The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced a webinar in collaboration with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
The partnership is aimed at increasing people’s awareness of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) in Nigeria.
The webinar, which is scheduled for tomorrow, December 12, at 11:00am WAT, aims to promote DNSSEC validation and ensure that Nigeria achieves increased awareness by the end of the year.
Report has it that the goal is to have at least 50 percent DNSSEC validation in the country by the end of the year, as noted in a notice posted on the NCC’s verified social media account.
The Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is a suite of specifications developed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to enhance the security of the Domain Name System (DNS).
The DNS serves as the internet’s phonebook, translating human-friendly domain names into IP addresses that enable computers to locate and communicate with each other on the network.
