DPRIVE defines the transactions between a recursive resolver and authoritative servers. Its current focus is on preventing pervasive monitoring during exchanges between DNS servers, in an attempt to limit the amount of data leakage that happens during multi-hop DNS resolution. A large amount of information, including the domain name, request type and response, is shared between servers when making a DNS request to a server. Data leakage can lead to monitoring of users or blocking of information being requested. Encrypting DNS exchanges can prevent possible monitoring, blocking, and filtering of websites.
