Publication number: 20240169089Abstract: Techniques for leveraging a distributed Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure for preserving Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data for distributed resolvers using a hash to policy pair (HPP) database are described. A DNS security service receives metadata including PII associated with a client. A cryptographic hash function is applied to the metadata including PII associated with the client to generate a client hash value. A client HPP is created by mapping the client hash value to a set of DNS policy instructions associated with the client. The client HPP is stored in a HPP database. A distributed resolver is authorized to provide DNS services to the client. Finally, the HPP database is published to the distributed resolver.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Barry Qi Yuan, Robert Edgar Barton
