DNSSEC (short for DNS Security Extensions) adds security to the Domain Name System.

DNSSEC was designed to protect the Internet from certain attacks, such as DNS cache poisoning.

It is a set of extensions to DNS, which provide:

  • origin authentication of DNS data
  • data integrity
  • authenticated denial of existence

DNSSEC does not provide availability or confidentiality.
