Dear colleagues, It was brought to our attention that the PGP signature of the trust anchor file we publish for all our signed zones was failing to verify with versions of GnuPG 1.4.8 and higher. This was caused by a combination of the following conditions: 1. A plain text file contains white space at the ends of lines and 2. A detached signature is generated In this case, the signature generated by versions of GnuPG lower than 1.4.8 will not verify with GnuPG 1.4.8 and higher. We have corrected this situation by ensuring that the trust anchor file we publish does not have extra white space at the end of any line. Therefore, the signature over this file will verify with any version of GnuPG. We have published an updated trust anchor file on the RIPE NCC website. We also took this opportunity to introduce trust anchors for two new reverse zones that we signed recently, which are 109.in-addr.arpa and 178.in-addr.arpa. The file and its signature are available at: https://www.ripe.net/projects/disi/keys/index.html Regards, Anand Buddhdev DNS Services Manager RIPE NCC
