This working group will standardize encodings for DNS queries and responses
that are suitable for use in HTTPS. This will enable the domain name system
to function over certain paths where existing DNS methods (UDP, TLS, and DTLS)
experience problems. The working group will re-use HTTPS methods, error codes,
and other semantics to the greatest extent possible. The use of HTTPS
provides integrity and confidentiality, and it also allows the transport to
interoperate with common HTTPS infrastructure and policy.
Specification of how the DNS data may used for new use cases, and the
discovery of the DOH servers, are out of scope for the working group.
The working group will begin its work based on
draft-hoffman-dispatch-dns-over-https.
The working group will deliver a document describing how to obtain and
interpret DNS information using the HTTPS protocol, with an IETF Last Call
expected in December 2017.
