[anti-abuse-wg] IS3C public consultation on an alternative narrative to deploy Internet standards

Serge

Several ccTLD registries have given discounts for DNSSEC.

What is unclear is how many of the domains with DNSSEC enabled are in active use, so the lack of “problems” could be simply down to a complete lack of us / ignorance that the technology was enabled.

My main issue with focus on DNSSEC is that it is seen being a “good use” of resources, so small registries who should invest in other things that are fundamentally more important feel obliged to enable it. There’s also the entire “I’ve got DNSSEC so now my domain / site / service is secure” belief. Much like people who think that smacking an SSL cert on their site magically renders it secure.

Regards

Michele

Not if it's done properly, i.e. by the hosting providers. Should your
aunt or uncle do it? Probably not.

Since SWITCH gives registrars a discount if they sign, the number has
risen dramatically, without any problems:
