DNSSEC – Helping Secure the Internet

March 7, 2014 by Tasha

The DNS (Domain Name System) is one of the most critical protocols in use on the Internet. Virtually every end user transaction involves a DNS query. Every email, text message, and web page viewed requires interaction with a DNS server. With such a critical service, it’s no surprise that it has increasingly become the target of attack since its inception in 1983. There are multiple ways the DNS can be attacked. The current implementations of DNS are inherently insecure and prone to attack using various methods including cache poisoning, man-in-the-middle attacks, DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Amplification attacks, or simply just hijacking[1] the registrar and changing the authoritative DNS servers to the choice of the attacker, among others.
