The Domain Name System (DNS) is the backbone of the internet, translating human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses. At the India Internet Research Foundation (IIRO), we explore the evolving landscape of DNS, focusing on its security, governance, and role in shaping a resilient digital ecosystem in India.
The security of the DNS is critical to maintaining a stable and secure internet. Our research covers DNS abuse mitigation, DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) adoption, and best practices to protect against cyber threats such as phishing and DDoS attacks.
As India is home to diverse languages, enabling domain names and email addresses in multiple scripts is essential for digital inclusion. We study Universal Acceptance (UA) and Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) to promote linguistic diversity and accessibility online.
The governance of DNS involves multiple stakeholders, including ICANN, registries, and regulators. IIRO examines global and national DNS policies, focusing on domain name regulations, WHOIS data privacy, and India’s role in internet governance discussions.
Reliable DNS infrastructure is crucial for the digital economy, government services, and e-commerce platforms. Our research explores how DNS innovations can enhance cybersecurity, business continuity, and online trust.
With the rise of blockchain-based domains, AI-driven security solutions, and edge computing, the DNS landscape is rapidly evolving. IIRO studies the intersection of DNS with emerging technologies to understand their impact on the future of internet infrastructure.
