Title: NIST Leads High-Assurance Domains Project to Enhance DNS Security
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is spearheading the High-Assurance Domains (HAD) project, which aims to develop and promote new security technologies for the Domain Name System (DNS). The project involves collaboration with industry partners, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and key user groups to enhance online trust and security.
The HAD project focuses on technologies like DNSSEC and DANE, which leverage the DNS hierarchy to provide data authentication and integrity protection. These technologies are crucial for securing emerging domains such as the Internet of Things (IoT), where device security is of utmost importance.
After the development of these security measures, the HAD project will shift its focus to deployment guidance, best practices, and testing tools to facilitate the adoption and implementation of these security measures in global internet infrastructure. The project aims to promote widespread adoption of these security technologies to enhance the overall security and trustworthiness of the internet.
