“With DNSSEC, DNS records are cryptographically signed, and
those signatures are verified to ensure the information is
accurate. Adoption of DNSSEC, however, has been held back by both
the complexity of implementation and a lack of simpler tools,
Dickinson said.“To sign DNS records, DNSSEC uses public key cryptography, where
signatures are created using a public and private key and
implemented on a zone level. Part of the problem is management of
those keys, since they must be refreshed periodically to maintain a
high level of security, Dickinson said. A mistake in managing those
keys could cause major problems, which is one of the challenges for
administrators.”
