Experts Tell Feds To Sign the DNS Root ASAP

Posted by kdawson on from the digital-john-hancock dept.

alphadogg sends along news that the US National Telecommunications and Information Administration has gotten plenty of feedback on its call for comments on securing the root zone using DNSSEC. The comment period closed yesterday, and more than 30 network and security experts urged the NTIA to implement DNSSEC stat. There were a couple of dissenting voices and a couple of trolls.

    Are you troubled by DNS cache poisoning...well don't worry!

    I wrote a song about it!

    Your domain will be safe,
    You'll be well on your way
    With DNS-SEC security!

    Signing is a breeze,
    Bring hackers to their knees
    With DNS-SEC security!

    I know you're grown attached to old
    Ways of doing things
    But when you update BIND
    Your heart will race to sing!

    DNS-SEC implementation
    Put the spammers on permanent vacation
    DNS-SEC implementation
    I hear it's got great documentation!

    Bind me, baby!

    Well, the U.S. owns the internet, right? We should just pass a law for IPv6.
