DENIC, the registry for .de domains, has signed a contract with the Internet Systems Consortium agreeing to substantially contribute to the development of BIND10.

BIND10 will address a number of shortcomings of the existing design including security and resilience, and its modular structure will enable customization.

ITU-Pläne zum Kampf gegen Cybercrime stoßen auf Widerstand
Pläne der International Telecommunication Union (ITU) für einen internationalen Rechtsrahmen im Kampf gegen Cybercrime und Spam bis zum Jahr 2012 stoßen auf Kritik bei westlichen ITU-Mitgliedsländern. Das Sekretariat der Fernmeldeunion hatte während einer Sitzung einer ITU-Ratsarbeitsgruppe vergangene Woche das von ihm favorisierte Arbeitsprogramm zu den Themen Cybercrime und Cybersecurity erneut vorgestellt. Der Weltgipfel der Informationsgesellschaft (WSIS) hatte die ITU als Moderator für weitere Diskussionen über die Sicherheit im Cyberspace eingesetzt. Doch nun warnen Vertreter aus den Mitgliedsländern davor, dass die ITU ihre Kompetenzen zu überschreiten drohe.
