ABSTRACT
The mapping or binding of IP addresses to host names became a major problem in the rapidly
growing Internet and the higher level binding effort went through different stages of
development up to the currently used Domain Name System (DNS).
The DNS Security is designed to provide security by combining the concept of both the
Digital Signature and Asymmetric key (Public key) Cryptography. Here the Public key is
send instead of Private key.
The DNS security uses Message Digest Algorithm to compress the Message(text file) and
PRNG(Pseudo Random Number Generator) Algorithm for generating Public and Private key.
The message combines with the Private key to form a Signature using DSA Algorithm, which
is send along with the Public key.
The receiver uses the Public key and DSA Algorithm to form a Signature. If this Signature
matches with the Signature of the message received, the message is Decrypted and read else
discarded.
