Executive summary
Domain Name System Security Extensions, DNSSC, is a tool used to strengthen the
security of the Internet by preventing DNS protocol attacks (Adat & Gupta, 2018). DNSSEC
offers data integrity, authenticated denial of existence, and origin authentication of DNS data. I
chose this topic because I understand the necessities of security at all levels and that there is a
need to research more on the specifics of security at the domain name level. My interest in this
topic was also based on the global compliance levels of this security feature, with higher levels
of compliance witnessed in the United States. This security feature seems easy to implement and
offers crucial protection to clients and consumers using DNS for internet surfing and ecommerce.
DNSSEC was introduced after major DNS flaws were discovered in 1990. Immediate
actions were taken to secure DNS interactions. DNSSEC was, however, employed in the US.gov
registry in 2011 through the company Verisign (Borgolte et al., 2018). The root zone files must
be signed for hem to be verified by DNSSEC. The root zone files are managed by ICANN,
National Telecommunications and Information Administration, VeriSign, and an international
group of root server operators. From this list, it is clear that the United States leads in DNS
service implementations, and implementing DNSSEC will lead to a greater fold on the Internet.
Later in this paper, I will discuss how this is a threat to other countries.
Basically, DNSSEC creates a signature for each DNS record and stores it. The signing of
these records is a very complex process. This paper analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of
implementing DNSSEC. It further discusses the DNSSEC application opportunities and the
threats its implementation could pose to the organization. Further, the paper will evaluate the

current and legal concerns surrounding DNSSEC. I will also analyze the improvements over the
past two years and finalize by giving a prediction of the future role of DNSSEC in the personal
and business sectors.
Conduct a SWOT analysis by analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, application
opportunities, and threats from competitors of the chosen topic.
Strengths
The major benefit of employing DNSSEC is that it will enhance the security of ecommerce transactions on the Internet. DNSSEC will increase the security of online banking and
minimize the risks of phishing attacks. It minimizes the risks of cybercrimes, especially cache
poisoning and man-in-the-middle attacks. A man-in-the-middle attack is whereby the client
requests information from the server, and an attacker intercepts the response being sent back to
the c...
