DNSCurve uses high-speed high-security elliptic curve cryptography to add link-layer security on top of standard DNS, in a way that's simple to implement and administer and scales well.

Not much is known about the protocol as of September 1st 2008, as it has just been announced [1] by its author, Daniel J. Bernstein.
