• [$] System-wide encrypted DNS

    The increasing sophistication of attackers has organizations
    realizing that perimeter-based security models are inadequate. Many
    are planning to transition their internal networks to a zero-trust architecture. This requires every communication on the network to
    be encrypted, authenticated, and authorized. This can be achieved in applications and services by using modern communication
    protocols. However, the world still depends on Domain Name System
    (DNS) services where encryption, while possible, is far from being the
    industry standard. To address this we, as part of a working group at
    Red Hat, worked on fully integrating encrypted DNS for Linux
    systems-not only while the system is running but also during the
    installation and boot process, including support for a custom
    certificate chain in the initial ramdisk. This integration is now
    available in CentOS Stream 9, 10, and the upcoming
    Fedora 43 release.
