Hi Nils,

Thanks for your question! To configure DNSSEC for your domain, you need to provision your public DNSSEC key information with the provider where you registered your domain. Steps:

  1. Retrieve your DS and DNSKEY values
    • from our web interface (click the 🛈 icon next to your domain);
    • or via our API (using a GET request to your domain’s endpoint; the information is contained in the keys field of the response).
  2. Get in touch with your domain provider and send them your key information. Most providers will be satisfied with DS information, but some require DNSKEY.
  3. Finally, use DNSSEC Analyzer to verify that everything is in order.

If you created your domain together with your account, your keys are also displayed on the confirmation page after sign-up. In case you missed that, you can always look them up using the API.

Stay secure,
Peter
