PLEASE NOTE: Upcoming changes in Let's Encrypt issuer certificates
by Viktor Dukhovni 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

Please note that the Let's Encrypt intermediate CA certificate "X3" will soon be phased out in favour of "R3" and "E1" which have new keys, and so any DANE TLSA "2 1 1" records matching "X3" will not match "R3" or "E1". https://letsencrypt.org/2020/09/17/new-root-and-intermediates.html If you are using Let's Encrypt with DANE-TA(2) [issuer CA] TLSA records, any extant "2 1 1" records need to be augmented soon with additional records matching the new "R3" and "E1", in advance of these reissuing your certificates. Failure to act in time is likely to result in an outage once renewals switch to signing via "R3" or "E1". Links to the actual certificates can be found at: https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/ https://letsencrypt.org/certs/lets-encrypt-r3.pem https://letsencrypt.org/certs/lets-encrypt-e1.pem The "2 1 1" digests of "R3" and "E1" are (but don't take my word for it, re-compute these for yourself): ; $ tlsagen lets-encrypt-r3.pem smtp.example.org 2 1 1 ; _25._tcp.smtp.example.org. IN TLSA 2 1 1 8D02536C887482BC34FF54E41D2BA659BF85B341A0A20AFADB5813DCFBCF286D ; $ tlsagen lets-encrypt-e1.pem smtp.example.org 2 1 1 ; _25._tcp.smtp.example.org. IN TLSA 2 1 1 276FE8A8C4EC7611565BF9FCE6DCACE9BE320C1B5BEA27596B2204071ED04F10 The above were computed with the attached "tlsagen" script, but it is prudent to also check with tools from other sources, this email message could well have been a forgery (I hope your copy matches what I sent). -- Viktor.

DANE-TA TLSA records for LE and Buypass Go
by Kirill Miazine 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Hi, dane-users I'd like to share that a couple of months ago I've set up tlsa.is to host always up-to-date TLSA records for Let's Encrypt and Buypass Go. The records are generated automatically. At the time of writing they look as following: ; Let's Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/) _letsencrypt TLSA 2 1 1 60b87575447dcba2a36b7d11ac09fb24a9db406fee12d2cc90180517616e8a18 TLSA 2 1 1 8d02536c887482bc34ff54e41d2ba659bf85b341a0a20afadb5813dcfbcf286d TLSA 2 1 1 276fe8a8c4ec7611565bf9fce6dcace9be320c1b5bea27596b2204071ed04f10 TLSA 2 1 1 b111dd8a1c2091a89bd4fd60c57f0716cce50feeff8137cdbee0326e02cf362b TLSA 2 1 1 e5545e211347241891c554a03934cde9b749664a59d26d615fe58f77990f2d03 TLSA 2 1 1 bd936e72b212ef6f773102c6b77d38f94297322efc25396bc3279422e0c89270 *._letsencrypt CNAME _letsencrypt ; Buypass (https://www.buypass.com/security/buypass-root-certificates) _buypass-go TLSA 2 1 1 42519999c31433a6bcf82c4bd9399301fa180a6f9f5c0a2e033cca602c46a2cb *._buypass-go CNAME _buypass-go Using the records is easy: ; Using CNAME for a single service _25._tcp.mail IN CNAME _letsencrypt.tlsa.is. ; Using DNAME for all services _tcp.mail6 IN DNAME _letsencrypt.tlsa.is. More details -- and the code behind this for local deployments -- are all available at https://tlsa.is/. I've set up automatic monitoring of the web pages where signing details are published and intend to keep this running, but any use is on own risk. Please let me know if you have discovered an error, if some TLSA records for the supported authorities should be added, deleted or updated. Best Kirill -- -- Kirill Miazine <km(a)krot.org>

Update on stats 2020-10
by Viktor Dukhovni 31 Oct '20

31 Oct '20

Summary: The DANE domain count is now 2,312,209 The number of domains that return DNSSEC-validated replies in response to MX queries is 12,951,015. Thus DANE TLSA is deployed on ~17.85% of domains with DNSSEC. Please be mindful of the upcoming Let's Encrypt Issuer CA switch from X3/X4 to R3/R4 and E1/E2. See: http://dnssec-stats.ant.isi.edu/~viktor/x3hosts.html Credits: The coverage of DNSSEC domains continues to improve with ongoing data support from Paul Vixie of Farsight Security. Credits also due to ICANN for gTLD data via CZDS, and to the TLD registries for .CH, .COM, .DK, .FR, .INFO, .IS, .LI, .NL, .NU, .ORG and .SE. More data sources of ccTLD signed delegations welcome. As of today I count 2,312,209 domains with correct SMTP DANE TLSA records at every primary MX host that accepts connections[1]. As expected, the bulk of the DANE domains are hosted by the DNS/email hosting providers who've enabled DANE support for the customer domains they host. The top 20 MX host providers by domain count are below.

Speaking of countries, the IPv4 GeoIP distribution of DANE-enabled MX hosts shows the below top 20 countries (each unique IP address is counted, so multi-homed MX hosts are perhaps somewhat over-represented).

The number of published MX host TLSA RRsets found is 9618 (9296 last month). These cover 10622 (10309 last month) distinct MX hosts (some MX hosts share the same TLSA records through CNAMEs). The number of DANE domains that at some point were listed in Gmail's email transparency report is 389 (395 last month, this is my ad-hoc criterion for a domain being a large-enough actively used email domain).

While this protects traffic to some of the MX hosts, such domains are still vulnerable to the usual active attacks via the remaining MX hosts. The number of domains with incorrect TLSA records or failure to advertise STARTTLS (even though TLSA records are published) stands today at 771 (706 last month). Some of these have additional MX hosts that don't have broken TLSA records, so mail can still arrive via the remaining MX hosts. To avoid email outages, please make sure to monitor the validity of your own TLSA records, and implement a reliable key rotation procedure.

[1] Some domains deliberately include MX hosts that are always down, presumably as a hurdle to botnet SMTP code that gives up where real MTAs might persist. I am not a fan of this type of defence (it can also impose undue latency on legitimate email). However, provided the dead hosts still have TLSA records, (which don't need to match anything, just need to exist and be well-formed) there's no loss of security.
