--- abstract
This document retires the use of ECC-GOST within DNSSEC.
--- middle
The use of the GOST R 34.10-2001 and GOST R 34.11-94 algorithms with the DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) [RFC9364] was documented in {{RFC5933}}. These two algorithms were deprecated by the Orders of the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology of Russia (Rosstandart) in August 2012, and were superseded by GOST 34.10-2012 and GOST 34.11-2012 respectively. The use of GOST 34.10-2012 and GOST 34.11-2012 in DNSSEC is documented in {{RFC9558}}, and so {{RFC5933}} has been made Historic.
Thus, the use of GOST R 34.10-2001 (mnemonic GOST-ECC) and and GOST R 34.11-94 is no longer recommended for use in DNSSEC {{RFC9364}}.
Note that this document does not change or discuss the use of GOST 34.10-2012 and GOST 34.11-2012.
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.
The GOST R 34.11-94 {{RFC5933}} algorithm MUST NOT be used when creating DS records. Validating resolvers MUST treat GOST R 34.11-94 DS records as insecure. If no other DS records of accepted cryptographic algorithms are available, the DNS records below the delegation point MUST be treated as insecure.
The ECC-GOST {{RFC5933}} algorithm MUST NOT be used when creating DNSKEY and RRSIG records. Validating resolvers MUST treat RRSIG records created from DNSKEY records using these algorithms as an unsupported algorithm. If no other RRSIG records of accepted cryptographic algorithms are available, the validating resolver MUST consider the associated resource records as Insecure.
This document increases the security of the DNSSEC ecosystem by deprecating algorithms that make use of older algorithms with ECC-GOST derived uses.
Zone owners currently making use of ECC-GOST based algorithms should immediate switch to algorithms with stronger cryptographic strengths. DNS registries {{?RFC9499}} should prohibit their clients to upload and publish ECC-GOST based DS records.
IANA is requested to set the "Use for DNSSEC Signing", "Use for DNSSEC Validation", "Implement for DNSSEC Signing", and "Implement for DNSSEC Validation" columns of the DNS Security Algorithm Numbers registry {{DNSKEY-IANA}} for ECC-GOST (23) to MUST NOT. Note that previously the "Use for DNSSEC Signing" and "Implement for DNSSEC Delegation" columns were already MUST NOT.
IANA is requested to set the "Use for DNSSEC Delegation", "Use for DNSSEC Validation", "Implement for DNSSEC Delegation", and "Implement for DNSSEC Validation" columns of the "Digest Algorithms" registry {{DS-IANA}} for GOST R 34.11-94 (3) to MUST NOT. Note that previously the "Use for DNSSEC Signing" and "Implement for DNSSEC Delegation" columns were already MUST NOT.
