"The Toronto Star has an interesting story on how they are securing DNS: It's housed in two high-security facilities separated by the North American landmass. The one authenticated map of the Internet. Were it to be lost — either through a catastrophic physical or cyber attack — it could be
recreated by seven individuals spread around the globe
. One of them is Ottawa's Norm Ritchie. Ritchie was recently chosen to
hold one of seven smartcards that can rebuild the root key
that underpins this system' called DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions). In essence, these seven can
rebuild the architecture
that allows users to know for certain where they are and where they are going when navigating the Web."
