How does DNSSEC enhance Domain Name System security and safeguard against spoofing attempts?
DNSSEC enhances Domain Name System security by adding cryptographic signatures to DNS records, which allow resolvers to verify that the information received is authentic and has not been altered during transmission. This safeguards against various types of attacks, including DNS spoofing, where malicious actors attempt to redirect users to fake websites by providing false DNS information. DNSSEC strengthens the authenticity and integrity of DNS data, making it more resistant to spoofing attempts and helping to ensure users are directed to legitimate websites.
