Every time you type a website address into your browser, you rely on the Domain Name System (DNS) to translate that human-readable name into a numerical IP address that computers can understand. This invisible infrastructure powers virtually every interaction on the internet, from checking email to online banking. However, this critical system has a fundamental vulnerability: it was designed without built-in authentication, making it susceptible to various attacks that can redirect users to malicious websites without their knowledge. This guide explains how cryptographic security extensions address this decades-old security gap.
