IPSECKEY records are DNS records that store public keys and gateway information for IPsec connections. They enable automatic discovery of IPsec gateways and their associated public keys, facilitating secure communication between networks without manual configuration.
Key Components:
- Precedence: Priority value (0-255) where lower numbers indicate higher priority
- Gateway Type: Specifies the format of the gateway field (0=None, 1=IPv4, 2=IPv6, 3=Domain)
- Algorithm: Public key algorithm type (1=DSA, 2=RSA)
- Gateway: The IPsec gateway address or domain name
- Public Key: Base64-encoded public key for the gateway
How IPSECKEY Records Work:
- A client queries DNS for IPSECKEY records of the target domain
- The DNS server returns available IPSECKEY records with gateway and key information
- The client selects the highest priority (lowest precedence) available gateway
- IPsec connection is established using the provided public key for authentication
