This project strengthens the resilience of the global Domain Name System (DNS) in preparation for the era of quantum computing.
Deakin Cyber has been awarded $1.047 million from auDA to lead the development of a quantum-safe Domain Name System (DNS), ensuring the continued resilience and security of the global internet in the post-quantum era.
Led by Professor Robin Doss, Director of the Deakin Cyber, the project brings together expertise from CSIRO’s Data61 and QuintessenceLabs to identify, implement and evaluate quantum-resistant encryption approaches for Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC).
As quantum computing rapidly increases computational power, existing encryption methods face growing vulnerabilities. This project aims to support a safe and reliable transition to quantum-safe encryption, maintaining operational stability while future-proofing critical internet infrastructure.
