DNSKEY Lookup
Query DNSKEY records to examine DNSSEC public keys and validation
Ready to Lookup DNSKEY Records
Enter a domain name above to query its DNSKEY records and examine DNSSEC configuration.
What you'll get:
- Public key information and algorithms
- Key Signing Keys (KSK) and Zone Signing Keys (ZSK)
- DNSSEC validation status
- Security recommendations
DNSKEY (DNS Public Key) records contain public keys used in DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) to authenticate DNS data and prevent DNS spoofing attacks. They are essential for establishing a chain of trust in the DNS hierarchy.
Key Components:
- Flags: Indicates the key type (256 for ZSK, 257 for KSK)
- Protocol: Always 3 for DNSSEC
- Algorithm: Cryptographic algorithm used (RSA, ECDSA, etc.)
- Public Key: The actual cryptographic public key data
Key Types:
KSKKey Signing Key
Used to sign other DNSKEY records and establish trust with the parent zone
ZSKZone Signing Key
Used to sign all other records in the DNS zone
