Assessment Title
Rule Text
The Infoblox DNS service member must implement cryptographic mechanisms to detect changes to information during transmission unless otherwise protected by alternative physical safeguards, such as, at a minimum, a Protected Distribution System (PDS).
Description
Discussion Text
Encrypting information for transmission protects it from unauthorized disclosure and modification. Cryptographic mechanisms implemented to protect information integrity include, for example, cryptographic hash functions that have common application in digital signatures, checksums, and message authentication codes.
Confidentiality is not an objective of DNS, but integrity is. DNSSEC digitally signs DNS information to authenticate its source and ensure its integrity.
DNSSEC is intended for third-party authenticity determination. Attempting to utilize DNSSEC internally was never an intended use case as it would require every consumer to have a third-party validating resolver installed along with a mechanism for periodic trust anchor distribution/update. It is recommended for external zones only.
