DNS-Based Service Discovery Privacy and Security Requirements
RFC 8882, “DNS-Based Service Discovery Privacy and Security Requirements”, is an Informational document published in September 2020 by C. Huitema, D. Kaiser. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
DNS-SD (DNS-based Service Discovery) normally discloses information about devices offering and requesting services. This information includes hostnames, network parameters, and possibly a further description of the corresponding service instance. Especially when mobile devices engage in DNS-based Service Discovery at a public hotspot, serious privacy problems arise. We analyze the requirements of a privacy-respecting discovery service.
