TDYR 256 – Watching The IPv4 River Run Dry… (Time To Move To IPv6!)
Jun 29
Wednesday, June 30, Is “DNSSEC Day” In Germany!
Want to learn about DNSSEC and DANE auf Deutsch? On Wednesday, June 30, 2015, a group of organizations in Germany will be streaming live a session called “DNSSEC Day” from 14:00 to 18:00 CEST (UTC+2). Information can be found at:
They say the exact link for the live stream will be published there before the start. The agenda indicates the four-hour live stream will be broken into four parts:
• DNSSEC: Wofür man die Technik braucht, wie sie in Grundzügen funktioniert (an overview)
• Die Anwendersicht: Wie setzen Clients DNSSEC ein, welche Provider und DNS-Server sind ratsam (a user’s perspective)
• Handreichungen für Administratoren: Eigene Domäne absichern, Registrare finden, Fallstricke vermeiden (information for administrators)
• DNSSEC-Spezialitäten: Wie DNSSEC im Zusammenspiel mit weiteren Techniken Man-in-the-Middle-Attacken drastisch erschwert und die Mail-Verschlüsselung vereinfacht: OPENPGPKEY, SMIME/A, SSH Fingerprinting, IPSec (DNSSEC specialties – which would appear to be mostly related to the DANE protocol)
This “DNSSEC Day” is a cooperative effort between three organizations:
- The German government’s information security agency (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI))
- DENIC, the registry behind the .DE top-level domain
- Heise online, a leading technology media site
This kind of initiative is great to see and not surprising in Germany due to the high level of interest in DNSSEC and DANE, particularly for use in email communication. DANE is being used quite heavily by a number of email providers, and I’ve been pleased to see a number of German email providers actively advertising their support of DNSSEC and DANE on their websites.
More information can be found at:
We look forward to hearing about how well the event goes and to seeing growth in DNSSEC validation and signing within Germany.
Congrats to all the folks involved for making this happen!

In about 35 minutes, at 17:00 Argentina time (UTC-3), we will be streaming live out of ICANN 53 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with the “DNSSEC For Everybody: A Beginner’s Guide” session. You can watch and listen live at this link:

The session goes for 90 minutes today, roughly half of which is the actual program and the remainder is what usually turns into a live Q&A session. We’ll have some introductory remarks that I’ll do, then we’ll have a skit that dramatizes DNS and DNSSEC interactions, then Russ Mundy will dive into a bit deeper detail about DNSSEC… and then we’ll go to Q&A.
Note that remote participants can ask questions through the Adobe Connect interface.
If you’d like a quick way to understand more about DNS and DNSSEC… join us!
It will be archived for later viewing, too, if you can’t watch it live.
