Net's foundations shaken by dispute.(The Dallas Morning News)
Byline: Jim Landers
DULLES, Va. _ Viruses have spread through personal computers like sniffles through a kindergarten. But at the Internet's foundations, a debate is underway about whether profit or prestige does a better job preventing more crippling diseases.
VeriSign Inc., a $1.2 billion telecommunications infrastructure company, argues for profit. ICANN _ the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a nonprofit coalition of businesses, academics and engineers _ argues for prestige.
Last week, VeriSign took the argument to court and sued ICANN for blocking its commercial ambitions. ICANN responded by lamenting, "VeriSign has again chosen confrontation over consensus."
VeriSign officials cite an unusual cyberattack from October 2002 to assert that profits make for better security.
The denial-of-service attack hit at the Internet's 13 root servers, the bedrock address books of the World Wide Web.
Nine root servers housed at universities and research centers were overwhelmed with malicious, inane inquiries arriving 70,000 times a second.
