| Abstract | Cryptography and data authentication is very important in communicating through the public
network like the Internet network. Asymmetric cryptography require that public key must be
known to another end host. The problem is non-trustable public key distributed.
This thesis proposed an approach of storing public key for all hosts in the trusted hosts by
extend the function of Domain Name Server (DNS) to serve as both trusted public key and
name server.
Three new Resource Records (RR) were added to provide the services of data authentication,
digital signature and prevent the denial of service attack. Public key for each host can be
queried from Domain Name Server Security (DNSSEC). All answers will be signed with the
zone digital signature. At least one answer is generated for each question to make the different
between host not found and query can not be done.
The experiment results in this study have shown that, time uses for query the public from
DNSSEC is faster than key exchange. The public key received from this process is trustable.
Mean response time of DNSSEC is 5 % slower than normal DNS compared to the security
services received. |
