This ultimate master key would then allow authorities to track DNS Security Extensions (DNSSec) all the way back to the servers that represent the name system's root zone on the Internet. ... At the ICANN meeting, Turcotte said that the managers of country registries were concerned about this proposal. When contacted by heise online, Turcotte said that the national registries had informed their governmental representatives about the DHS's plans. http://www.heise.de/english/newsticker/news/87655 // END QUOTE // This is not something I "chopped" together for spite, this is what I've read and am reading. So when experts from ICANN, the security world (Schneier) and others take a quick step back and questioned this, I read more into it. ... // QUOTE // The issue of who holds signing keys has until recently been pretty much an academic one. ... But that might be changing, with the U.S. government leading the way, as DNSSEC becomes a requirement under the Federal Information Security Management Act. http://www.gcn.com/online/vol1_no1/43443-1.html // END QUOTE // So now I ask, on the DHS' Cyber Security Research paper, how should I infer the following comment: // COPIED // "Actively pursue strategies for facilitating technology tranfer and diffusion of Federally-funder R&D into coommercial product and services, and private sector use http://www.infragard.net/library/congress_05/cyber_security/cyber_security_research.ppt#266,17,Portfolio Mission and Strategic Objectives (concluded) // END COPY // Let me play devil's advocate a bit further... What if Canada, Italy or some other country was asking that I abide by something I don't agree with especially when they're trying to get ahold of something they have no control over... Should I roll over and play dead. That in itself would direct some form of control to any said country. I don't know about you but its fundamentally fraud. Now logically in accordance to the way this country has become, even less so would I give the authority to any government to direct the flow of information lest I be in a drunken stupor for 28 days(daze).
