At this point we say: Implementations therefore SHOULD avoid using this option if the DNS transport is not encrypted. If you did allow this on unencrypted dns transport this seems like it serves as a utility function for DNS amplification. Wouldn't it be better to say MUST NOT? e.g. this is exclusively for use with TLS / DTLS supporting sessions? |

This is … [Ballot comment] - intro: "significantly hampering" is over-stated, even though you do limit that to size-based correlation as a form of traffic analysis. This is a basic mechanism (a fine thing) but by itself does not counter traffic analysis that much. See e.g. [1] for a relevant study. Referencing [1] and/or [2] and saying that this mechanism isn't itself enough would be a good improvement. ([2] is a colleague's work btw, but I think is good:-). Neither [1] nor [2] are DNS-specific, not sure if there are publications that cover that. Without such a caveat, people might over-claim and not do the right things. Happy to help craft words for that if you want. [1] http://kpdyer.com/publications/oakland2012-peekaboo.pdf [2] http://arxiv.org/pdf/1410.2087v2.pdf - typo: "meta data of could still" |

Responders MUST pad DNS responses when the respective DNS query included the 'Padding' option, unless doing so would violate the maximum UDP payload size. Responders MAY pad DNS responses when the respective DNS query indicated EDNS(0) support of the Requestor. Responders MUST NOT pad DNS responses when the respective DNS query did not indicate EDNS(0). ... I believe we need to improve the second paragraph. Taken out of context of the first paragraph, it might be misleading. Responders MAY pad DNS responses when the respective DNS query indicated EDNS(0) support of the Requestor and the 'Padding' option is not included. Editorial: However, even if both DNS query and response messages were encrypted, meta data of could still be used to correlate such messages with well known unencrypted messages, hence jeopardizing some of the confidentiality gained by encryption. One such property is the message size. meta data of? |

Other … [Ballot comment] Thanks for producing this draft. I do have one question about this text: The PADDING octets SHOULD be set to 0x00. Other values MAY be used; for example, in cases where there is a concern that the padded message could be subject to compression before encryption. PADDING octets of any value MUST be accepted in messages received. I'm not entirely sure I understand the point of "SHOULD be set to 0x00". I'm not questioning the SHOULD (you explain why choosing another value would be a good idea, thank you ), but I'm wondering why there's a normative requirement at all. I was trying to guess, and one hypothesis was that if the padding is consistently 0x00, it's less likely to provide a covert channel (or at least you'd be more likely to notice packets using different padding), but the security considerations section didn't mention that, so I'm still lost. If there's a reason to zero the padding bytes in the uncompressed case, a sentence of explanation might be useful. |

Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-02-10. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the EDNS(0) 'Padding' option, which allows DNS clients and servers to pad request and response messages by a variable number of octets. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dprive-edns0-padding/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dprive-edns0-padding/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. |

Summary Document Shepherd: Tim Wicinski Area Director: Terry Manderson Document Type: Proposed Standard This document specifies the EDNS(0) ’Padding’ option, which allows DNS clients and servers to pad request and response messages by a variable number of octets. Since this is deploying a new EDNS(0) option, it is marked as Proposed Standard while it is deployed. 2. Review and Consensus This document was brought to the working group and immediately found consensus. The only process issue was that this was being handled by the DPRIVE working group, and not DNSOP. It was quickly confirmed by the co-chairs and the area director of DNSOP that this document could be handled here, and there was plenty of DNS subject experts to provide expert reviews This document had wide consensus, and there was little controversy in this. 3. Intellectual Property There are no known IPR disclosures, and the authors have confirmed they know of none. 4. Other Points There are no downward references. Under IANA considerations, the EDNS option code '12' was assigned to this feature. Checklist This section is not meant to be submitted, but is here as a useful checklist of things the document shepherd is expected to have verified before publication is requested from the responsible Area Director. If the answers to any of these is "no", please explain the situation in the body of the writeup. X Does the shepherd stand behind the document and think the document is ready for publication? X Is the correct RFC type indicated in the title page header? X Is the abstract both brief and sufficient, and does it stand alone as a brief summary? X Is the intent of the document accurately and adequately explained in the introduction? X Have all required formal reviews (MIB Doctor, Media Type, URI, etc.) been requested and/or completed? X Has the shepherd performed automated checks -- idnits (see http://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the Internet-Drafts Checklist), checks of BNF rules, XML code and schemas, MIB definitions, and so on -- and determined that the document passes the tests? (In general, nits should be fixed before the document is sent to the IESG. If there are reasons that some remain (false positives, perhaps, or abnormal things that are necessary for this particular document), explain them.) X Has each author stated that their direct, personal knowledge of any IPR related to this document has already been disclosed, in conformance with BCPs 78 and 79? X Have all references within this document been identified as either normative or informative, and does the shepherd agree with how they have been classified? X Are all normative references made to documents that are ready for advancement and are otherwise in a clear state? X If publication of this document changes the status of any existing RFCs, are those RFCs listed on the title page header, and are the changes listed in the abstract and discussed (explained, not just mentioned) in the introduction? X If this is a "bis" document, have all of the errata been considered? X IANA Considerations: |
