ICANN paper released on DNSSEC
by Bart Boswinkel July 26, 2008

July 26, 2008

Dear all, In case you have not noticed it yet, ICANN has on 24 July 2008 announced ( see: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-24jul08-en.htm) the release of a paper on DNSSEC. The purpose of the paper is to: a) articulate ICANN's initiatives toward operational readiness for DNSSEC signing; and b) help determine the right structures so ICANN is "...prepared to digitally sign the root using DNSSEC technology by late 2008", as directed in the July 2008 - June 2011 ICANN Strategic Plan after consultation with stakeholders and having sought the necessary approvals. Specifically, this document is not a roadmap for DNSSEC deployment. In addition, in the announcement is mentioned that recently, a prominent security researcher privately reported two domain name system (DNS) vulnerabilities to many DNS name server developers. DNSSEC would be a solution to these vulnerabilities. The details of the vulnerabilities have not yet been disclosed publicly at this stage so that developers can produce patches to reduce the threat these vulnerabilities pose. Private disclosures of this kind also give DNS operators an opportunity to patch systems before the vulnerabilities can be exploited for malicious or criminal purposes. ICANN understands there will be a public announcement of these vulnerabilities by the researcher in coming weeks. This vulnerability does not affect root-level servers or services that provide authoritative name service at the top level. But it does represent a threat for domain name servers that operate between end users and the root; servers operated by Internet Service Providers or large enterprises. Commercial service providers in general are aware of this issue, and are working with vendors to update their software to the latest versions. Kind regards, Bart

Qantas flight update
by Chris Disspain July 25, 2008

July 25, 2008

'Qantas also said the 747-400 was not the one that was used to fly Pope Benedict XVI out of Australia earlier this month after his visit to Sydney.' Thank f*** for that. I just feel so much better knowing this. Had it been the same plane I would have been forced to re-examine my whole belief system. I mean how spooky would it have been..The Holy Father one week, the Holey Plane the next.. Hi, http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/07/25/2314706.htm I'm fine. It wasn't very pleasant but on the other hand I'm more than a little relieved that it was Qantas. They handled everything superbly. It was pretty clear within 30 seconds or so that the pilot still had control of the plane and the cabin crew were magnificent. May never see my bags again of course but that can happen on a flight from London to Manchester!! I think I may still be a little high from the amount of pure oxygen I have breathed;-) However the glass of cabernet merlot currently sitting here in front of me is slipping down well. In fact, it's time for another one. Anyway.. apparently we will be leaving on a replacement plane later tonight all being well. If you zoom in on the photo attached you'll get some idea of the damage.
