As connected devices multiply and the internet matures into a ubiquitous platform for exchange and communication, the question of what makes a domain name valuable is ever more significant. Due to the scarcity of meaningful vocabulary and the persistence of domain-related data, the buying and selling of previously owned domain names, also known as the domain aftermarket, has evolved into a bill...

This paper presents TrickleDNS, a practical and decentralized system for disseminating DNS data securely. Unlike prior solutions, which depend on the as-yetundeployed DNSSEC standard to preserve data integrity, TrickleDNS uses a novel security framework that provides resilience from data corruption by compromised servers and denial of service attacks. It is based on the key design principle of ...

We have investigated the problem of detecting DoS-like DNS anomalies in DNS system. In this paper, we propose a distributed Two-phase DNS anomaly detection model for solving the problem. Three sets of algorithms corresponding to different configurations are proposed, including one sequential algorithm and two distributed algorithms, each with an increasing level of parallelism. The complexity o...

Common user applications cannot run in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) before a method for name resolution is in place. While the Domain Name System (DNS) works well on the fixed Internet, it represents a centralized approach to name resolution, which is not suitable for MANETs. This article refines the framework developed for name resolution in MANETs and shows how a mechanism for local name r...

This study aims to present the points of contact between traditional legal regime trademarks established in Brazilian Law nº 9.279, 1996, and implications that involve domain names on Internet. The main conflicts name holders will also be analysed, always seeking connection with brands. After showing relations Internet violations against system, it made an analysis Federal Court jurisprudence, ...

Privacy leaks are an unfortunate and an integral part of the current Internet domain name resolution. Each DNS query generated by a user reveals – to one or more DNS servers – the origin and target of that query. Over time, a user’s browsing behavior might be exposed to entities with little or no trust. Current DNS privacy leaks stem from fundamental features of DNS and are not easily fixable b...

Information-centric networking (ICN) is a paradigm that aims to better reflect current Internet usage patterns by focusing on information, rather than on hosts. One of the most critical ICN functionalities is the efficient resolution/location of information objects i.e., name resolution. The vast size of the information object namespace calls for a highly scalable and efficient name resolution ...

This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) mapping for the provisioning and management of Internet domain names stored in a shared central repository. Specified in XML, the mapping defines EPP command syntax and semantics as applied to domain names. This document obsoletes RFC 4931.

The lack of privacy in DNS and DNSSEC is a problem that has only recently begun to see widespread attention by the Internet and research communities, and the solutions proposed so far only look at a narrow slice of the design space. In this paper we investigate a new approach for a privacy-preserving DNS mechanism that hides query information from root name servers and TLD registries. Our archi...
