Understanding DNS Security Extensions

DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is a set of security protocols that add a layer of authentication and integrity to the Domain Name System (DNS). DNSSEC uses cryptographic signatures to secure DNS data transmissions, helping to prevent DNS spoofing, cache poisoning, and other types of DNS attacks. DNSSEC ensures that users are directed to the correct websites and that the data received from DNS queries is trustworthy.
