Every web hosting company, domain Registration Company, and third\u00ad-party\nsecurity companies have to follow it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DNSSEC is a combination of two words, 1) DNS and 2) SEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will break the DNS and SEC into two parts so that you can comprehend the combination of\ntechnology, and we will simplify it to\nyou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-dns\">What is DNS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know that there are millions of articles on this topic\nthat explain the DNS as Domain Name System, and it does not explain the meaning\nin a simple way that a common man can\nunderstand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The domain is nothing\nbut IP address of servers where the\nwebsite files are stored in it. IP\nAddress was the only way to access the site in the first generation. A common\nindividual cannot remember multiple websites with the IP address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Domain Name System introduced\nby the ICANN so the masses can access the websites. Domain names are connected with IP address of the server so that it can access the site files without\nIP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have noticed that the broadband login page does not\nhave a name, and IP address shows up in the clipboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"608\" height=\"36\" src=\"https:\/\/youstable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IP-Address-of-a-server.png\" alt=\"dnssec\" class=\"wp-image-1508\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one access sites like Youstable, YouTube, Google,\nContentCreator, and other sites using the IP\naddress. The Domain Name System idea proposed by the ICANN changed the course\nof the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Domain<\/strong> = IP\nAddress &gt; Server &gt; Website<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Domain Name<\/strong>:\nYouStable.com &gt; Server &gt; Website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DNS system makes it easier for normal people to navigate the site using names. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-sec-in-dnssec\">What is the SEC in DNSSEC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security Extensions stands for SEC and <strong><em>Internet Security Protocols<\/em><\/strong>\nproposed it under Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many hackers and privacy invaders found loopholes in the\nDomain Name System and started to exploit it. The IETF cannot overlook the\nloophole as it has claimed millions of people around the world. The consumption\nof the internet has increased over the\nfew years, and everyone depends on the World Wide Web for answers and\nsolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vulnerability<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, experts found leaks and loopholes in the DNS\nsystem that enables the hackers and online invaders to record the communication\nbetween browser and website server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s assume that you are shopping on an unsecured site and entering credit card details\nor debit card details; then it goes\nthrough from browser to website servers, then it repeats the same procedure in\nthe same session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201c<em>Example<\/em><\/strong><em>: DNS Leak is the\nprimary cause of the online invasion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Example Solution<\/em><\/strong><em>: Website\nfounders can solve the issue by adding an SSL\ncertificate that encrypts the data so that\nno one can decipher it.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DNSSEC<\/strong> = Domain\nName System Security Extensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DNSSEC protects the users from online invasion, and it takes the visitors to the actual site or\nservice. However, it does not solve all online problems like the development of the DNSSEC yet to be developed security improvements.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DNSSEC is a complex method that ICANN came up with it a few years ago.
