			<description><![CDATA[Security experts and leading vendors are urging the U.S. federal government for the rapid adoption of DNSSEC and signing of the root zone. In recent weeks, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has received 30-plus comments in favor of securing DNS root zone data. These comments are from the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) and the Internet Society as well as ISPs and domain name operators such as PayPal, Akamai Technologies, NeuStar, Comcast and Afilias. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/feds_urged_to_deploy_dnssec/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>IETF Debates DNS Security: Fix It or Push for DNSSEC</title>
			<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.circleid.com/posts/ietf_debates_dns_security_dnssec/</guid>
			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/ietf_debates_dns_security_dnssec/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The Internet engineering community is grappling with what to do about a serious flaw in the DNS discovered this summer, and the ongoing debate brings to mind a famous quotation from Voltaire: "The perfect is the enemy of the good." At issue is whether the group should use its resources to encourage DNS registries, ISPs and enterprises to upgrade to the ultimate DNS security solution known as DNSSEC; or whether it should tweak the DNS protocols to address the so-called 'Kaminsky bug' as an interim step. The issue is being debated at a meeting of the IETF, the Internet's leading standards body, being held here this week. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/ietf_debates_dns_security_dnssec/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>Despite Baffling Delays in DNSSEC, Wide&#45;Spread Adoption Close, Says DNS Inventor Paul Mockapetris</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/dnssec_adoption_close_says_mockapetris/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Flaws in the current DNS system, most notably the Kaminsky Vulnerability publicly exposed in July 2008, have left Internet uses exposed to potential attacks. DNS inventor Dr. Paul Mockapetris, chief scientist and chairman of IP address infrastructure software provider Nominum, points out that the DNSSEC has been under development for 15 years and the adoption remains low with only Sweden and Puerto Rico signing up to the system. "It baffles me," Mockapetris said of the delay. "On the one hand I'm never baffled by how long standards processes take, but 15 years sounds like a lot to me. I think we've lost 10 years of progress with DNS technology due to this stupid food fight around DNSSEC. We've been at it for 10 years, I think there's five years of good work there." <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/dnssec_adoption_close_says_mockapetris/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[At ICANN's meeting in Egypt last week, I had the opportunity to try and explain to various non-technical audiences why the Domain Name System (DNS) is vulnerable to attack, and why that is important, without needing a computer science degree to understand it. Here is the summary. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081113_why_dns_broken_in_plain_english/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Working in the anti-spam and online malware fight can be depressing or at best invoke multiple personality disorder. We all know things are bad on the net, but if you want a dose of stark reality, check out Brian Kreb's fantastic 'Security Fix' blog on the <em>Washington Post</em> site... Speaking to an old friend who asked me what I was doing these days, I recently likened the fight against this relentless onslaught to having one's pinky in a dyke, and there are days when I don't even think we have a dyke! <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081113_reality_of_spam_online_security/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is soliciting comments on signing the DNSSEC root. Ignore the caption on the page: this is not about DNSSEC deployment, which is already happening just fine. It's about who gets to sign the root zone. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081113_proposal_signing_dnssec_root_zone/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>One in Four DNS Servers Still Unpatched for The Kaminsky Vulnerability, Says New Worldwide Study</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081110_one_in_four_dns_servers_still_unpatched/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[One in four DNS servers are still vulnerable to the Kaminsky flaw, according an annual survey of DNS servers conducted by network services vendor Infoblox and Internet testing and measurement group, The Measurement Factory. "Given the heightened awareness of DNS server vulnerabilities due to the recent Kaminsky discovery, it is surprising to see how many organizations are still leaving their DNS systems as potential victims of attack," said Cricket Liu, Vice President of Architecture at Infoblox and author of O'Reilly & Associates' DNS and BIND, DNS & BIND Cookbook, and DNS on Windows Server 2003. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081110_one_in_four_dns_servers_still_unpatched/">More...</a>]]></description>

A few of the hot topics of discussion that we are following are the applications process for new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs), Registry/Registrar Cross Ownership, and restructuring of the ICANN Board. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081106_whats_going_on_icann_in_cairo/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Alternate DNS root server, the Open Root Server Network (ORSN) is shutting down. The project which began almost six years ago, is set to close at midnight on the last day of 2008. The following is part of the official statement released for the closure: Since start of operation in 2002 ORSN was a political alternative to ICANN/IANA operated root server network. It was also well known for technical innovation by providing IPv6 support before it was introduced in the ICANN/IANA operated root servers..." <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081028_open_root_server_network_closure/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A <a href="http://www.mailbucket.org/ip-9325612.html">message on Dave Farber's Interesting People list</a> complained that Comcast was blocking mail forwarded by DynDNS, a popular provider of DNS and related services for small-scale users... Actually, they're blocking it because a lot of it is spam. This is a problem that every mail forwarder and every mail system encounters; the only unusual thing here is that DynDNS is whining about it. It's yet another way that spammers have broken the mail for the rest of us. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081015_forwarded_spam/">More...</a>]]></description>
