I recently came across this interesting article from Cloudflare about how its DNSSEC public keys are signed by its private key, and the ceremony that is undertaken to do that every few months to secure its root DNS zone. It’s fascinating to me because few people know what DNS is and how it is vital to the Internet as we know it.
The process is straight out of the first Mission Impossible movie. But it’s heartening to know that so much effort goes into something that computers all over the globe trust every day for their operation.
