Can not claim reserved name from .org .info and some other TLDs

Open pinheadmz opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Importing discussion from: https://github.com/handshake-org/handshake-org.github.io/issues/59# and https://www.reddit.com/r/handshake/comments/fnzwai/help_with_name_claim/

Short answer why these CLAIMs are rejected by hsd:

It's because the TLD operator is using a weak key to sign their zone.

Solution:

.org nameholders need to contact Public Interest Registry

.info nameholders need to contact Afilias

...and demand that these essential internet infrastructure custodians upgrade the security on their DNSSEC.

More details:

Handshake reserved name claims are DNSSEC proofs that are submitted on the blockchain. They consist of a chain of signatures starting with the ICANN root zone, include your TLD and finally a TXT record in your own domain. Each of those signatures may have a different key type, depending on the operator of a particular zone.

Certain key types are considered "weak" if they include weak hash functions like SHA-1, and they are therefore not valid in Handshake reserved name claims, because it would be irresponsible to allow it.

Read: SHA-1 is broken

The relevant code is in the bns module here:

https://github.com/chjj/bns/blob/03b0ea5e7587774c0c3ad363f094a069acc1e60b/lib/ownership.js#L535-L537

and

The actual consensus rule was deployed in hsd here, just before mainnet launch:

https://github.com/handshake-org/hsd/commit/05a232294949f84a6d909b052eef2b9faeb3953f

Is my domain valid?

There are many web-based tools to inspect DNSSEC, consider this example for blockchain.info. There are green lights all the way down indicating a valid DNSSEC chain, however you can see the key type in the .info zone uses SHA-1.

Here is what a strong DNSSEC chain looks like:

The owner of crypto51.app was able to submit their DNSSEC chain to the Handshake blockchain and claim their name crypto51 in block 2350

Here's the DNSSEC chain for crypto51.app:

Update: the managers of .org have a whole mailing list just to discuss the topic of deprecating SHA1 in their DNSSEC: https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/org-algorithm-roll/

pinheadmz avatar Sep 06 '20 03:09 pinheadmz

.org and .info are now SHA256.

Many others still are not. All UNR extensions appear to be SHA1. Any list of others?

Here is the IANA root zone: https://www.internic.net/domain/root.zone

Search it for names that have either zero DS records, or only have DS records with algorithm identifiers < 8 (something like that)
