Sharon Goldberg, Can NSEC5 be practical for DNSSEC deployments?

Sharon Goldberg is an associate professor in the Computer Science Department at Boston University.

NSEC5 is a new proposal for providing authenticated denial of existence for DNSSEC, i.e., for securely responding to DNS queries for names that do not exist in a zone.  NSEC5 simultaneously guarantees two security properties: (1) privacy against zone enumeration, and (2) integrity of zone contents, even if an adversary compromises the authoritative nameserver responsible for responding to DNS queries for the zone.  By contrast, today's DNSSEC protocol can guarantee one of these properties, but not both.
