So, you mean the root zone is secure because of "operational
procedures", which is not cryptographic.
Thank you very much to have confirmed my point that DNSSEC

Your point is, surely, conclusive.

So, the root and TLD zones are as secure as diginotar.

I'm sure none of them were aware that PKI is not cryptographically
secure. So?
