Reminder: Root KSK Rollover on 11 October 2026 – Check Your Trust Anchors

[Andres Pavez via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

Hi everyone,
The next Root Zone Key Signing Key (KSK) rollover is scheduled for 11 October 2026. Operators of DNSSEC-validating 
resolvers should verify that KSK-2024 (Key Tag 38696) is present in their trust anchor configuration before the 
rollover.

Information and resources, including technical guidance, FAQs, and the rollover timeline, are available on the 2026 
Root KSK Rollover page: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/ksk-rollover-en 

We encourage you to share questions, observations, or experiences before, during, and following the rollover on the KSK 
Rollover mailing list: https://lists.icann.org/postorius/lists/ksk-rollover.icann.org 

Thank you for your continued participation and support in helping ensure a smooth rollover.
Best regards,
-- 
Andres Pavez
Cryptographic Key Manager
