- tptacek 8y agoOh, I forgot; I made a helpful infographic for this last week: https://twitter.com/tqbf/status/1086061495811743747 https://twitter.com/tqbf/status/1086061495811743747
- ietf-dane 8y agoYawn, would you also like to arm wrestle? I concede that smug superiority gets more karma points than doing the hard work to make a difference. Yes, only ~9 to 10 million domains are presently signed, and most of the larger ones are not (but comcast.net and cloudflare.com are not tiny, and gmx.de has over 10 million email users). Changing this takes time and effort. Users still need better software tools that make deployment easier and there needs to be less KSK deployment and rollover friction at the registrars and registries (i.e. CDS support). Some DNS hosting providers with outdated software need to upgrade their stacks, ... this does not happen overnight. Let's compare notes in 2020 or 2021. Infrastructure upgrades happen slowly...
- tptacek 8y agoCloudflare sells DNSSEC services. Comcast is actively participating in standards that moot the most (or second most) important modern application of DNSSEC. You keep talking about 9-10 million domains "presently signed", but, as I keep pointing out, those were signed at registrars and are overwhelmingly irrelevant zones. The point of the infographic is that zones people actually care about --- not coincidentally, zones with giant, smart security teams --- resolutely avoid DNSSEC.
