  9. P2P DNS System
  10. Features What should feature a distributed DNS system ?
  11. It must not have any single entity that controls the others Conclusion: it must be P2P with not central node It must be open source

  13. P2P-DNS Records authenticated by a public/private key system All nodes know all othe nodes and the cache all know domains
  14. Attacks Atack 1: An attacker can only poison the cache of a single node Atack 2: An attacker can flood the network with fake domains
  15. Defense methods For attack 1: opinion of the majority is correct and a web trust (opinions of nodes are weighted by your trust to them. For attack 2: similar tools used for email spam prevention systems
  16. Disadvantages Storing all key pairs Everyone can register any domain now even those which already exist in the real dns system
  17. Namecoin Based on bitcoin system .bit TLD Similar private/public keys encryption Buy domains with namecoins which can be converted from bitcoins
