DNS security is important but is DNSSEC a failed experiment?
Briefly

DNSSEC was enabled for systemsapproach.org to explore adoption barriers and understand its significance. Large providers simplify DNSSEC activation, yet its late implementation highlights ongoing security challenges in internet infrastructure. Focus on infrastructure security revealed that DNSSEC has low deployment at 34%, contrasting starkly with HTTPS at 96%. A lack of awareness and user visibility undermines DNSSEC's effectiveness despite its critical role in protecting against domain vulnerabilities, reflecting a broader issue in the adoption of enabling technologies for internet security.
The heart of the problem with DNSSEC is lack of user visibility, evident from its deployment stats and a significant contrast with HTTPS adoption rates.
DNSSEC is arguably the worst performing technology at 34 percent, while HTTPS, which is roughly the same age, is enabled at 96 percent of the top 1,000 websites globally.
