DNSSEC resources

DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) was first introduced in the mid-1990s as an additional security measure to protect the DNS from cache poisoning exploits (recently referred to as the Kaminsky bug) which can allow a bad actor to get in the middle of an Internet users’ request to access a Web site without their knowledge. DNSSEC introduces digital signatures to the DNS infrastructure and can provide users with effective verification that their applications, such as Web or email, are using the correct addresses for servers they want to reach.
