Publication number: 20210288948Abstract: A method and system for authenticating answers to Domain Name System (DNS) queries originating from recursive DNS servers are provided. A verification component provides a verification that a DNS query originated from the recursive DNS server. An authoritative DNS server receives the query via a network, such as the Internet, and provides an answer to the query to an authentication component. The authentication component then provides an authentication, such as a digital signature, which confirms that the received answer was provided by the authoritative DNS server, and then communicates the answer and the authentication to the verification component via the network. The verification component then verifies that the authentication corresponds to the received answer and sends the answer to the recursive DNS server. When the verification component receives an answer in the absence of a corresponding authentication, the verification component drops the answer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2020Publication date: September 16, 2021Applicant: Neustar, Inc.Inventors: Rodney Lance JOFFE, Victor Joseph OPPLEMAN, David Link KING, Brett Dean WATSON, Andrew JACKSON, Sean LEACH

Distributed computing system and method for distributing user requests to replicated network servers
Patent number: 8683075Abstract: Routing requests for data objects from clients includes receiving a request for a data object from a client, providing content servers capable of serving data objects, determining a server from the content servers, and informing the client of an address associated with the determined server accessible by the selected route. Determining a server includes, for each content server, identifying routes between the content server and the client, determining traversal times for the routes, and selecting a route from among the routes based on the traversal times.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2000Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignees: Verizon Corporate Services Group Inc., Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp.Inventors: Rodney Lance Joffe, Barry A.
