.ORG Zone Signed With DNSSEC
lothos and several other readers let us know that the Public Interest Registry has announced the key-signing key to validate the signatures on the ORG zone. A few more details are on the PIR DNSSEC page. PC World interviewed PIR CEO Alexa Raad and writes: "On June 2, PIR will announce that it is signing the .org domain with NSEC3 and that it has begun testing DNSSEC with a handful of registrars using first fake and then real .org names. PIR plans to keep expanding its testing over the next few months until the registry is ready to support DNSSEC for all .org domain name operators. Raad says she expects full-blown DNSSEC deployment on the .org domain in 2010."
using first fake and than real .org names.
o.O - A small typo I know, but it's of the super irritating variety.
Americans don't own the Internet! They just own all the Internet names! It's a big difference!
I completely agree that we need something not centralized. In fact, I'm actually in the planning stages of an entire decentralized system to possibly replace the web. I know, I know...ambitious goals. But I am convinced that the concept could work.
The idea is essentially to create a decentralized web of trust, and have nodes on the network find each other by asking other nodes. One of the advantages is that it abstracts the underlying IP addresses that are used to identify network devices into something that can be extensible once IP addresses become infeasible (for example, in mobile devices whose subnets keep changing).
If you were a real geek, you would just memorize the proper IPv6 addresses..
What are we going to do tonight Brain?
