DANE is a set of mechanisms and techniques that allow Internet applications to establish cryptographically secured communications by using information made available in DNS. By binding the key information to a domain name and protecting that binding with DNSSEC, applications can easily discover autenticated keys for services. Objective: The DANE WG will process documents that describe how to incorporate DANE and DANE-like functionality in protocols, and mechanisms to facilitate adoption of this functionality. The DANE working group will also assist other working groups with adding DANE functionality to their work. In addition the working group will monitor and provide guidance to operators and tool developers. When work on currently chartered documents is complete the WG may re-charter if sufficiently pressing new work is identified. DANE is not intended to be a long-lived catch-all WG for all PKI in DNS issues and so will generally not adopt new work items without re-chartering. Problem Statement: The DANE working group has developed a framework for securely retrieving keying information from the DNS [RFC6698]. This framework allows secure storing and looking up server public key information in the DNS. This provides a binding between a domain name providing a particular service and the key that can be used to establish encrypted connection to that service. By requiring DNSSEC protection for the lookup of the public key information, DANE leverages the integrity protection provided by DNSSEC to enable secure discovery of keying information. Operators wanting to take advantage of DANE for their services must turn on DNSSEC signing on the zones used in finding the services. Using DNS this way, bindings of keys to domains are asserted by the entities that operate the DNS for that domain, not by external entities. The DANE mechanisms provide flexibility in how the keying information is presented. DANE supports both Certificates and raw keys, further more Certificates and raw keys can be either the full key or a hash of the key. The group will work on documenting the different approaches to use DANE keying, and the security implication of each. In addition the WG may develop a framework(s) to facilitate the lookup "client" DANE records for authorization/authentication purposes. The group may also create documents that describe how protocol entities can discover and validate these bindings in the execution of specific applications. This work would be done in coordination with the IETF Working Groups responsible for the protocols. The group may in addition encourage interoperability testing and document the results of such testing.
