In the second half of 2023 five more countries have joined the ranks of those with secured country-code Top Level Domains (ccTLD) and security keys deployed in the DNS root zone. Just about every Internet communication starts with a Domain Name System (DNS) lookup. The DNS is an essential piece of Internet infrastructure that translates […]
Some time ago, I wrote here about what we could learn from an analysis of data from Qrator Labs related to the diversity of cross-border Internet connectivity for countries worldwide. As a network of networks, the Internet can be characterized as a set of dependencies between networks. Dependencies for both connectivity and customers. An outage at any specific network […]
Reducing maximum lifetimes of TLS certificates to 90 days could eliminate up to 75% of third-party staleness.

Decision-makers and advocates can use Pulse to identify weaknesses in their local Internet ecosystem and make evidence-based, public policy decisions to address these.
If you’ve followed my series of posts on the benefits of HTTP/3 (QUIC) compared to HTTP/2 (TCP), by now you might think that these new protocols seem too good to be true. They improve performance, boost security/privacy, and are the perfect bedrock for future-proof experimentation and improvements in the years to come. Still, the protocols have […]
So far in this series, I’ve detailed how QUIC and HTTP/3 have overcome the security and privacy issues that plague the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) and HTTP/2 in a future-proof way. In this post, I’ll look at how they compare when it comes to perhaps the most important feature of any protocol: performance. Comparing HTTP/3 […]
