Whackiness, predictably, ensues: https://medium.com/editors-picks/46b47d95b957 You can do the math how this might affect you, your services, and your users, if you have those.

Is the FBI's DNSSEC broken?

I don't claim to be a big DNSSEC expert, but this looks just plain wrong to me, and unbound agrees, turning it into a SERVFAIL.

It would depend on Cybera being open to the idea, which starts off with a reevaluation of the following "not-for-profit acting as an ISP of last resort" strategy: http://www.cybera.ca/strategic-projects/internet-buying-group http://www.cybera.ca/strategic-projects/peering/ http://www.cybera.ca/membership/membership-structure/ In Canada, the other collision preventing exchanges from showing up is the CANARIE content peering model, which by providing free content access to schools and such takes many (young bandwidth hungry) eyeballs out of the equation for IX development and growth: http://www.canarie.ca/en/cds/policy http://www.canarie.ca/en/cds/cds_content_providers Time for change?

DNSSEC would have deployed in 2003 with the DNS ATLAS upgrade had the IETF followed the clear consensus of the DNSEXT working group and approved the OPT-IN proposal. The code was written and ready to deploy. I told the IESG and the IAB that the VeriSign position was no bluff and that if OPT-IN did not get approved there would be no deployment in .com. A business is not going to spend $100million on deployment of a feature that has no proven market demand when the same job can be done for $5 million with only minor changes. And this is exactly why there is no real security on the Internet. Because the IETF and standards committees and working groups are all in reality political fiefdoms and technological monopolies aimed at lining the pockets of a select few companies deemed "worthy" of authenticating user documentation for purposes of establishing online credibility. There is no reason for any of this, and I would once again cite to Bitcoin as an example of how an entire secure online currency standard can be created and maintained in a decentralized fashion without the need for complex hierarchies of quasi-political commercial interests. Encrypting SMTP is trivial, it's all about the standard to make it happen. Encrypting IPv6 was initially a mandatory part of the spec, but then it somehow became discretionary. The nuts and bolts of strong crypto have been around for decades, but the IETF and related standards "powers to be" are more interested in creating a global police state than guaranteeing some semblance of confidential and privacy for Internet users. _______________________________________________ The cryptography mailing list cryptography(a)metzdowd.com http://www.metzdowd.com/mailman/listinfo/cryptography ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://ativel.com http://postbiota.org AC894EC5: 38A5 5F46 A4FF 59B8 336B 47EE F46E 3489 AC89 4EC5

Actually Roland is right when he says: > If folks are unhappy with the current state of affairs, they ought to concentrate on writing laws, not code. Randy is being his usual self and playing devils advocate, which is fine, but doesn't move the ball (or is simply self-serving). In any event, we *all* need to raise our game, because we are not as clever as we think we are. - ferg On 9/8/2013 1:12 AM, Dobbins, Roland wrote: > On Sep 8, 2013, at 2:58 PM, Randy Bush wrote: > >> >cool. then i presume you will continue to run using rc4 and rsa 1024. > The point is that no matter what crypto algorithms are developed and implemented, it's generally trivial for authorized (for whatever value of 'authorized' applies in a given situation) entities to obviate them by simply compromising the endpoints under color of law, if nothing else. > > If folks are unhappy with the current state of affairs, they ought to concentrate on writing laws, not code. -- Paul Ferguson Vice President, Threat Intelligence Internet Identity, Tacoma, Washington USA IID --> "Connect and Collaborate" --> www.internetidentity.com
