DNSSECrelated
DNSSECrelated refers to topics, standards, and technologies associated with DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC), which add origin authentication and data integrity to DNS responses. It encompasses the mechanisms for signing DNS data, validating signatures, publishing and managing related records, and the operational practices that support a secure delegation chain from the root to individual zones. The term also covers tooling, governance, and deployment considerations that influence how DNSSEC is implemented in domains and resolvers.
Core concepts include signing zone data with digital signatures and publishing the corresponding public keys. DNSKEY
Validation and chain of trust are central to DNSSEC’s value. Recursive resolvers verify signatures against trusted
Deployment and operational considerations include signing zones, publishing DNSKEYs, and adding DS records to parent zones.
