"DNSSEC - Transforming a protocol bug into an admin tool" - Lutz Donnerhacke

This talk gives an overview over the reasons for DNSSEC and the protocol implementation for the viewpoint of a DNS admin. Topics include the architecture of the signing and the validating side, the trust model, and applications for the day to day business of an admin - for example a central SSH key repository in DNS.

"DNS - The good, the bad and the ugly" - Ralf Weber

DNS used to be a simple lookup mechanism which slowly transforms into something different: DNSSEC introduced a verification method, there are intelligent filters that should protect users from viruses, trojans and bot. Or in the case of government-driven DNS blacklists prevents users from accessing blocked websites.
Which of those methods are good, which are bad, and which are plain evil?

"Podiumsdiskussion DNSSEC" - Lutz Donnerhacke, Ralf Weber

The root zone will be signed within this year. DNSSEC testbeds are popping up all over the world, some are actually using DNSSEC in a productive environment.
Is this the big breakthrough for DNSSEC? And what are the consequences of DNS based blacklists on a widespread DNSSEC rollout?
