Domain safety requires you to take a few extra precautions to keep you and your website in business!

Domain Theft

Hijackers will often use identity theft as a way to trick the domain registrar into allowing the hijacker to change the registration information, stealing ownership of the domain.
Some hijack cases that aren't settled right away will turn into lengthy lawsuits, which don't always end up as hoped.
Once a domain is hacked, anything can be done with it, including changing the actual domain name, and redirecting all traffic from that website.

Hijack Prevention

Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) is a protocol designed to use authorization codes as a security measure to prevent unauthorized actions.
Most top-level domains (.com, .gov, .us, etc) use EPP to ensure security to your domain.

Trademarks

Trademarks are indicators that uniquely identify the source of it's products and/or services to consumers.
Protect your logos, company, images etc. with the proper trade marking to prevent infringement.

Watermarking

Digital watermarking is a technique which allows an individual to add hidden copyright notices or other verification messages to digital audio, video, or image signals and documents.
Visual Watermarks are visible for enhanced copyright protection and can be used to mark materials for ownership.
Invisible watermarking can brand your web pages, or other copyrighted material and help prevent unauthorized publication or duplication. Invisible watermarks are otherwise termed Steganography.

Steganography

Steganography (or - Stego) is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the sender and intended recipient even realizes there is a hidden message.
- Often, Steganography uses messages imbedded in graphic images, and the message contained as hidden streams of text within the picture are not discernable from the viewpoint of most computers.

Cryptography

By contrast, cryptography obscures the meaning of a message, but it does not conceal the fact that there is a message.
Chaffing and winnowing is a cryptographic technique used to achieve confidentiality without using encryption when sending data over an insecure channel

Confidentiality

Confidentiality has been defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as "ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to have access" and is one of the cornerstones of Information security.

Confidentiality is one of the design goals for many cryptosystems, made possible in practice by the techniques of modern cryptography.
