DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extentions) records, consist of digital signatures in DNS data (Domain Name System), which are vulnerable to attack, making the Internet a safer place for everyone.

What is it and how it works?

DNS are vulnerable in a series to a range of threats and attacks such as man-in-the-middle and cashe poisoning. These threats use false information to redirect users to misleading sites and web addresses. 

The DNSSEC records, introduce digital signatures in the data DNS, verify the source and confirm their authenticity, as they move inside the internet. This means that when a user enters an address with DNSSEC enabled, the response received, meaning the the site where redirected, is verified  of  its authenticity. 

How do I activate the DNSSEC?
