NTIA request for feedback on DNSSEC deployment at the root zone

2008-10-09 10:05:10

Folks,

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration published a "Notice of Inquiry" entitled "Enhancing the Security and Stability of the Internet's Domain Name and Addressing System" in today's
Federal Register:

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Department) notes the increase in
interest among government, technology experts and industry
representatives regarding the deployment of Domain Name and Addressing
System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) at the root zone level. The
Department remains committed to preserving the security and stability
of the DNS and is exploring the implementation of DNSSEC in the DNS
hierarchy, including at the authoritative root zone level. Accordingly,
the Department is issuing this notice to invite comments regarding
DNSSEC implementation at the root zone.


If you have an opinion on whether DNSSEC should or should not be deployed in the root zone, I urge you to make that position known by submitting comments. Comments are due on November 24, 2008. Contact details are
included in the NOI.

The "html" version of the NOI is available at
http://frwebgate5.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate.cgi? WAISdocID=559077321003+0+0+0&WAISaction=retrieve

The PDF version is available at

There are links to a number of process flow diagrams that may interest you. (The Federal Register cannot include graphic content.) Note that you will need to tweak the provided links regardless of which version you select; there are formatting
and linewrap issues that prevent following the links automatically.

Thanks,

Tim Polk
