[DFWUUG:Notify] Meeting THIS Thursday At SUN!!!!

[General Announcement List (Low-Traffic)]

 Thursday, August 7, 2008 -- 7:00 PM

Normal Meeting Location

Location: Sun Microsystems in Dallas

Our meetings are always open to the public at no charge.

Main Presentation

Topic(s): "DNS SEC"

Introducing the DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC-bis), the presentation 
will cover the need, creation, use, troubleshooting, and problems of 
DNSSEC signed zones. The presentation will also introduce EDNS0, new 
resource records, and DNSSEC related tools. The examples will be done 
using ISC BIND. Due to limited time, the lecture will be very 
introductory while still covering these many topics.

DNSSEC extends standard DNS to add resource records and algorithms to 
provide source authentication (not encryption) for DNS. It is backward 
compatible, so non-DNSSEC systems can still use the normal DNS data.

The presentation will also discuss the recent and ongoing security 
vulnerability.

Speaker(s): Jeremy Reed with ISC

Jeremy is a NetBSD and DragonFly committer, BSD Certification Group 
board member, and an ISC employee.
