An integrated testing system for IPv6 and DNSSEC

IPv6 protocol, which should replace the actual IPv4 protocol, brings many new possibilities and improvements considering simplicity, routing speed, quality of service, and security. In comparison to IPv4, IPv6 improves mechanisms for assuring a secure and confidential transfer of information. DNS has been extended to provide security services (Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC)) mainly through public key cryptography. We propose a new approach to DNSSEC that may result in a significantly more efficient protocol. We introduce a new strategy to build chains of trust from root servers to authoritative servers. The techniques we employ are based on symmetric-key cryptography. With the depletion of IPv4 address and rampant information security threat, IPv6 and DNSSEC are widely deployed in recent years, but there is no platform that can integrate all relevant detection information and technical information and provide advice for officers concerned in Taiwan. This paper implements an Auxiliary Deployment System for IPv6 and DNSSEC and presents the results of preliminary testing and statistics which can help technology and promoting staff to do evaluation, promotion, and debugging on IPv6 and DNSSEC deployment easily.
