Patent number: 9794221Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium, is described that enables a registry recovery service to retrieve zone files from a target registry, archive the zone files, publish the zone files to a managed DNS server, reconcile ownership of the zone files, and publish the zone files to a provisioning DNS server. The registry recovery service may also implement a WHOIS server for the zone and ownership information and may also implement zone specific features particular to the target registry's TLD. The registry recovery service may also enable DNSSEC extensions on the recovered registry DNS services.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: VERISIGN, INC.Inventors: James Gould, Tarik Essawi, Kenneth R. Craddock, Jr., Velmurugan Periasamy, Ramesh Balasubramanian

Patent number: 8904519Abstract: A system and method for establishing a chain of trust from a registrant to a registry. A registrant request to a registrar to change a domain name record includes at least one registrant factor, such as a one time password. The registrar can formulate an extended EPP command that includes the factor to effectuate the change and send it to a registry. The registry can verify the at least one factor using at least one validation server. If the factor is successfully verified, the EPP can be processed by the registry. If the factor is not verified, the EPP command may not be processed and an error message may be generated and sent to the registrar.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2009Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Verisign, Inc.Inventors: Tarik Essawi, James Gould, Pat Kane, Dan Schonfeld, Joe Waldron, Scott Hollenbeck

Patent number: 8719232Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for data integrity checking in a computing system. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes receiving, from each of a plurality of computing devices of the computing system, application transaction logs, wherein the application transaction logs are related to a plurality of applications. The method also includes comparing, by the central computing device, the received application transaction logs to a transactions recorded in a database to identify missing transactions. In addition, the method includes performing one or more actions in response to the identified missing transactions.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Verisign, Inc.Inventors: Tarik Essawi, Deepak Deshpande, Niraj Tank

Patent number: 8645700Abstract: Systems and methods of performing incremental DNSSEC signing at a registry are described in which digital signature operations may be performed as part of a single transaction including DNS add, update, and/or delete operations and the like. Exemplary methods may include receiving a domain command from a requester, the domain command including an identifier of a domain. The received domain command may be executed with respect to data stored by the registry for the domain. As part of an individual transaction including the execution of the domain command, the registry may also sign DNSSEC records for the domain using a private key of an authoritative server. After the DNSSEC records have been signed, the registry may incrementally publish the signed DNSSEC records to a separate server.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Verisign, Inc.Inventors: David Smith, James Gould, Tarik Essawi, David Blacka, Srikanth Veeramachaneni
