To this end a new field is added to + the second layer hidden service descriptor [tor-rend-spec-v3] § 2.5.2.2. + with the following format: + + "caa" SP flags SP tag SP value NL + [Any number of times] + + The contents of "flag", "tag", and "value" are as per [RFC8659] § 4.1.1. + Multiple CAA records may be present, as is the case in the DNS. + + A hidden service's second layer descriptor using CAA may look + something like the following: + + create2-formats 2 + single-onion-service + caa 0 issue "example.com" + caa 0 iodef "mailto:security@example.com" + caa 128 validationmethods "onion-csr-01" + introduction-point AwAGsAk5nSMpAhRqhMHbTFCTSlfhP8f5PqUhe6DatgMgk7kSL3KHCZ... + + As the CAA records are in the second layer descriptor and in the case of a + hidden service requiring client authentication it is impossible to read them + without the hidden service trusting a CA's public key, a method is required to + signal that there are CAA records present (but not reveal their contents, + which may disclose unwanted information about the hidden service operator to + third parties). This is to allow a CA to know that it must attempt to check + CAA records before issuance, and fail if it is unable to do so. + + To this end a new field is added to the first layer hidden service descriptor + [tor-rend-spec-v3] § 2.5.1.2. with the following format: + + "caa-critical" NL + [At most once] + +Security Considerations: + The second layer descriptor is signed and MACed in a way that only a party + with access to the secret key of the hidden service could manipulate what is + published there. Therefore, Tor CAA records have at least the same security as + those in the DNS secured by DNSSEC. + + The "caa-critical" flag is visible to anyone with knowledge of the hidden + service's public key, however it reveals no information that could be used to + de-anonymize the hidden service operator. + + The CAA flags in the second layer descriptor may reveal information about the + hidden service operator if they choose to publish an "iodef", "contactemail", + or "contactphone" tag. These however are not required for primary goal of CAA, + that is to restrict which CAs may issue certificates for a given domain name. + + No more information is revealed by the "issue" nor "issuewild" tags than would + be revealed by someone making a connection to the hidden service and noting + which certificate is presented. + +Compatibility: + The hidden service spec [tor-rend-spec-v3] already requires that clients + ignore unknown lines when decoding hidden service descriptors, so this change + should not cause any compatibility issues. Additionally in testing no + compatibility issues where found with existing Tor implementations. + + A hidden service with CAA records published in its descriptor is available at + znkiu4wogurrktkqqid2efdg4nvztm7d2jydqenrzeclfgv3byevnbid.onion, to allow + further compatibility testing. + +References: + [I-D.misell-acme-onion] + Misell, Q., "Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) + Extensions for ".onion" Domain Names", Internet-Draft + draft-misell-acme-onion-02, April 2023, + <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-misell-acme-onion-02>. + + [RFC8659] Hallam-Baker, P., Stradling, R., and J.
