Slides: DANE, the next big thing after DNSSEC

What is the DANE protocol all about? How does it protect Internet communication? How does it relate to SSL/TLS certificates? What is wrong with the Web’s public key infrastructure (PKI), anyway?

At a recent cybersecurity conference in the Netherlands, Marco Davids of SIDN gave a presentation titled, “DANE, the next big thing after DNSSEC,” that covers these and other questions – and does so with a good degree of detail. His slides are available:

We, too, agree that DANE has a great potential to make the Internet much more secure by marrying the strong integrity protection of DNSSEC with the confidentiality of SSL/TLS certificates. We would encourage you to look at our DANE resources and start looking at what you can do today!

Video: The Mobile Business Case for IPv6

At the World IPv6 Congress in Paris last week, Cisco’s Mark Townsley gave this great interview about the business case for IPv6 in mobile networks:

It was great to hear his mention that Verizon is sending 30% of its traffic to Google over IPv6 as well as the mention of IPv6 growth on other mobile networks.

Hat tip to Cisco’s blog, where we first spotted mention of this video.
