We all know and use DNS, the Domain Name System. Less well known, however, is the latent danger underlying DNS. In the early days of the Internet, security aspects hardly played a role for fundamental protocols and services like name resolution, websites and sending mail. In the rather simply configured DNS there are also no technologies implemented to prevent misuse of this service. DNSSEC, the abbreviation for DNS Security Extensions, is now going to add the missing security to the name service.

Since 1 February 2010 it has been possible to register signed .ch and .li domains with Switch. Here DNSSEC is an extension of DNS, which guarantees the authenticity and integrity of DNS responses. In professional circles it is considered as the solution for the «cache poisoning» problem. DNSSEC mainly concerns «external» DNS servers which are responsible for Internet resolution.
