Update on Hardware Security Modules and Rollover Plans for the Root Zone KSK

In April we announced that the manufacturer of our hardware security modules (HSMs) used to securely store the Root Zone Key Signing Key will cease production of the devices . As noted in that communication, we continued with our previously announced plans to begin the first phases of a KSK rollover. We generated a new KSK at the KSK Ceremony 49 in April, and plan to replicate the KSK to the second facility in the upcoming KSK Ceremony 50 this week.
