• DNSSEC migration sanity check

    From John W. Blue@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 19 18:45:54 2020
    We are in the process of moving from one IPAM vendor to another.

    All of our zones are DNSSEC signed and the TTL's have been lowered to 300 seconds.

    At a high level, the playbook is to update the registrar with names/IP addresses of the new servers and update the DSKEY. Depending on the time of the day that the cutover actually happens at we know the process to request of the registrar an out of
    band data push so the new servers will be seen by the open Internet.

    A suggestion have been put forth that we should unsign our zones prior to migration but I am skeptical of the benefits of doing so.

    Are we missing something obvious?

    John

    Not sure I understand why you need to do anything except change the authoritative NS records in the zone and in the delegation at the
    registrar. You also only really need to decrease the TTL on the NS
    records, not all of the records in the zone. Why touch any keys and
    the corresponding DS records?

    Are we missing some complication in your deployment?

    Hi John,

    It all depends on the key material that is used to sign your zone. It
    looks like you have to update the DNSKEY RRset, so I assume the vendors
    are responsible for signing and each have their own key material.

    In order to let the world know you are going to use new keys you will
    have to pre-publish them in your zone. The DNSKEY RRset should be the
    same in both versions of the zone . Also introduce the new NS records in
    the child zone at the losing vendor.

    Approximately one TTL (300 seconds in your case) later the new DNSKEY
    RRset should be propagated and you can swap the DS and NS at the parent.
    And when the DS and NS records of the one vendor have expired you can
    remove the old key material from the zone.

    For a bit more background on this you can take a look at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6781#section-4.3.5

    In most cases there is no need to go insecure. The RFC section I refer
    to have some considerations why you might want to go insecure during the transition.

    Hope this helps,

    - Matthijs
