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.
