The Domain Name System (DNS) attributes human-readable names to IP addresses. It is one of the most critical parts of the internet infrastructure. Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) are a suite of specifications that improve the security of DNS.
Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) aims to introduce security features to DNS, which did not originally include such features. It uses digital signatures to strengthen authentication in DNS and comprise a suite of specifications that provides the means for assuring that the responses to DNS requests are valid and have not been manipulated or poisoned, thus increasing the level of trust.
The DNSSEC adoption rate in EU Member States is currently at a medium level, although there is quite a fragmentation among them, with some Member States better placed than others.
