Mitigation of DNS Attacks using SSL Protocol

Abstract

Domain Name System continues to be a nice target for hacker. The Domain Name Server (DNS) is widely
implemented database system use through the Internet, providing Name Resolution between host name and
internal protocol address. This thesis describes problems with the Domain Name System and one of its
implementations that allow the abuse of name based authentication.We examine the weaknesses in the DNS and
exploit a method to abuse the Domain Name System for system break. With the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
Protocol, we are trying to decrease the severeness of DNS attacks.We can use Enhanced RSA (ERSA)and ElGamal algorithm together for provide high level data security.
