DNSSEC improves the trust and integrity of DNS. Often referred to as the phone book of the Internet, DNS translates domain names into numeric Internet addresses. However, DNS is a fundamentally insecure protocol. It does not guarantee where DNS records come from, and it accepts any address given to it, no questions asked.
Aveshost offers easy-to-use DNSSEC, and it only takes a few minutes to set up.
DNSSEC adds a layer of security to an otherwise insecure protocol by verifying DNS records using cryptographic signatures. By checking the signature associated with a record, DNS resolvers can verify that the requested information comes from its authoritative nameserver and not a man-in-the-middle attacker.
With DNSSEC, those visiting your domain are guaranteed to see the content on your website and not somebody else’s web server.
DNS cache poisoning and answer forgery has been a known vulnerability in the global DNS infrastructure since the beginning of DNS. Cache poisoning occurs when an attacker tricks a DNS nameserver into storing incorrect records. Until the cache entry expires, that nameserver will return the fake DNS records to everyone else that asks.
This allows an attacker to hijack traffic to your website. Instead of being directed to your website when they type your domain into a web browser, your visitors are routed to somebody else’s server without even knowing something went wrong. Attackers can use DNS hijacking for phishing schemes, serving unsolicited advertisements, monitoring web traffic, and blocking access to specific domains.
If you care about the integrity and reputation of your website, you should care about DNSSEC.

With DNSSEC, your web property will benefit from:
DNSSEC prevents man-in-the-middle attacks by establishing a chain of trust all the way up to the root DNS nameservers. This chain of trust ensures that the DNS records a visitor asked for haven’t been tampered with en-route.
