Abstract
Internet is critical to both the economy and society in today´s world. Domain Name System (DNS) is a key building block of the internet and the DNS hides all technical infrastructures, software and hardware required for the domain name system to function correctly. It allows users to access websites and exchange emails. It runs a strong mechanism to provide the IP address of the internet host name. An attacker can launch rebinding attack when the DNS server sends a query to any particular server on the network. Different types of techniques have been proposed to prevent this attack that all have some pros and also cones. A new technique is proposed in this paper by using security proxy with a hash function. Rebinding attack can be avoided by using this technique. It provides a secured environment for the DNS to communicate with other DNS. While the source DNS are receiving response from any DNS it will authenticate of all the receiving packets and then sends the data to the client. It gives a secure environment for DNS communication. For this purpose 2 different algorithms are used, namely SHA-2 and AES algorithms. First a random ID will be given to the query and then the query is sent to the DNS server.
