DUBLIN, IRELAND - 2 June 2009 - Afilias, a global provider of Internet infrastructure services and domain name registry technology, today announced that it has successfully signed the .ORG zone with Domain Name Security Extensions (DNSSEC) on behalf of its customer, .ORG, The Public Interest Registry (PIR).  The .ORG zone is being signed in a phased manner with an initial period allowing for key partners to test the signed zone.

DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) was first introduced in the mid-1990s as an additional security measure to protect the DNS from cache poisoning exploits (recently referred to as the Kaminsky bug) which can allow a bad actor to get in the middle of an Internet users’ request to access a Web site without their knowledge. DNSSEC introduces digital signatures to the DNS infrastructure and can provide users with effective verification that their applications, such as Web or email, are using the correct addresses for servers they want to reach.

DNSSEC is the best approach to secure your DNS infrastructure and protect visitors to your Web site from unknowingly being victimized by bad actors.  Current efforts to deploy DNSSEC globally have been slowed by the complexity of implementation.
