DNSSEC

Strengthen your domain’s security with a digital signature!

What is DNSSEC and the digital signatures?

DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) implements digital signatures in DNS data (Domain Name System), which are vulnerable to attack; thus, our security measures make the Internet a safer place for everyone to navigate.

DNS are vulnerable to a range of threats and attacks, such as man-in-the-middle and cache 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 within the internet. This means that when a user enters an address with DNSSEC enabled, the response received, meaning the site where it is redirected, has its authority verified for authenticity.

How do I activate the DNSSEC?

To activate the DNSSEC for your domain name, you need to insert specific DS (Delegation of Signing) records, which contain the digital signature information for your domain names's DNS. Papaki supports DS records for more than 100 TLDs, easily through the Papaki Control Panel.
