    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>

    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>
