What is Domain Name System Security Extensions?
The '''Domain Name System Security Extensions''' is a set of standards that add security features to the [[Domain Name System]]. Usually, it is called '''DNSSec'''. The domain name system stores information about internet domains. With DNSSec, it is possible to verify that the data provided is really the data that holder of the domain submitted. DNSSec was developed to fight against [[DNS hijacking]]. It uses [[Digital signature|digital signatures]] to protect the data. There's no [[authentication]] of server or client. DNSSec does not use encryption, as this is not needed. {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Domain Name System]]
