New DNSSEC Upgrade to Combat Phishing Websites (TCPIPWorld.com) Fake spam-based websites are being tackled by updating the root servers at the core of the internet. The outcome of this upgrade is more secure online shopping websites and less fraudulent ones. With an added element called domain name system security extension (DNSSEC), online shoppers will be less likely to be victim to fake websites because the DNSSEC add-on will automatically direct customers to the legitimate website. Whenever a customer now enters a website into their browser, the refined authentication process will help to avoid customers from encountering phishing websites which are made to look like the actual website itself. The online shopping experience will be drastically improved overall. Thanks to the efforts of many regulatory organizations, the core of the Internet infrastructure has been revamped. A joint effort between a number of businesses has resulted in an improvement to online consumer protection. Now consumers will less likely be faced with headaches related to data loss and identity theft.
The way that DNS security actually works is not as complicated as it may seem. The system works by signing records digitally. DNS systems are important in order to keep hidden information safe. It is also essential for business owners and website owners to ward off attackers on the internet.
