A scalable Byzantine fault tolerant secure domain name system
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 …

A study of caching in the Internet Domain Name System
Thesis (M.Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2000.

A High-Availability Architecture for the Dynamic Domain Name System
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 …

The use of domain name system for dynamic references in an online library
Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 1994.

Measuring and Understanding TTL Violations in DNS Resolvers
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 …

Semantic-free referencing in linked systems
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 …

Protecting DNS from software errors
… with the availability and robustness of the Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure. Unfortunately, the DNS suffers from a wide variety of problems arising from implementation errors, including vulnerabilities, bogus queries, and proneness to failure. In this work, we present a preliminary …

Fast flux botnet detection based on adaptive dynamic evolving spiking neural network
… categorised according to their C&C protocols. A Domain Name System (DNS) method known as Fast-Flux Service Network (FFSN) is a special type of botnet that has been engaged by bot herders to cover malicious botnet activities, and increase the lifetime of malicious servers by quickly changing the …

ASAP: a low-latency transport layer
… in the underlying network protocols, such as Domain Name System (DNS) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). In this work, we introduce ASAP, a new naming and transport protocol that significantly reduces latency by shortcutting DNS requests and eliminating TCP’s three-way handshake (3WH). …

International Commercial Online Dispute Resolution: Just Procedure Through the Internet
… found in the empirical research of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) proceedings. There have been many proposals to regulate ICODR appropriately, which can be classified roughly into three types: the private regulation approach, the public regulation approach, and the …

Survey And Evaluation of Secure-DNS Alternatives Through Passive Measurements
… to improve security and privacy during the name resolution process. One of the schemes is DNS-over-TLS (DoT), which relies on the Internet's PKI for establishing trust in recursive resolvers. DoT's certificates, have not been investigated comprehensively. This thesis analyzes the certificate …

A new Internet Naming System
… on how to proceed with our project, that we named SEDNS - Security-Enhanced Domain Name System. This project’s ambitions are to complement DNS, the Domain Name System, in a way that allows us to keep using it in the future. The main reason for this strategy is, that it has proven to be …

Network-based advanced malware detection using multi-classifier machine learning
… to detect covert C&C channels established using Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA). DGA is one of the main techniques deployed by ransomware and botnet to connect with attackers by generating many pseudorandom domain names. A malicious domain name detection system, called MaldomDetector, is …

Linking Governance and Performance: ICANN as an Internet Hybrid
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a hybrid organization managing the most critical Internet infrastructure - the Domain Name System. ICANN represents a new, emerging Internet self-governance model in which the private sector takes the lead and the government sector …

Monitoring security of enterprise hosts via DNS data analysis
… virtually all connected assets use the Domain Name System (DNS) for address resolution. Thus DNS has become a convenient vehicle for attackers to covertly perform Command and Control (C&C) communication, data theft, and service disruption across a wide range of assets. Enterprise …

Understanding and defending against internet infrastructures supporting cybecrime operations
… two fundamental Internet protocols; the Domain Name System (DNS) and the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). A popular countermeasure against cybercriminal infrastructures are Autonomous Systems (AS) reputation systems. Past research efforts have developed several AS reputation systems that …

Proactive Cyberfraud Detection Through Infrastructure Analysis
… practices. The first three are based on the Domain Name System (DNS), which translates host names to IP addresses. We first examine fast-flux, a practice where the association between name and address changes much more frequently than usual. We then investigate the use of DNS wildcards, which …

Understanding Internet Naming: From the Modern DNS Ecosystem to New Directions in Naming
… goal is to understand the modern client-side Domain Name System (DNS) ecosystem through empirical study of both system components and operational DNS traffic. Next, we discuss two naming scenarios where the DNS is insufficient and propose solutions. One problem we examine---the second …

Network-Based Detection and Prevention System against DNS-Based Attacks
… the malicious servers and the victims. The domain name system (DNS) protocol is one of these approaches that adversaries use to transfer stolen data outside the organization's network using various forms of DNS tunneling attacks. The main reason for targeting the DNS protocol is because DNS …
