Enigma Secret Contract DNS service

enigmadns

Secret contract based DNS service for Enigma blockchain.

NOTE: Current implementation does not do any authorization and there is no registration fee as the Enigma still lacks functionality like msg.sender and two-way communication with Ethereum.

Components

1. enigmadns: DNS implementation on Enigma blockchain as a secret contract.

Implements the backend functionality as an Enigma secret contract. It is possible to:

• Register a domain.
• Change the domain pointer.
• Resolve a domain.

Building and running

Install discovery-cli: https://github.com/enigmampc/discovery-cli .

Run:

discovery init
discovery start
discovery compile
discovery migrate

2. client: Admin client for registering and changing the DNS targets.

Currently the following functionality has been implemented:

• Register a domain.
• Change domain pointer.
• Test the domain resolving.

Building and running

Run:

cd client
npm install
npm start

3. browser-ext: Browser extension for Firefox that resolves any .enigma addresses.

Has been tested with Firefox 70.

The extension intercepts all page load calls and checks if the target URL is under a .enigma-domain. Then it calls the enigmadns backend to resolve the domain into a raw IP address or a different domain name and replaces the target URL with the resolved address.

Building

cd browser-ext
npm install
npm run build

Installing

• Open Firefox and navigate to about:debugging.
• Select "This Firefox".
• Select "Load temporary add-on" and select browser-ext/addon/manifest.json.
