This is a supplemental AppsDir review of draft-ietf-dane-protocol (for background on AppsDir, please see <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/app/trac/wiki/ApplicationsAreaDirectorate>). Although Murray Kucherawy has already reviewed this I-D on behalf of the AppsDir, folks in the Applications Area realize that wide deployment of the TLSA Resource Record might have a significant impact on applications, so we are performing additional reviews. Please treat these comments just as you would any other Last Call feedback. Document: draft-ietf-dane-protocol Title: "The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) Protocol for Transport Layer Security (TLS)" Reviewer: Peter Saint-Andre Review Date: 2012-04-24 IETF Last Call Date: 2012-04-25 IESG Telechat: not yet scheduled Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as an Standards Track RFC but has a few issues that should be fixed before publication. Major Issue: none, although a) I am agreeing with Peter Saint-Andre's major issue and b) I would like to see a reply to my minor issues Minor Issues: 2.2. TLSA RR Presentation Format The presentation format of the RDATA portion is as follows: Presentation for what purpose? In management UIs? Is this a required presentation format for DNS tools that can retrieve and update TLSA records? [...] o The certificate association data field MUST be represented as a string of hexadecimal characters. Whitespace is allowed within the string of hexadecimal characters. Please define what you mean by whitespace here? CR & LFs allowed? Examples in the Section 2.3 seem to suggest that. 3. Domain Names for TLS Certificate Associations 2. The protocol name of the transport on which a TLS-based service is assumed to exist is prepended with an underscore character ("_") to become the second left-most label in the prepared domain name. The transport names defined for this protocol are "tcp", "udp" and "sctp". DCCP? Should there be a registry? 4. Use of TLSA Records in TLS Section 2.1 of this document defines the mandatory matching rules for the data from the TLSA certificate associations and the certificates received from the TLS server. The TLS session that is to be set up MUST be for the specific port number and transport name that was given in the TLSA query. So this will not work for any type of DNS indirection mechanism, such as MX, SRV, etc? Or does DNS retrieval of such records also requires DNSSec? Nits: 4. Use of TLSA Records in TLS If a TLSA record has usage type 2 for the certifcate, the typo: certificate corresponding TLS server SHOULD send the certificate that is referenced just like it currently sends intermediate certificates. If an application receives zero usable certificate associations from a DNS request or from its cache, it processes TLS in the normal fashion without any input from the TLSA records. Just to double check: if TLS client receives some TLSA records, but none of them are usable, is this considered to be the above case? If an application receives one or more usable certificate associations, it attempts to match each certificate association with the TLS server's end entity certificate until a successful match is found. During the TLS handshake, if none of the certificate associations matches the certificate given by the TLS server, the TLS client MUST abort the handshake.
