The Internet DNS (Domain Name System) may be integrity protected with the
deployment of the DNSSEC protocol extension at the root zone. The inventive
methods
allow a common DNSSEC-related cryptographic key configuration, also called
trust
anchor, to be used for a number of independent alternate root nameservice
operators,
each operating its own set of root nameservers. A single root signing entity
feeds each
nameserver operators with its own version of the signed DNS root zone. The
inventive
processes allow these versions to coexist on the public Internet gracefully.
It thus
allows the load on root nameservers to be shared, and a DNS resolver to switch
from
one alternate nameservice operator to the other with minimal disturbance. The
preferred embodiment is such that the exact same substantive root zone
contents is
delivered either by the official DNS root zone or an alternate root
nameservice fed by
an independent root signing entity.
