In late December 2019 the .ch zone achieved a milestone with 100’000 DNSSEC secured domains. DNSSEC adds digital signatures to DNS answers and helps to mitigate attacks on DNS name resolution.
The percentage of .ch domain names that are signed is still below 5%, but is rising thanks to a few registrars like Infomaniak, OVH, Firestorm and netzone that sign domain names for their customers by default. The number of DNSSEC signed .ch domain names rose 54% from 1.1.2019 to 1.1.2020.
Top .ch domain names are just average regarding domain name security
While the number of DNSSEC signed .ch domain names is rising, it is also important that critical domain names are secured with DNSSEC. Unfortunately the rate of DNSSEC signed .ch domain names in the top 1000 .ch domains is also just at 5%, according to the .ch resilience report by hardenize.
