Google announced that their public Domain Name System (DNS) service now comes with support for the DNS-over-TLS security protocol which wraps DNS queries and answers using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.

The DNS-over-TLS is used to protect DNS resolvers and the ones who use them against man-in-the-middle attacks which a third party could use to eavesdrop on Internet connections or manipulate DNS data with malicious intent.

The search giant has implemented the DNS-over-TLS specification using IETF's RFC 7766 recommendations to "minimize the overhead of using TLS."
According to Google's announcement, DNS-over-TLS is available for Android 9 Pie users starting today.
