The Internet has a number of different namespaces used by its myriad protocols and applications. Unfortunately overloaded naming semantics are creating widespread issues. This position paper reviews the existing namespaces, current naming issues, and then proposes a strawman approach to resolving the current naming issues. 1 Existing Namespaces In the original ARPAnet, the first namespace was t...

We are jointly proposing a new name for a protein domain of approximately 65 amino acids that has been previously termed NBPF or DUF1220. Our two labs independently reported the initial studies of this domain, which is encoded almost entirely within a single gene family. The name Neuroblastoma Breakpoint Family ( NBPF) was applied to this gene family when the first identified member of the fami...

Many botnets employ a method called domain fluxing for resilience. This technique strengthens the addressing layer of a botnet and allows a bot herder to dynamically provide command and control servers. For the calculation of new domains, a domain name generation algorithm (DGA) is used. In order to take actions against a domain fluxing botnet, the domain name generation algorithm has to be known.

DNS cache plays a critical role in domain name resolution, providing (1) high scalability at Root and Top-level-domain (TLD) name servers with reduced workloads and (2) low response latency to clients when the resource records of the queried domains are cached. However, the pervasive misuses of domain names, e.g., the domains of “one-time-use” pattern, have a negative impact on the effectivenes...

The Botnet threats, such as server attacks or sending of spam email, have been increasing. A method of using a blacklist of domain names has been proposed to find infected hosts. However, not all infected hosts may be found by this method because a blacklist does not cover all black domain names. In this paper, we present a method for finding unknown black domain names and extend the blacklist ...

Domain Name Systems (DNS) provide the mapping between easily remembered host names and their IP addresses. While domain name information is typically created and updated off-line, dynamic DNS updates allow clients to manage domain names online, in real time. The current secure DNS standards (DNSSEC) require private keys to be kept online to sign dynamic updates, leaving private keys subject to ...

This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) extension mapping for the provisioning and management of Domain Name System security extensions (DNSSEC) for domain names stored in a shared central repository. Specified in XML, this mapping extends the EPP domain name mapping to provide additional features required for the provisioning of DNS security extensions.
