Description

This talk will explore the most recent evolutions in how end-device DNS resolution is being done including new encrypted transports and DNS resolution directly from applications. The talk will provide an overview of the recent work on the both the DNS-over-TLS and DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) protocols at the IETF. It will then summarise the recent implementations in OS's, applications and on mobile platforms and review existing large scale deployments. The talk will attempt to present considerations for network operators as the deployment of encrypted transports for DNS increases. Alongside this, the talk will also explore the potential implications of applications starting to perform DNS lookups directly, in some cases to 'preferred resolvers' (e.g. Firefox are experimenting with DoH in the browser sending queries to Cloudflare).
