DNS security - Feb 10, 2009

Who wants to talk about DNS security, come to The Brass Ring next Tuesday (Jan 10th) at 4pm. Upstairs is always empty on early Tuesday evenings, which makes the task of locating the only table that's taken easy.

More specifically, I would like to talk about:
- classes of DNS issues (eg. protocol race conditions, problems at the registrars, browsers' inability to enforce same-origin policy, etc).
- problems with the service governance, which is harder than it seems as, in a large company, there are usually windows domain controllers, unix forwarders/caches, load balancers, desktop browsers, IT Security, corporate communications and, potentialy, PR and legal departments involved.
- who, how and how plans to start with DNSsec
- how that mess can be controled. I have a checklist that I will share with interested parties.

See you Tuesday.

Visualization tak at HEP

or, at the UW High Energy Physics meeting room. 7:30pm, Tuesday, 30th Sept. 2008.

The conference room is on the fourth floor in room 4274, next to the department office. Enter the building on the north side (near Sterling hall) and simply head up to the fourth floor -- the conference room is the sixth door on the right. University parking is available near Chamberlin Hall, but it might be simpler to park downtown and walk. Wireless access will be provided.
