DNS Security Protocol Gains Momentum
Secure Internet-address-lookup technology readied for .net and .com domains.
Technologists advocating better security for the domain name system (DNS) have frequently predicted that the technology would be deployed in the next two to five years. That these predictions have gone on for a decade and a half has become an inside joke in the industry.
The advocates may finally have their day. On Monday, the company that manages the .com and .net registries, VeriSign, will announce its strategy to incrementally test and deploy DNS Security (DNSSEC) by the first quarter of 2011 for the two top-level domains. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)--the organization that coordinates among owners of Internet infrastructure--has already announced that it will kick-start the process by creating the top-level key for verifying domain names on December 1.
The two fundamental steps give DNSSEC a much-needed boost, says Joe Waldron, director of product management for VeriSign.
"I think we are at an inflection point," he says. "Between now and 12 to 18 months from now, you will see a significant amount of adoption across registries, registrars, Internet service providers, and domain-name holders."
The domain-name system is a foundation on which the Internet is built. DNS servers translate easy-to-understand domain names, such as technologyreview.com, into the numerical Internet addresses used by computers and networking devices to communicate with one another. DNSSEC adds data to the domain records, inserting cryptographic information that can be used to verify that an address is a valid destination for a domain.
Yet, because DNSSEC requires changes to the servers and software that manages fundamental components of the Internet, companies and organizations have resisted adopting it.
