DNSSEC Mastery, 2nd Edition - Paperback

by Michael W. Lucas (Author)

DNS

The world's most successful distributed database-and the most naïve.

The Domain Name System is one of the Internet's oldest protocols, designed for a network without hostile users. Intruders targeting a network start by investigating their DNS. DNS Security Extensions, or DNSSEC, hardens DNS and brings it into the 21^st century. Learning DNSSEC required wading through years of obsolete tutorials, dead ends, and inscrutable standards.

Until now.

This new edition of DNSSEC Mastery will have DNS administrators deploying DNSSEC with industry-standard software in hours instead of weeks. You will:

• Understand what DNSSEC provides
• Configure your servers to resist attack
• Verify your environment supports modern DNS
• Debug DNSSEC and the Chain of Trust
• Sign your zones and attach them to the Chain of Trust
• Conceal zone data with NSEC3
• Automate DNSSEC maintenance
• Roll over keys to maintain integrity
• Implement DNSSEC on private networks
• Securely distribute security-critical information via DNS

And more! DNSSEC Mastery transforms DNS from a headache to a solution.
