# DNSSEC object

## Description

This object is part of the domain and is used to transfer the DNSSEC key material to the registry. Transferring the key material to the registry is only necessary if you sign the zone yourself. With the value "False" you can remove the key material from the registry.

Please note that DNSSEC cannot be used with all our name servers.
