1. Introduction
1. 介绍

The Ed25519 [Ed25519] signature algorithm, specifically Ed25519-SHA-512, has been implemented in OpenSSH. RFC 4255 [RFC4255] defines a DNS resource record, "SSHFP", which can be used to publish a fingerprint of the SSH server public key in the DNS. This document updates the IANA "SSHFP RR Types for public key algorithms" registry by adding an algorithm number for Ed25519 [Ed25519].

Ed25519[Ed25519]签名算法,特别是Ed25519-SHA-512,已经在OpenSSH中实现。RFC 4255[RFC4255]定义了一个DNS资源记录“SSHFP”,可用于在DNS中发布SSH服务器公钥的指纹。本文档通过添加Ed25519[Ed25519]的算法编号来更新IANA“公钥算法的SSHFP RR类型”注册表。

2. Ed25519 Public Key with SHA-256 Fingerprint
2. Ed25519带SHA-256指纹的公钥

The encoding of Ed25519 public keys is described in [Ed25519]. In brief, an Ed25519 public key is a 32-octet value representing a 255-bit y-coordinate of an elliptic curve point, and a sign bit indicating the corresponding x-coordinate.

[Ed25519]中描述了Ed25519公钥的编码。简而言之,Ed25519公钥是一个32个八位组的值,表示椭圆曲线点的255位y坐标,符号位表示对应的x坐标。

The SSHFP Resource Record for the Ed25519 public key with SHA-256 fingerprint [FIPS180-4] would, for example, be:

例如,具有SHA-256指纹[FIPS180-4]的Ed25519公钥的SSHFP资源记录为:

ssh.example.com IN SSHFP 4 2 ( a87f1b687ac0e57d2a081a2f2826723 34d90ed316d2b818ca9580ea384d924 01 )

SSHFP 4 2中的ssh.example.com(a87f1b687ac0e57d2a081a2f2826723 34d90ed316d2b818ca9580ea384d924 01)

The following body of the public key file was used as input to generate the above fingerprint:

公钥文件的以下主体用作生成上述指纹的输入:

    ssh-ed25519
    AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIGPKSUTyz1HwHReFVvD5obVsALAgJRNarH4TRpNePnAS
        
    ssh-ed25519
    AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIGPKSUTyz1HwHReFVvD5obVsALAgJRNarH4TRpNePnAS
        

The opaque octet string output produced is placed as is in the RDATA fingerprint field.

生成的不透明八位字节字符串输出按原样放置在RDATA指纹字段中。

3. Security Considerations
3. 安全考虑

The overall security of using SSHFP for SSH host key verification is dependent on the security policies of the SSH host administrator and DNS zone administrator (in transferring the fingerprint), detailed aspects of how verification is done in the SSH implementation, and in the client's diligence in accessing the DNS in a secure manner. Please refer to RFC 4255 [RFC4255] for a discussion of the security considerations.

使用SSHFP进行SSH主机密钥验证的总体安全性取决于SSH主机管理员和DNS区域管理员(在传输指纹时)的安全策略、SSH实现中如何进行验证的详细方面,以及客户端在以安全方式访问DNS方面的努力。有关安全注意事项的讨论,请参阅RFC 4255[RFC4255]。

4. IANA Considerations
4. IANA考虑

IANA has added the following entry to the "SSHFP RR Types for public key algorithms" registry:

IANA已将以下条目添加到“用于公钥算法的SSHFP RR类型”注册表中:

      +--------+-------------+------------+
      | Value  | Description |  Reference |
      +--------+-------------+------------+
      |   4    |    Ed25519  | [RFC7479]  |
      +--------+-------------+------------+
        
      +--------+-------------+------------+
      | Value  | Description |  Reference |
