Hmm hardly used at all...

As far as I can tell DNSSEC usage is skyrocketing...

What percentage of domains (not TLDs, actual registered domains) use DNSSec? I suspect it's under 5%. A quick check shows no DS records for biggies like google.com, microsoft.com, facebook.com, amazon.com, netflix.com, apple.com or oracle.com. There is one for whitehouse.gov, though, which is good.

The "biggies" are always the last to change given the complexity of their infrastructure & bureaucracy.

Given the rate how fast this is being adopted, now that cloud providers offer it, I'm pretty sure Microsoft will have completed their adoption atleast for the Office 365 platform by the end of this year.

NIST provides statistics on IPv6 and DNSSEC adoption within the US government here [1].

Thanks for the link. As this page shows, DNSSEC adoption is very limited.

Among their sample atleast and as you can see both Debian and FreeBSD are doing better job than Fedora in that measurement and Fedora is just slightly better than RH which is on par with Microsoft...
