New solution to speed adoption of DNSSEC and enhance Internet security

 DUBLIN, IRELAND - 2 March 2009 - Today Afilias announced the beta launch of 1-Click DNSSEC^TM , an enhancement to its Managed DNS Service, that allows organizations, corporations and government agencies to enable DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) on their domains, quickly and easily. Afilias is currently accepting ‘proof of concept' testing customers and expects to officially rollout 1-Click DNSSEC^TM as a service available to all of the Afilias Managed DNS customers later this year.

DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) was first introduced in the mid-1990s as an additional security measure to protect the DNS from cache poisoning exploits (recently referred to as the Kaminsky bug) which can allow a bad actor to get in the middle of an Internet users’ request to access a Web site without their knowledge. DNSSEC introduces digital signatures to the DNS infrastructure and can provide users with effective verification that their applications, such as Web or email, are using the correct addresses for servers they want to reach.
