IEDR, the Irish Domain Registry, has announced that it will enable registrars and registrants to submit Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) data in the ‘.ie’ domain name space in early 2015 using the IEDR online systems. IEDR deployed the first DNSSEC zone in the ‘.ie’ namespace in November 2014 and interested parties could submit requests for DNSSEC, but only via encrypted email. DNSSEC offers ‘.ie’ domain name holders, their customers and general internet users an additional level of security.
