KURZFASSUNG Im Domain Name System (DNS) existieren sowohl auf Seiten der Clients als auch auf Seiten der Betreiber erhebliche Sicherheitslücken im Bezug auf die Vertraulichkeit und Privatheit der jeweils eigenen Daten. Der Informationsfluss von Clients, die einen Domain Name auflösen wollen, findet unverschlüsselt statt und wird meist durch mehrere Server geleitet. Serverbetreiber und Angreifer...

The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most important components of the Internet infrastructure. DNS relies on a delegation-based architecture, where resolution of names to their IP addresses requires resolving the names of the servers responsible for those names. The recursive structures of the inter-dependencies that exist between name servers associated with each zone are called dependen...

The Domain Name System (DNS) provides a mapping between host names and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Hosts that are configured using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can have their assigned IP addresses updated in a Dynamic DNS (DDNS). DNS and DDNS are critical components of the Internet. Most applications use host names rather than IP addresses, allowing the underlying operat...

The Domain Name System (DNS) is undergoing fundamental changes in both design and operations, but these changes are mostly taking place in piecemeal extensions. In this paper we consider how to maintain a simple and robust DNS in the face of these inevitable and essential changes. We consider some of the features that the modern DNS is trying to incorporate and we look at the ensuing problems f...

The DARPA Internet uses the Domain Name Sys tem DNS a distributed database to map host names to network addresses and vice versa Using a vulnerability rst noticed by P V Mockapetris we demonstrate how the DNS can be abused to sub vert system security We also show what tools are useful to the attacker Possible defenses against this attack including one implemented by Berkeley in re sponse to our...
