Encryption is widely recognized as not only a tool to ensure that communications are accessible only by authorized persons, but also for other uses, such as verifying authenticity and preventing the undetected change of information content. With the rise of the digital economy and the “Internet of Things,” encryption’s role has become increasingly important in protecting against cybercrime, espionage, and other Internet-based threats. At the same time, some in the national security and law enforcement community view strong encryption as a challenge. Recent events, such as the attacks in San Bernardino, CA and Paris, France, have intensified this debate, on Capitol Hill, within the Federal agencies, and elsewhere.

This change comes at a time of dramatic expansion of the DNS with hundreds of new top level domains delegated.
