"The proposal comes from Alex Stamos of research firm iSec Partners, and
would appoint Artemis Internet as the gatekeeper of .secure. Artemis would
require registered domains to encrypt all web and email traffic (except for
HTTP redirects funneling connections towards the appropriate TLS-encrypted
site), use DNSSEC, and deploy DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) for spam
prevention. In addition, Artemis would employ a rigorous screening
process to
verify registrants' identities (including reviewing articles of
incorporation
and human interviews), and routinely conduct security scans of registered
sites. The venture has $9.6 million (US) in funding provided by Artemis'
parent company NCC Group, a UK-based IT security firm."
