Join InterCommunity 2015 on July 7/8 to talk about Internet security!
This week you have a unique opportunity to offer your opinion on how we can make the Internet more secure! On July 7 and 8 our global Internet Society membership meeting, InterCommunity 2015, will bring together thousands of people all around the world to address critical questions around the future of the Internet – how it is governed, how it is secured and how we bring the rest of the world online. YOU CAN JOIN IN DIRECTLY by going to this site to register:
https://www.internetsociety.org/intercommunity2015/
You can join in from your computer or mobile device in your home, at your office or wherever you can get connectivity.
This is a global meeting happening ON the Internet – and FOR the Internet!
In some cities across the world we will have “regional nodes” where people will be gathering together in a location to join into conversations with each other – and then to join into the global conversation. You are welcome to gather in one of those locations… or to join in from wherever you are. There are opportunities to connect in and have your voice heard from wherever you can connect.
As you can see on the InterCommunity agenda, the meeting will be running twice to bring in everyone around the world and will have different people and different segments. The goal is to bring all our members together, to exchange views and to come together to use our collective strength to address these critical issues and bring about a stronger and more secure Internet.
Please READ THIS POST from Internet Society President and CEO Kathy Brown for more information!
I’ll actually be in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, at the regional node there where I’ll be leading part of the global conversation about collaborative security and how we can all work together to make the Internet more secure. If you are there in Ottawa, I look forward to meeting you face-to-face. If you are online, I look forward to interacting with you. The topics we cover here on Deploy360 are all about making the Internet more secure and accessible… all key themes here in InterCommunity 2015!
Please join with us! It’s gonna be great!
P.S. What? You aren’t a member of the Internet Society? No worries… it’s free to join and become a member!

TDYR 256 – Watching The IPv4 River Run Dry… (Time To Move To IPv6!)
Goodbye IPv4 addresses in North America! I've been watching the countdown as the final days of IPv4 happen in North America... in this episode I talk about IPv4 as a river and how there will still be capacity in the river for a bit, but the source of the river is drying up - and now is the time to finally make the move to IPv6!

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!
