ODoQ: Oblivious DNS-over-QUIC
The Domain Name System (DNS), which converts domain names to their respective IP addresses, has advanced enhancements aimed at safeguarding DNS data and users' identity from attackers. The recent privacy-focused advancements have enabled the IETF to standardize several protocols. Nevertheless, these protocols tend to focus on either strengthening user privacy (like Oblivious DNS and Oblivious DNS-over-HTTPS) or reducing resolution latency (as demonstrated by DNS-over-QUIC). Achieving both withi…

The reading of IETF RFC 2119 going around reminded me that I had recorded myself reading the classic e2e paper and Clark's later design philosophy paper for my students. I certainly am not a trained voice actor, but I seem to recall at least a couple of students appreciating that format.
I'm pretty sure I did this around the mid 2000s when iPods were at their peak popularity, but the Wayback Machine doesn't have a record of them until much later.
