Abstract With the widespread adoption of encrypted Domain Name System (DNS) technologies such as DNS over Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS), traditional port and protocol-based traffic analysis methods have become ineffective. Although encrypted DNS enhances user privacy protection, it also provides concealed communication channels for malicious software, compelling detection technologies to shift towards statistical feature-based and machine learning approaches. However, these methods still face challenges in real-time performance and privacy protection. This paper proposes a real-time identification technology for encrypted DNS traffic with privacy protection. Firstly, a hierarchical architecture of cloud-edge-end collaboration is designed, incorporating More >

Abstract DNS simulations on incompressible flows with high Reynolds number using meshfree methods remain an enduring challenge to be addressed. In the present work, we attempt to use a high-order SPH scheme (TENO-SPH) to make DNS simulations on high Reynolds number flows. To investigate this, several spatial reconstructions are applied under the Riemann-ALE-SPH framework, and their performances are compared. Particularly, the accuracy of SPH is significantly enhanced by WENO and TENO reconstructions. For free surface flows, we implement a Lagrangian TENO-SPH to reproduce these flows at different Reynolds numbers. More importantly, to make DNS simulations, the More >

Abstract The DNS over HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) (DoH) is a new technology that encrypts DNS traffic, enhancing the privacy and security of end-users. However, the adoption of DoH is still facing several research challenges, such as ensuring security, compatibility, standardization, performance, privacy, and increasing user awareness. DoH significantly impacts network security, including better end-user privacy and security, challenges for network security professionals, increasing usage of encrypted malware communication, and difficulty adapting DNS-based security measures. Therefore, it is important to understand the impact of DoH on network security and develop new privacy-preserving techniques to allow More >

Abstract In recent times, the impact of typhoon disasters on integrated energy active distribution networks (IEADNs) has received increasing attention, particularly, in terms of effective cascading fault path prediction and enhanced fault recovery performance. In this study, we propose a modified ORNL-PSerc-Alaska (OPA) model based on optimal power flow (OPF) calculation to forecast IEADN cascading fault paths. We first established the topology and operational model of the IEADNs, and the typical fault scenario was chosen according to the component fault probability and information entropy. The modified OPA model consisted of two layers: An upper-layer model to More >

Abstract Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is the most common attack that obstructs a network and makes it unavailable for a legitimate user. We proposed a deep neural network (DNN) model for the detection of DDoS attacks in the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm. SDN centralizes the control plane and separates it from the data plane. It simplifies a network and eliminates vendor specification of a device. Because of this open nature and centralized control, SDN can easily become a victim of DDoS attacks. We proposed a supervised Developed Deep Neural Network (DDNN) model that can… More >

Abstract Although the current Domain Name System (DNS) has been able to satisfy the use of network services, there are still many challenges in the future development of the Internet. The centralized management of traditional domain name management systems has many risks, and cannot defend against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and single points of failure. As a decentralized tool, blockchain provides innovative ideas for the improvement of domain name management systems. Starting from the existing network resolution system and combining the application of cross-chain communication in DNS, this paper proposes a domain name resolution More >

Abstract The rapid development of blockchain technology has provided new ideas for network security research. Blockchain-based network security enhancement solutions are attracting widespread attention. This paper proposes an Internet domain name verification method based on blockchain. The authenticity of DNS (Domain Name System) resolution results is crucial for ensuring the accessibility of Internet services. Due to the lack of adequate security mechanisms, it has always been a challenge to verify the authenticity of Internet domain name resolution results. Although the solution represented by DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) can theoretically solve the domain name verification… More >

Abstract With the continuous development of the Internet, the domain name system (DNS) as infrastructure is playing an increasingly important role. However, traditional DNS architecture is centralized, and there are some security problems such as the right concentration and power abuse. This paper combines blockchain technology with DNS technology and proposes a domain name service model based on the permissioned blockchain. At first, this paper designs a top-level domain chain (TLDChain) model to conduct consensus on block transactions and achieve decentralization of domain name service. Then, this paper introduces a data model to upload data. At More >

Abstract The domain name system (DNS) provides a mapping service between memorable names and numerical internet protocol addresses, and it is a critical infrastructure of the Internet. The authenticity of DNS resolution results is crucial for ensuring the accessibility of Internet services. Hundreds of supplementary specifications of protocols have been proposed to compensate for the security flaws of DNS. However, DNS security incidents still occur frequently. Although DNS is a distributed system, for a specified domain name, only authorized authoritative servers can resolve it. Other servers must obtain the resolution result through a recursive or iterative… More >

Abstract As a critical Internet infrastructure, domain name system (DNS) protects the authenticity and integrity of domain resource records with the introduction of security extensions (DNSSEC). DNSSEC builds a single-center and hierarchical resource authentication architecture, which brings management convenience but places the DNS at risk from a single point of failure. When the root key suffers a leak or misconfiguration, top level domain (TLD) authority cannot independently protect the authenticity of TLD data in the root zone. In this paper, we propose self-certificating root, a lightweight security enhancement mechanism of root zone compatible with DNS/DNSSEC protocol. More >
