But, in a DNSSEC environment, IANA performs two roles:

the authoritative root zone file

Nope. Just to clarify things:
IANA (well, ICANN as the IANA functions operator) receives and
validates root zone changes.
VeriSign constructs and publishes the root zone to the root server
operators.
In the context of DNSSEC, as documented at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-03jun09-en.htm
, VeriSign will have operational responsibility for the zone signing
key and ICANN will manage the key signing process.
