Deploy360@IETF89, Day 2: homenet, sidr, grow, dnse, 6man
Day 2 for the Deploy360 team here at the 89th IETF meeting is a big day for routing and for IPv6. Two of the main routing groups, SIDR and GROW, meet today, and our colleague Andrei Robachevsky recently wrote about the important work happening in both groups to make the Internet’s routing infrastructure more secure.
Two of the important IPv6 groups we are monitoring are meeting today: HOMENET and 6MAN. Homenet is focused on “home networks” and the role IPv6 plays there. They are doing some very cool work within the group and a couple of our members are there. In the afternoon, the 6man group will be looking at changes to the IPv6 protocol. As our colleague Phil Roberts recently wrote, a big focus here will be around efficient neighbor discovery.
Today will also have a “Birds of a Feather” (BOF) meeting for the “DNSE” group. This is not a formal working group but rather a meeting to talk about some potential areas of work within other groups within the IETF. As I wrote about in a recent post:
- The “Encryption of DNS requests for confidentiality” (DNSE) BOF is exploring how to protect the confidentiality of DNS requests from sniffing. The DNSE BOF will use draft-bortzmeyer-dnsop-dns-privacy and draft-koch-perpass-dns-confidentiality as starting points for discussion.
Another feature of today will be the “Internet Society @ IETF89 Briefing Panel” today from 11:45-12:45 UTC where the topic is “Evolution of end-to-end: why the Internet is not like any other network“. It should be quite an interesting discussion that will also be live streamed out via Google+ / YouTube.
If you are here at IETF 89, please do say hello! And if you are remote, you can follow along using the information at the bottom of the page and also follow us on Twitter at @deploy360 and also @isoctech.

Deploy360@IETF89, Day 1: dnssd, sipcore, technical plenary
Our first day here at the 89th IETF meeting for the Deploy360 team starts off with a lighter schedule… which is okay because later in the week we are double- or triple-booked in some session timeslots! Today the main DNSSEC / DANE session is one that I actually did NOT write about in my “Rough Guide to IETF 89: DNSSEC, DANE and DNS” post because at that time I was not aware that DANE would be discussed in this working group. It’s the “SIPCORE” working group focused on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) used in voice-over-IP and while the agenda for the SIPCORE session has not yet been posted as I write this note, Olle Johansson let me know that he’d be talking about SIP and DANE in that session.
In fact, Olle’s slides about SIP and DANE are now posted online and they look quite good. I’m looking forward to that discussion this afternoon!
Prior to SIPCORE, the other group on our watch list will be the DNSSD group that, as I mentioned in the Rough Guide post, is looking at how to extend DNS service discovery past the local network. Before that, in the morning, odds are that at least one of us will be in the DHC working group as it is focused on DHCP and includes a number of IPv6 issues on its agenda.
The day will conclude with the IETF 89 Technical Plenary that will have as a technical focus “Bitcoin, cybercurrencies and Internet payment systems”. While not directly connected to the work we do here at Deploy360, it should be an interesting discussion! If you are not here in London, you can watch the IETF 89 Technical Plenary at:
That’s what our day 1 looks like at IETF 89 – if you are here please do feel free to find us and say hello!

Slides: Why We Need #MoreCrypto / TLS In Applications
Why do we need TLS in applications? Why do we need “more crypto”? Recently Olle Johansson put together a good set of slides that nicely summarize the issue:
Yes! We need more use of TLS! Please help us spread the word!

Weekend Project: Add DKIM / DNSSEC Verifier To Thunderbird
Here’s an interesting weekend project if you use Mozilla Thunderbird as your email client – add the DKIM Verifier add-on to ensure the validity of signatures on email messages. The connection to DNSSEC is that the public keys for DKIM are stored in DNS and so DNSSEC ensures that you are getting the correct DKIM keys.
This past week Pier Carlo Chiodi published a great tutorial, “Verifying DKIM signatures on Thunderbird with DNSSEC” that walks through the steps of adding the DKIM Verifier add-on to Thunderbird to verify the signature on the message and validate it all via DNSSEC.
As he notes in his text, this tutorials does the DKIM/DNSSEC validation in the client (Thunderbird) while other solutions might do the validation within the email server itself.
Thanks to Pier Carlo Chiodi for writing this tutorial. This is great to see… now we just need similar tutorials for other email clients!
Note: the image in this article is from Pier Carlo Chiodi’s blog post.
