Global Internet Shutdown Next 48 Hours - ICANN DNS Update

Over the next 48 hours, ICANN the organization that is in practical control over how the Internet and World Wide Web as we know it functions, is going to be changing the cryptographic keys in order to secure the DNS.

This will only impact a small percentage of users as they visit websites. Some websites might not be readily available as the updates take place.

While this may be an inconvenience, it's vital to the ongoing functionality of the web.

DNS aka Domain Name System is the translation of an IP Address aka Internet Protocol Address which is a string of numbers into a human readable name like YouTube dot com.

Here's a brief description from the ICANN Website:

"Rolling the KSK means generating a new cryptographic public and private key pair and distributing the new public component to parties who operate validating resolvers, including: Internet Service Providers; enterprise network administrators and other Domain Name System (DNS) resolver operators; DNS resolver software developers; system integrators; and hardware and software distributors who install or ship the root's "trust anchor." The KSK is used to cryptographically sign the Zone Signing Key (ZSK), which is used by the Root Zone Maintainer to DNSSEC-sign the root zone of the Internet's DNS."
