Description |
---|
A powerful feature of DNSSEC is the ability to sign record sets to ensure their integrity and authenticity throughout the DNS infrastructure and not just between the authoritative name server and its zone partner or local client. The advantages of this feature become apparent when DoD users wish to securely validate records from other organizations, including commercial vendors, business partners, and other Government agencies. |
