'''TCR''' or '''Trusted Community Representative''' is a term given by [[ICANN]] to those who hold the keys to [[DNSSEC]] of Internet. Every TCR has been given a part of the master key. The first key signing ceremony took place on 16th June 2010. [[ICANN]] has taken this decision to avoid any terrorist attack or any other catastrophic event on the Internet. If it ever happened, the TCRs will meet at one place, generate a master key and will reboot the [[DNS]]. There are twenty-one TCRs selected by [[ICANN]] around the globe.<ref>[http://www.root-dnssec.org/tcr/ Root-DNSSEC]</ref> The key holders are mainly selected from the following seven territories:<ref>[http://www.eweekeurope.co.uk/news/briton-holds-key-to-rebooting-the-internet-8670 eWeekEurope]</ref>
