Dear Community, According to our schedule, this Friday November 18th, we will be running the Key Generation Procedure to create the keys to sign .nz For this procedure, we will be using a customized Ubuntu Live CD to start the laptop that will serve as console. We'd like to ask you to download the ISO file to be used to create the Live CD, generate the SHA256 checksum and post it back to the mailing list. During the procedure, we will compare the digest posted to the list, with the digest generated in the laptop. The purpose of this is two-fold: use a different set of binaries to create the digest, to make sure our tools haven't been tampered, and to give the option to the community to review the ISO and see we are using standard tools for the job. The ISO is located at https://secure.nzrs.net.nz/sites/default/files/NZRS-Custom-Live-CD-v1.6.iso NOTE: On a Unix machine, you can generate the sha256 checksum using sha256sum NZRS-Custom-Live-CD-v1.6.iso or openssl dgst -c -sha256 NZRS-Custom-Live-CD-v1.6.iso Thanks for your help, Kind Regards -- Sebastian Castro DNS Specialist .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) desk: +64 4 495 2337 mobile: +64 21 400535
