DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions)

DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is a set of technology that enhances the security of the internet’s domain name system. It ensures that the website you’re visiting truly belongs to the intended domain by verifying the authenticity of the DNS data. This helps prevent attackers from hijacking or redirecting your connection to malicious sites through tampering or forgery. In simple terms, DNSSEC acts like a digital signature that confirms the legitimacy of website addresses, providing users with increased confidence and security when browsing online.
