Puzzled by how this all works?   If so, please join us today from 16:45 to 18:15 UTC for “DNSSEC for Everybody: A Beginner’s Guide” streaming live out of Marrakech, Morocco, in both audio and video on links found off of this page:

https://meetings.icann.org/en/marrakech55/schedule/sun-dnssec-everybody

(The video and slides are provided via the “Virtual Meeting Room Stream Live” link.)

The session consists of an introduction and then a skit where a group of us act out DNS operations – and then add DNSSEC into the picture.

Yes… you heard that right… a bunch of engineers acting out a skit about DNS!   :-)

Hey… you might as well have a bit of fun with it, eh?  And our history has told us that this skit has helped people tremendously in understanding DNS and DNSSEC.  We also have some other technical information and usually spend about half the session answering questions from participants.

Please do join us!

This tutorial today is part of a larger set of DNSSEC activities planned for this week.  As the session abstract says:


DNSSEC continues to be deployed around the world at an ever accelerating pace. From the Root, to both Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) and Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs), the push is on to deploy DNSSEC to every corner of the internet. Businesses and ISPs are building their deployment plans too and interesting opportunities are opening up for all as the rollout continues.

Worried that you’re getting left behind? Don’t really understand DNSSEC? Then why not come along to the second ‘DNSSEC for Beginners’ session where we hope to demystify DNSSEC and show how you can easily and quickly deploy DNSSEC into your business. Come and find out how it all works, what tools you can use to help and meet the community that can help you plan and implement DNSSEC.

The session is aimed at everyone, so no technical knowledge is required. Come and find out what it’s all about…!


If you can’t view it live the session will be recorded for later viewing.  And if you want to get started today with DNSSEC, please see our Start Here page to begin!
