Nominet to introduce new security levels to .uk domain names
Companies looking to invest in a domain name in the coming years will be able to have a higher level of security attached as Nominet implements new measures.
The UK domain name registry organisation will be introducing the DNSSEC protocol to .co.uk in the next few weeks, making it more difficult for attackers to steal traffic.
According to theregister.co.uk, companies will be able sign DNS records that will make their websites more secure.
In a statement on its website, Nominet said that domain name registration and use will now be better protected.
"The signing of .co.uk was an important step in securing the .uk zone and continues the deployment of DNSSEC across all .uk zones managed by Nominet," it said.
"The schedule for DNSSEC deployment has now seen the chain of trust established for .me.uk and .co.uk."
Later this month, Nominet will be releasing thousands of short .uk web addresses for little amounts of money.
