A Perspective on the KSK Rollover [Cybersecurity, Surveillance, Privacy]

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Thanks for sharing Salanieta.

A higher crypto key strength/size is indeed something ICANN should
consider, since the root zone is well, the root!
I haven't read the report where RSPK found no compelling ground to increase
the algorithm size of the key. I'll dig it up and see why they believe it
is not necessary.

Cheers,
Tomslin
