DNSSEC

If DNS is the phone book of the Internet, DNSSEC is the Internet’s unspoofable caller ID. It guarantees a web application’s traffic is safely routed to the correct servers so that a site’s visitors are not intercepted by a hidden “man-in-the-middle” attacker. These attacks usually go unnoticed by sites’ visitors, increasing the risk of phishing, malware infections, and personal data leakage.

DNSSEC however is very complicated, and this has been a hurdle for its adoption.

Because trust in DNSSEC is top-down (The root zone verifies the .com zone, and the .com zone verifies the zone, and so forth), enabling DNSSEC requires a website owner to update the DS record with your registrar.

Conclusion

In order to enable DNSSEC for your domain you require 2 things.
  1. A Registrar that supports DNSSEC
  2. An Authoritive DNS Service (or Server) that supports DNSSEC
