New IAB Chair Defends DNSSEC

bednarz writes "Olaf Kolkman, the new chair of the Internet Architecture Board, says that DNSSEC — an approach to authenticating DNS traffic that has been slow to take off — is not a failure. 'It is taking a while to percolate into software, and for that software to percolate into the market, and for people to adapt their environments to deploy and operate DNSSEC. The deployment is hindered by a chicken-and-egg problem'."

Personal motivation?

My personal motivation to work in this space is that I want to allow my now 3- and 6-year old children to make use of the Internet based on the same core principles as I now know them.

You really want your 3- and 6-year olds to inherit the spam-ridden porn-fest we have today? That's just mean. Think of the children!

I'm with you on the spam part, but I'll defend this porn-fest til the day I die!
