Understanding DNSSEC
DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is a security extension that works like a seal of authenticity for websites. It ensures that whenever you type in a web address onto your browser (e.g. www.adomainname.com) you are redirected to the correct website instead of a fraudulent one.
It is not a single record type, but rather a suite of extensions that add cryptographic signatures to existing DNS records. This helps to ensure the authenticity and integrity of DNS data, protecting against various attacks like DNS poisoning and spoofing.
Here are the key DNSSEC record types:
DNSKEY: Contains the public key used to verify the digital signatures of other DNSSEC records in the zone.
RRSIG: Contains the digital signature for a specific record set (e.g., A, MX, etc.).
DS: Contains a hashed version of the DNSKEY record, used for delegation and trust anchoring.
By adding these record types to a DNS zone, DNSSEC enables resolvers to verify the authenticity of DNS responses, providing a higher level of security for domain name resolution.
The Importance of Setting Up DNSSEC
The Risks of Not Using DNSSEC
Risk of Impersonation
Domains that have DNSSEC disabled are easy impersonation targets for hackers.
Risk of Cyber Attacks
Domains that have DNSSEC disabled are much more vulnerable to cyber attacks like DNS spoofing and Man-in-the-middle.
Risk of Reputation Damage
Without DNSSEC, domains are prone to reputational damage and distrust among users.
