# DNSSEC keys

With [Foundation DNS](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/foundation-dns/), you can request that the ZSK/KSK pair that is used for [DNSSEC](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/dnssec/) is unique to your Cloudflare account. To opt in to this feature, contact your account team.

All zones within your Cloudflare account - regardless of using [standard](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/nameservers/#standard-nameservers) or [advanced nameservers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/foundation-dns/advanced-nameservers/) \- will use the dedicated Zone Signing Key (ZSK) and Key Signing Key (KSK) for DNSSEC. These keys are set at the account level.
