The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical internet component that translates domain names into IP addresses, enabling user-friendly web navigation. It involves a hierarchical structure with subdomains and requires precise configuration. DNSSEC plays a key role in securing DNS by preventing spoofing and ensuring data authenticity. Understanding and implementing DNS and DNSSEC is vital for maintaining a secure and efficient online presence.

DNS translates domain names to IP addresses for internet navigation
A records
A records point to IP addresses for internet traffic
MX records
MX records guide email delivery to appropriate servers
Subdomains organize different sections of a website or service and can be directed to different IP addresses for traffic management
DNS is structured in a tree-like format with different levels for efficient resolution
DNS uses both recursive and iterative queries to navigate its hierarchical structure and resolve domain names to IP addresses
Configuring DNS involves establishing a DNS resolver on the user's device and specifying preferred DNS server addresses
DNS messages contain sections for queries and responses, with the response providing requested information such as IP addresses
DNS commonly uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on port 53 for communication and resolution
DNS relies on a global collection of servers to efficiently resolve domain names
DNSSEC is a suite of specifications that uses digital signatures and public-key cryptography to protect against attacks on DNS data
Deploying DNSSEC involves enabling it on DNS servers and ensuring that DNS resolvers validate signed data
Maintaining secure DNS practices includes keeping software up-to-date and considering additional security measures like a DNS Firewall
