[ga] Progress of DNSSEC?: Can .gov trust .com?

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

All,

  
See:http://gcn.com/Articles/2010/06/07/DNSSEC-Update.aspx?s=gcndaily_070610&Page=1

Our < INEGroup's > comments in response were as follows:

  We are glad to see DNSSEC progressing even if it means 
that some Domains and/or TLD's are not yet fully capable.  What 
bothers us is that some organizations have had DNSSEC implemented 
for some years now and uses much stronger domain keys that the 
NIST standard currently calls for simply because 256k is far 
too weak as 1024k has already been broken by the University of 
Michigan, and as such the security that the current DNSSEC 
implimentation NIST set standard will from the beginning offer 
little protection for a ver short period of time accordingly.

P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
