gzipped error messages served as zone files
by Joe Wein Feb. 7, 2022

Feb. 7, 2022

Some recent CZDS zone file downloads were missing all zone data. Specifically, the gzipped files were not empty, but their content was error messages, not zone file data. For example: $ gunzip < bayern.zone.gz ;; Couldn't verify signature: expected a TSIG or SIG(0) ; Transfer failed. ;; Couldn't verify signature: expected a TSIG or SIG(0) $ gunzip < jot.zone.gz ;; Couldn't create key icann-axfr: bad base64 encoding ; Transfer failed. ;; Couldn't create key icann-axfr: bad base64 encoding "Transfer failed" should be a dead giveaway that something went wrong. Can we please improve error handling on the portal side so that output of a "dig axfr" to make a snapshot for distribution is only ever packaged up as a .gz file for download by CZDS users if it at least has a valid SOA record in its first few lines? Regards Joe Wein SURBL

CZDS renewal limbo for xn--kput3i since 2021-08-25
by Viktor Dukhovni Feb. 2, 2022

Feb. 2, 2022

My renewal request for access to xn--kput3i zone data has been unanswered (neither approved nor denied) since 2021-08-25. A complaint was filed a couple of weeks later, to no effect. Anyone else in the same boat? What can be done to get this moving forward? (I've long given up on getting initial approval for .discover and .citadel, requested soon three years ago on 2019-01-29). -- Viktor.

[ICANN CZDS] Issue with gTLD zone downloads via CZDS on 2022-01-11
by Eduardo Alvarez Jan. 11, 2022

Jan. 11, 2022

Dear CZDS users, We have identified that the access to some of the gTLD zone files was impacted today 2022-01-11, in which approved users downloading the zone would get the uncompressed zone file instead of the gzip-compressed file. This issue has now been addressed and the system is providing the compressed files once again. If you have any questions, please let us know Regards, Eduardo Alvarez ICANN

Call for Participation -- ICANN DNSSEC and Security Workshop for ICANN71 Virtual Community Forum
by Jacques Latour May 5, 2021

May 5, 2021

Hi all! The DNSSEC Deployment Initiative and the Internet Society, in cooperation with the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), are planning a DNSSEC and Security Workshop for the ICANN71 Virtual Policy Forum being held from 14-17 June 2021. This workshop date will be determined once ICANN creates a block schedule for us to follow; then we will be able to request a day and time. The DNSSEC and Security Workshop has been a part of ICANN meetings for several years and has provided a forum for both experienced and new people to meet, present and discuss current and future DNSSEC deployments. For reference, the most recent session was held at the ICANN70 Virtual Meeting on 24 March 2021. The presentations and transcripts are available at: https://tinyurl.com/57y5jzbz, https://tinyurl.com/u56v6kk7, and https://tinyurl.com/x29ets46. The DNSSEC Workshop Program Committee is developing a program. Proposals will be considered for the following topic areas and included if space permits. In addition, we welcome suggestions for additional topics either for inclusion in the ICANN71 workshop, or for consideration for future workshops. 1. Global DNSSEC Activities Panel For this panel, we are seeking participation from those who have been involved in DNSSEC deployment as well as from those who have not deployed DNSSEC but who have a keen interest in the challenges and benefits of deployment, including Root Key Signing Key (KSK) Rollover activities and plans. 2. DNSSEC Best Practice Now that DNSSEC has become an operational norm for many registries, registrars, and ISPs, what have we learned about how we manage DNSSEC? Do you still submit/accept DS records with Digest Type 1? What is the best practice around key roll-overs? What about Algorithm roll-overs? Do you use and support DNSKEY Algorithms 13-16? How often do you review your disaster recovery procedures? Is there operational familiarity within your customer support teams? What operational statistics have we gathered about DNSSEC? Are there experiences being documented in the form of best practices, or something similar, for transfer of signed zones? Activities and issues related to DNSSEC in the DNS Root Zone are also desired. 3. DNSSEC Deployment Challenges The program committee is seeking input from those that are interested in implementation of DNSSEC but have general or particular concerns with DNSSEC. In particular, we are seeking input from individuals that would be willing to participate in a panel that would discuss questions of the following nature: - Are there any policies directly or indirectly impeding your DNSSEC deployment? (RRR model, CDS/CDNSKEY automation) - What are your most significant concerns with DNSSEC, e.g., complexity, training, implementation, operation or something else? - What do you expect DNSSEC to do for you and what doesn't it do? - What do you see as the most important trade-offs with respect to doing or not doing DNSSEC? 4. Security Panel The program committee is looking for presentations on DNS and Routing topics that could impact the security and/or stability of the internet. . - DoH and DoT implementation issues, challenges and opportunities - RPKI adoption and implementation issues, challenges and opportunities - BGP/routing/hijack issues, challenges and opportunities - MANRS implementation challenges and opportunities - Emerging threats that could impact (real or perceived) the security and/or stability of the internet - Domain hacking/hijacking prevention, best practice and techniques - Browser related security implementations - DMARC Challenges, opportunities and Best Practices - BGP Flowspec challenges, opportunities and Best Practices If you are interested in participating, please send a brief (1-2 sentence) description of your proposed presentation to dnssec-thehague(a)isoc.org<mailto:dnssec-thehague@isoc.org> by Friday, 14 May 2021 Thank you, Kathy and Andrew On behalf of the DNSSEC Workshop Program Committee: Mark Elkins, DNS/ZACR Jacques Latour, .CA Russ Mundy, Parsons Ondrej Filip, CZ.NIC Yoshiro Yoneya, JPRS Fred Baker, ISC Dan York, Internet Society CLASSIFICATION:CONFIDENTIAL
