Recent attacks on the DNS, such as those detailed in Cisco Talos' report “Sea Turtle”, expose a critical lack of visibility / audit trail within the DNS hierarchy. This lack of an available audit trail helps sophisticated actors remain difficult to detect in their efforts to undermine entire ccTLDs. Myself, Tim April, Barry Greene, Warren Kumari, and Matt Ploessel are working together with several others within the DNS Operations community. We hope to solve this problem with a system broadly modeled off the Certificate Transparency concept. We are creating a system that will allow domain owners to protect their domain name resources by making record changes available for the domain owners and other interested parties to verify. We are calling this service “DNS Transparency” and we want to work with all companies and stakeholders to enable a more transparent naming infrastructure for the future! https://dnstransparency.org
