The .org domain set to sign off on largest DNSSEC implementation to date

Will join government on DNS protection; .com and .net still to follow

The Public Interest Registry, which operates the .org top-level domain, expects to complete deployment of the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) in the .org registry in June by accepting second-level signed zones.

“Dot-org is the largest of any zone to be signed to date,” said Jim Galvin, technical standards director for Afilias Ltd. of Dublin, Ireland, the registry’s back-end service provider. “The only zones larger are .com and .net, and they won’t come around until later this year.”

The .org space has more than 7.5 million domains registered in it. The .gov top-level domain has about 3,700 domains registered in it.
