An entrepreneur from Bath has been selected to safeguard the future of the Internet in the event of a terrorist attack or other catastrophic event.
Paul Kane, chief executive of Internet management company CommunityDNS, is one of seven people who were given a ‘key’ to restart the Web if it is knocked offline.
Mr Kane is the key holder for Western Europe while the other six individuals will share responsibility for the rest of the world.
In the event of a security breach, six of the seven individuals will be required to travel to a secure location in the United States where they can collectively recover the master signing key.
The keyholders would be able to reboot secure systems that underpin some of the Internet to ensure Web users are directed only to genuine websites.
Mr Kane said: “I’m honoured and excited to be recognised for past achievements and current contributions to global Internet security.
D/D obviously holds two of the keys. D/D - own the internet and BAN the bad teds off it too!!!!
