Legger ved abstract så man kan lese litt mer om oppgaven: Since the birth of the DNS protocol in the 1980s, the Internet has become increasingly popular amongst users; thus, the need for genuine security has increased. The thesis provides a thorough overview of DNS and its security successor DNSSEC, which helps secure the connections between peers through an added layer of authentication. These two protocols collectively make computer interactions possible, where DNS is responsible for mapping IP addresses to human-readable domain names and contrariwise. The research is based on a dataset of collected domain names belonging to universities and university colleges from the region of Scandinavia and presents vital information regarding the security of these domains. A detailed analysis of the higher education domains is undertaken, highlighting that the vast majority of the domains within Scandinavian higher education do not enforce DNSSEC. Out of all the domains, approximately 20\% utilize DNSSEC for their authentication method. Additionally, a detailed overview of the DNSSEC deployment rates within Scandinavia is presented, and an analysis regarding how the cryptographic method is utilized for the DNS interaction. Using the dataset with collected domain names, other relevant and distinguished factors are presented and analyzed, which cast light on the prevalence among universities. The research concludes with several suggestions regarding other applications within DNS gathering and how they can be expanded geographically to include additional domains.
