DNSSEC - a sure fire way to help avoid domain name spoofing

_____________________________________________________________________________

When deploying DNSSEC, a domain name registry introduces a layer of security that can be built upon.  This layer of security is part of the chain of trust in the DNS.  There can be multiple layers between the user and a server.

DNSSEC is a major change in the DNS protocol and whilst it offers a level of trust for Internet users, where responses can be authenticated and queries verified. It is worth noting that an error made to a signed zone can cause a zone to appear offline or bogus to validating resolvers. Therefore it's always worth while keeping a note of which domain names you have enabled this service for as changing the nameservers to a third-party provider after the fact and not re-creating these DNSSEC records will result in the domain and any service using it becoming untrusted around the Internet.

For those wanting to read more into it and get to the real nitty-gritty technicalities of DNSSEC, please click here to head over to the IETF's rather thrillingly named RFC 4034 Specification.
