New jresolver, with DNSSEC support http://noa.resare.com/2009/08/jresolver/ http://noa.resare.com/2009/08/jresolver/#comments Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:48:21 +0000 noa http://noa.resare.com/?p=220 After a sort of long summer break I'm slowly feeling like it would be fun to blog a bit again. After an intense election campaign for the European Parliament in June, we actually did get a Pirate party representatitive elected, which feels like a milestone for the geeks in politics. Congratulations Christian!
dnssec-1
I have spent most of the summer doing work programming but I have also managed to go to Rome with Sångkraft and win a choir competition and update one of my free software projects, the jresolver Java stub resolver.

The new version of jresolver adds some autoconfig abilities as well as some awareness of DNSSEC. Now the resolver can query the recursive nameserver about weather a specific result is cryptographically verified or not. Perhaps not a terribly useful feature, but I think that anything that brings awareness to the effort to get people to use DNSSEC is a good thing. Anyway, the new version, 0.3.1, can be found over at fs.voxbiblia.com. Now, at least everyone that has a .se domain, run over to iis.se and read up on how to sign your zones.
