RIPE NCC–which has been signing its own zones since 2005–this week released updated global maps showing the progress of DNSSEC deployment.  The report noted: “When the root zone has been signed in June 2010, this acted as a catalyst for TLD operators to deploy DNSSEC on their side. We have seen a gradual but significant increase in signed TLDs since then.”

The RIPE map of country code top-level domain DNSSEC deployment in Europe–one of several in the post–is shown below.  Green indicates ccTLDs that have deployed to date; yellow indicates those with plans to deploy.

Slides are now available for most of the presentations from the FOSE 2011 day-long session, The deployment diaries: DNSSEC in U.S. federal systems and beyond. Featuring a wide range of speakers from U.S. federal agencies and private-sector companies and nonprofits, the session looked at the progress toward U.S. government deployment of DNSSEC in the .gov domain, as well as deployment lessons from domains including .com, .net, .us, .uk and more. Presentations also included insights on validation, updates on DNSSEC and FISMA, advice on what to ask vendors and features of DNSSEC hardware and software solutions.
