The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system that is built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any other resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It translates the domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with the networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide [1]. The j...

In current DNS environment, each DNS query generated by a user reveals the origin and target of that query. Over time, a user’s browsing behavior and target domain name’s popularity might be exposed to entities with little or no trust. This paper presents the design and evaluation of a PrivacyPreserving Domain Name System (PPDNS), which prevents privacy leaks during domain name resolution with ...

Locating objects with topology-independent identifiers has emerged as a key functionality in recent content networking approaches. Numerous designs have been proposed to address the obvious scalability and efficiency challenges such systems face in Internetscale deployments. These designs have often been based on implicit assumptions of full deployment and a homogeneous autonomous system struct...

IP anycast is a central part of production DNS. While prior work has explored proximity, affinity and load balancing for some anycast services, there has been little attention to third-party discovery and enumeration of components of an anycast service. Enumeration can reveal abnormal service configurations, benign masquerading or hostile hijacking of anycast services, and can help characterize...
