  • Abstract
    Two main security threats exist for DNS in the context of query/response transactions. Attackers can spoof authoritative name servers responding to DNS queries and alter DNS responses in transit through man-in-the-middle attacks, and alter the DNS responses stored in caching name servers. The IETF has defined the digital signature-based DNSSEC for protecting DNS query/response transactions through a series of requests for comments.
