  10. Strategic Challenges • Fundaments • Content governance.  STABILITY IS CRUCIAL! • Technology. • Internet Standard compliance • Finance. • Scaling • Growing in line with the demand ... • ... from end users. • ... from (top level) domain name holders. • ... from the root content authority.

  11. Some Direct Threats • Distributed Denial of Service Attacks? • Anycast • "Packet of Death"? • Software and platform diversity • VERY close relationship with software developers • Social Engineering? • Organizational diversity • Very good collaboration btw. root ops

  12. Some Direct Threats • Bad data? • Need unquestionable authority for data! • Strong editing procedures are essential • Signed data transfers • False root servers? • TSIG doesn't scale • SIG(0) might work, but not widespread, cumbersome • Legal prosecution? Slow! • Waiting for DNSSEC (helps authenticating data, not servers, but mitigates problem)
