DNSSEC
(Domain Name System Security Extensions)
DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is a suite of specifications designed to secure the DNS by adding cryptographic authentication to DNS responses. It prevents attackers from manipulating or spoofing DNS data, ensuring that users are directed to the correct IP addresses.
DNSSEC works by digitally signing DNS records, allowing DNS resolvers to verify their authenticity. While it does not encrypt DNS traffic, it provides a critical layer of security against attacks like cache poisoning. DNSSEC is increasingly being adopted by organizations and internet service providers to enhance the security and integrity of the DNS infrastructure.
