Notes

Sure, I will provide you with more details on the literature review for your master thesis on domain name authentication techniques for Ethereum transactions, with a focus on the implementation of a domain name authentication system on a crypto wallet for Ethereum accounts.

Introduction:
The introduction of your literature review should provide a brief overview of the current system for managing Ethereum accounts, which relies on the use of complex public addresses, and the need for a user-friendly and secure domain name authentication system for Ethereum transactions. You can also briefly mention the research questions or objectives of your thesis.

Literature Review:
In the literature review section, you should provide a detailed analysis of the various domain name authentication techniques that can be used for Ethereum transactions, including the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), Certificate Transparency, Multi-factor authentication (MFA), and DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE).

1. Ethereum Name Service (ENS):
ENS is a decentralized domain name service built on the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to register human-readable domain names and associate them with Ethereum addresses, smart contracts, and other resources. ENS uses a system of smart contracts and decentralized nodes to ensure that domain name registrations are secure and tamper-proof. When a user registers a domain name, a smart contract is created that manages the registration and ownership of that domain. The smart contract records the ownership of the domain, as well as any associated resources, and ensures that only the owner of the domain can make changes to the registration.

You can also discuss the benefits of using ENS, such as its ability to provide a user-friendly way to interact with the Ethereum blockchain and its potential to reduce errors in Ethereum transactions.

2. Certificate Transparency:
Certificate Transparency is a technology that provides a publicly auditable log of SSL/TLS certificates issued by certificate authorities (CAs). In Ethereum, Certificate Transparency can be used to verify the authenticity of smart contract code and dApp code by recording their hashes in a publicly auditable log. This can help prevent the distribution of malicious or tampered code. You can explain how Certificate Transparency works and its potential applications in Ethereum transactions.

3. Multi-factor authentication (MFA):
Multi-factor authentication is a security technique that requires users to provide more than one form of authentication to access their Ethereum accounts or dApps. This can include a combination of passwords, biometric factors, and hardware tokens. MFA can help prevent unauthorized access to Ethereum accounts and prevent the theft of private keys. You can discuss the different types of MFA and their potential benefits and drawbacks in the context of Ethereum transactions.

4. DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE):
DANE is a security protocol that allows for the secure distribution of digital certificates through the DNS. This can be used to verify the ownership and authenticity of domain names in Ethereum transactions. DANE uses a system of DNSSEC-enabled servers to securely store and distribute digital certificates, allowing for strong authentication of domain names. You can explain how DANE works and its potential applications in Ethereum transactions.

Conclusion:
In the conclusion section, you should summarize the main findings of your literature review and how they relate to your research questions or objectives. You can also provide recommendations for future research in the field of domain name authentication for Ethereum transactions.
