Government Begins Securing Root Zone File 198
Death Metal notes a Wired piece on the US government beginning the process of securing the root zone file. This is in service of implementing DNSSEC, without which the DNS security hole found by Dan Kaminsky can't be definitively closed. On Thursday morning, a comment period will open on the various proposals on who should hold the keys and sign the root — ICANN, Verisign, or the US government's NTIA.

One key for Google flying oh so high,
One for Apple for without it fans would moan,
One for IBM what are based in Armonk, NY,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie.
One Key to rule them all, One Key to find them,
One Key to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie.
