Abstract

   This document defines a protocol for sending DNS messages over the
   Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP).  These CoAP messages are
   protected by DTLS-Secured CoAP (CoAPS) or Object Security for
   Constrained RESTful Environments (OSCORE) to provide encrypted DNS
   message exchange for constrained devices in the Internet of Things
   (IoT).

1.  Introduction

   This document defines DNS over CoAP (DoC), a protocol to send DNS
   [RFC1035] queries and get DNS responses over the Constrained
   Application Protocol (CoAP) [RFC7252].  Each DNS query-response pair
   is mapped into a CoAP message exchange.  Each CoAP message is secured
   by DTLS [RFC6347] or Object Security for Constrained RESTful
   Environments (OSCORE) [RFC8613] to ensure message integrity and
   confidentiality.

   The application use case of DoC is inspired by DNS over HTTPS
   [RFC8484] (DoH).  DoC, however, aims for the deployment in the
   constrained Internet of Things (IoT), which usually conflicts with
   the requirements introduced by HTTPS.

   To prevent TCP and HTTPS resource requirements, constrained IoT
   devices could use DNS over DTLS [RFC8094].  In contrast to DNS over
   DTLS, DoC utilizes CoAP features to mitigate drawbacks of datagram-
   based communication.  These features include: block-wise transfer,
   which solves the Path MTU problem of DNS over DTLS (see [RFC8094],
   section 5); CoAP proxies, which provide an additional level of
   caching; re-use of data structures for application traffic and DNS
   information, which saves memory on constrained devices.

   To prevent resource requirements of DTLS or TLS on top of UDP (e.g.,
   introduced by DNS over QUIC [RFC9250]), DoC allows for lightweight
   end-to-end payload encryption based on OSCORE.

Internet-Draft                     DoC                         July 2022


   The most important components of DoC can be seen in Figure 1: A DoC
   client tries to resolve DNS information by sending DNS queries
   carried within CoAP requests to a DoC server.  That DoC server may or
   may not resolve that DNS information itself by using other DNS
   transports with an upstream DNS server.  The DoC server then replies
   to the DNS queries with DNS responses carried within CoAP responses.

2.  Terminology

   A server that provides the service specified in this document is
   called a "DoC server" to differentiate it from a classic "DNS
   server".  Correspondingly, a client using this protocol to retrieve
   the DNS information is called a "DoC client".

   The term "constrained nodes" is used as defined in [RFC7228].

   The terms "CoAP payload" and "CoAP body" are used as defined in
   [RFC7959].

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  Selection of a DoC Server

   In this document, it is assumed that the DoC client knows the DoC
   server and the DNS resource at the DoC server.  Possible options
   could be manual configuration of a URI [RFC3986] or CRI
   [I-D.ietf-core-href], or automatic configuration, e.g., using a CoRE
   resource directory [RFC9176], DHCP or Router Advertisement options
   [I-D.ietf-add-dnr].  Automatic configuration SHOULD only be done from
   a trusted source.

   When discovering the DNS resource through a link mechanism that
   allows describing a resource type (e.g., the Resource Type Attribute
   in [RFC6690]), the resource type "core.dns" can be used to identify a
   generic DNS resolver that is available to the client.

Internet-Draft                     DoC                         July 2022


4.1.  The "application/dns-message" Content-Format

   This document defines the Internet media type "application/dns-
   message" for the CoAP Content-Format.  This media type is defined as
   in [RFC8484] Section 6, i.e., a single DNS message encoded in the DNS
   on-the-wire format [RFC1035].  Both DoC client and DoC server MUST be
   able to parse contents in the "application/dns-message" format.

4.2.  DNS Queries in CoAP Requests

   A DoC client encodes a single DNS query in one or more CoAP request
   messages the CoAP FETCH [RFC8132] method.  Requests SHOULD include an
   Accept option to indicate the type of content that can be parsed in
   the response.

   The CoAP request SHOULD be carried in a Confirmable (CON) message, if
   the transport used does not provide reliable message exchange.

4.2.1.  Request Format

   When sending a CoAP request, a DoC client MUST include the DNS query
   in the body of the CoAP request.  As specified in [RFC8132]
   Section 2.3.1, the type of content of the body MUST be indicated
   using the Content-Format option.  This document specifies the usage
   of Content-Format "application/dns-message" (details see
   Section 4.1).  A DoC server MUST be able to parse requests of
   Content-Format "application/dns-message".

4.2.2.  Support of CoAP Caching

   The DoC client SHOULD set the ID field of the DNS header always to 0
   to enable a CoAP cache (e.g., a CoAP proxy en-route) to respond to
   the same DNS queries with a cache entry.  This ensures that the CoAP
   Cache-Key (see [RFC8132] Section 2) does not change when multiple DNS
   queries for the same DNS data, carried in CoAP requests, are issued.

4.2.3.  Examples

   The following example illustrates the usage of a CoAP message to
   resolve "example.org.  IN AAAA" based on the URI
   "coaps://[2001:db8::1]/".  The CoAP body is encoded in "application/
   dns-message" Content Format.

            01 00 01                                        [binary]

4.3.  DNS Responses in CoAP Responses

   Each DNS query-response pair is mapped to a CoAP REST request-
   response operation.  DNS responses are provided in the body of the
   CoAP response.  A DoC server MUST be able to produce responses in the
   "application/dns-message" Content-Format (details see Section 4.1)
   when requested.  A DoC client MUST understand responses in
   "application/dns-message" format when it does not send an Accept
   option.  Any other response format than "application/dns-message"
   MUST be indicated with the Content-Format option by the DoC server.

4.3.1.  Response Codes and Handling DNS and CoAP errors

   A DNS response indicates either success or failure in the Response
   code of the DNS header (see [RFC1035] Section 4.1.1).  It is
   RECOMMENDED that CoAP responses that carry any valid DNS response use
   a "2.05 Content" response code.

   CoAP responses use non-successful response codes MUST NOT contain a
   DNS response and MUST only be used on errors in the CoAP layer or
   when a request does not fulfill the requirements of the DoC protocol.

   Communication errors with a DNS server (e.g., timeouts) SHOULD be
   indicated by including a SERVFAIL DNS response in a successful CoAP
   response.

   A DoC client might try to repeat a non-successful exchange unless
   otherwise prohibited.  The DoC client might also decide to repeat a
   non-successful exchange with a different URI, for instance, when the
   response indicates an unsupported Content-Format.

4.3.2.  Support of CoAP Caching

   The DoC server MUST ensure that any sum of the Max-Age value of a
   CoAP response and any TTL in the DNS response is less or equal to the
   corresponding TTL received from an upstream DNS server.  This also
   includes the default Max-Age value of 60 seconds (see [RFC7252],
   section 5.10.5) when no Max-Age option is provided.  The DoC client
   MUST then add the Max-Age value of the carrying CoAP response to all
   TTLs in a DNS response on reception and use these calculated TTLs for
   the associated records.



Lenders, et al.          Expires 12 January 2023                [Page 6]

Internet-Draft                     DoC                         July 2022


   The RECOMMENDED algorithm to assure the requirement for the DoC is to
   set the Max-Age option of a response to the minimum TTL of a DNS
   response and to subtract this value from all TTLs of that DNS
   response.  This prevents expired records unintentionally being served
   from an intermediate CoAP cache.  Additionally, it allows for the
   ETag value for cache validation, if it is based on the content of the
   response, not to change even if the TTL values are updated by an
   upstream DNS cache.  If only one record set per DNS response is
   assumed, a simplification of this algorithm is to just set all TTLs
   in the response to 0 and set the TTLs at the DoC client to the value
   of the Max-Age option.

4.3.3.  Examples

   The following examples illustrate the replies to the query
   "example.org.  IN AAAA record", recursion turned on.  Successful
   responses carry one answer record including address
   2001:db8:1::1:2:3:4 and TTL 58719.

   A successful response:

   2.05 Content
   Content-Format: application/dns-message
   Max-Age: 58719
   Payload: 00 00 81 a0 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 00 07 65 78 61 [binary]
            6d 70 6c 65 03 6f 72 67 00 00 1c 00 01 c0 0c 00 [binary]
            1c 00 01 00 01 37 49 00 10 20 01 0d b8 00 01 00 [binary]
            00 00 01 00 02 00 03 00 04                      [binary]

   When a DNS error (SERVFAIL in this case) is noted in the DNS
   response, the CoAP response still indicates success:

   2.05 Content
   Content-Format: application/dns-message
   Payload: 00 00 81 a2 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 07 65 78 61 [binary]
            6d 70 6c 65 03 6f 72 67 00 00 1c 00 01          [binary]

   When an error occurs on the CoAP layer, the DoC server SHOULD respond
   with an appropriate CoAP error, for instance "4.15 Unsupported
   Content-Format" if the Content-Format option in the request was not
   set to "application/dns-message" and the Content-Format is not
   otherwise supported by the server.

Internet-Draft                     DoC                         July 2022


5.1.  DoC Server Considerations

   In the case of CNAME records in a DNS response, a DoC server SHOULD
   follow common DNS resolver behavior [RFC1034] by resolving a CNAME
   until the originally requested resource record type is reached.  This
   reduces the number of message exchanges within an LLN.

   The DoC server SHOULD send compact answers, i.e., additional or
   authority sections in the DNS response should only be sent if needed
   or if it is anticipated that they help the DoC client to reduce
   additional queries.

5.2.  Observing the DNS Resource

   There are use cases where updating a DNS record might be necessary on
   the fly.  Examples of this include e.g.  [RFC8490], Section 4.1.2,
   but just saving messages by omitting the query for a subscribed name
   might also be valid.  As such, the DNS resource MAY be observable as
   specified in [RFC7641].

5.3.  OSCORE

   It is RECOMMENDED to carry DNS messages end-to-end encrypted using
   OSCORE [RFC8611].  The exchange of the security context is out of
   scope of this document.

6.  Considerations for Unencrypted Use

   While not recommended, DoC can be used without any encryption (e.g.,
   in very constrained environments where encryption is not possible or
   necessary).  It can also be used when lower layers provide secure
   communication between client and server.  In both cases, potential
   benefits of unencrypted DoC usage over classic DNS are e.g. block-
   wise transfer or alternative CoAP Content-Formats to overcome link-
   layer constraints.

7.  Security Considerations

   TODO Security

8.  IANA Considerations

8.1.  New "application/dns-message" Content-Format

   IANA is requested to assign CoAP Content-Format ID for the DNS
   message media type in the "CoAP Content-Formats" sub-registry, within
   the "CoRE Parameters" registry [RFC7252], corresponding the
   "application/dns-message" media type from the "Media Types" registry:

Appendix A.  Change Log

A.1.  Since draft-lenders-dns-over-coap-03
      (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-lenders-dns-over-
      coap-03)

   *  Remove TBD on CoRE resource directory in Section 1.  Optional
      usage of CoRE-RD is already discussed in Section 3

   *  Remove TBD on "request text duplication" in Appendix A.  This
      issue will be handled in a separate draft on a new CBOR-based
      content format

      considerations on proxy / DoC server behavior and late responses
      are general CoAP problems.

   *  Be more precise when Confirmable (CON) messages SHOULD be used in
      Section 4.2

A.2.  Since draft-lenders-dns-over-coap-02
      (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-lenders-dns-over-
      coap-02)

   *  Clarify server selection to be out-of-band and define "core.dns"
      resource type in Section 3 and Section 8.2

   *  Add message manipulation considerations for DoC servers in
      Section 5.1

   *  Update Considerations for Unencrypted Use in Section 6

A.3.  Since draft-lenders-dns-over-coap-01

      coap-01)

   *  Remove GET and POST methods

   *  Add note on ETag and response codes

   *  Provide requirement conflict for DNS over QUIC

   *  Clarify Content-Format / Accept handling

   *  Soften Content-Format requirements in Section 4.2.1 and
      Section 4.3

   *  Clarify "CoAP payload"/"CoAP body" terminology

   *  Fix nits and typos

A.5.  Since draft-lenders-dns-over-coaps-00
      (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-lenders-dns-over-
      coaps-00)

   *  Clarification in abstract that both DTLS and OSCORE can be used as
      secure transport

   *  Restructuring of Section 4:

      -  Add dedicated Section 4.1 on Content-Format

      -  Add overview table about usable and required features for
         request method types to Section 4.2

      -  Add dedicated Section 4.2.2 and Section 4.3.2 on caching
         requirements for CoAP requests and responses

   *  Fix nits and typos
