Applying Advanced Protocols

Using the virtual environment created and modified in Topics 1 and 2, enable IPsec and DNSSEC to enhance the protection of the domain. IPsec is a framework that provides network-based authentication and confidentially between servers via a set of standards, while DNSSEC is a set of extensions that provide integrity to the DNS server to aid in the deterring attackers from hijacking the DNS process. This assignment will provide an exercise in the implementation of IPsec and DNSSEC that is used in today's corporate infrastructures. Using your primary domain controller (e.g., ITT430-ASB1), conduct the following procedures in the resource "ITT-430 IPSec & DNSSEC Implementation Instructions." After completing the procedures, attach the appropriate screenshots into a single MS Word document and complete the following tasks. Write a two-page summary explaining the purpose of IPsec (including the various modes, IKE, ESP vs AH, Windows firewall integration, and IPv6) and DNSSEC (relationship to PKI, DNS Zones, and trust anchors). Briefly describe what you accomplished from the procedures supplied, and how these protocols enhance the security of servers. Provide references to recent articles (less than a year old) that demonstrate the use and benefits of an organization that has implemented IPsec and DNSSEC. Submit the summary with required screenshots. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
