The arin.net zone and in particular <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.arin.net">www.arin.net</a> does not seem to be
DNS Sec signed. It would be good for ARIN to demonstrate their
leadership in the Internet technical community and sign their
forward DNS zone, arin.net. As an example both Lacnic and RIPE have
signed their forward zones.<br>
<br>
If this means changing DNS registrars, then please do so.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<span style="font-family:

We will add this additional feature to a planned upgrade to our
existing DNSSEC signing services and roll out signed forward zones
that ARIN is authoritative for by Q2 of 2014.<br>
<br>
This suggestion will remain open.<br>
<br>
1 July 2014<br>
<br>
On 1 July 2014, ARIN announced the completion of this work to the
community:<br>
<br>
I am happy to inform the community that the arin.net and arin.com
zones have been officially signed as part of our commitment to
Domain Name System Security (DNSSEC) throughout the ARIN region and
global Internet community. ARIN has been signing the reverse /8
zones it manages for over the past five years.<br>
<br>
ARIN continues to encourage all members of the Internet community to
implement DNSSEC for their own forward and reverse zones to help
secure the Domain Name System as the Internet continues to grow and
evolve.<br>
<br>

tools to secure your network, visit:<br>
