Despite being nearly 40 years old, the ways we interact with and use DNS continue to evolve. This session will look at changes and different approaches to DNS management in the NREN world.
DNS is a fundamental aspect of the R&E community’s online life, and any resulting privacy concerns are an ongoing challenge for campus network operators. Without pre-judging the issue, this session will provide a solid foundation upon which to base critical decisions about whether and how to support encrypted DNS in your environment.
In this presentation we will show that it is possible to increase security while protecting our users’ privacy at the same time by discussing how we followed a privacy-by-design approach when designing a system to log security relevant data (DNS queries) at SURF.
We will present our design as well as the lessons learned along the way. Next to this, we will discuss some first results from...
In this presentation, we propose the creation of a federated anycast network run by NRENs.
Anycast networks are widely used in the DNS infrastructure, NTP services, content delivery networks, certificate authorities, and distributed denial of service(DDoS) mitigation.
On the creation of any federated services, the biggest challenge is centered on political and laws issues. But,...
