The Impact of Quantum Cryptography on DNSSEC and the Way Forward with Post-Quantum Cryptography
The advent of quantum computing poses significant challenges to traditional cryptographic systems, including DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC). DNSSEC is a suite of extensions to DNS that adds security by enabling DNS responses to be authenticated. However, the cryptographic algorithms that underpin DNSSEC are vulnerable to the computational power of quantum computers. In this blog, we […]

DNS Key Trap
The DNS Key Trap According to the National Vulnerability Database Certain aspects of DNSSEC in the DNS protocol, outlined in RFCs 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related documents, enable remote attackers to initiate a denial of service (CPU consumption) through multiple DNSSEC responses, known as the “KeyTrap” issue. One significant concern is that when a […]
Implementing DNS Resolver Security
Introduction DNS resolvers are the backbone of internet connectivity, converting human-readable domain names into IP addresses. For Internet Service Providers (ISPs), ensuring the security of their DNS resolvers is crucial to maintaining the trust and safety of their users. This blog explores the importance of DNS resolver security for ISPs, common threats, and best practices […]
Measuring Latency with Ping: Enhancing Network Performance Insights with AIORI
In the realm of network performance, latency is a crucial metric that reflects the time it takes for data to travel from a source to a destination and back.

The Role of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC Records in Email Security
Email is a fundamental communication tool, but it is also a common vector for spam, phishing, and other malicious activities. To combat these threats, organizations use various email authentication methods. Three critical technologies in this area are SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance). This blog […]
