New DNSSEC Deployment Maps Available

2013-09-09-2013-09-09Curious to see where DNSSEC is being deployed around the world? I’m pleased to note that we’ve updated the DNSSEC deployment maps we have available at:

http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/dnssec/maps/

These maps are produced by the team at Shinkuro, Inc.  The data on the map should line up with other sources of DNSSEC statistics, such as ICANN’s TLD DNSSEC Report, although the Shinkuro maps do reflect additional information about planned deployments gathered from industry sources and ccTLD operators.

Note that these maps represent signed top-level domains (TLDs), which you need before you can sign your domain using a registrar and DNS hosting provider.  Additional sites with statistics about the number of signed domains under various TLDs can be found on our DNSSEC statistics page.

We’re pleased to see the continued growth of DNSSEC around the world.  Have you signed your domain and/or set up DNSSEC validation yet?  If not, how can we help you get started?
