A high level of adoption of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is essential to protect the integrity of the Domain Name System (DNS) Internet infrastructure to ensure the interoperability and security of the global cyberspace. This report provides an analysis of the level of adoption of DNSSEC in Q1 2024 across EU Member States and globally, using data publicly available as well as from measurements conducted by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. The report also presents an analysis of the following additional standards designed to protect the confidentiality of DNS communications, namely DNS over TLS (DoT), DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over QUIC (DoQ).

The adoption of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), the next version of the widely used IPv4, is key to ensure the interoperability, scalability, stability, and security of the Internet. This report provides an overview of the current level of adoption of the IPv6 protocol in Q1 2024 across EU Member States, compared to the global adoption status. The analysis uses a set of publicly available data sources for estimating the rate of adoption of IPv6 across two dimensions: (a) end-user adoption, i.e. end-user hosts capable of using IPv6 to connect to the Internet, and (b) server-side adoption, i.e. Internet services that can operate over IPv6.

The actions proposed by the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) initiative aim to strengthen the security of the global Internet routing system, thus improving the interoperability, scalability, stability, and security of the Internet. This report provides an overview of the current level of adoption of routing standards, including MANRS actions, in Q1 2024 across EU Member States, as well as globally. The analysis of the level of uptake of routing standards has been carried out using publicly available data.

The broad deployment of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)-related standards (such as, HTTPS, HTTP/3 and HTTP security response headers) is imperative for ensuring the interoperability, security, scalability and stability of the Internet. This report studies the adoption rate of modern HTTP-related technologies, namely HTTP Secure (HTTPS), the latest version of HTTP, i.e., HTTP/3, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) response header in Q1 2024 across EU Member States, as well as globally. The analysis of the level of uptake of HTTPS and HTTP/3 has been carried out using publicly available data, whereas the HSTS analysis is based on data both publicly available and from measurements conducted by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre.

Ensuring the interoperability and security of email communications is one of the cornerstones of a resilient and open Internet. In this context, the wide adoption of key Internet security standards, such as StartTLS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DANE and DNSSEC, is essential for a safe cyberspace for everyone. This report assesses the level of uptake of the above set of standards in Q1 2024 across EU Member States, comparing it to the global status. The analysis uses data from publicly available data sources and assessment tools, as well as from measurements conducted by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre.

A high level of adoption of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is essential to protect the integrity of the Domain Name System (DNS) Internet infrastructure to ensure the interoperability and security of the global cyberspace. This report provides an analysis of the level of adoption of DNSSEC in Q3 2023 across EU Member States and globally, using data publicly available as well as from measurements conducted by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. The report also presents an analysis of the following additional standards designed to protect the confidentiality of DNS communications, namely DNS over TLS (DoT), DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over QUIC (DoQ).
