Source Identity Token Source Identity Token (SIT) is based in Donald Eastlake 3rd's DNS Cookies[1]. The main differences are that the error code has been dropped and that the server cookie doesn't have a fixed length and may be missing. The error code has been dropped because it served no useful purpose for us. If it was to be restored it should be the first element of the option. We extended the server cookie to transmit server time and to include a server generated nonce. The purpose of these is to provide a short window of time (1 hour with a 5 minutes of clock skew for cluster time) where a previous cookie can be used for and to not require the server secret to be updated when it is shared by a cluster of servers. In particular the time of generation needed to be passed between servers via the client so that old cookie can be rejected. The option structure is: client cookie (64 bits) server cookie (128 bits) broken up into: - nonce (32 bits) - time (32 bits) - hash (64 bits) The initial requests just sends the client cookie. If the response contains a matching client cookie the entire response is saved and sent on the next transaction. A new server cookie is generated for every response. We are currently using EDNS Experimental code point 65001. This is subject to change. We have three supported hash method. AES, HMAC SHA 1 and HMAC SHA 256. A cluster of servers needs to choose one of them.
