.ee domains can be protected using the DNSSEC
DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) protects Internet users and domain owners, offering them a guarantee that the user has not been unknowingly redirected from the requested homepage to another. DNSSEC is an important tool for e-commerce, banking, personal and sensitive data handlers that provide their services over the Internet.
The Estonian Internet Foundation will not apply additional charges for this service.

It wasn’t inspired by anything else but was a purely internal initiative – with the goal of fairness, not profit. The .cz registry did an interview with our Head of Development, Timo Võhmar, and discussed our domain auction system and experiences.
