Abstract:
In a computing device a domain name system (DNS) query is generated and sent, and a check is made as to whether a verified DNS response to the DNS query is received. The computing device is determined to be inside a particular network if a verified DNS response is received, and is determined to be outside that particular network if a verified DNS response is not received. A DNS response can be determined to be verified if both the DNS response has an expected value and the DNS response is digitally signed by a trusted authority, and otherwise can be determined to be not verified.
