Description
Handshake is a pioneering peer-to-peer naming protocol that operates in a decentralized and permissionless manner, empowering each participant to validate and oversee the root DNS naming zone, thereby presenting an alternative to traditional certificate authorities and naming frameworks. In the current landscape, internet names such as top-level domains and social media handles depend heavily on centralized entities that exercise complete control over a system trusted to be reliable, which inherently poses risks of hacking, censorship, and corruption. By introducing innovative methods, Handshake strives to enhance the internet's security, resilience, and societal value through a network validated by its users, representing a significant shift from centralization to a more distributed structure. This initiative not only addresses the shortcomings of the centralized internet services that have dominated since the 1990s but also seeks to revive the original vision of a decentralized internet, where control is distributed among its users rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. Ultimately, Handshake serves as a vital experiment in shaping the future of internet governance and user autonomy.
Description
IBM Cloud provides robust domain name system services for both public and private use, ensuring rapid response times, exceptional redundancy, and top-notch security. These services effectively convert domain name requests into corresponding IP addresses, allowing for easy management of all domains through either a user-friendly interface or an API. IBM Cloud's DNS Services facilitate name resolution for virtual machines (VMs) operating within a VPC network as well as across multiple VPC networks. Users can customize their DNS zones and specify individual host IPs, enabling control over which VPC networks can access specific DNS zone information. With availability in all IBM Cloud Multizone Regions, these DNS services are designed for high availability and quick access. Access to your DNS records can be restricted to selected VPC networks, which is crucial for protecting GDPR-sensitive IP and hostname data. Furthermore, users can configure their zones so that queries from private VPCs and public networks result in different resolved addresses, enhancing security and flexibility. This capability ensures that businesses can maintain a tailored and secure DNS environment that meets their specific needs.
