IEDR Deploy DNSSEC for .ie
IEDR have announced the deployment of DNS security extensions (DNSSEC) for the .ie ccTLD. This protocol will enable service providers to offer additional security for DNS transactions for .ie domain holders, their customers and the internet at large. DNSSEC provides data origin authentication and data integrity verification to the global domain name system through the use of public key cryptographic signatures. It prevents many potential attack vectors via the unsecured DNS.

More than 2,000 participants are currently gathering in Busan (South Korea) to hammer out numerous resolutions (see matrix by Internet Society) that will seal the future of both the ITU and presumably “the Internet”.

Discussions on the resolutions are to be finalised this weekend, the PP-14 will end on 7 November (tweets, live Webcasts, CENTR blog post and a CENTR Paper).
