 ICANN .NET Application Form
VeriSign's methodology in the RRP to EPP transition is an excellent example of applying equivalent access principles to a technical migration.
VeriSign also operates 2 of the Internet's 13 root server sites, including the authoritative "A" root, from which all other root servers obtain the top level map of the Internet, as well as all DNS for.com,.net,.org,.tv,.cc, and other Tlds--an infrastructure that underlies practically all Internet operations.
VeriSign provides a summary of how we have approached each requirement, which is posted at www.verisign.com/nds (Section 2, Table 2.2).

 VeriSign issues fraudulent Microsoft code-signing certificates
VeriSign issued two code-signing certificates that have been found to be fraudulent and could be used to trick users into installing malicious code onto their computers, the security company said Thursday.
Microsoft officials are testing a software update that will cover Windows 95 and 98 desktops and Windows NT and 2000 desktops and servers.
Users that download code electronically or from the Internet rely on code-signing certificates to verify the source of the software.

 HAQUE.NET > Evil VeriSign
VeriSign actively monitors all traffic associated with Site Finder, including DNS queries matching the wildcard entries in.com and.net and associated responses, and all traffic sent to the response server.
The DNS is the world-wide phone book which maps the names you see in your web browser (for example www.mysite.com) to an IP address, a number that the computer can use to find the site.
In fact, it can be demonstrated for a fact that VeriSign is not ignoring data after the domain name in a URL by typing in, for example:

 Microsoft, VeriSign, and Certificate Revocation
The fundamental error is that VeriSign issued those certificates to somebody other than Microsoft, so somebody can then create and sign software that appears to come from Microsoft.
One may question whether VeriSign has "understood and carefully weighed" the full implications, but that's a completely different question than whether they followed RFC 2459 or not.
There are countless Class 3 code-signing certificates already issued and deployed in all kinds of software.

 ICANNWatch VeriSign Caves, For Now
Verisign's introduction of real-world semantics at the infrastructural level of DNS degrades the value of the semantically neutral infrastructure, whether their semantic ideas are good or not.
"VeriSign will argue vigorously for innovation because it not only improves the Internet user experience but has implications for the vitality of the DNS system and economic competitiveness and job growth."
Real world semantics simply doesn't belong at the DNS level.

In response to Verisign's audacious land grab, the developer of the technology used to direct most surfers on the Web has released a workaround designed to stop users who mistype URLs ending up at Verisign's new search site.
The Internet Software Consortium, the non-profit body that develops the ubiquitous BIND domain name server, has adapted its software so that those users who enter mistyped domain names are served up with old-style error messages instead of Site Finder.
The backlash against Verisign's controversial decision to direct users who get lost on the Web to a search engine site run by the company is gaining momentum.
