FISMA Requires DNSSEC on Internal Networks

If you work for a federal agency, you are probably aware of the OMB mandate that requires you to deploy DNSSEC on your external DNS by December 2009. Think you are out of the DNSSEC woods at that point? Think again.

According to a presentation at the recent GovSec conference by Doug Montgomery, Manager Internet Technologies Research Group at NIST, agencies should also be planning how they are going to sign their internal DNS. Why? Because revision 3 of NIST SP 800-53 says they must.

This new revision of the NIST document prescribes DNSSEC deployment for all federal IT systems (low, medium and high impact), which, of course, includes internal DNS systems. Once the initial draft of this document is finalized, which is expected to happen in May 2009, agencies will have one year to comply.

During the same DNSSEC session at GovSec, Susan Lightman, of the Office of Management and Budget, also indicated that OMB would begin conducting spot checks of agency’s DNSSEC deployment progress beginning in May or June of this year.

  1. NIST SP 800-53 Rev3 DNS RELATED CONTROLS

    Revision 3 contains 4 Technical “System and Communications Protection” controls affecting transmission integrity, secure name/address resolution service including authoritative and recursive (cashing) resolvers and the architecture and provisioning of DNS. The DNS related controls require DNS to be fault tolerant and implement internal/external role separation, usage of transmission cryptography mechanisms to maintain data integrity, establishment of chain of trust for domains and authentication and verification of data origin.

    The DNSSEC related controls for Special Publication 800-53, Revision 3 include:


    SC-8 TRANSMISSION INTEGRITY

    SC-20 SECURE NAME / ADDRESS RESOLUTION SERVICE (AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE)

    SC-21 SECURE NAME / ADDRESS RESOLUTION SERVICE (RECURSIVE OR CACHING RESOLVER)
