“.org” domain will be the first to use DNS security extensions

This domain name news is provided from the ShangHai XingGuo Net Technology co.,Ltd

Based on the DNS vulnerability revealed on current Internet, ICANN recently made an important decision which is in line with the interests of the public, “.Org” domain names will be the first top-level domain name to use DNS Security expansion (DNSSEC) agreement.
DNS own deficiencies were first discovered in 1990, but has not been related to problem solving, as the "cache poisoning" can be an effective method of allegedly forged DNS, DNS cache servers use to achieve the purpose of hijacking Web site.
DNSSEC development in January 1997, the development cycle up to 11, DNS security extension (DNSSEC) agreement to create the objective is to solve the original DNS the loopholes in the agreement so that it no longer vulnerable to attack. But because DNSSEC will generate additional data overhead and are not universal. According to earlier agreements, if the use of DNSSEC, must be the entire Internet. Moreover, the privacy and legal aspects of the emerging concerns, so that it can not be universal.
However,. Org domain name actually is not the need to take into account domain names, but in view of a number of countries already have their own top-level domain name, it is not beyond the control of ICANN, you can simply and quickly transferred to the DNSSEC DNS from the top-level domain name only. org. But if ICANN full control of Internet access, then all domain names is not impossible. As for ICANN and the U.S. government can be trusted, it is another question.
From the transfer of “.Org”, we can see that DNS will eventually transferred to DNSSEC though slowly.
