Protective DNS: Why Telcos Are Turning to DNS as the Platform for Consumer Security
For years, internet service providers have offered a range of consumer security services.

Hiding in Plain Sight: Abusing Composite Domain Names
Abstract Many DNS-based services utilize composite queries, which are queries formed by embedding a referenced domain as a subdomain. For example, example-com.translate.goog refers to example.com as the source domain. The use of composite queries allows services to route users effectively on the Internet; however, these services can also present a security challenge by enabling actors […]
