> Comments on the Plan to Restart the Root Key Signing Key (KSK) Rollover
> Process opened early February this year
> <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ksk-rollover-restart-2018-02-01-en>.
> For those who have not been following the process that closely, KSK serves
> as a trust anchor for DNSSEC and was last (and for the first time) signed
> in 2010. ICANN had scheduled to implement a new key in October. However,
> they decided to postpone the signing of new cryptographic keys for the DNS
> after finding that the resolvers used by ISPs and network operators were
> still not ready and there's a need for more data in prepping for it.
>
> While the comment is narrow and highly technical in its scope, the overall
> idea of the process can be read as taking the next step in consolidating a
> way of periodically changing keys -- thus enhancing security and resilience
> in the DNS.
