Abstract
System and method for for associating general data with an end-user based on the domain name system (DNS) resolver that the end-user uses to map the canonical domain names of internet services to their associated network addresses. The present invention elegantly addresses concerns of scale regarding the key-space, for example the global number of distinct DNS resolvers, and the data-space, for example the number of distinct geographical areas to associate
Claims10
A system for associating general information with an end-user through the development of an association key comprising:
- a plurality of association key servers configured to decode encoded information and for communicating with an end-user device using the protocol required by the end-user,
- at least one DNS resolver system associated with an end-user for receiving service requests from the end-user, and for requesting mappings of network addresses, and
- authoritative name server for communicating to the DNS resolver system a sequence of encoded information for use by the association key servers in response to contacts from an end-user device made in the sequence provided by the authoritative name server to iteratively transcribe data encoded within an operational process of standard DNS into metadata specific to the protocol required by the end-user.
