Good News Friday: DNSSEC for .com and .net in 2011

by John Pescatore  |  February 27, 2009  |  1 Comment

I’ve decided that Friday blog posts should be all unicorns and rainbows – there’s enough depressing economic news out each week to ruin all of our weekends. So, from now on only positive security blog thoughts on Fridays. If I don’t post on Friday, it is because I’m following Thumper’s advice to Bambi…

In a statement to Network World, Verisign said that in around 24 months from now it will complete rolling out DNSSEC across the top level domains, like .net and .com, that Verisign operates. Having the root zone and .com signed will be a very nice step forward. There are still a lot of client side issues and other snags to deal with, so 2 years may be optimistic for full coverage but if the sooner it gets started, the better.
