       DNS Cookies, as specified in RFC 7873, are a
lightweight DNS transaction security mechanism that provide limited protection
to DNS servers and clients against a variety of denial-of-service
amplification, forgery, or cache-poisoning attacks by off-path attackers. 
       This document updates RFC 7873 with precise directions for creating Server
Cookies so that an anycast server set including diverse implementations will
interoperate with standard clients, with suggestions for constructing Client Cookies
in a privacy-preserving fashion, and with suggestions on how to update a Server
Secret.  An IANA registry listing the methods and associated pseudorandom
function suitable for creating DNS Server Cookies has been created with the method
described in this document as the first and, as of the time of publication, only entry.

<p id="section-1-1">DNS Cookies, as specified in <span>[<a href="#RFC7873" class="xref">RFC7873</a>]</span>, are a
lightweight DNS transaction security mechanism that provide limited protection
to DNS servers and clients against a variety of denial-of-service
amplification, forgery, or cache-poisoning attacks by off-path attackers. This
document specifies a means of producing interoperable cookies so that an
anycast server set including diverse implementations can be easily configured
to interoperate with standard clients.  Also, single-implementation or
non-anycast services can benefit from a well-studied standardized algorithm
for which the behavioral and security characteristics are more widely
known.<a href="#section-1-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-2">The threats considered for DNS Cookies and the properties of the DNS
Security features other than DNS Cookies are discussed in <span>[<a href="#RFC7873" class="xref">RFC7873</a>]</span>.<a href="#section-1-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

"<span class="bcp14">RECOMMENDED</span> that the same Server Secret be used by
each DNS server in a set of anycast servers." However, how precisely a
Server Cookie is calculated from this Server Secret is left to the
implementation.<a href="#section-1-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-4">This guidance has led to a gallimaufry of DNS Cookie implementations,
calculating the Server Cookie in different ways. As a result, DNS Cookies
are impractical to deploy on multi-vendor anycast networks because even
when all DNS Software shares the same secret, as <span class="bcp14">RECOMMENDED</span> in <span><a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7873#section-6" class="relref">Section 6</a> of [<a href="#RFC7873" class="xref">RFC7873</a>]</span>, the Server Cookie constructed by one implementation
cannot generally be validated by another.<a href="#section-1-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-5">There is no need for DNS client (resolver) Cookies to be interoperable
across different implementations. Each client need only be able to recognize
its own cookies. However, this document does contain recommendations for
constructing Client Cookies in a client-protecting fashion.<a href="#section-1-5" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

<p id="section-3-1">The Client Cookie acts as an identifier for a given client and its IP
address and needs to be unguessable. In order to provide minimal
authentication of the targeted server, a client <span class="bcp14">MUST</span> use a
different Client Cookie for each different Server IP address. This complicates
a server's ability to spoof answers for other DNS servers. The Client Cookie
<span class="bcp14">SHOULD</span> have 64 bits of entropy.<a href="#section-3-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-3-2">When a server does not support DNS Cookies, the client <span class="bcp14">MUST NOT</span> send the same
Client Cookie to that same server again. Instead, it is recommended that the
client does not send a Client Cookie to that server for a certain period

<p id="section-3-3">When a server does support DNS Cookies, the client should store the Client

<p id="section-3-4">Except for when the Client IP address changes, there is no need to change the
Client Cookie often. It is then reasonable to change the Client Cookie only if
it has been compromised or after a relatively long implementation-defined
period of time.  The time period should be no longer than a year, and in any
case, Client Cookies are not expected to survive a program restart.<a href="#section-3-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

<p id="section-3-6">Previously, the recommended algorithm to compute the Client Cookie included
the Client IP address as an input to a hashing function. However, when implementing
the DNS Cookies, several DNS vendors found it impractical to include the Client IP
as the Client Cookie is typically computed before the Client IP address is
known. Therefore, the requirement to put the Client IP address as input was
removed.<a href="#section-3-6" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-3-7">However, for privacy reasons, in order to prevent tracking of devices across
links and to not circumvent IPv6 Privacy Extensions <span>[<a href="#RFC8981" class="xref">RFC8981</a>]</span>, clients <span class="bcp14">MUST NOT</span> reuse a Client or Server Cookie after the Client IP address has changed.<a href="#section-3-7" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-3-8">One way to satisfy this requirement for non-reuse is to register the Client IP
address alongside the Server Cookie when it receives the Server Cookie.  In
subsequent queries to the server with that Server Cookie, the socket <span class="bcp14">MUST</span> be
bound to the Client IP address that was also used (and registered) when it
received the Server Cookie.  Failure to bind <span class="bcp14">MUST</span> then result in a new Client

<p id="section-4-1">The Server Cookie is effectively a Message Authentication Code (MAC). The
Server Cookie, when it occurs in a COOKIE option in a request, is intended to
weakly assure the server that the request came from a client that is both at
the source IP address of the request and using the Client Cookie included in
the option.  

 This assurance is provided by the Server Cookie that the server (or any other
 server from the anycast set) sent to that client in an earlier response and
 that appears as the Server Cookie field in the weakly authenticated request
 (see <span><a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7873#section-5.2" class="relref">Section 5.2</a> of [<a href="#RFC7873" class="xref">RFC7873</a>]</span>).<a href="#section-4-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-4-2">DNS Cookies do not provide protection against "on-path"
adversaries (see <span><a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7873#section-9" class="relref">Section 9</a> of [<a href="#RFC7873" class="xref">RFC7873</a>]</span>). An
on-path observer that has seen a Server Cookie for a client can abuse that
Server Cookie to spoof request for that client within the time span a Server
Cookie is valid (see <a href="#timestampField" class="xref">Section 4.3</a>).<a href="#section-4-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-4-3">



  The Server Cookie is calculated from the Client Cookie, a series of
  Sub-Fields specified below, the Client IP address, and a Server
  Secret that is known only to the server or only to the set of servers
  at the same anycast address.<a href="#section-4-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-4-4">For calculation of the Server Cookie, a pseudorandom function is
<span class="bcp14">RECOMMENDED</span> with the property that an attacker that does not
know the Server Secret, cannot find (any information about) the Server Secret,
and cannot create a Server Cookie for any combination of the Client Cookie,
the series of Sub-Fields specified below, and the client IP address, for which
it has not seen a Server Cookie before. 

Because DNS servers need to use the pseudorandom function in order to verify
Server Cookies, it is <span class="bcp14">RECOMMENDED</span> that it be efficient to
calculate.

The pseudorandom function described in <span>[<a href="#SipHash-2-4" class="xref">SipHash-2-4</a>]</span> and
introduced in <a href="#hashField" class="xref">Section 4.4</a> of this document fits these
recommendations.<a href="#section-4-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-4-5">Changing the Server Secret regularly is <span class="bcp14">RECOMMENDED</span> but,
when a secure pseudorandom function is used, it need not be changed too
frequently.  Once a month, for example, would be adequate.  See <a href="#rollingSecret" class="xref">Section 5</a> on operator and implementation guidelines for
updating a Server Secret.<a href="#section-4-5" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

<p id="section-8-1">DNS Cookies provide limited protection to DNS servers and clients against a
variety of denial-of-service amplification, forgery, or cache-poisoning attacks
by off-path attackers. They provide no protection against on-path adversaries
that can observe the plaintext DNS traffic. An on-path adversary that can
observe a Server Cookie for a client and server interaction can use that
Server Cookie for denial-of-service amplification, forgery, or cache-poisoning
attacks directed at that client for the lifetime of the Server Cookie.<a href="#section-8-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

<p id="section-8.1-1">In <span>[<a href="#RFC7873" class="xref">RFC7873</a>]</span>, it was <span class="bcp14">RECOMMENDED</span> to construct a Client Cookie by using a
pseudorandom function of the Client IP address, the Server IP address, and a
secret quantity known only to the client. The Client IP address was included to
ensure that a client could not be tracked if its IP address changes due to
privacy mechanisms or otherwise.<a href="#section-8.1-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-8.1-2">In this document, we changed Client Cookie construction to be just 64 bits of
entropy newly created for each new upstream server the client connects to.
As a consequence, additional care needs to be taken to prevent tracking of
clients.  To prevent tracking, a new Client Cookie for a server <span class="bcp14">MUST</span> be created
whenever the Client IP address changes.<a href="#section-8.1-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-8.1-3">Unfortunately, tracking Client IP address changes is impractical with servers
that do not support DNS Cookies. To prevent tracking of clients with non-DNS
Cookie-supporting servers, a client <span class="bcp14">MUST NOT</span> send a previously sent Client
Cookie to a server not known to support DNS Cookies. To prevent the creation of
a new Client Cookie for each query to a non-DNS Cookie-supporting server, it
is <span class="bcp14">RECOMMENDED</span> to not send a Client Cookie to that server for a certain period,
for example five minutes.<a href="#section-8.1-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

<p id="section-8.2-1"><span>[<a href="#RFC7873" class="xref">RFC7873</a>]</span> did not give a precise recipe for constructing Server Cookies, but
it did recommend usage of a pseudorandom function strong enough to prevent
the guessing of cookies. In this document, SipHash-2-4 is assigned as the
pseudorandom function to be used for version 1 Server Cookies. SipHash-2-4 is
considered sufficiently strong for the immediate future, but predictions about
future development in cryptography and cryptanalysis are beyond the scope of
this document.<a href="#section-8.2-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-8.2-2">The precise structure of version 1 Server Cookies is defined in this
document.  A portion of the structure is made up of unhashed data elements
that are exposed in cleartext to an on-path observer. These unhashed data
elements are taken along as input to the SipHash-2-4 function of which the
result is the other portion of the Server Cookie, so the unhashed portion of
the Server Cookie cannot be changed by an on-path attacker without also
recalculating the hashed portion for which the Server Secret needs to be
known.<a href="#section-8.2-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-8.2-3">One of the elements in the unhashed portion of version 1 Server Cookies is
a Timestamp used to prevent Replay Attacks.  Servers verifying version 1
Server Cookies need to have access to a reliable time value, one that cannot
be altered by an attacker, to compare with the Timestamp value. Furthermore,
all servers participating in an anycast set that validate version 1 Server
Cookies need to have their clocks synchronized.<a href="#section-8.2-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-8.2-4">
For an on-path adversary observing a Server Cookie (as mentioned in the first
paragraph of <a href="#securityConsiderations" class="xref">Section 8</a>), the cleartext Timestamp data element reveals the
lifetime during which the observed Server Cookie can be used to attack the
client.<a href="#section-8.2-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

Considerations section of <span>[<a href="#RFC7873" class="xref">RFC7873</a>]</span> still applies.<a href="#section-8.2-5" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

<p id="section-a.4-1">The query below is from a client with IPv6 address 2001:db8:220:1:59de:d0f4:8769:82b8 to a server
with IPv6 address 2001:db8:8f::53.  The client has learned a valid Server Cookie
before (on Wed Jun  5 13:36:57 UTC 2019) when the Server had the secret:
dd3bdf9344b678b185a6f5cb60fca715.  The server now uses a new secret, but it can still validate
the Server Cookie provided by the client as the old secret has not expired yet.<a href="#section-a.4-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-a.4-2">The Timestamp field in the Server Cookie in the request has value
1559741817, which, in the format of <span>[<a href="#RFC3339" class="xref">RFC3339</a>]</span>, is 2019-06-05 13:36:57+00:00.<a href="#section-a.4-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

<p id="section-appendix.b-1">At the time of writing, BIND from version 9.16 and Knot DNS from version 2.9.0
create Server Cookies according to the recipe described in this document. Unbound
and NSD have a Proof-of-Concept implementation that has been tested for
interoperability during the hackathon at IETF 104 in Prague.  Construction
of privacy maintaining Client Cookies according to the directions in this document
have been implemented in the getdns library and will be in the upcoming
getdns-1.6.1 release and in Stubby version 0.3.1.<a href="#section-appendix.b-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
