Recent movement

30-day window

12 Aug 2026 to 10 Sep 2026

No material or supporting trust-posture observations were recorded across the fixed panel during the selected 30-day window. Routine operational movement remains retained in the underlying evidence.

Continuous per-domain coverage cannot be established from the public manifest artefacts alone; counts use available generated event records.

90-day window

13 Jun 2026 to 10 Sep 2026

No material or supporting trust-posture observations were recorded across the fixed panel during the selected 90-day window. Routine operational movement remains retained in the underlying evidence.

What this means

DNSSEC visibility describes public evidence observed at the delegation and DNS record layers. It does not prove that DNSSEC is correctly operated end to end, that validation succeeds for every resolver, or that a domain is secure, compliant or free from configuration problems.

About this view

Where is DNSSEC evidence currently visible, and where has that visible evidence changed?

Show the current visibility and consistency of DNSSEC evidence using delegation-layer assertions and directly observed DNSKEY presence, together with relevant changes during defined observation windows.

Published limitations

  • Derived from public .auDO observations generated from the canonical observatory dataset.
  • Counts describe the observed .auDO panel, not the whole .au namespace.
  • Missing optional fields are counted as missing rather than inferred.

Data quality and availability

  • Required public event scope: observatory.
