Blockchain based DNS and PKI solutions
Özet
Domain name systems and certificate authority systems may have security and trust problems in their implementation. This article summarizes how these systems work and what the implementation problems may be. There are blockchain-based decentralized solutions that claim to overcome those problems. We provide a brief explanation on how blockchain systems work, and their strengths are explained. DNS security challenges are given. Blockchain-based DNS solutions are classified and described in detail according to their services. The advantages and feasibility of these implementations are discussed. Last but not least, the possibility of the decentralized Internet is questioned. © 2017 IEEE.
