DNSSEC Comes To .Net Zone Today

wiredmikey sends news that as of today VeriSign has enabled DNSSEC on the .net zone. This is one milestone in a years-long process of securing the DNS against cache poisoning and other attacks. Next step will be for VeriSign to sign the .com root early next year."Having DNSSEC enabled for .net domains... [is] important as it represents one of the most critical implementations of DNSSEC technology, since .net serves as the underpinning for many critical Internet functions. The largest zone to be DNSSEC enabled to date, .net currently has more than 13 million... domain name registrations worldwide."

As opposed to what? The good ol' days when editors read the articles and proof-read submissions? When men were real men, and small furry creatures, etc etc.

Has been sued almost immediately.

Looks like the lawyers of Microsoft were anticipating this move and were itching for a fight. They have sued the entire internet for infringing on their trademark .Net
