Unbound is designed as a set of modular components that incorporate modern features, such as enhanced security validation, Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), and a client resolver application programming interface library as an integral part of the architecture.
Contains the DNSSEC signature for a record set. DNS resolvers verify the signature with a public key, stored in a DNSKEY record. DNSKEY Contains the public key that a DNS resolver uses to verify DNSSEC signatures in RRSIG records. DS (delegation signer) Holds the name of a delegated zone. References a DNSKEY record in the sub-delegated zone.
Knot DNS is an open-source authoritative-only server for the Domain Name System.It was created from scratch and is actively developed by CZ.NIC, the .CZ domain registry. The purpose of this project is to supply an alternative open-source implementation of an authoritative DNS server suitable for TLD operators to increase overall security, stability and resiliency of the Domain Name System.
It is a free software product and is distributed with most Unix and Linux platforms, where it is most often also referred to as named (name daemon). It is the most widely deployed DNS server. [ 1 ] Historically, BIND underwent three major revisions, each with significantly different architectures: BIND4, BIND8, and BIND9.
OpenDNSSEC was created as an open-source turn-key solution for DNSSEC. It secures DNS zone data just before it is published in an authoritative name server . OpenDNSSEC takes in unsigned zones, adds digital signatures and other records for DNSSEC and passes it on to the authoritative name servers for that zone.
As of March 2009, there are a number of forks, one of which is dbndns (part of the Debian Project), and more than a dozen patches to modify the released version. [ 8 ] While djbdns does not directly support DNSSEC , there are third party patches to add DNSSEC support to djbdns' authoritative-only tinydns component.
Trusting a large number of CAs might be a problem because any breached CA could issue a certificate for any domain name. DANE enables the administrator of a domain name to certify the keys used in that domain's TLS clients or servers by storing them in the Domain Name System (DNS).
As a result, a number of alternatives and extensions have been proposed. RFC 2137 specifies an update method using a public key "SIG" DNS record. A client holding the corresponding private key can sign the update request. This method matches the DNSSEC method for secure queries. However, this method is deprecated by RFC 3007.
