几名 ICANN 员工于上周出席了 Black Hat 与 Defcon 会议，并在会上向全球互联网安全社群推出了 DNSSEC。 Black Hat 是世界上最重要的安全会议之一，它吸引了大约 5000 名现场参与者以及更多的在线参与者。Defcon 是一个黑客参加的活动，同时也有政府与安全领域的人员参与，有近 10000 人登记参加了今年的会议。这些都是 ICANN 非常重视的群体。 Black Hat 主席 Jeff Moss 在开幕式上向数千名与会者发表讲话，并提出了一个具有挑战性的问题。在 Black Hat 的 13 年历史中，与会者们一直在对安全问题进行讨论与争议，但我们取得了哪些进展？我们获得了哪些有实际意义的成就？网络上恶意流量的增长远高于合法流量的增长。他认为直到现在，互联网安全社群一直都无法拿出实质性的成果的来证明我们的努力。但现在 DNSSEC 正在启动，而且就在几天前互联网的根域经过了加密签名。这是自首届 Black Hat 以来互联网安全第一次得到显著的提升，我们要感谢 ICANN 能够取得这一成绩。 这也为取得其它成功确立了基调，包括： Whit Diffie 在 Black Hat 执行会议中的主题演讲 80 名来自政府和企业的高层领导人在 Black Hat 正式开始的前一天出席了一个为期一天的单独项目。ICANN 负责“信息安全与密码”的新副总裁 Whit Diffie 是该项目的午餐会主题发言人。他给与会者留下了深刻的印象，许多人都知道他作为一流译解密码员的世界级声誉。 Black Hat [...]
