Automated DNSSEC & Infrastructure Resilience Audit
Inspect cryptographic DNSSEC trust chains, verify zone signing keys (ZSK/KSK), audit algorithm modernity (RFC 8080 Ed25519 and RFC 6605 ECDSA P-256), and evaluate recursive resolver latency. Export synthetic metrics directly to your Prometheus & Grafana observability pipelines.
Why DNSSEC & Infrastructure Resilience Telemetry?
The Domain Name System is the fundamental trust anchor of the open internet. When DNSSEC is missing or improperly configured, public-interest web deployments and civic platforms become vulnerable to BGP route hijacking, cache poisoning, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Even when DNSSEC is signed, stale delegations, key rollover desynchronization, and recursive resolver divergence frequently go undetected until catastrophic downtime occurs.
Cryptographic Algorithm Agility (RFC 8080 & RFC 6605)
Legacy deployments often rely on outdated 1024-bit or 2048-bit RSA keys, resulting in large DNS response payloads that trigger UDP packet truncation and force TCP fallbacks. Modern infrastructure demands algorithm agility:
- Algorithm 13 (ECDSA Curve P-256 with SHA-256): Compact 64-byte signatures and 64-byte public keys, offering equivalent cryptographic strength to 3072-bit RSA with negligible packet amplification.
- Algorithm 15 (Ed25519 / Edwards-curve Digital Signature): State-of-the-art verification speed, deterministic signatures without side-channel hazards, and minimal bandwidth consumption per RFC 8080.
The Endpoint Lab Telemetry Engine Architecture
Endpoint Lab develops lightweight, POSIX-compliant diagnostic daemons designed to run headless on minimal VPS droplets and edge devices (sub-40MB RAM footprint). The engine injects synthetic network partition events (packet drops, latency jitter, and socket truncation) to continuously benchmark resolver recovery, streaming metrics directly to standard Prometheus endpoints.
