scheduled change of key-signing key (KSK) for DNS root (only the second time ever)
The key-signing key for the DNS root zone is being changed for only the second time ever. This does not involve any changes to our DNS servers and, according to [0], should have no impact on the functionality of our DNS servers [1].
