What this tool does not do / Limits

This tool only checks the format of DNSKEY and DS text you paste. It does not query live DNS, does not validate signatures against a zone, and cannot prove a domain is DNSSEC-signed.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool check my live domain?

No. It only reads the record text you paste, and it never contacts a DNS server.

What does well-formed mean here?

It means the fields are present and in the expected shape. It is not a cryptographic validation of the signature.
