The initiative promises to create research and training opportunities for AU graduates, while providing current
students and researchers access to valuable datasets for research and development purposes — supporting their
growth in analytical and technical skills.

The project addresses a major global challenge related to the implementation of DNSSEC, a protocol strongly
advocated by global Internet bodies like ICANN and IETF for securing the DNS ecosystem. In the adoption of
DNSSEC protocol, one of the main obstacles has been the lack of visibility into global adoption and
implementation gaps.

Through the newly developed system, Ajman University seeks to bridge that gap by monitoring and analyzing
DNSSEC adoption across Internet domain names worldwide.

This project reflects Ajman University’s strong commitment to leveraging scientific research in service of global
challenges and underscores its active role in building secure and sustainable digital infrastructure that benefits
academic and technical communities both locally and globally.
