Common beliefs on DNSSEC are rooted in its turbulent past, and have persisted for over a decade. But how well do they reflect DNSSEC’s reality today? Fact-checking time! > This is the second article in our series on DNSSEC. Enjoy - and keep tuned for article #3 and #4! <

DNSSEC has been around for 20+ years — so why isn’t it everywhere yet? Our new piece at APNIC highlights the real blocker: complex, manual processes that make deployment harder than it should be.

Deployment of technical standards is surprisingly emotional and narrative-driven. Can’t believe it? Here you go! #DNS #DNSSEC #CircleID
THE EXCRUCIATING SLOW RISE OF DNSSEC: A DIALOGUE WITH ROY ARENDS ABOUT MYTHS, REALITIES AND HARD LESSONS — DNSSEC was meant to fix DNS, but hype, outages, and online narratives turned it into a punchline. Can fresh perspectives and automation revive trust? A dialogue between Roy Arends, a long-time DNSSEC advocate and Barbara Jantzen: circleid.com/posts/the-excru…

After making people laugh about DNSSEC at IETF 123’s pecha kucha night, I was given the opportunity, at DNS-OARC 45, to talk about why it’s not a good idea to neglect the impact of image and emotions, even when dealing with technical DNS matters: youtube.com/watch?v=3HoHF45I…

Greetings from Dublin, where we are attending #ICANN84! Very interestingly, throughout the various stakeholder bodies, there seems to be a renewed interest in taking a fresh and nuanced view on DNSSEC’s usefulness, beyond black-or-white statements. #DNSSEC #DNS

Starting with a “pre-DNS-OARC 45” workshop (together with my collegue Peter Thomassen), aiming at crafting a consensual take on DS automation guidelines. Thanks to all the participants and to #Internetstiftelsenfor providing a friendly location! #LoveDNS #OARC45 #ItsAlwaysDNS

On day 1, my colleague Peter Thomassen presented his (and Steve Shengs) draft on DS automation guidelines, amended by the results of the previous day’s workshop discussion, and aiming at getting further feedback from the DNS community. bit.ly/4nwdbGV #OARC45

On day 2, I had the opportunity to talk about how image (and not only facts) can impact the assessment of technical issues, taking DNSSEC as an example. Fun fact: I started my talk with an impersonation… risky, but worth it ;-) bit.ly/4qhNdcD #LoveDNS #OARC45 #DNSSEC

Quick call out to everyone: What do you think were pivotal moments in DNSSEC history (ones that shouldn’t be missing) and/or moments that were funny or could be staged in a funny way? Looking forward to your suggestions! #DNSSEC #DNS #ICANN #IETF
In the near future, I will create a funny (but factually accurate) Fakebook on DNSSEC history. Think of it as a fictitious Facebook wall, on which any person, institution or entity imaginable (God, the DNS, the Objective Truth) can enter the stage as a contributor or commentator.

At IETF 123, my collegue Peter also presented his new draft on DNSSEC automation guidelines. Let’s make sure that things behave consistently even across TLDs! This will pave the way for DS automation in the gTLD space. datatracker.ietf.org/meeting… #DNSSEC #DNS #ICANN #IETF
