DNSSEC testbed now available to registrars

EURid is pleased to announce that all .eu accredited registrars now have access to a .eu DNSSEC testbed.

Providing this access is the first step in .eu support for Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), a protocol that is intended to make the domain name system more secure.
The testbed will help EURid understand the technical demands of running the NSEC3 version of DNSSEC in combination with dynamic updates.
It will also help the registry evaluate response times and measure the performance of zone file generation in the specific .eu environment.
Finally, it will help EURid learn more about certain administrative processes required by DNSSEC. That includes the recalculation of signatures during a process which is known as key roll over.
“We want to work closely with our registrars to find out the best way to launch DNSSEC together to benefit .eu users,” comments Marc Van Wesemael, EURid General Manager. “At this time, few top-level domain registries offer DNSSEC support. We encourage all in the community to help Internet users by embracing DNSSEC.”
