DNSSEC is an extension to the Internet Domain Name System (DNS). DNSSEC improves computer network security by adding extra intelligence to DNS that validates Internet domain names and addresses. Organizations around the world are gradually enabling DNSSEC to help prevent so called DNS cache poisoning attacks on their networks.

This week, Comcast became the first ISP in the U.S. to announce support for DNS SECurity. If you are a Comcast customer, you can participate in their trial simply by updating the IP addresses for DNS on your computer or router.

Unfortunately, as the Register points out, DNSSEC won't offer much real protection until most of the world's networks enable it. Comcast, for one, indicates it will be another year before they enforce use of the technology.

High school students in Ardmore, PA, and around the United States are getting a crash course in the remote activation of webcams, courtesy of the Lower Merion School District. The District has been sued by students and parents in response to allegations that one student was captured on video engaging in questionable behavior (eating candy, dealing in drugs, or something in between, we're not sure) at his home.

This school district spent approximately USD $2 million to outfit students with MacBook computers. They also either outfitted each computer with remote monitoring software or enabled the built-in feature called Back to My Mac to help track down any computers that went missing. Trouble is, it seems that the community wasn't aware of this technology and its capabilities. Now it's the legal system's turn to weigh in on the matter.

As reported in the New York Times, students at Empire High School in Vail, Arizona (USA) have been enjoying mobile Internet service on one of its buses since last year. Installing Wi-Fi on a bus is hardly a new idea. Nor is "The Internet Bus" likely to win a beauty contest with San Francisco's (see: The Connected Bus. Nevertheless, it seems the students have not only embraced the technology but also used it for productive purposes, like doing their homework.

Popular Science says Wi-Fi access aboard buses appears to eliminate almost all behavioral hijinks." That may be true at the beginning, but will things change when the novelty wears off?

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a standard computer network protocol for handling outgoing emails. An SMTP server is simply any computer designated to handle requests from email clients for sending messages via this protocol.

To use an SMTP server, an email client must be configured with the server's name or address. Typical SMTP server names are smtp.comcast.net or mail.btinternet.com. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) normally maintain SMTP servers for their customers to use. Alternatively, servers from Web-based email providers such as Google (smtp.gmail.com) are attached to those services and sometimes (as in Google's case) open to any Internet client. Corporations also set up similar servers for their own internal (intranet) email.

BlackBerry User Checking Email (San Francisco, CA)

A traditional BlackBerry is the well-known mobile email device so popular with governments, some large corporations and other institutions who carry on a lot of conversations (or at least pretend to). A high capacity private data network managed by its parent company Research In Motion (RIM) powers the BlackBerries.

So many people rely on the BlackBerry that any RIM network outages tend to generate big publicity. And because the network is both busy and essentially dependent on one private company to run, fears over future big outages persist. Ideally the real-time status of the RIM network should be easily monitored from any location to increase awareness of any service disruptions (and also alleviate concerns over general reliability).
