Recent Developments in the Domain Name System

Computer Engineering

In the context of the internet, the Domain Name System can be referred to as its backbone that draws users in. By using DNS, it is easy to access the web simply by typing in the domain names instead of the specific IP addresses. A review of several literature provides experimental evidence concerning the various aspects of DNS | domains, services, and applications that have enhanced during these years. Such advancements include DoH, DoT, and DNSSEC which are noteworthy technologies as they tackle the issue of privacy and security among others. Furthermore, there is also a discussion on new parallelized solutions of DNS, their security concerns, quantum internet, and its efficiency in working with advantages of device computing. Furthermore, the paper presents current limitations on the use of DNS, such as those associated with scalability and attacks, as well as how these vary in relevance to the growing use of AI and the shift to IPv6.
