[Community-Discuss] Call for Participation -- ICANN DNSSEC Workshop at ICANN64 Kobe, Japan

[Mark Elkins]

The DNSSEC Deployment Initiative and the Internet Society Deploy360
Programme, in cooperation with the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory
Committee (SSAC), are planning a DNSSEC Workshop during the ICANN64
meeting held from 09-14 March 2019 in Kobe, Japan. The DNSSEC Workshop
has been a part of ICANN meetings for several years and has provided a
forum for bothexperienced and new people to meet, present and discuss
current and future DNSSEC deployments. For reference, the most recent
session was held at the ICANN Annual General Meeting in Barcelona,
Spain, on 24 October 2018. The presentations and transcripts are
available at: https://63.schedule.icann.org/meetings/901549,
and https://63.schedule.icann.org/meetings/901554,
and https://63.schedule.icann.org/meetings/901555.

At ICANN64 we are particularly interested in live demonstrations of uses
of DNSSEC, DS automation or DANE. Examples might include:

  * DNSSEC automation and deployment using CDS, CDNSKEY, and CSYNC
  * DNSSEC/DANE validation in browsers and in applications
  * Secure email / email encryption using DNSSEC, OPENPGPKEY, or S/MIME
  * DNSSEC signing solutions and innovation (monitoring, managing,
    validation)
  * Tools for automating the generation of DNSSEC/DANE records
  * Extending DNSSEC/DANE with authentication, SSH, XMPP, SMTP, S/MIME
    or PGP/GPG and other protocols

Our interest is to provide current examples of the state of development
and to show real-world examples of how DNSSEC and DANE related
innovation can be used to increase the overall security of the Internet.

We are open to presentations and demonstrations related to any topic
associated with DNSSEC and DANE. Examples of the types of topics we are
seeking include:

 

1. DNSSEC Panel (Regional and Global)

For this panel, we are seeking participation from those who have been
involved in DNSSEC deployment in the region and also from those who have
not deployed DNSSEC but who have a keen interest in the challenges and
benefits of deployment. In particular, we will consider the following
questions: Are you interested in reporting on DNSSEC validation of your
ISPs? What can DNSSEC do for you? What doesn't it do? What are the
internal tradeoffs to implementing DNSSEC? What did you learn in your
deployment of DNSSEC? We are interested in presentations from both
people involved with the signing of domains and people involved with the
deployment of DNSSEC-validating DNS resolvers.

 

2. DS Automation

We are looking at innovative ways to automate the parent child
synchronization CDS / CDNSKEY and methods to bootstrap new or existing
domains.  We are also interested in development or plans related to
CSYNC, which are aimed at keeping the glue up to date.
We would like to hear from DNS Operators what their current thoughts on
CDS/CDNSKEY automation are.

 

3. DNSSEC/DANE Support in the browsers 

We would be interested in hearing from browser develop what their plans
are in terms of supporting DNSSEC/DANE validation.

 

4. DANE Automation

For DNSSEC to reach massive deployment levels it is clear that a higher
level of automation is required than is currently available. There also
is strong interest for DANE usage within web transactions as well as for
securing email and Voice-over-IP (VoIP). We are seeking presentations on
topics such as:

  * How can the industry use DANE and other DNSSEC applications as a
    mechanism for creating a more secure Internet?
  * What tools, systems and services are available to help automate
    DNSSEC key management?
  * Can you provide an analysis of current tools/services and identify gaps?
  * What are some of the new and innovative uses of DANE and other
    DNSSEC applications in new areas or industries?
  * What tools and services are now available that can support DANE usage?

We would be particularly interested in any live demonstrations of DNSSEC
/ DANE application automation and services. Demonstrations of new tools
that make the setup of DNSSEC or DANE more automated would also be welcome.

If you are interested in participating, please send a brief (1-2
sentence) description of your proposed presentation
to dnssec-kobe at isoc.org <mailto:dnssec-kobe at isoc.org>before ** *07
February 2019* **

We hope that you can join us.
Thank you,
Kathy Schnitt
