DNSSEC Key Management Tools Research Project Awarded

NLnet Labs has recently been awarded a grant from the European Commission's NGI0 PET funding to invest in improving how operators of high-stakes domains (such as top-level domains) manage their sensitive key material for DNSSEC signing. The outcome of the project, open source tools and processes for secure key management, will enable operators to strengthen the trust in DNSSEC. This is especially important with the increasing use of DNSSEC and DANE to secure, e.g., e-mail transport. The project will run from June 1st until the end of 2019.
