DNS faces obsolescence with new security protocols and industry backing

The Domain Name System (DNS) is facing obsolescence due to emerging technologies that offer enhanced security and efficiency. Protocols like DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT) are gaining traction, providing encrypted communication channels that protect against eavesdropping and manipulation. Furthermore, new standards like RFC 9246, which focuses on URI signing for CDN interconnection, are paving the way for more robust and secure internet infrastructure. Major tech companies such as Google, Cloudflare, Apple, and Microsoft are actively involved in developing and implementing these next-generation solutions, signaling a significant shift away from traditional DNS.
