Root DNS Zone Now DNSSEC Signed

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."

Re:Too complicated: designed by ISC for ISC?

Being overly complex doesn't prevent something from working and scaling, neither does being less complex.

Being overly complex does not preclude functioning properly, it just means that its possible that it would still function properly if it were less complex.

DNS and DNSSEC ARE overly complicated for 99.99999% of what it gets used for on a regular basis, the fact that you don't recognize that tells me you really don't have any idea what you're talking about.
