate. The IoT device needs to identify the certificate
provisioned to the DNS server. The SRV-ID identifier type
within subjectAltName entry MUST be used to identify the DNS
server certificate.
5. The endpoint configures the ADN for the DNS server from the
DNS-ID identifier type within subjectAltName entry in the DNS
server certificate. The DNS server certificate is associated
with the ADN to be matched with the certificate given by the
DNS server in (D)TLS.
6. DNS-over-(D)TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS Server Discovery Procedure
A DNS client discovers the DNS server in the local network supporting
DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-DTLS and DNS-over-HTTPS protocols by using
DNS-based Service Discovery (DNS-SD) [RFC6763]. DNS-SD provides
generic solution for discovering services available in a local
network. DNS-SD defines a set of naming rules for certain DNS record
types that they use for advertising and discovering services.
Section 4.1 of [RFC6763] specifies that a service instance name in
DNS-SD has the following structure:
<Instance> . <Service> . <Domain>
Reddy, et al. Expires April 5, 2020 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft DoT/DoH server discovery October 2019
The <Domain> portion specifies the authentication domain name. The
<Service> portion of the DNS service instance name MUST be
"_dprive._udp" or "_dprive._tcp" or "_doh._tcp". If no DNS-SD
records can be retrieved, the discovery procedure fails for this
authentication domain name. However, before retrying a lookup that
has failed, a DNS client MUST wait a time period that is appropriate
for the encountered error (e.g., NXDOMAIN, timeout, etc.). If no
DNS-SD records can be retrieved, the client can try connecting to the
pre-configured public DNS servers. If the endpoint has enabled
strict privacy profile and access to the pre-configured public DNS
servers is blocked, the DNS service won't be available to the
endpoint and ultimately the endpoint cannot access Internet-reachable
services. If the endpoint has enabled opportunistic privacy profile
and access to the pre-configured public DNS servers is blocked, the
endpoint will either fallback to an encrypted connection without
authenticating the DNS server provided by the local network or
fallback to clear text DNS.
If DNS-over-HTTPS protocol is supported by the DNS server, the DNS
client can query for the URI resource record type [RFC7553] to use
the https URI scheme (Section 3 of [RFC8484]).
7. Connection Handshake and Service Invocation
The DNS client initiates (D)TLS handshake with the DNS server, the
DNS server presents its certificate in ServerHello message, and the
DNS client MUST match the DNS server certificate downloaded in Step 4
in Section 4 or Section 5 with the certificate provided by the DNS
server in (D)TLS handshake. If the match is successful, the DNS
client MUST validate the server certificate using the Implicit Trust
Anchor database (i.e., the DNS server certificate must pass PKIX
certification path validation).
If the match is successful and server certificate is successfully
validated, the client continues with the connection as normal.
Otherwise, the client MUST treat the server certificate validation
failure as a non-recoverable error. If the DNS client cannot reach
or establish an authenticated and encrypted connection with the
privacy-enabling DNS server provided by the local network, the DNS
client can fallback to the privacy-enabling public DNS server.
8. EST Service Discovery Procedure
A EST client discovers the EST server in the local network by using
DNS-based Service Discovery (DNS-SD) [RFC6763] or Multicast DNS
(mDNS) [RFC6762]. The <Domain> portion specifies the DNS sub-domain
where the service instance is registered. It may be "local.",
indicating the mDNS local domain, or it may be a conventional domain
Reddy, et al. Expires April 5, 2020 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft DoT/DoH server discovery October 2019
name such as "example.com.". The <Service> portion of the EST
service instance name MUST be "_est._tcp".
8.1. mDNS
A EST client application can proactively discover an EST server being
advertised in the site by multicasting a PTR query to the following:
o "_est._tcp.local"
A EST server can send out gratuitous multicast DNS answer packets
whenever it starts up, wakes from sleep, or detects a change in EST
server configuration. EST client application can receive these
gratuitous packets and cache information contained in them.
9. Network Reattachment
On subsequent attachments to the network, the endpoint discovers the
privacy-enabling DNS server using the authentication domain name
(configured in Step 5 of Section 4 or Section 5), initiates (D)TLS
handshake with the DNS server and follows the mechanism discussed in
Section 7 to validate the DNS server certificate.
If the DNS server certificate is invalid (e.g., revoked or expired)
or the procedure to discover the privacy-enabling DNS server fails
(e.g. the domain name of the privacy-enabling DNS server has changed
because the Enterprise network has switched to a public privacy-
enabling DNS server capable of blocking access to malicious domains),
the endpoint discovers and initiates TLS handshake with the EST
server, and uses the validation techniques described in [RFC6125] to
compare the reference identifier (created in Step 2 of Section 4 in
this document) to the EST server certificate and verifies the entire
certification path as per [RFC5280]. The endpoint then gets the DNS
server certificate from the EST server. If the DNS-ID identifier
type within subjectAltName entry in the DNS server certificate does
not match the configured ADN, the ADN is replaced with the DNS-ID
identifier type. The DNS server certificate associated with the ADN
is replaced with the one provided by the EST server. If the ADN has
changed, the endpoint discovers the privacy-enabling DNS server,
initiates (D)TLS handshake with the DNS server and follows the
mechanism discussed in Section 7 to validate the DNS server
certificate.
Figure 2 illustrates a sequence diagram for re-configuring an
endpoint with ADN and local network's DNS server certificate on
subsequent attachments to the network.

10. Privacy Considerations
[RFC7626] discusses DNS privacy considerations in both "on the wire"
(Section 2.4 of [RFC7626]) and "in the server" (Section 2.5 of
[RFC7626] contexts. The mechanism defined in [I-D.reddy-dprive-
dprive-privacy-policy] can be used by the client to discover the
privacy policy information of the DNS server.
11. Security Considerations
The bootstrapping procedure to obtain the certificate of the local
networks DNS server uses a client identity and password to
authenticate the EST server using PAKE schemes. Security
considerations such as those discussed in [I-D.barnes-tls-pake] or
[RFC8120] and [RFC8121] need to be taken into consideration.
Users cannot be expected to enable or disable the bootstrapping or
the discovery procedure as they switch networks. Thus, it is
RECOMMENDED that users indicate to their system in some way that they
Reddy, et al. Expires April 5, 2020 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft DoT/DoH server discovery October 2019
desire bootstrapping to be performed when connecting to a specific
network, similar to the way users disable VPN connection in specific
network (e.g., Enterprise network) and enable VPN connection by
default in other networks.
If an endpoint has enabled strict privacy profile, and the network
security service blocks the traffic to the privacy-enabling public
DNS server, a hard failure occurs and the user is notified. The user
has a choice to switch to another network or if the user trusts the
network, the user can enable strict privacy profile with the DNS-
over-(D)TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS server discovered in the network
instead of downgrading to opportunistic privacy profile.
The primary attacks against the methods described in Section 6 are
the ones that would lead to impersonation of a DNS server and
spoofing the DNS response to indicate that the DNS server does not
support any privacy-enabling protocols. To protect against DNS-
vectored attacks, secured DNS (DNSSEC) can be used to ensure the
validity of the DNS records received. Impersonation of the DNS
server is prevented by validating the certificate presented by the
DNS server. If the EST server conveys the DNS server certificate,
but the DNS-SD lookup indicates that the DNS server does not support
any privacy-enabling protocols, the client can detect the DNS
response is spoofed.
Security considerations in [I-D.ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra]
need to be taken into consideration for IoT devices.
12. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to allocate the SRV service name of "dprive" for
DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-DTLS, and the service name of "doh" for DNS-
over-HTTPS.
IANA is requested to allocate the SRV service name of "est".
