Abstract
In March 2005 the IETF standardised a new protocol to secure DNS data. Deployment of Secure DNS, often abbreviated to DNSSEC, is beginning. The introduction of DNSSEC creates a number of challenges for those involved in the administration and management of DNS servers and clients, especially TLD registries. This presentation explains what DNSSEC can and cannot do. It gives an outline of how the new protocol works. The presentation will also discuss the many technical, operational, policy and legal issues that need to be considered before deploying Secure DNS. These will focus on the aspects that are most likely to concern a TLD registry. There will also be a discussion of the problems caused by the introduction of Secure DNS and an update on the work in progress to resolve them.

4.10 pm ccTLD Registry Best practice:
Item 1 – JPRS on Domain Name security
There is a possible danger of DNS hijacking utilizing the situation where an NS record points to an unaware NameServer after the domain name of the NameServer has been deleted and then registered by another registrant. Many news sites in Japan posted articles about this danger. Even the government posted heads-up announcements for this.This issue will be reported and a cooperative investigation of the situation and and appropriate actions among registries are proposed in the talk.
