Description

New DNS technique separates address lookups from the people making them.

Summary

  • New DNS technique separates address lookups from the people making them.
  • Now, Cloudflare, Apple, and content-delivery network Fastly have introduced a novel way to fix that using a technique that prevents service providers and network snoops from seeing the addresses end users visit or send email to.
  • Since the beginning, however, DNS has suffered from two key weaknesses.
  • I mean, at some point, a computer has to match up your request with the response, and its just a matter of trust that that computer isn't ran by a bad actor... No, because the request is encrypted so that only the DNS provider (target) can decrypt it.
