Few technologies are more critical to the operation of the Internet than the Domain Name System (DNS). DNS Security (DNSSEC) is designed to authenticate DNS response data. It verifies responses to ensure a DNS server’s response is what the zone administrator intended. It does not address all threats (nothing does), but it provides a building block for providing additional data security, and not just within the DNS but also within the applications and services that are built on it. Browse the links below to find the information you need to deploy DNSSEC today.
If you know very little about DNSSEC, you may want to start with this video interview that covers the basics of DNSSEC:
If you are just looking for information about how to sign your domain with DNSSEC, you may want to start with our list of tutorials about signing your domain using various domain name registrars.
