Root DNS Zone Now DNSSEC Signed

Posted by timothy on from the signing-of-the-times dept.

r00tyroot writes with news that slipped by yesterday, quoting from the Internet Systems Consortium's release: "ISC joined other key participants of the Internet technical community in celebrating the achievement of a significant milestone for the Domain Name System today as the root zone was digitally signed for the first time. This marked the deployment of the DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) at the top level of the DNS hierarchy and ushers the way forward for further roll-out of DNSSEC in the top level domains and DNS Service Providers."

    I don't know who else to go to but my nerd friends on Slashdot. I'm in so much emotional pain and I want to die. I'm in tears and I don't think I can take this anymore.
