CENTR, the European ccTLD organization, and its site
& domain hosting partner Openminds
deployed DNSSEC on the centr.org domain name.
DNSSEC significantly
improves the security of the Internet user by reducing the risks that
information can be changed or tampered with during its transfer over the Internet,
for example between an online-banking website and the client.
CENTR’s request to sign centr.org was the impetus for Openminds to prioritize the planned upgrade of its infrastructure and so become one of the first Belgian hosting companies allowing its clients to add security extensions to their domain names.
92% of European ccTLD registries – the companies
responsible for the management of national domains such as .nl for the
Netherlands or .be for Belgium – are offering or are preparing their systems to
soon start offering DNSSEC signed names.
Simple online tools such as the Swedish dnscheck.iis.se allow users
to check if a domain name is signed with DNSSEC.
