While the Domain Name System (DNS) is an infrastructure of the current network, it still faces the problem of centralization and data authentication according to its concept and practice. Decentralized storage of domain names and user local verification using blockchain may be effective solutions. However, since the blockchain is an add-only type database, domain name changes will cause out of date records to still be correct when using the Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) mechanism locally. This paper mainly introduces Local Enhanced Authentication DNS (LEA-DNS), which allows domain names to be stored in public blockchain database to provide decentralization feature and is compatible with the existing DNS. It achieves the validity and timeliness of local domain name resolution results to ensure correct and up to date with the Merkle Mountain Range and RSA accumulator technologies. Experiments show that less than 3.052Kb is needed for each DNS request to be validated, while the validation time is negligible, and only 9.44Kb of data need to be stored locally by the web client. Its compatibility with the existing DNS system and the lightness of the validation protocols indicate that this is a system suitable for deployment widely.

Administrative Tasks

Although the Internet has no cross-organizational, financial, or operational management responsible for the entire Internet, certain administrative tasks are coordinated centrally. Among the most important organizational tasks that require global regulation is the management of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and their corresponding domain names. The IP address consists of an existing 32 bit (IP4) or 128 bit (IP6) sequence of digits and is the actual physical network address by which routing on the Internet takes place and which will ensure that the data packets reach the correct host computer.

La Red

El desarrollo de la llamada red de redes o internet ha supuesto un cambio sustancial en la forma de entender las relaciones comerciales. La extensión del acceso a aquella a un número cada vez mayor de agentes económicos, unido a un crecimiento continuo de los contenidos de toda índole disponibles en la red, implica que la facilidad con que se acceda a la información de una determinada compañía tenga un elevado valor. El objetivo de este documento de reflexión es ofrecer en primer lugar, un panorama general del marco teórico en el que se desarrolla la actividad de registro de nombres de dominio, tanto en el ámbito internacional como en el local (España) y su relación con el derecho de marcas, para a partir de ello exponer una serie de casos, que tienen una relación directa con España, bien por tratarse de resoluciones de nuestros tribunales, bien por ser asuntos en los que se discutía la titularidad de nombres de dominio en los que aparecía como perjudicado (real o pretendido) una marca o nombre comercial española o al menos con presencia en este país. Abstract Domain names are the familiar and easy-to-remember names for internet computers. They map to unique Internet Protocol (IP) numbers that serve as routing addresses on the Internet. The domain name system (DNS) translates internet names into the IP numbers needed for transmission of information across the network. The challenge pursued by the following research is to provide a general outlook of the theoretical frame for the technical activity of domain name registration procedure, as well as the implication of complementary sources of rules. The territorial context of the analysis is only apparent, since the empirical application of concepts can also be applied by other jurisdictions.

Internet access is dependent on two major factors: Internet (generally referred to as IP) addresses, which are a functional equivalent to telephone numbers, and domain names. The former element raises a number of technical issues but is generally non-contentious. Systems of domain names—which effectively serve as an alias for IP numbers—are much more controversial and raise major issues how the Internet should be regulated. This chapter begins with a discussion of the emergence of Internet regulation. It then turns to domain names and the regulation of the domain-name system.

Since its creation in 1998, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has been responsible for ensuring free trade and marketplace competition in the sale and regulation of domain names, as well as overseeing the stability of the Domain Name System (DNS) and the creation of consistent, functional policies. Therefore, its responsibilities include assessing when, and to what degree, additional generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are needed in order to ensure the proper functioning of the DNS. In order to make such a determination, ICANN relied on the input of interested Internet stakeholders as mandated through its multi-stakeholder model, which involves interested business entities, individuals, and governments from around the world.

University of Bina Darma Palembang has its own DNS server and in this study using log data from the Bina Darma University DNS server as data in the study, DNS log server data is analyzed by network traffic, using Network Analyzer tools to see the activity of a normal traffic or anomaly traffic, or even contains DGA Malware (Generating Algorthm Domain).DGA malware produces a number of random domain names that are used to infiltrate DNS servers. To detect DGA using DNS traffic, NXDomain. The result is that each domain name in a group domain is generated by one domain that is often used at short times and simultaneously has a similar life time and query style. Next look for this pattern in NXDomain DNS traffic to filter domains generated algorithmically that the domain contains DGA. In analyzing DNS traffic whether it contains Malware and whether network traffic is normal or anomaly, in this study it detects Malwere DNS From the results of the stages of the suspected domain indicated by malware, a suspected domain list table is also created and also a suspected list of IP addresses. To support the suspected domain analysis results, info graphic is displayed using rappidminer tools to test decisions that have been made using the previous tools using the Decision Tree method.

The global naming systems are used to resolve the DNS (domain name system) queries by providing the IP address of a particular domain. Humans are familiar in remembering the text rather than numbers. So the DNS servers help in resolving the human-readable domain names into system understandable IP address. In the current DNS architecture, there are several threats that cost a lot of damage to the organizations. At the earlier stage, DNS protocol lacks security assurance in place. To solve this issue, they introduced DNSSEC (subsequent DNS) as an additional layer of trust on top of DNS by providing authentication. Still, the current DNS servers couldn't address issues such as DoS/DDoS attacks. To address all these issues, blockchain technology offers an innovative method to handle those challenges. The existing naming systems are centralized, which is a major problem in achieving security.. The main aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of blockchain technology and a brief introduction to blockchain-based naming and storage systems.

The paper proposes effective method of computer network protection from data exfiltration by the system of domain names. Data exfiltration by Domain Name System (DNS) is an approach to conceal the transfer of confidential data to remote adversary using data encapsulation into the requesting domain name. The DNS requests that transfer stolen information from a host infected by malicious software to an external host controlled by a malefactor are considered. The paper proposes a method of detecting such DNS requests based on text classification of domain names by convolutional neural network. The efficiency of the method is based on assumption that domain names exploited for data exfiltration differ from domain names formed from words of natural language. To classify the requests in convolutional neural network the use of character embedding for representing the string of a domain name is proposed. Quality evaluation of the trained neural network used for recognition of data exfiltration through domain name system using ROC-analysis is performed.The paper presents the software architecture used for deployment of trained neural network into existing infrastructure of the domain name system targeting practical computer networks protection from data exfiltration. The architecture implies creation of response policy zones for blocking of individual requests, classified as malicious.

Since the late 1990s, when domain names emerged on the consumer market with the introduction of numerous domain registrars for the ‘.com’, ‘.net’, and ‘.org’ spaces, a dynamic and fast-growing industry has emerged. During the past 20 years, this industry has grown and matured, and is now in the midst of a dramatic and unprecedented expansion. With the launch of more than 1,000 new gTLDs, of which approximately 100 are written in non-Latin scripts (so-called IDNs—Internationalized Domain Names), the Domain Name System (DNS) is on the horizon of a new era. New providers in both the primary and secondary markets have entered the marketplace, and large players are looking to secure even greater market shares.
