Q

Computers, by default, are looking to see if a certificate is signed by a “specific” Certification Authority from their list of trusted CAs. True or False?

A

False. Computers are looking to see if the certificate is signed by ANY CAs on their trusted list.

19
Q

What is DANE?

A

The DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities provides an extra step of association by using a TLSA record to provide information to DNS clients that state what CA they should expect a certificate from for your domain name. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks where someone might corrupt the DNS cache to point to their own website, and provide a certificate they issued from a different CA.

20
Q

What are the three fields found in a TLSA record?

A

The certificate usage field, selector field, and matching type field.

21
Q

What are the different values that can be found in the certificate usage field of a TLSA record?

A

0 = PKIX-TA (Certificate Authority Constraint; Only accept defined certificate authorities)

1 = PKIX-EE (Service Certificate Contraint; Only accept defined certificates)

2 = DANE-TA (Trust Anchor Assertion; Only use validated trust anchors)

3 = DANE-EE (Domain Issued Certificate;Disables trust hierarchy inspection so that the client only has to trust the referenced certificate in the TLSA record)

22
Q

What are the different values that can be found in the selector field of a TLSA record?

A
0 = Certificate
1 = SPKI (Public Key)
23
Q

What are the different values that can be found in the matching type field of a TLSA record?

A
0 = Full (exact match)
1 = SHA2 256
2 = SHA2 512
24
Q

In what field is the hash of a TLSA record located in?

A

The Certificate Association Data field.

25
Q

A TLSA record can be created in both DNS Manager and in PowerShell. True or False?

A

False. TLSA records can be created in PowerShell but not DNS Manager.

26
Q

When a TLSA record has been created, an associated DNSSEC record will also be created. True or False?

A

True.

27
