CIRA Introduces DNSSEC To Protect Canadians Online

[news release] The Canadian Internet Registration Authority, the organization that manages the .CA domain, is making the Internet safer for all Canadians with the implementation of DNSSEC, the latest in a string of new security measures rolling out in 2014.

 

Half of Canadians would rather deal with .CA than a .COM website when it comes to online activities that require the disclosure of personal information, such as shopping or banking, according to CIRA’s 2014 Internet Factbook.

DNSSEC builds a “chain of trust” between users and the websites they wish to visit. It helps counter malicious online activities such as DNS spoofing and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. These fraudulent activities are usually intended to capture personal information, such as bank account logins.

.CA is just one link in this chain of trust. Other stakeholders in Canada’s Internet ecosystem must now take action to protect .CA websites, and Canadian consumers and businesses.

“The success of DNSSEC now depends on implementation at the system level by players throughout the Internet ecosystem,” said Byron Holland, President and CEO of CIRA. “The full implementation of this ‘chain of trust’ is required to improve the safety and reliability of the Internet infrastructure that has become so vital to the economic and social fibre of our nation. I applaud those stakeholders that have already embraced DNSSEC.”

Visit this website to learn more about how DNSSEC works and how to make your .CA web address part of the chain of trust.

Domain Registrars also have a role to play as service providers who help Canadian businesses and individuals secure their .CA domain names with DNSSEC. easyDNS was one of the first accredited DNSSEC Registrars in Canada.

“Our focus at easyDNS is to offer our members DNS capabilities that meet their needs, and offer them and their customers the best – and safest – experience possible,” said Mark Jeftovic, President and CEO. “The foundation of this rests on trust. With the offering of DNSSEC, our clients can trust that .CA, is a secure choice. Kudos to CIRA for taking this step, and we’re proud to be one of the first in Canada to offer this service to our members.”

About CIRA

The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) manages the .CA top-level domain, Canada’s online identifier, on behalf of all Canadians. A Member-driven organization, CIRA also facilitates the development of a better Internet for all Canadians, and represents the .CA registry internationally.

Nominet : Over 50,000 .UK Registrations in 24 Hours

Nominet announced today that over 50,000 .UK domain names were registered within 24 hours of opening for registration, makikng this one of the fastest selling new domain names releases on record.

 

You can read the press release after the jump :

“Within 24 hours of opening for registration, new, short .uk web domains have topped the sales charts. More than 50,000 domains were registered, making this one of the fastest selling new domain releases on record, and beating the first day sales for all of the current batch of new generic Top Level Domains by a large margin.

“Consumers and brands alike are showing their trust in .uk domains, with our registration rates climbing to ten times the typical daily rate.  We’re thrilled with the response, which shows the excitement people feel about the shorter, sharper domain within the trusted .uk namespace ,” comments Eleanor Bradley, Chief Operating Officer at Nominet.

Following British icon and tech enthusiast Stephen Fry’s switch yesterday, Nominet’s sales channel – domain name registrars – have seen phenomenal interest in the new .uk domains and the rate of registration climbed throughout the first working day of its launch. Brands including Sainsbury’s, Bentley and Burberry were among those to register their short .uk domains within the first few hours of availability.

Over ten million existing UK domain holders are being offered first choice on the shorter equivalent of their current address. Nominet will be contacting these customers to ensure they’re aware of their opportunity to exercise this right.

Welcometothe.uk

To celebrate the launch, UK domain registry Nominet rolled out the world’s largest welcome sign – reading ‘welcometothe.uk’ – at Heathrow airport to mark the biggest change to the UK internet infrastructure since it began.

Visible from as high as 35,000 feet, and measuring nearly 10,000 square feet, the welcome sign is positioned on the approach to the main runway at London Heathrow airport, to greet those arriving. 40% larger than the ‘Hollywood’ letters, and hundreds of times the size of the traditional British welcome signs that frequent motorways up and down the country, the welcometothe.uk sign took ten men over eight hours to put in place.

 

With research revealing that three quarters of British internet users prefer sites ending in .uk when searching or buying online, the introduction of ‘example.uk’ will allow businesses a more succinct web address, comparable to what is available internationally in the likes of Germany’s .de  and France’s .fr. 

When presented with a series of new domains, such as .company, or .london, sites ending in .uk remain the first choice for 93% of internet users.  Those opting for a brand new .uk will benefit from being part of this trusted, popular namespace that is overwhelmingly preferred by Brits, while embracing the shorter option.
