What Is DNSSEC?

DNSSEC — DNS security extensions that let resolvers authenticate the origin and integrity of DNS data through digital signatures and a chain of trust.

DNSSEC authenticates DNS data and protects its integrity with digital signatures; it does not encrypt queries. The chain of trust runs from the root through a DS record to the child zone’s keys, and an inconsistent link causes validation failure.
