About this tool

Any53 DNSSEC Validator performs iterative DNSSEC validation from the root zone down to your target domain. Unlike a recursive resolver that simply gives you a pass/fail, this tool shows you exactly what's happening at each step:

  • Zone discovery - Identifies actual zone cuts (delegation points) in the DNS hierarchy
  • DNSKEY verification - Fetches and cryptographically verifies DNSKEY records at each zone
  • DS chain validation - Verifies that each zone's KSK matches the DS record in its parent zone
  • Signature validation - Checks RRSIG validity periods and cryptographic signatures
  • RDAP verification - Compares DS records from DNS against the registry database via RDAP
  • CNAME following - Automatically validates CNAME target chains

Validation results: secure (full chain verified), insecure (zone not signed), bogus (validation failed), indeterminate (could not determine).
