aside from just getting some cctlds signed, i will be interested in the tools, usability, work flow, ... i.e. what is it like for a poor innocent cctld which wants to sign their zone?

If there is sufficient interest, we could do a bar bof to describe some of the tools IANA has...

The tools that Sparta developed (and made freely available via an open source packaged that is BSD licensed) can be found at http://www.dnssec-tools.org/ . In particular, signing a zone is

yup, and that's helpful stuff.

Great, we're trying to provide tools that will help with the deployment and operation of DNSSEC. We also try to keep a listing of all the 'pieces' that we know about that could be helpful to folks who want to deploy and use DNSSEC in various ways whether they are operating a signed zone, running a validating resolver or wanting DNSSEC-aware applications. The url for the listing is: http://www.dnssec-deployment.org/tracker We provide the listing as community resource and try to keep it reasonably current. But we are always on the lookout for additional information (& corrections) to the list - if you have any, please let me know. ------------->snip<--------------

All for free. Don't you hate those ??biased??, freely-available, source-code-supplied-so-you-can-change-it, BSD-licensed open source packages? --

I like free... as long as it's the hammer I need for the nails I have.

We don't try to keep track of things in the listing by whether they or free or not but I know a lot of them have typical open source type of licenses. Russ
