Abstract :
The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the core infrastructure components of the Internet. DNS data is also trivial to spoof. The security extensions to DNS (DNSSEC) provide a mechanism for users to verify the origin authenticity and integrity of DNS data based on cryptographic signatures. DNSSEC as a technology has steadily matured over the past several years and a number of tools and services that facilitate performing DNSSEC-related operations have emerged during this period. This paper gives an overview of using existing tools and utilities from the DNSSEC-Tools suite to build environments that support DNSSEC along the complete path from the authoritative name server where domain data resides to the end-application that uses DNS data.
