DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) as its name suggest is a security extension of the popular Doman Name System (DNS). The primary job of the DNS is to translate "human-memorable" domain names into "machine-readable" IP addresses. DNS is not as secure as it need to be, and DNSSEC was invented to strengthens authentication in DNS using public key cryptography. This prevents Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack with a chain of trust as every link in the chain has signed DS record. Use our DNSSEC lookup tool to verify existance and validity of the DNSSEC record.
