    Open-source Project Aims to Makes Secure DNS Easier  Jul 31, 2009
    To sign DNS records, DNSSEC uses public key cryptography, where signatures are created using a public and private key and implemented on a zone level. Part of the problem is management of those keys, since they must be refreshed periodically to maintain a high level of security, Dickinson said. (Yahoo News -- Technology)

    Soon, e-data that self-destructs  Jul 22, 2009
    Public key cryptography makes it possible for two parties who have never physically met to share a digital secret and as a result engage in a secure electronic conversation sheltered from potential eavesdroppers. The technology is at the heart of most modern electronic commerce systems. (India Times, India -- Health/Science)

    Researchers Help Set Security Standards For The Internet  Jul 18, 2009
    PKI and public key cryptography solve these problems, and Dartmouth researchers are leading the way in helping organizations deploy PKI. A new system developed at Dartmouth called PRQP, which stands for PKI Resource Query Protocol, is now in the pipeline with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to become the universal way to easily implement PKI-enhanced computing security. PKI labors under the misconception that it s difficult, says Scott Rea, senior PKI architect at Dartmouth. (Science Daily)
