The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers will this week do some important housecleaning from its successful, first-ever cryptographic key change<\/a> performed last October.<\/p>\n

In October ICANN rolled out a new, more secure root zone Key Signing Key -2017 (KSK-2017)<\/a> but the process wasn\u2019t complete as the old key, KSK-2010 remained in the zone. On January 10 ICANN will revoke the old key and remove it from the root zone. The KSK helps protect the internet\u2019s address book \u2013 the Domain Name System (DNS) and overall Internet security.<\/p>\n
