| Abstract: | In current days, with the accelerated development of blockchain technology, more and more engineers in enterprises and researchers in schools have become interested in it. They have invested in research on blockchain technology. Blockchain technology has been proposed with the birth of Bitcoin, but it is not limited to cryptocurrency. More and more enterprises use blockchain technology for distributed data recording and some security calculations. DNS is both a network protocol and a distributed storage system. It is used to store resource records and match host domain names and IP addresses. In the network world of TCP / IP, the importance of the DNS protocol is self-evident, but there are still some security issues to be resolved in traditional DNS today. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a DNS system based on Hyperledger Fabric (Consortium Blockchain Platform). This system simulates the typical functions of traditional DNS, such as registering domain names, modifying domain names, and so on. It also provides some DNS systems new services with blockchain characteristics. The experimental part of this article will also implement and test the system to discuss some performance issues and finally compare it with some current solutions. After comparison, it is found that this system has certain advantages over many traditional solutions. |
