NAME
Net::DNS::RR::TSIG - DNS TSIG resource record
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS;
$tsig = Net::DNS::RR::TSIG->create( $keyfile );
$tsig = Net::DNS::RR::TSIG->create( $keyfile,
fudge => 300
);
DESCRIPTION
Class for DNS Transaction Signature (TSIG) resource records.
METHODS
The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented
by the type-specific methods defined in this package.
Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data
structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or
other unpredictable behaviour.
algorithm
$algorithm = $rr->algorithm;
$rr->algorithm( $algorithm );
A domain name which specifies the name of the algorithm.
key
$rr->key( $key );
Base64 representation of the key material.
keybin
$rr->keybin( $keybin );
Binary representation of the key material.
time_signed
$time_signed = $rr->time_signed;
$rr->time_signed( $time_signed );
Signing time as the number of seconds since 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC.
The default signing time is the current time.
fudge
$fudge = $rr->fudge;
$rr->fudge( $fudge );
"fudge" represents the permitted error in the signing time. The
default fudge is 300 seconds.
mac
$rr->mac( $mac );
Message authentication code (MAC). The programmer must call the
Net::DNS::Packet data() object method before this will return anything
meaningful.
macbin
$macbin = $rr->macbin;
$rr->macbin( $macbin );
Binary message authentication code (MAC).
prior_mac
$prior_mac = $rr->prior_mac;
$rr->prior_mac( $prior_mac );
Prior message authentication code (MAC).
prior_macbin
$prior_macbin = $rr->prior_macbin;
$rr->prior_macbin( $prior_macbin );
Binary prior message authentication code.
request_mac
$request_mac = $rr->request_mac;
$rr->request_mac( $request_mac );
Request message authentication code (MAC).
request_macbin
$request_macbin = $rr->request_macbin;
$rr->request_macbin( $request_macbin );
Binary request message authentication code.
original_id
$original_id = $rr->original_id;
$rr->original_id( $original_id );
The message ID from the header of the original packet.
error
vrfyerrstr
$rcode = $tsig->error;
Returns the RCODE covering TSIG processing. Common values are NOERROR,
BADSIG, BADKEY, and BADTIME. See RFC8945 for details.
other
$other = $tsig->other;
This field should be empty unless the error is BADTIME, in which case
it will contain the server time as the number of seconds since 1 Jan
1970 00:00:00 UTC.
sig_function
sub signing_function {
my ( $keybin, $data ) = @_;
my $hmac = Digest::HMAC->new( $keybin, 'Digest::MD5' );
$hmac->add( $data );
return $hmac->digest;
}
$tsig->sig_function( \&signing_function );
This sets the signing function to be used for this TSIG record. The
default signing function is HMAC-MD5.
sig_data
$sigdata = $tsig->sig_data($packet);
Returns the packet packed according to RFC8945 in a form for signing.
This is only needed if you want to supply an external signing function,
such as is needed for TSIG-GSS.
create
$tsig = Net::DNS::RR::TSIG->create( $keyfile );
$tsig = Net::DNS::RR::TSIG->create( $keyfile,
fudge => 300
);
Returns a TSIG RR constructed using the parameters in the specified key
file, which is assumed to have been generated by tsig-keygen.
verify
$verify = $tsig->verify( $data );
$verify = $tsig->verify( $packet );
$verify = $tsig->verify( $reply, $query );
$verify = $tsig->verify( $packet, $prior );
The boolean verify method will return true if the hash over the packet
data conforms to the data in the TSIG itself
TSIG Keys
The TSIG authentication mechanism employs shared secret keys to
establish a trust relationship between two entities.
It should be noted that it is possible for more than one key to be in
use simultaneously between any such pair of entities.
TSIG keys are generated using the tsig-keygen utility distributed with
ISC BIND:
tsig-keygen -a HMAC-SHA256 host1-host2.example.
Other algorithms may be substituted for HMAC-SHA256 in the above
example.
These keys must be protected in a manner similar to private keys, lest
a third party masquerade as one of the intended parties by forging the
message authentication code (MAC).
Configuring BIND Nameserver
The generated key must be added to the /etc/named.conf configuration or
a separate file introduced by the $INCLUDE directive:
key "host1-host2.example. {
algorithm hmac-sha256;
secret "Secret+known+only+by+participating+entities=";
};
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Most of the code in the Net::DNS::RR::TSIG module was contributed by
Chris Turbeville.
Support for external signing functions was added by Andrew Tridgell.
TSIG verification, BIND keyfile handling and support for HMAC-SHA1,
HMAC-SHA224, HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384 and HMAC-SHA512 functions was
added by Dick Franks.
BUGS
A 32-bit representation of time is used, contrary to RFC2845 which
demands 48 bits. This design decision will need to be reviewed before
the code stops working on 7 February 2106.
