Encrypted DNS

Definitions

1. DNS resolution sent over encrypted protocols such as DoH or DoT so intermediaries cannot easily read or tamper with queries in plaintext. It improves privacy and integrity on the wire, though trust still shifts toward the chosen resolver.

   In plain English: DNS traffic that is protected with encryption instead of being sent openly.

   Example: "The mobile profile enforced encrypted DNS so hotel Wi-Fi could not inspect domain lookups directly."
