About the DNSSEC Checker

DNSSEC adds digital signatures to DNS answers so attackers can't send visitors to a fake server by poisoning DNS caches. It works through a chain of trust: the registry publishes a DS record that matches your zone's signing key (DNSKEY).

Nuqti checks the DS record, reads the DNSKEY keys and their algorithm, and asks a validating resolver whether the answers verify. A broken chain is worse than no DNSSEC — validating resolvers will refuse to answer.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need DNSSEC?

It's recommended for banks, governments and any domain where DNS spoofing is a risk. Most registrars and DNS hosts enable it with one click.

What does 'broken' mean?

A DS record exists at the registry but the zone isn't signed with a matching key — usually after changing DNS host without removing the old DS. Validating resolvers then fail to resolve your domain.

What is 'partial'?

The zone is signed (DNSKEY exists) but no DS at the registry, so nobody validates it yet. Add the DS record at your registrar.

Which algorithm is best?

ECDSA P-256 (13) or Ed25519 (15) are modern and compact. RSA/SHA-1 algorithms (5, 7) are outdated.
