Is VeriSign Up To Running The .Net
Registry?

Is VeriSign Up To Running The .Net
Registry? 02/05/2005 09:45 PM
Later this year, a company will be selected to run the .net domain on the internet. VeriSign has operated the .net registry since 2001 alongside the .com registry. However, exactly how certain it is that the company will be able to take on the registry for another term is unknown. VeriSign critics have highlighted their poor track record on certain issues as a sound reasons as to why the company should not be allowed to run the .net registry again. In 2003, VeriSign introduced a controversial and short lived "Site Finder" redirection service for all un-registered .com and .net domains. ICANN forced VeriSign to remove the service and VeriSign in turn sued ICANN in a case that was dismissed in late 2004. Yet as <a href="http://www.ntk.net/">NTK</a> summarizes, two security researchers have another reason as to why VeriSign shouldn't be running the registry.

"Everyone else likes to worry about Google's gathering conflict of interests, but Verisign's S.P.E.C.T.R.E.-level skills still take some beating. This week, orbiting crypto analysts Ian Grigg and Adam Shostock belatedly pointed out to ICANN that perhaps VeriSign couldn't trusted with .net. Why? Well, VeriSign these days offers both top level domains and SSL certificate authentication. They also, with their <a href="http://www.verisign.com/products-services/communications-se rvices/connectivity-and-interoperability-services/calea-compliance/pag e_CS_CIS_NETDISCOVERY.html">NetDiscovery service</a> - sell ISPs a complete service for complying with law enforcement surveillance orders. So, if an American court demands an ISP wiretap its customers, and the ISP turns that order over to VeriSign to do the dirty: well, VeriSign can now fake any domain you want, and issue any temporary fake certificate, allowing even SSLed communications to be monitored." (Complete message <a href="http://forum.icann.org/lists/net-rfp-verisign/msg00008.html ">here</a>)

VeriSign have yet to respond to these criticisms. So far, ICANN, the body that oversees the .Net registry, has received five applications to run it; Verisign's four year contract with ICANN expires on 30 June 2005. VeriSign had seemed highly likely to win the bid until it emerged that <a href="http://www.core-plusplus.net">CORE++</a>, a global consortium of companies, had quietly placed a bid for the contract. Core claim to have the backing of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Systems_Consortium&qu ot;>Internet Systems Consortium</a>, a non-profit company that makes central internet software like <a href="http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/">BIND</a>. The company seem reasonably determined to take over from VeriSign, who are experiencing their first ever challenge to their monopoly of running top-level domains. ICANN will announce the winning bid in the coming months.

Online Gamer Wins Back Goods From
Virtual Theft 12/19/2003 01:02 PM
There's been a ton of discussion in the last few months about how the law applies as it crosses over the real/virtual barrier. The biggest question seems to be whether or not someone can be charged for stealing virtual items in an online game. Especially in cases where such items can be resold for real money, is it really theft, or is it "just a game"? What if the whole point of the game is to attack others and steal their stuff? There isn't a particularly easy way to answer these questions, though anyone creating an online game might want to think about it, as their "terms of service" are likely to act as a de facto Constitution for the world. Over in China, though, the first decision has been made on such a case and a video game company has been told to return the goods lost to a player when someone else hacked his account. The guy tried to find out the identity of the hacker, but was denied, and then sued the gaming company for money. The court's ruling sounds fairly reasonable. It looks like they aren't making the company pay, but are telling them to restore the items the player lost.
