🧮 NSEC3 & CDS

Authenticated denial (NSEC vs NSEC3), RFC 9276 iteration compliance and automated key rollover (CDS/CDNSKEY) · all insights

Signed zones prove that a name does not exist with NSEC or NSEC3 records. RFC 9276 recommends NSEC3 with zero extra iterations and no salt; this page measures how many .dk zones follow that, which providers don't, and who publishes CDS/CDNSKEY for automated key rollovers. Data comes from our own scanners, which re-resolve every .dk domain in the zone roughly once a week.

Based on 406,331 domains probed so far (31.1% of the zone). A domain's probe is refreshed with every full scan, and otherwise roughly every 30–35 days, so while the first pass is still filling in the numbers can shift.

🧮 NSEC3 iterations

Of 272,303 signed zones probed whose denial of existence we could see (a signed wildcard zone answers every name, so it shows none), 155,989 (57.3%) use NSEC3, 110,001 (40.4%) use a classic NSEC chain, which lets anyone list every name in the zone, and 6,313 (2.3%) use compact denial (RFC 9824, Cloudflare's "black lies"), which can't be walked. RFC 9276 asks NSEC3 zones for 0 extra iterations and no salt: iterations cost resolvers CPU for no security gain. 75,093 NSEC3 zones (48.1%) still use iterations and 75,255 use a salt; 803 use opt-out.

🔄 CDS / CDNSKEY (automated DS updates)

CDS and CDNSKEY records let a DNS operator hand key rollovers to the registry automatically (RFC 7344/8078). 99,861 of the 295,042 signed zones we asked (33.8%) publish them; 265 publish the delete signal, asking the registry to remove their DS and turn DNSSEC off.
