[ga] DNSSEC Deployed on Top-Level .gov Domain

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Obviously the ALAC is not up to snuff, so in the interest of keeping
on point and up to proper relevant development information the following

should be considered as a milestone.  Now if ICANN can by some
divine intervention get the rest of the Legacy Root servers up to snuff
we all will be a bit better off.  But don't hold your breath.  Seems
this
time, a rarity, Uncle Sam beat private industry to the punch.  Uncle Sam
1,
ICANN/SSAC/private industry 0.

(March 5, 2009)
The US General Services Administration (GSA) has announced that as of
February 28, 2009, DNSSEC (Doman Name System Security Extensions) is
operational on the top-level .gov domain.  The implementation became
official one month after the January deadline, which the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) established last August.  The extension was
required because the testing process revealed the need for an additional

feature in the software being used.  DNSSEC allows "DNS queries and
responses [to] be digitally signed so they can be authenticated and are
harder to spoof or manipulate."
