			<description><![CDATA[Despite security advances over the past year, including the increased deployment of DNSSEC, pirates continue to wreak havoc on the Internet. But before you decide that Internet security innovations are futile, consider this: online criminals are just like burglars in the physical world; they don't take new ways of blocking their best efforts lying down. They come up with new and, in some cases, stronger plans of attack. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20121207_2012_global_phishing_trends_uptime_down_numbers_up">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Like many of us in the technology industry, I am captivated by the growing adoption of mobile. It's changing multiple industries at a pace that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago. And my own interest accelerated when Afilias acquired another Irish company named dotMobi. ...since a mobile domain is not useful without mobile sites, dotMobi developed a site-building tool called goMobi that is used globally by hundreds of thousands of site owners. Because of that, we have unique information about who is using the mobile Web, and how they're using it. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120813_mobile_users_now_and_in_the_future_a_snapshot">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As regular readers know, ICANN holds lengthy, in-depth discussions devoted to DNSSEC at each of its three annual meetings. The half-day session held at ICANN 43 in Costa Rica last month was particularly interesting. What became clear is that the industry is quickly moving into the end-user adoption phase of global DNSSEC deployment. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120405_slowly_cracking_the_dnssec_code_at_icann_43">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[On January 18, 2012, Comcast customers found they could not access the NASA.gov website. Some users assumed that Comcast was deliberately blocking the website or that NASA, like Wikipedia and Reddit, was participating in the "blackout" protests against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) going on that day. As it turned out, the truth was much less exciting, but it offers important lessons about DNSSEC. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120322_nasa_teething_troubles_teach_a_dnssec_lesson">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20111130_dnssec_update_from_icann_42_in_dakar</link>
			<description><![CDATA[While the global rollout of DNSSEC continues at the domain name registry level - with more than 25% of top-level domains now signed - the industry continues to focus on the problem of registrar, ISP and ultimately end-user adoption. At the ICANN meeting in Dakar in late October, engineers from some of the early-adopting registries gathered for their regular face-to-face discussion about how to break the "chicken or egg" problems of secure domain name deployment. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20111130_dnssec_update_from_icann_42_in_dakar">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Internet is slowly beginning to adopt the new DNSSEC domain names standard, but significant challenges remain. That was the main takeaway from a four-hour workshop on the technology held during the recent ICANN 41 public meeting in Singapore, which heard from many domain registries, registrars and other infrastructure providers. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110729_dnssec_baby_steps_reported_at_icann_41">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title> Beyond the Top Level: DNSSEC Deployment at ICANN 40 (Featured Blog)</title>
			<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110412_beyond_the_top_level_dnssec_deployment_at_icann_40</guid>
			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110412_beyond_the_top_level_dnssec_deployment_at_icann_40</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I recently wrote about the encouraging level of DNSSEC adoption among top-level domain name registries, and noted that adoption at the second level and in applications is an important next step for adding more security to the DNS. The root and approximately 20 percent of the top level domains are now signed; it is time for registrars and recursive DNS servers operated by the ISPs to occupy center stage. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110412_beyond_the_top_level_dnssec_deployment_at_icann_40">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Less than nine months after the DNS root was signed, the rollout of DNSSEC across the Internet's top-level domains is approaching the tipping point. Thanks to the combined efforts of registries around the world, the new security protocol will soon be available to the majority of domain name registrants in almost a quarter of all TLDs. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110321_dnssec_deployment_reaching_critical_mass">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[DNSSEC is being rolled out quickly in top-level domain registries around the world, but there's still some way to go to encourage other Internet stakeholders to adopt the new security technology. That was one of the key takeaways from a day-long, comprehensive session on Domain Name System Security Extensions implementation worldwide, held during ICANN's public meeting in Cartagena, Colombia, last week. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20101217_industry_makes_rapid_progress_on_dnssec">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20100929_will_us_government_directives_spur_ipv6_adoption</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration of the U.S. government hosted a workshop discussing the state of IPv6 in the United States and its impact on industry, government, and the Internet economy. I was asked to be a panelist, along with industry executives from ARIN, ISOC, ICANN, Comcast, Akamai, Verizon, Google, VeriSign, DOE, NIST, and DREN. Moderated by Aneesh Chopra, Chief Technology Officer of the United States and Vivek Kundra, Chief Information Officer of the United States, this was the first event in the past few years to truly shine a spotlight on IPv6 adoption (or lack thereof) and introduce key directives to move this issue forward. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20100929_will_us_government_directives_spur_ipv6_adoption">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If the rise of phishing has taught us anything, it's that on the Internet, if a digital asset has value, there's somebody out there who wants to steal it. Whether it's a bank account password, a credit card number, a PayPal login, or even a magic sword in an online game, there's a fraudster somewhere trying to misappropriate it for his or her own nefarious purposes. Domain names have always been a target for such criminals. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/three_things_registrars_must_do_to_enhance_security">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title> July 2010: The End of the Beginning for DNSSEC (Featured Blog)</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20100716_july_2010_the_end_of_the_beginning_for_dnssec</link>
			<description><![CDATA[July 15, 2010 (yesterday) marked the end of the beginning for DNSSEC, as the DNS root was cryptographically signed. For nearly two decades, security researchers, academics and Internet leaders have worked to develop and deploy Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC). DNSSEC was developed to improve the overall security of the DNS, a need which was dramatized by the discovery of the Kaminsky bug a few years ago. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20100716_july_2010_the_end_of_the_beginning_for_dnssec">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The deployment of Domain Security Extensions (DNSSEC) has crossed another milestone this month with the publication of DURZ (deliberately unvalidatable root zone) in all DNS root servers on 5 May 2010. While this change was virtually invisible to most Internet users, this event and the remaining testing that will occur over these next two months will dictate the ultimate success of DNSSEC deployment across the Internet. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20100517_more_stepping_stones_before_this_summers_seminal_dnssec_events">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title> DNSSEC No Longer Pie-in-the-Sky: Time to Develop a Strategy (Featured Blog)</title>

			<description><![CDATA[You may have seen media reports a few weeks ago describing how servers behind the so-called Great Firewall of China were found delivering incorrect DNS information to users in the rest of the world, thereby redirecting users to edited Web pages. Reports indicate that this apparently occurred due to a caching error by a single Internet Service Provider. While the problem was fairly limited in scope, it could have entirely been prevented in a world where DNSSEC was fully deployed. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20100414_dnssec_no_longer_pie_in_the_sky_time_to_develop_a_strategy">More...</a>]]></description>
