NIST DNS Security Workshop Call for Participation

["Scott Rose" <scottr@antd.nist.gov>]

This is an invitation to the NIST DNS Security workshop to be held on June 26 and 27 on NIST North Campus in Gaithersburg MD.  The goal of the workshop is to familiarize DNS administrators with new security extensions as they are present in BIND.  Our target audience are adminstrators and operators of .gov domains (including contractors).

 

This will be a "hands-on" workshop where participants will be setting up and running a secure DNS tree during the workshop.  The basic subject matter for the workshop will be:
 - introduction on the new DNS security extensions
 - how to secure a zone using the BIND 9 DNSSEC utilities
 - how to set up a secure server
 - how to secure zone transfers between servers

 

The workshop will be limited to 30 participants and cover two days.  Participants must have working knowledge of DNS and BIND DNS server software.  Participants must provide a computer with a network connection and capable of running BIND 9.X prior to the start of the workshop.
