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.
You may want to begin with our “Where Do I Start?” page where we have guides for:
If you know very little about DNSSEC, you may want to start with this animated introduction to DNSSEC:
If you have 20 minutes, you may also find this video interview that covers the basics of DNSSEC very useful.
If you are just looking for information about how to sign your domain with DNSSEC – or even what DNSSEC is all about, you may want to start with our DNSSEC Basics page.

[…] DNSSEC provides a level of additional security that allows the client to cryptographically check that the received answer is exactly the same as published by the domain owner and wasn’t modified in transit. When using DNSSEC-enabled queries for DNSSEC-protected domain names, the responses contain additional information — signatures and cryptographic keys — used to validate the answers. But DNSSEC is only part of the amplification story. […]
