Abstract
A system that converts standardized lightweight database access protocol (LDAP) requests into a series of domain name system (DNS) requests to look up requested information. DNS responses are validated using DNS security extensions (DNSSEC) to ensure their validity, then converted into standardized LDAP responses. The system is either operated as a service for public use on the Internet or private use in an enterprise; or as an application running on end user machines, e.g., laptops, mobile phones, to guarantee end-to-end security by validating responses on the end user machine. The standardized, widespread nature of the LDAP allows existing applications to immediately reap the benefits of global, ubiquitous, cross-organizational, trans-national data distribution via DNS secured by DNSSEC.
