On the Security of SL-DNSSEC

Aditya Singh Rawat, Ashoka University

Abstract

The proposed $\mathsf{SL\text{-}DNSSEC}$ protocol (AsiaCCS'25) uses a quantum-safe KEM and a MAC to perform signature-less $\mathsf{(SL)}$ DNSSEC validations in a single UDP query / response style. In this paper, we give a formal analysis of $\mathsf{SL\text{-}DNSSEC}$ in the reductionist model.
