+    Domain Name Servers (DNS) are the Internet's equivalent of a phone book. They maintain a directory of domain names and translate them to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.

+    This is necessary because, although domain names are easy for people to remember, computers or machines, access websites based on IP addresses.

+\subsection[KSK]{Key Signing Key}
 
 The \gls{ksk} is a used to sign other keys. Thus creating a chain-of-trust.
 
-A prime example of this the current \gns{dnssec} infrastructure on the internet. Where \gls{icann} is controlling and managing the Root zone \gls{ksk} used today. And for the first time in history will do a \gls{ksk} rollover in the fall of 2017.\footnote{The 1st key was issued in 2010.}

 The \gls{ksk} is used to sign the DNS root-zone. All the TLD zones then have their own key called a \gls{zsk} used to sign all the domains requesting a key to sign their domain. The \gls{zsk} is signed by the root-zone \gls{ksk}.
