Secure64

Secure64 is a software developer providing secure, self-protecting, high performing server applications. Founded in 2002, Secure64™s core technology is SourceT®, a patent-pending Genuinely Secure micro OS designed from the ground up to make this OS and any applications running on it immune from rootkits and malware, and resistant to network attacks.

Secure64 produces S64 DNS: a robust integrated microOS/authoritative DNS server. The idea is that the S64 DNS server would be a turnkey DNSSEC appliance and handle all the tasks for the DNS administrator while maintaining security of the system. More information about the design goals of S64 DNS, the SourceT OS and benchmarks can be found on the Secure64 technology page.

How are Secure64 Products being used on the SNIP?

Secure64 currently operates a secure delegation from dnsops.biz (secure64.dnsops.biz) as well as a system running locally at the NIST node. The NIST run Secure64 server will be used for some stress tests and for a collection of experimental zone configurations as well as basic interoperability tests with other DNS implementations. More information, including a guide on how to meet the NIST SP 800-81 checklist items will be posted as more experience is gained.

In addition to hosting a delegation in dnsops.biz, Secure64 is becoming more active in the DNSSEC deployment initiative. Secure64 has recently been awarded a contract from DHS to work on helping them meet the US Government's Internet Infrastructure security needs.
