A Name Collision is a term used to describe the circumstance in which a term is used to try and reach a private Domain Name that results in resolving to a public Domain Name unintentionally. Private domain names are used in Intranets and in many corporations and organizations throughout the world. A domain name on a private network that matches a name in the public Internet can create security risks in which private information is obtained or private networks are hacked.

History

New gTLD Program

A renewed interest in the name collision issue came about as ICANN's New gTLD Program was preparing to delegate hundreds of New domain names to the Root.
