Trustworthy Provisioning of DNS Resolutions Within Web Content
Methods and systems for using or providing trusted DNS resolutions are provided. A method for using trustworthy DNS resolutions may include obtaining a trusted DNS resolution for a domain name within web content. The method may also include initiating a connection to a host associated with the domain name with the trusted DNS resolution. According to a further embodiment, the domain name may be resolved without requesting DNS resolution for the domain name subsequent to identifying the domain name. A system for using a trusted DNS resolution may include trustworthy resolution module and a connection module. A method for providing trustworthy DNS resolutions may include identifying a domain name to be resolved. The method may also include providing a trusted DNS resolution for the identified domain name within web content. A system for providing trustworthy DNS resolutions may include a domain identification module and a trusted resolution provision module.
1 . A computing device-implemented method for using trustworthy domain name system (DNS) resolutions comprising:
obtaining, by a browser executing on a computing device, a trusted DNS resolution for a domain name within web content without sending a request to a DNS resolver for a DNS resolution of the domain name subsequent to identifying the domain name within the web content; and
initiating a connection to a host associated with the domain name with the trusted DNS resolution.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically validating the trusted DNS resolution during a secure sockets layer (SSL) connection phase.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining includes obtaining the trusted DNS resolution for the domain name from within a web page.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining includes obtaining the trusted DNS resolution for the domain name from within header content.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining includes obtaining the trusted DNS resolution for the domain name from within a hypertext markup language (HTML) tag field.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining includes obtaining the trusted DNS resolution for the domain name from a scripting language.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining includes obtaining the trusted DNS resolution for the domain name from within a secure sockets layer (SSL) web link.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining includes obtaining a particular DNS resolution for the domain name that is closer to a desired domain than a current DNS resolution for the domain name.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the initiating includes initiating the connection to a secure sockets layer (SSL) enabled sub-resource with the trusted DNS resolution.
11 . A computing device-implemented method for providing trustworthy domain name system (DNS) resolutions comprising:
identifying a domain name to be resolved; and
providing, by a browser executing on a computing device, a trusted DNS resolution for the identified domain name within web content, without sending a request to a DNS resolver for a DNS resolution of the identified domain name subsequent to the identifying from the DNS resolver.
12 . (canceled)
13 . A system for using trustworthy domain name system (DNS) resolutions comprising:
a computing device;
a trustworthy resolution module, implemented within a browser on the computing device, configured to obtain a trusted DNS resolution for a domain name from web content; and
a connection module, implemented within the browser on the computing device, configured to connect to a host associated with the domain name with the trusted DNS resolution without sending a request to a DNS resolver for a DNS resolution of the domain name subsequent to identification of the domain name within the web content.
14 . (canceled)
15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the connection module is further configured to automatically validate the trusted DNS resolution during a secure sockets layer (SSL) connection phase.
16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the trustworthy resolution module is further configured to obtain the trusted DNS resolution from within a web page.
17 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the trustworthy resolution module is further configured to obtain the trusted DNS resolution from within header content.
18 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the trustworthy resolution module is further configured to obtain the trusted DNS resolution from within a hypertext markup language (HTML) tag field.
19 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the trustworthy resolution module is further configured to obtain the trusted DNS resolution from a scripting language.
20 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the trustworthy resolution module is further configured to obtain the trusted DNS resolution from within a secure sockets layer (SSL) web link.
21 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the trustworthy resolution module is further configured to obtain a particular DNS resolution for the domain name that is closer to a serving domain than a current DNS resolution for the domain name.
22 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the connection module is further configured to initiate a connection to a secure sockets layer (SSL) enabled sub-resource with the trusted DNS resolution.
23 . A system for providing trustworthy domain name system (DNS) resolutions comprising:
a computing device;
a domain identification module configured to identify a domain name to be resolved; and
a trustworthy resolution provision module, implemented within a browser on the computing device, configured to provide a trusted DNS resolution for the identified domain name within web content without sending a request to a DNS resolver for a DNS resolution of the domain name subsequent to identification of the domain name from a DNS resolver within the web content.
