+
+1. Introduction
+
+1.1 Overview
+
+ The IPSECKEY resource record (RR) is used to publish a public key
+ that is to be associated with a Domain Name System (DNS) name. This
+ can be the public key of a host, network, or application (in the case
+ of per-port keying).
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119 [5].
+
+ An IPSECKEY resource record SHOULD be authenticated DNSSEC resource
+ record.
+
+ It is expected that there will often be multiple IPSECKEY resource
+ records at the same terminal node. This will be due to the presence
+ of multiple gateways and the need to rollover keys.
+
+ This resource record is class independent.

+
+
+2. Storage formats
+
+ The type number for the IPSECKEY RR is TBD.
+
+2.1 IPSECKEY RDATA format
+
+ The RDATA for an IPSECKEY RR consists of a precedence value, a public
+ key (and algorithm type), and an optional gateway address.
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | precedence | algorithm | gateway |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +
+ ~ gateway ~
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | /
+ / public key /
+ / /
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-|
+
+
+2.2 RDATA format - precedence
+
+ This is an 8-bit precedence for this record. This is interpreted in
+ the same way as the PREFERENCE field described in section 3.3.9 of
+ RFC1035 [2].
+
+2.3 RDATA format - algorithm type
+
+ aThe algorithm type field indicates the type of key that is present
+ in the public key field. A positive number, larger than 0 identifies
+ an algorithm type. The following values, which have been previously
+ defined by IANA are useful (see RFC2535 [6]).
+
+ A value of 0 indicates that no key is present.
+
+ The following values defined by IANA are useful:
+
+ 3 A DSA key is present, in the format defined in RFC2536 [7]
+
+ 5 A RSA key is present, in the format defined in RFC3110 [8]
+
+
+2.4 RDATA format - gateway
+
+ The gateway field indicates a gateway to which an IPsec tunnel may be
+ created in order to reach the entity holding this resource record.
+
+
+
+Richardson Expires September 28, 2003 [Page 4]
+\f
+Internet-Draft ipsecrr March 2003
+
+
+ The gateway field is a normal wire-encoded domain name (section 3.3
+ of RFC1035 [2]).
+
+ If no gateway is to be represented, then a null domain name MUST be
+ present.
+
+ It is a simple fully qualified domain name (FQDN). IP version 4 and
+ IP version 6 addresses may be represented using the reverse name
+ format, from in-addr.arpa. and ip6.arpa.
+
+ For instance, the IP version 4 address 192.0.1.2 is represented as
+ the domain name 2.1.0.192.in-addr.arpa.
+
+2.5 RDATA format - RSA public key
+
+ If the algorithm type has the value 5 then public key portion
+ contains an RSA public key, encoded as described in secion 2 of
+ RFC3110 [8].
+
+ RFC2065 limited the exponent and modulus to 2552 bits in length, and
+ RFC3110 to 4096 bits. No such limit is specified here for the
+ purposes of encoding and decoding.
+
+ The length in octets of the public exponent length is represented as
+ one octet if it is in the range of 1 to 255 and by a zero octet
+ followed by a two octet unsigned length if it is longer than 255
+ bytes. The public key modulus field is a multiprecision unsigned
+ integer. The length of the modulus can be determined from the
+ RDLENGTH and the preceding RDATA fields including the exponent.
+
+ Leading zero bytes are prohibited in the exponent and modulus.
+
+2.6 RDATA format - DSA public key
+
+ If the algorithm type has the value 3, then public key portion
+ contains an DSA public key, encoded as described in RFC2536 [7].
+
+

+
+3. Presentation formats
+
+3.1 Representation of IPSECKEY RRs
+
+ IPSECKEY RRs may appear as lines in a zone data master file. The
+ precedence, algorithm and gateway fields are REQUIRED. There base64
+ encoded public key block is OPTIONAL.
+
+ If no gateway is to be indicated, then the root (".") SHOULD be used.

+ own behalf.

+5. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA is asked to assign a resource record type number from the normal
+ resource record number space.
+
+ The algorithm field does not require any IANA action, as it is
+ inherited from DNS KEY algorithm values.
