Domain Name Security Paper Released.
ICANN's strategic and operating plans call for ICANN to be operationally ready to deploy DNSSEC at the root level and work with relevant stakeholders to determine how this should be implemented. ICANN has prepared a document describing this path to operational readiness for signing the root, which you can download in PDF format [342k].
The purpose of this paper is to:
a) Articulate ICANN's initiatives toward operational readiness for DNSSEC signing; and
b) Help determine the right structure so ICANN is prepared to digitally sign the root using DNSSEC technology by late 2008.
A public forum has been established at http://forum.icann.org/lists/dnssec-roadmap/ and ICANN actively seeks your input on this important matter.
In addition, recently two DNS vulnerabilities to many DNS name server developers have been reported by a prominent security researcher. DNSSEC would be a solution to this vulnerabilities.
Head-on to the ICANN forum and shoot your comments or email it to dnssec-roadmap@icann.org.

"It is an opportunity for us to give every customer of ours a card. It is a connection to the customer," Rathnayaka said.
"We can tie this card to many other opportunities around we can give him other offers. There is a whole load of things we can do with this."
The registration process can be completed at any of the 30 Tigo offices islandwide.
