# DNSSEC |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is a protocol designed to address security vulnerabilities in the Domain Name System (DNS). Here are the key points: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Digital Signatures:** |
||||||
|
DNSSEC protects against attacks by digitally signing DNS data. These signatures ensure data validity and prevent tampering. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Hierarchical Signing:** |
||||||
|
DNSSEC signs data at every level of the DNS lookup process. For instance, when looking up ‘google.com,’ the root DNS server signs a key for the .COM nameserver, which then signs a key for google.com’s authoritative nameserver. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Backwards Compatibility:** |
||||||
|
DNSSEC doesn’t disrupt traditional DNS lookups; it adds security without breaking existing functionality. It complements other security measures like SSL/TLS. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Chain of Trust:** |
||||||
|
DNSSEC establishes a parent-child trust chain from the root zone down to specific domains. |
||||||
|
Any compromise in this chain exposes requests to on-path attacks. |
