Continuing our series of humorous Friday posts, how could we not post this animated video on the theme of “NATs are good!”?

Deploy360 Team At IETF 83 Next Week In Paris…
If you are going to be at the 83rd meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) next week in Paris, two members of the Deploy360 team, Megan Kruse and myself (Dan York), will be there onsite for the full week.
Given what we do here at Deploy360, you can expect to typically find us in the DNSSEC-related working groups and the IPv6-related working groups as well as various other groups that have IPv6- or DNSSEC-related documents under consideration. Odds are pretty good that we’ll also be in some of the other working groups highlighted in the recently released document:
Particularly some of the working groups related to routing security. As usual the IETF 83 agenda offers a packed schedule and we’re looking forward to meeting up with people at the event.
On that note, if you’d like to connect with Megan or I at IETF 83, please feel free to drop us an email to deploy360@isoc.org as that may be the best way to reach us.
See some of you there!
P.S. I’m also going to be in Paris on Saturday and Sunday if any of you are interested in connecting over the weekend.

New Paper – “Challenges and Opportunities in Deploying DNSSEC” at SATIN 2012
This morning at the SATIN 2012 conference in London I (Dan York) will be speaking on the topic of “challenges and opportunities in deploying DNSSEC“. Basically I’ll be providing a view of our experience here at Deploy360 over the past 6 months in looking at how to accelerate the deployment of DNSSEC. As we have been building up our list of DNSSEC resources, we’ve been taking a look at DNSSEC from the “user experience” point of view. What are the pain points for network operators? for developers? for content providers? for enterprises?
Where are the opportunities to simplify the user experience and make it easier to deploy DNSSEC?
As part of this presentation at SATIN 2012, we created a 7-page paper documenting our findings. You can download the PDF of this document at:
Challenges and Opportunities in Deploying DNSSEC (SATIN 2012)
As I note on the “resource” page for this paper, we look at the issue from the perspective of:
- Domain name consumers - any person or application that is using a domain name.
- Domain name holders - people or organizations who have registered a domain and, in the context of DNSSEC, want to sign the domain.
- Domain name infrastructure operators - people or organizations that provide the actual service behind the Domain Name System and have a role to play in the DNSSEC signing and validation processes.
Creating the paper was a very useful process in that it helped us identify some of the places where we can add value through the Deploy360 program in the form of new DNSSEC tutorials, HOWTOs and other documents. I hope that it will be helpful for others out there who are also looking at ways to help accelerate DNSSEC deployment.
I’d very much love to hear any and all feedback on the document. This is very much a “progress report” of what we have found at this point in time and I expect the list of both challenges and opportunities to evolve over time.
What do you think of the list in this document? Do you agree? Disagree? Can you think of other opportunities for simplifying the user experience with DNSSEC?
Again, I’d love to hear from you, either as comments to this post, email to deploy360@isoc.org or via our feedback form
