The Impact of Internet of Things on the Domain Name System

The rise of connected objects known as the Internet of Things (IoT) has conquered the world. It is a platform for the functioning of various smart devices on a large scale. IoT devices can communicate with each other without interaction between the user and devices. Security stakeholders across the planet have confirmed that the growth of IoT has created the right set of circumstances for malicious users to attack the Domain Name System (DNS). Illicit users may threaten the frameworks with large-scale botnets and can also compromise the services provided by organizations. This paper has highlighted the impact of IoT systems on the domain name system. Also, this research work provides a cutting-edge overview of current solutions that can help to tackle the security and policy challenges in the domain name system.
