Crypt DNS uses Triple-DES encryption to ensure protection against DNS spoofing attacks, and keep your name lookups private.
Crypt DNS provides security and privacy for your DNS requests. The Crypt DNS software runs on your computer, receiving every DNS request before it goes out onto the Internet. It uses a private key to encrypt the data, and forwards your request to our specially configured DNS servers. Our DNS servers determine the appropriate response, (ie figures out the IP address of the web site you are requesting), and encrypts the data so that only your private key can be used to understand it. If the data is intercepted by a third party, it is meaningless without your private key. The encrypted data cannot be modified in transit, in such a way that would lead you to an attacker's web site.
DNS provides resolution for Domain Names, over the Internet. When you type in an address in the address bar of your web browser, or click on a link, your computer automatically queries a DNS server to determine the destination IP address.
Every web site you visit is hosted on a computer. Each computer that is on the Internet has a unique IP address. An IP address is similar to a telephone number. For your convenience, DNS allows you to type in a name, such as www.example.com, into your address bar. DNS automatically looks up the IP address for the name, kind of like a telephone book.
Normally DNS service is provided by your ISP. Whenever you pull up a web site, your ISP receives a request for the domain name. They are able to record and analyze every DNS request made to their servers. What's more, DNS traffic over the Internet is not normally encrypted, so that anyone able to "listen" to your requests can intercept it, kind of like they were eavesdropping. Without Encryption, A criminal could intercept your request and modify it, so that you receive different information than you were expecting. An attacker could re-route your browser to their server, and you may not even realize it.
¤ This software is currently in Beta Testing and will be available soon.
