  1. A scalable Byzantine fault tolerant secure domain name system

    Ahmed, Sarah, 1975-Massachusetts Institute of Technology2001

    The domain name system is the standard mechanism on the Internet to advertise and access important information about hosts. At its inception, DNS was not designed to be a secure protocol. The biggest security hole in DNS is the lack of support for data integrity authentication, source …

  3. A High-Availability Architecture for the Dynamic Domain Name System

    Filippi, Geoffrey GeorgeVirginia Tech2008

    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 …

  5. Measuring and Understanding TTL Violations in DNS Resolvers

    Bhowmick, ProtickVirginia Tech2024

    The Domain Name System (DNS) is a scalable-distributed caching architecture where each DNS records are cached around several DNS servers distributed globally. DNS records include a time-to-live (TTL) value that dictates how long the record can be stored before it's evicted from the cache. TTL holds …

  6. Semantic-free referencing in linked systems

    Walfish, Michael HowardMassachusetts Institute of Technology2004

    The Web relies on the Domain Name System (DNS) to resolve the hostname portion of URLs into IP addresses. This marriage-of-convenience enabled the Web's meteoric rise, but the resulting entanglement is now hindering both infrastructures--the Web is overly constrained by the limitations of DNS, and …
