DNS IDENTITY

Verification and Authentication of Domain Name Owners

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Domain names and the Domain Name System (DNS) are at the heart of the modern internet. The ability to transform a human-readable string of characters into an Internet Protocol address is fundamental to services and applications that billions of people take for granted. The DNS is also an integral part of reducing spam and locating other services on the Internet.

Domain name registration is the process of registering and configuring a domain name so that it functions properly. As part of this process, the domain name registrant enters into an agreement with the registrar, which includes a requirement for accurate information. The registrar is responsible for establishing verification procedures to ensure that the information collected is accurate and complete, as well as implementing strong authentication controls to guarantee the protection of the accounts related to the domain names.
