Infoworld reports in an article this week that “Africa’s Top Level Domain registries have opted for a slow adoption of Domain Name System Security Extensions, hoping to learn lessons from countries that pioneered the process.”  The article notes that DNSSEC training is planned for African TLDs during the ICANN meeting in Nairobi in March, and quotes the Internet Society’s Michuki Mwangi, a former president of AfTLD: “Africa has an advantage in terms of management of domains because they are few compared to other countries; it may be an opportunity for Africa’s budding e-commerce to take off on a fully secure environment.”
