Dear APRALO Community,

As you are aware, the first-ever Root Zone Key Signing Key (KSK) Rollover
is slated for 11 Oct 2018. Here's a blog forwarded from ICANN which talks
about the possible impacts of the rollover.

The blog opines that the likely impact of the rollover process is likely to
be minimal, as it would be confined to a very small portion of Internet
users.

With kind regards,





satish

>From Conclusions:

"When considering the larger pool of all users, then these results indicate
that some 0.01% of the Internet’s entire user population may encounter some
DNS resolution issues when the KSK rolls.

The uncertainty levels in this measurement are ± 0.22% as measured by the
noise component of the results. As this is far greater than the
non-readiness measurement of 0.01% of users, then perhaps there are grounds
to believe that the situation may be better than these figures would
indicate, and the true level of non-readiness for the KSK roll is far
smaller than the 0.01% of users that these results indicate.”



Regards,      David
