APNIC Offering DNSSEC Training in Mongolia April 1-3

APNIC logoWe noticed that our friends over at APNIC are offering DNSSEC training in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, from April 1-3 and since, well, we’ve never written anything about Mongolia on this site before, we figured we ought to do so!

The course is APNIC’s DNS/DNSSEC workshop and sounds like an excellent offering.  Given that APNIC was recently tweeting about this event we are assuming there is still space available.

The training session is one in a whole series of training workshops APNIC is offering on topics including DNS/DNSSEC, IPv6, Routing and more.

Given that Mongolia’s .MN TLD is signed with DNSSEC (as shown in the list of signed TLDs), we’re looking forward to seeing more signed .MN domains and more usage of DNSSEC in Mongolia after this workshop!

Video: Emil Ivov about Jitsi, a VoIP softphone supporting IPv6 and DNSSEC

jitsi.jpgThe Jitsi audio/video softphone and messaging client supports both IPv6 and DNSSEC.  How did it get started with IPv6 support?  Why did it add DNSSEC? What value does DNSSEC add to VoIP and IP communications?   We first wrote about Jitsi’s DNSSEC support almost a year ago, but earlier this month at IETF86 I had a chance to sit down with Jitsi project lead Emil Ivov and ask him these questions and much more:

Jitsi is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux from:  http://jitsi.org/  It used to be called the “SIP Communicator” but when they added support for XMPP (Jabber) and XMPP/Jingle back in 2011 they changed the name to be Jitsi.

Given my own personal interest in VoIP / IP communications, I’m planning to write a bit more about Jitsi as I get a chance to do so.  If any of you use Jitsi and create any screencasts about its IPv6 or DNSSEC support – or write up any articles about those capabilities – please do let us know as I’d like to include more on our site about this great project.
