Systems and methods for preserving privacy of a registrant in a Domain Name System (“DNS”)
Abstract:
Provided is a method of provisioning a named resource in a domain name system (“DNS”) with a registrar while preserving privacy of a registrant. The method includes obtaining, by a server of the registrar over a network, a request, from the registrant, to provision the named resource; determining, by at least one hardware processor of the server of the registrar, that the request requires additional handling by a privacy provider based on information in the request or information from the registrar; determining, by at least one hardware processor of the server of the registrar, a privacy provider from one or more privacy providers located in different geographic locations to service the request based on a location of the registrant; forwarding the request to the privacy provider; obtaining a cloaked identifier from the privacy provider; and provisioning the named resource in a database of a DNS registry using the cloaked identifier.
