Hmm, immune to Denial of Service?  Genuinely Secure SourceT micro
Operating System? Which is not Linux so DHS ignores NSA's SElinux
(and opensource security strategy). And is missing IPv6 which is
mandatory which they will write from scratch or port from an
open source OS in the next 6 months.....

Interesting times.....

DHS moves to strengthen domain name servers

The Homeland Security Department’s Science and Technology Directorate
has awarded a contract to Secure64 Software to increase the  
security of
the Internet’s Domain Name Servers (DNS).

[...]

Part of the attraction of Secure64 is its Genuinely Secure SourceT  
micro
Operating System that Secure64 said is “immune to compromise from
rootkits and malware and is resistant to denial-of-service attacks.”
Secure64’s product, which includes a secure DNS solution based on
DNSSEC, will be supplemented with an incremental signing feature that
will increase the security of DNS transactions.

The $1.2 million contract with Secure64, of Greenwood Village, Colo.,
will simplify and automate DNSSEC deployment. The goal is to  
provide a
solution that serves not only the U.S. government but other  
organizations,
businesses and service providers worldwide.

The Secure64 product is deployed as a network appliance and
can fit seamlessly into an organization’s existing DNS
architecture. Alternatively, the product can replace an existing DNS.

The Secure64 product must also support IPv6 to comply with the Office
of Management and Budget’s IPv6 mandate. Secure64 supports the
resolution of IPv6 DNS transactions and AAAA DNS records  
transported over
IPv4. Support for transactions over a dual-stack IPv4 / IPv6  
environment
is planned for later this year, with the development to occur outside
this project contract.
