We would rather proceed cautiously and reasonably, than continue with the roll on the announced date of 11 October,\u201d said ICANN CEO G\u00f6ran Marby. \u201cIt would be irresponsible to proceed with the roll after we have identified these new issues that could adversely affect a significant number of end users.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Changing the key involves generating a new cryptographic key pair and distributing the new public component to the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC)-validating resolvers.\u00a0 Based on the estimated number of Internet users who use DNSSEC validating resolvers, an estimated one-in-four global Internet users, or 750 million people, could be affected by the KSK rollover.<\/p>\n<p>ICANN is reaching out to its community, Regional Internet Registries, Network Operator Groups and others to help explore and resolve the issues.<\/p>\n<p>A new date for the Key Roll has not yet been determined. ICANN\u2019s Office of the Chief Technology Officer says it is tentatively hoping to reschedule the Key Roll for the first quarter of 2018, but it will be dependent on more fully understanding the new information and mitigating as many potential failures as possible. In the meantime, ICANN remains confident in the security of the current cryptographic key and by extension, the security of the DNS.<\/p>\n<p>ICANN will provide additional information as it becomes available and the new Key Roll date will be announced as appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s our hope that network operators will use this additional time period to be certain that their systems are ready for the Key Roll,\u201d said Marby. \u201cOur testing platform (http:\/\/go.icann.org\/KSKtest) will help operators ensure that their resolvers are properly configured with the new key and we will continue our engagement and communications to these operators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: Ghana\/Starrfmonline.com\/103.5FM<\/p>\n<div class=\"bsac bsac-clearfix bsac-post-bottom bsac-float-center bsac-align-center bsac-column-1\">\n<div id=\"bsac-268370-1158624992\" class=\"bsac-container bsac-type-image \" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WPAdBlock\" data-adid=\"268370\" data-type=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bsac-image\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/starrwoman_posts.jpg\" alt=\"Starr Woman \u2013 Inside Posts\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (\u201cICANN\u201d) has said that the plan to change the cryptographic key that helps protect the Domain Name System (DNS) has been postponed.
