Abstract

Traditional centralized domain name systems (DNS) are vulnerable to security attacks such as DNS spoofing and DNS cache poisoning. Additionally, centralized DNS authorities may impose access restrictions that limit authentication mechanisms; therefore, the centralized nature of the system can significantly impact society. In this research, the limitations of centralized DNS systems are addressed by proposing a new decentralized DNS approach using blockchain rollups. The approach is implemented on an Ethereum rollup using ZKsync. This approach leverages smart contracts to enable secure and cost-effective domain management. Analysis results show that the proposed solution enhances Internet security across all phases of DNS execution that demonstrates the benefits of an immutable and decentralized approach to domain management.
