Dear colleagues,

I'm glad to inform that we have signed the ccTLD .PT in the beginning of 2010 and the DNSSEC signed version of .pt is in production since 4th of January.

For the outside world the .pt infrastructures didn't change, we still have the same primary name server and a half a dozen of secondaries (with dnssec-awareness), but we did add an hidden primary where the signing it's made using an HSM to generate and store the keys.

We are still working to improve the DNSSEC service in the administrative side, and we hope to make it available to or Registrars/Registrants in the next month.

We are scheduling DNSSEC Technical Workshops to your Registrars and NREN - National Research and Education Network since they are more proactive and have the human resources and means to do it. We also have single registrants with the enough DNS knowledge developing DNSSEC as well, with the help of the documentation that we made available and also by direct contact via email and phone.

Further information, as .pt trust anchor it's available at:

(also available by mailing list. Send an email to info@dnssec.pt to subscribe)

Best Regards,

Pedro Veiga
