  • DNS+ protocol and infrastructure for enhanced domain utility
    Patent number: 12756557
    Abstract: A secure, field-based data sharing protocol leveraging the DNS infrastructure with DNSSEC, post-quantum cryptography, and real-time usability flows. The protocol enables domain owners to selectively expose structured confidential data (e.g., IBANs, credit cards, wallets, phone numbers) to authorized entities like banks, PSPs, or telcos using a set of predictable, encrypted DNS TXT records. It introduces a format for revocable, auditable, and verifiable publishing of confidential information, distributed without centralized APIs.
