CIS 8.7 — Ensure Signing Keys are Unique

Profile Applicability

Authoritative Name Server Level 2

Description

Each zone should have a unique Zone Signing Keys (ZSK) and a unique Key Signing Keys (KSK) that is different from all other keys.

Rationale

The ZSK key typically has a shorter expiration date then the KSK, and should be unique from the KSK as well as keys used for other zones. If a private key is compromised, the damage is limited to unique key that was disclosed, rather the compromising multiple zones.

Impact

Not specified.

Audit Procedure

To verify each key is unique, and has unique zone usage, perform the following:

The sample command below will extract the public keys from the key files and count the number of occurrences of each key value

# find $KEYDIR -name '*.key' |  xargs grep -ho 'DNSKEY .*' | sort | uniq -c

The count occurrences preceding each key should be one in the output.

To find the file names of duplicates key values, reuse the find command, but have the grep command report the file names for a given key value. For example:

# find $KEYDIR -name '*.key' |  xargs  grep -l ' <key value>

Remediation

To remediate a duplicate key, perform the following:

Generate a new key to replace the duplicate key using dnssec-keygen and one of the recommended algorithms. An example command is shown below:

# dnssec-keygen -a ECDSAP256SHA256 example.org

Implement a rollover period to phase out the duplicate key and replace it with the the newly generated key.
Once the key is fully deleted from the active use, remove the file.

Default Value

Not specified.
