> Leslie Daigle, chief Internet technical officer for the Internet Society,
> said, "We're excited to see this capstone element of DNSSEC deployment put
> in place. It signals a new era for operational security of the Internet, and
> we look forward to new levels of user confidence in network activities using
> DNSSEC and the services built out from it."
>
> DNSSEC allows users to have more confidence in the online activities that
> are increasingly becoming a part of our lives at work, home, and school by
> acting like tamper-proof packaging for domain name data. For example, it
> ensures that a website name typed into a browser delivers the intended
> server IP address. DNSSEC also provides a platform for future innovations to
> further enhance user confidence in Internet-based services.
>
> DNSSEC technology used today is the result of careful protocol engineering
> and standardisation within the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the
> premier Internet standards body in the world; implementation by various DNS
> vendors; and operational trials by DNS operators.
>
> Through the efforts of the Public Interest Registry, the entire .ORG
> top-level domain recently became the first top-level generic domain to
> implement DNSSEC. ). The Internet Society was among the first organisations
> in the .ORG top level domain to deploy DNSSEC for its ISOC.org and
> InternetSociety.org domains. DNSSEC is also currently implemented by several
> country-specific top-level domains: Brazil (.br), Bulgaria (.bg), Czech
> Republic (.cz), Puerto Rico (.pr), and Sweden (.se).
