Hi,

Anyone going to Singapore ICANN and tech savvy enough to do a live demo on the 
steps required to setup a TLSA record and show the green light in a browser?  
This will give an idea to the participants (including me!) on the steps 
required to play with DANE at home :)

Also, a friendly reminder on the call for participation for the DNSSEC workshop 
at ICANN Singapore.

Let me know,

Jacques


5.  DANE and DNSSEC Applications

The DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) protocol is an exciting 
development where DNSSEC can be used to provide a strong additional trust layer 
for traditional SSL/TLS certificates. There is strong interest for DANE usage 
within web transactions as well as for securing email and Voice-over-IP (VoIP). 
We are seeking presentations on topics such as:

We would be particularly interested in any live demonstrations of DNSSEC / DANE 
applications and services.  For example, a demonstration of the actual process 
of setting up a site with a certificate stored in a TLSA record that correctly 
validates would be welcome.  Demonstrations of new tools that make the setup of 
DNSSEC or DANE more automated would also be welcome.

Call for Participation -- ICANN DNSSEC Workshop 26 March 2014

Happy New Year!  The DNSSEC Deployment Initiative and the Internet Society 
Deploy360 Programme, in cooperation with the ICANN Security and Stability 
Advisory Committee (SSAC), are planning a DNSSEC Workshop at the ICANN meeting 
in Singapore on 26 March 2014.  The DNSSEC Workshop has been a part of ICANN 
meetings for several years and has provided a forum for both experienced and 
new people to meet, present and discuss current and future DNSSEC deployments.  
For reference, the most recent session was held at the ICANN meeting in Buenos 
Aires, Argentina on 20 November 2013. The presentations and transcripts are 
available at: 
hhttp://buenosaires48.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-dnssec<http://durban47.icann.org/node/39749>.

We are seeking presentations on the following topics:

1.  DNSSEC Activities in the Asia Pacific region:

For this panel we are seeking participation from those who have been involved 
in DNSSEC deployment in the Asia Pacific region and also from those who have 
not deployed DNSSEC but who have a keen interest in the challenges and benefits 
of deployment.  In particular, we will consider the following questions:  What 
can DNSSEC do for you? What doesn't it do?  What are the internal tradeoffs to 
implementing DNSSEC?

2. The Operational Realities of Running DNSSEC

Now that DNSSEC has become an operational norm for many registries, registrars, 
and ISPs, what have we learned about how we manage DNSSEC? What is the best 
practice around key rollovers? How often do you review your disaster recovery 
procedures? Is there operational familiarity within your customer support 
teams? What operational statistics have we gathered about DNSSEC? Are there 
experiences being documented in the form of best practices, or something 
similar, for transfer of signed zones?

3.  Implementing DNSSEC Validation At Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) play a critical role by enabling DNSSEC 
validation for the caching DNS resolvers used by their customers.  We have now 
seen massive rollouts of DNSSEC validation within large North American ISPs and 
at ISPs around the world.  We are interested in presentations on topics such as:
* What does an ISP need to do to prepare its network for implementing DNSSEC 
validation?
* How does an ISP need to prepare its support staff and technical staff for the 
rollout of DNSSEC validation?
* What measurements are available about the degree of DNSSEC validation 
currently deployed?
* What tools are available to help an ISP deploy DNSSEC validation?
* What are the practical server-sizing impacts of enabling DNSSEC validation on 
ISP DNS Resolvers (ex. cost, memory, cpu, bandwidth, technical support, etc.)?

4.  DNSSEC and DANE In The Enterprise

Similar to ISPs, enterprises can play a critical role in both providing DNSSEC 
validation to their internal networks and also through signing of the 
enterprises's own domains. We are seeking presentations from enterprises who 
have implemented DNSSEC on either or both validation and signing and can 
address questions such as:
* What are the benefits to enterprises of rolling out DNSSEC validation? And 
how do they do so?
* What are the challenges to deployment for these organizations and how could 
DANE and other DNSSEC applications address those challenges?
* How should an enterprise best prepare its IT staff and network to implement 
DNSSEC?
* What tools and systems are available to assist enterprises in the deployment 
of DNSSEC?
* How can the DANE protocol be used within an enterprise to bring a higher 
level of security to transactions using SSL/TLS certificates?

5.  DANE and DNSSEC Applications

The DNS-based Authentication of Named Entitites (DANE) protocol is an exciting 
development where DNSSEC can be used to provide a strong additional trust layer 
for traditional SSL/TLS certificates. There is strong interest for DANE usage 
within web transactions as well as for securing email and Voice-over-IP (VoIP). 
We are seeking presentations on topics such as:
* What are some of the new and innovative uses of DANE and other DNSSEC 
applications in new areas or industries?
* What tools and services are now available that can support DANE usage?
* How soon could DANE and other DNSSEC applications become a deployable reality?
* How can the industry used DANE and other DNSSEC applications as a mechanism 
for creating a more secure Internet?

We would be particularly interested in any live demonstrations of DNSSEC / DANE 
applications and services.  For example, a demonstration of the actual process 
of setting up a site with a certificate stored in a TLSA record that correctly 
validates would be welcome.  Demonstrations of new tools that make the setup of 
DNSSEC or DANE more automated would also be welcome.

6.  When Unexpected DNSSEC Events Occur

What have we learned from some of the operational outages that we have seen 
over the past 18 months? Are there lessons that we can pass on to those just 
about to implement DNSSEC? How do you manage dissemination of information about 
the outage? What have you learned about communications planning? Do you have a 
route to ISPs and registrars? How do you liaise with your CERT community?

7.  Preparing for Root Key Rollover

For this topic we are seeking input on issues relating to root key rollover.  
In particular, we are seeking comments from vendors, ISPs, and the community 
that will be affected by distribution of new root keys.

8.  DNSSEC Automation

For DNSSEC to reach massive deployment levels it is clear that a higher level 
of automation is required than is currently available. Topics for which we 
would like to see presentations include:
* What tools, systems and services are available to help automate DNSSEC key 
management?
* Can you provide an analysis of current tools/services and identify gaps?
* Where in the various pieces that make up DNSSEC signing and validation are 
the best opportunities for automation?
* What are the costs and benefits of different approaches to automation?

9.  Guidance for Registrars in Supporting DNSSEC:

The 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) for Registrars and Resellers 
requires the support of DNSSEC beginning on January 1, 2014. We are seeking 
presentations discussing:
* What are the specific technical requirements of the RAA and how can 
registrars meet those requirements?
* What tools and systems are available for registrars that include DNSSEC 
support?
* What information do registrars need to provide to resellers and ultimately 
customers?

We are particularly interested in hearing from registrars who have signed the 
2013 RAA and have either already implemented DNSSEC support or have a plan for 
doing so.

10.  APIs Between the Registrars and DNS Hosting Operators

One specific area that has been identified as needing focus is the 
communication between registrars and DNS hosting operators, specifically when 
these functions are provided by different entities.  Right now the 
communication, such as the transfer of a DS record, occurs primarily by way of 
the domain name holder copying and pasting information from one web interface 
to another. How can this be automated?  We would welcome presentations  by 
either registrars or DNS hosting operators who have implemented APIs for the 
communication of DNSSEC information - or from people with ideas around how such 
APIs could be constructed.

In addition, we welcome suggestions for additional topics.

If you are interested in participating, please send a brief (1-2 sentence) 
description of your proposed presentation to 
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> by 
**Friday, 31 January 2014**

We hope that you can join us.

Thank you,

Julie Hedlund
