VeriSign has promised to deploy DNS Security Extensions – known as DNSSEC – across all of its top-level domains within two years.

"VeriSign is moving forward with the implementation of DNSSEC across all of the Top Level Domains that we operate," VeriSign said in a statement to Network World. ".com will most likely be the last TLD to adopt DNSSEC due to the size of the zone. We anticipate full implementation of DNSSEC to be complete across all TLDs in approximately 24 months."

DNSSEC uses digital signatures and public-key encryption to allow Web sites to verify their domain names and corresponding IP addresses. DNSSEC prevents hackers from hijacking Web traffic and redirecting it to bogus sites, which are called cache poisoning attacks.
