E-mail address masquerading for archived mail messages
by RIPE NCC WebMaster 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

Dear Colleagues, [Apologies for duplicate mails] Beginning today, 16 August, the RIPE NCC will implement "e-mail address masquerading" for messages displayed on the web site in the RIPE and the RIPE NCC mailing list archives. E-mail masquerading makes it more difficult for spammers to harvest e-mail addresses from the mailing list archives. When masquerading is applied, the e-mail address of the sender will be hidden in the mail archived messages. Those reading archived mail will see a return e-mail address that appears as "<somebody@localhost>". When clicking on this e-mail address, the address of the original sender will be loaded in your mail program, enabling you to send a message to the author. The RIPE NCC has chosen to implement this security measure as there have been various complaints from members of the RIPE community that e-mail addresses were being abused by spammers for Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE). By implementing this security measure we anticipate there will be a sharp reduction to address harvesting of archived e-mail addresses. We will be checking for harvesters who manage to overcome this measure and will take further steps if necessary. E-mail masquerading will be applied to all mailing lists found in the following directories: http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mail-archives/ http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/ We appreciate your understanding on this matter. Regards Jeroen Bet RIPE NCC WEBMASTER ==================

DNS is trusted by many end-users to give correct results. At the moment, however, DNS lacks a mechanism to establish the authenticity and integrity of the data it provides. DNSSEC is a set of extensions to provide end-to-end authenticity and integrity. This introduction will cover. - DNS security threats; - DNSSEC security mechanisms; + DNSSEC server protection; + DNSSEC data protection; - Delegation issues; - Key management issues; - Current developments; The DNSSEC introduction is intended for those who are familiar with common DNS terminology and are interested in learning about the concepts and mechanisms that DNSSEC offers. Our goal is to provide participants with sufficient background to be able to deploy DNSSEC in their own organization. Examples are based on the BIND name server.
