Implementations§

source §

impl RRSIG

source

pub fn new( type_covered: RecordType, algorithm: Algorithm, num_labels: u8, original_ttl: u32, sig_expiration: u32, sig_inception: u32, key_tag: u16, signer_name: Name, sig: Vec<u8> ) -> Self

Creates a new SIG record data, used for both RRSIG and SIG(0) records.

§Arguments

type_covered - The RecordType which this signature covers, should be NULL for SIG(0).
algorithm - The Algorithm used to generate the signature.
num_labels - The number of labels in the name, should be less 1 for *.name labels, see Name::num_labels().
original_ttl - The TTL for the RRSet stored in the zone, should be 0 for SIG(0).
sig_expiration - Timestamp at which this signature is no longer valid, very important to keep this low, < +5 minutes to limit replay attacks.
sig_inception - Timestamp when this signature was generated.
key_tag - See the key_tag generation in rr::dnssec::Signer::key_tag().
signer_name - Domain name of the server which was used to generate the signature.
sig - signature stored in this record.

§Return value

The new SIG record data.

4.1.1 Type Covered Field

 The "type covered" is the type of the other RRs covered by this SIG.

source

pub fn num_labels(&self) -> u8

RFC 2535, Domain Name System Security Extensions, March 1999

4.1.3 Labels Field

 The "labels" octet is an unsigned count of how many labels there are
 in the original SIG RR owner name not counting the null label for
 root and not counting any initial "*" for a wildcard.  If a secured
 retrieval is the result of wild card substitution, it is necessary
 for the resolver to use the original form of the name in verifying
 the digital signature.  This field makes it easy to determine the
 original form.

 If, on retrieval, the RR appears to have a longer name than indicated
 by "labels", the resolver can tell it is the result of wildcard
 substitution.  If the RR owner name appears to be shorter than the
 labels count, the SIG RR must be considered corrupt and ignored.  The
 maximum number of labels allowed in the current DNS is 127 but the
 entire octet is reserved and would be required should DNS names ever
 be expanded to 255 labels.  The following table gives some examples.
 The value of "labels" is at the top, the retrieved owner name on the
 left, and the table entry is the name to use in signature
 verification except that "bad" means the RR is corrupt.

 labels= |  0  |   1  |    2   |      3   |      4   |
 --------+-----+------+--------+----------+----------+
        .|   . | bad  |  bad   |    bad   |    bad   |
       d.|  *. |   d. |  bad   |    bad   |    bad   |
     c.d.|  *. | *.d. |   c.d. |    bad   |    bad   |
   b.c.d.|  *. | *.d. | *.c.d. |   b.c.d. |    bad   |
 a.b.c.d.|  *. | *.d. | *.c.d. | *.b.c.d. | a.b.c.d. |

pub fn original_ttl(&self) -> u32

RFC 2535, Domain Name System Security Extensions, March 1999

4.1.4 Original TTL Field

 The "original TTL" field is included in the RDATA portion to avoid
 (1) authentication problems that caching servers would otherwise
 cause by decrementing the real TTL field and (2) security problems
 that unscrupulous servers could otherwise cause by manipulating the
 real TTL field.  This original TTL is protected by the signature
 while the current TTL field is not.

 NOTE:  The "original TTL" must be restored into the covered RRs when
 the signature is verified (see Section 8).  This generally implies
 that all RRs for a particular type, name, and class, that is, all the
 RRs in any particular RRset, must have the same TTL to start with.

source

pub fn sig_expiration(&self) -> u32

RFC 2535, Domain Name System Security Extensions, March 1999

4.1.5 Signature Expiration and Inception Fields

 The SIG is valid from the "signature inception" time until the
 "signature expiration" time.  Both are unsigned numbers of seconds
 since the start of 1 January 1970, GMT, ignoring leap seconds.  (See
 also Section 4.4.)  Ring arithmetic is used as for DNS SOA serial
 numbers [RFC 1982] which means that these times can never be more
 than about 68 years in the past or the future.  This means that these
 times are ambiguous modulo ~136.09 years.  However there is no
 security flaw because keys are required to be changed to new random
 keys by [RFC 2541] at least every five years.  This means that the
 probability that the same key is in use N*136.09 years later should
 be the same as the probability that a random guess will work.

 A SIG RR may have an expiration time numerically less than the
 inception time if the expiration time is near the 32 bit wrap around
 point and/or the signature is long lived.

 (To prevent misordering of network requests to update a zone
 dynamically, monotonically increasing "signature inception" times may
 be necessary.)

 A secure zone must be considered changed for SOA serial number
 purposes not only when its data is updated but also when new SIG RRs
 are inserted (ie, the zone or any part of it is re-signed).

pub fn key_tag(&self) -> u16

RFC 2535, Domain Name System Security Extensions, March 1999

4.1.6 Key Tag Field

 The "key Tag" is a two octet quantity that is used to efficiently
 select between multiple keys which may be applicable and thus check
 that a public key about to be used for the computationally expensive
 effort to check the signature is possibly valid.  For algorithm 1
 (MD5/RSA) as defined in [RFC 2537], it is the next to the bottom two
 octets of the public key modulus needed to decode the signature
 field.  That is to say, the most significant 16 of the least
 significant 24 bits of the modulus in network (big endian) order. For
 all other algorithms, including private algorithms, it is calculated
 as a simple checksum of the KEY RR as described in Appendix C.

pub fn signer_name(&self) -> &Name

RFC 2535, Domain Name System Security Extensions, March 1999

4.1.7 Signer's Name Field

 The "signer's name" field is the domain name of the signer generating
 the SIG RR.  This is the owner name of the public KEY RR that can be
 used to verify the signature.  It is frequently the zone which
 contained the RRset being authenticated.  Which signers should be
 authorized to sign what is a significant resolver policy question as
 discussed in Section 6. The signer's name may be compressed with
 standard DNS name compression when being transmitted over the
 network.

pub fn sig(&self) -> &[u8] ⓘ

RFC 2535, Domain Name System Security Extensions, March 1999

4.1.8 Signature Field

 The actual signature portion of the SIG RR binds the other RDATA
 fields to the RRset of the "type covered" RRs with that owner name
 and class.  This covered RRset is thereby authenticated.  To
 accomplish this, a data sequence is constructed as follows:

 data = RDATA | RR(s)...

 where "|" is concatenation,

 RDATA is the wire format of all the RDATA fields in the SIG RR itself
 (including the canonical form of the signer's name) before but not
 including the signature, and

 RR(s) is the RRset of the RR(s) of the type covered with the same
 owner name and class as the SIG RR in canonical form and order as
 defined in Section 8.

 How this data sequence is processed into the signature is algorithm
 dependent.  These algorithm dependent formats and procedures are
 described in separate documents (Section 3.2).

 SIGs SHOULD NOT be included in a zone for any "meta-type" such as
 ANY, AXFR, etc. (but see section 5.6.2 with regard to IXFR).

   For the purposes of DNS security, the canonical form of an RR is the

       HINFO, MINFO, MX, HINFO, RP, AFSDB, RT, SIG, PX, NXT, NAPTR, KX,

       US-ASCII letters in the DNS names contained within the RDATA are replaced
       by the corresponding lowercase US-ASCII letters;
