The '''Domain Name System Security Extensions''' is a set of [[DNS|Domain Name System]] (DNS) extensions which enables communication authentication between hosts and DNS data, while ensuring data integrity.  DNSSEC is used for securing specific information provided by [[DNS]].
+
The '''ICANNWiki Edit-a-thon''' is built to be a teaching and learning tool. Wiki-novices and experts join together to add to our collective knowledge surrounding the latest happenings in Internet governance and ICANN. It is our goal to build a wiki that reflects the expertise and experience of conference attendees, scholars and journalists. Please join ICANNWiki and your fellow attendees in creating a fun, educational event. '''<span style=“color:#008080”>The first 15-20 participants who make meaningful edits to the wiki will be invited to informal reception with food, drink, prizes and post-conference-day merriment!</span>'''

The main goal of DNSSEC is to protect against [[Data Spoofing|data spoofing]] and corruption. Initially, it was called only [[DNS]] (Domain Name System) and did not include security extensions. The main DNSSEC extensions are specified by RFC4033, RFC4034, and RFC4035. There are also some additional [[RFC]]s which provide supporting information.

The DNS was initially developed without any security extensions, thus increasing the chances to get out of synch and allow the spoofing of [[IP Address|IP Addresses]] with the purpose of redirecting traffic to undesired websites. DNSSEC was created as a means of adding protection and security to the DNS so that the redirected traffic could be checked and directed towards the correct server.
