Patent ID: 11233767

Abstract:
A system for publishing a plurality of Domain Name System (DNS) records for a domain name, the system comprising: a record selection module for obtaining selected data of registry data associated with the domain name in a registry database; a DNS Security (DNSSEC) signing system having at least one signing module for digitally signing the selected data of the registry data, the digitally signing using one or more signing keys (SK) to generate a signed DNS record, the one or more signing keys associated with the registry data of the domain name; a distribution system for coordinating the publishing of a set of DNS records in the DNS by facilitating transmitting of the set of DNS records to one or more authoritative servers of the DNS in a transmission path that bypasses storing of the signed DNS record in the registry database, the set of DNS records generated based on a signing identifier on how to generate the set of DNS records by either: a) sending the selected data to the DNSSEC signing system for subsequent direct inclusion as the signed DNS record in the set of DNS records by the DNSSEC signing system using a set of generation instructions; or b) including the selected data as an unsigned DNS record in the set of DNS records by the distribution system using the set of generation instructions, wherein the transmission path also bypasses the at least one signing module of the DNSSEC signing system.
