3 | <h1>NGI Zero Entrust: "GNS to DNS Migration and Zone Management"</h1> | ||
4 | <p> | ||
5 | We are happy to announce that we have successfully aquired funding for further | ||
6 | GNS development and polishing! | ||
7 | </p> | ||
8 | <p> | ||
9 | The GNU Name System specification is in its <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-schanzen-gns/">final stages</a>. | ||
10 | Migration paths and large-scale testing as well as generating interest in running GNS zones and registrars is the next logical step. | ||
11 | Hence, this project aims to | ||
12 | <ol> | ||
13 | <li>Facilitate the management of GNS zones by administrators.</li> | ||
14 | <li>Provide users with means to resolve real-world names by (partially) mirroring the DNS root zone.</li> | ||
15 | </ol> | ||
16 | </p> | ||
17 | <p> | ||
18 | <b>Ad 1.:</b> To ease adoption, a framework for GNS registrars will be developed for zone management. | ||
19 | The registrar framework will allow GNS zone administrators to provide | ||
20 | a web-interface for subdomain registration by other users. | ||
21 | The services may also be provided for a fee similar to how DNS domain registrars | ||
22 | operate to cover running costs. | ||
23 | The framework is envisioned to support integration of privacy-friendly payments with <a href="https://www.taler.net">GNU Taler</a>. | ||
24 | </p> | ||
25 | <p> | ||
26 | <b>Ad 2.:</b>We are already hosting and shipping a zone for <tt>gnunet.org</tt> as part of our GNS implementation. | ||
27 | To demonstrate how existing DNS registrars could migrate zones from DNS to GNS | ||
28 | we plan to run multiple GNS zones ourselves which contain the zone information from real-world DNS top-level domains. | ||
29 | This will also show how GNS can be used to secure the existing DNS namespace from | ||
30 | censorship and outages when used in parallel. | ||
31 | A selection of existing top-level domains for which <a href="https://jpmens.net/2021/05/18/dns-open-zone-data/">open data exists</a> will be hosted and served through GNS in order to facilitate the daily use of the name system. | ||
32 | We are are planning to integrate at least three DNS zones and publish them | ||
33 | through GNS for users to resolve in a default GNUnet installation. | ||
