CurveDNS

A DNSCurve Forwarding Name Server

The regular Github page of CurveDNS can be found here.

This Github pages website is only here to deliver the Master Thesis Shaping DNS Security with Curves by Harm van Tilborg. This thesis was written along with the creation of the CurveDNS software and gives insight in a comparative security analysis of both DNSSEC and DNSCurve. Besides, it also discusses some of the design decisions of CurveDNS and its performance.
