Secure DNS infrastructure with DNSSEC
28,00 €
The Domain Name System (DNS) is an old and “unsecure by default” protocol, yet at the core of Internet communications and carrying more and more security-related information.
Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) adds origin authentication and integrity protection to the protocol by signing DNS data. However the ratio of signed domain names remains low, mostly because, as any security feature, DNSSEC brings some risks when implemented without a proper understanding.
This course targets IT students, professionals or enthusiasts currently managing domain names and willing to start signing their DNS zones, improve or gain confidence in their signing procedures with hands-on experience and best-practices.

Contents
This course covers the following :
- theoretical background on DNSSEC
- protecting a DNS domain with DNSSEC in practice
- actual implementation of DNSSEC-signing (manually then automatically)
- DNSSEC-signing validation and monitoring
Objective
During this course, after a more theoretical introduction to understand the basic concepts of DNSSEC, learners will be invited to actually install, configure and operate DNSSEC-signing utilities, from most simple (manual) to complex (automated) solution.
By the end of the course and thanks to hands-on labs, students will have acquired the required knowledge and experience to confidently implement DNSSEC themselves onto their own DNS infrastructure.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, learners will be able to:
- fully understand DNSSEC principles, purpose and advantages
- anticipate and mitigate DNSSEC risks
- Confidently implement simple to more advanced DNSSEC-signing infrastructure using open-source software
- analyze, troubleshoot and correct most common DNSSEC-related issues
- acquire DNSSEC confidence best practices
