Encrypted DNS Standards or protocols are the technologies used to protect the privacy of DNS requests and the integrity of responses. Examples of encrypted DNS standards include; DoT and DoH
- DoT – DNS over TLS (Transport Layer Security)
- DoH – DNS over HTTPS
Encrypted DNS protocols work by encrypting the DNS communication between your operating system’s stub resolver or a local application and your recursive DNS resolver. Both technologies ensure data privacy and authentication by encrypting communications between DNS clients and servers.
