DNSSEC is the protocol that guarantees the integrity of DNS resolution by establishing a chain of trust all the way back to the root. Data security is ensured by a mechanism of cryptographic keys that sign DNS zone records. Historically, DNS operators have used RSA keys (RSASHA256 algorithm), renowned for their robustness. As an alternative to this asymmetric cryptographic algorithm, there are elliptic curve algorithms. In the case of DNSSEC, the “ECDSA Curve P-256 with SHA-256̶... Read More

ION: decentralized identity on Bitcoin
The digital identity of tomorrow Identity is an integral part of the digital world in which we live. Any individual, organization or computer is represented virtually by one or more identifiers, closely or distantly linked to different data. The digital identity allows to make the link between a real entity and its virtual representation. Whether it is to authenticate, communicate or use a service on the Web, we use unique identifiers, which are associated with several personal informa... Read More
To understand all about Metaverse and alternative domain names
The word “Metaverse” refers to everything related to virtual worlds (3D, augmented reality, virtual reality), and designates a “future” vision of the Internet, with fictive spaces such as stores, rooms or even games. It’s a bit of a buzzword of the moment, which was put forward by Facebook in October 2021, when it announced the creation of a metaverse (Meta). There is of course a trend effect, however several major brands seem to be working on the subject. Ma... Read More
DNS on Blockchain: the next evolution of domain names?
Image source: TheDigitalArtist via Pixabay Summary The DNS, the Domain Name System, is a service at the heart of how the Internet operates. It is fundamental to the functioning of many services such as websites, mail servers, VoIP telephony and many others. For more than 30 years, many extensions and functionalities have been added to the DNS, which technically translates into an increase in the complexity of the infrastructure. The Blockchain technology could be a considerable evol... Read More
