Hosting an Academic Day at your Institution
by Gergana Petrova 14 Oct '21

14 Oct '21

Dear all, I have a question for you. The RIPE NCC used to host in-person academic days on various topcs such as Internet 101, Routing, the RIPE Database, IPv6, RPKI, Internet Governance. With the current COVID restrictions we would like to move these online. Are any of your universities interested in such an online event? If so, can you support us by organising and spreading the word about the session and inviting students and we will deliver the content. Please let me know if you are interested. We can organise these relatively quickly. And if it does not work for you before summer, we can do it also in fall, regardless of the COVID situation. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Call for nominations: IRTF ANRP 2021
by Stephen D. Strowes 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hi all, At the moment we're half-way through two big events on the calendar, RIPE81 and IMC, which many of you are likely to be participating in. Many of you participate in other related communities. Nominations for the IRTF ANRP are open until November 22nd. If you've seen work that you think would benefit from greater exposure among practitioners, please consider nominating or reaching out to authors/supervisors to encourage *them* to nominate. More information below! Cheers, S. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- APPLIED NETWORKING RESEARCH PRIZE (ANRP) 2021 https://irtf.org/anrp/ ******************************************************************* *** Submit nominations for the 2021 award period of the *** *** Applied Networking Research Prize until November 22, 2020 *** *** *** *** (Please share this announcement with your colleagues.) *** ******************************************************************* The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded to recognise the best recent results in applied networking, interesting new research ideas of potential relevance to the Internet standards community, and upcoming people that are likely to have an impact on Internet standards and technologies, with a particular focus on cases where these people or ideas would not otherwise get much exposure or be able to participate in the discussion. We encourage nominations of researchers with relevant research results, interesting ideas, and new perspectives. The award will offer them the opportunity to present and discuss their work with the engineers, network operators, policy makers, and scientists that participate in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and its research arm, the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Both self- and third-party nominations for this prize are encouraged. The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) consists of: • a cash prize of $1000 (USD) • an invited talk at the IRTF Open Meeting • a travel grant to attend a week-long IETF meeting (airfare, hotel, registration, stipend - COVID-19 permitting) • recognition at the IETF plenary • an invitation to related social activities In addition, prize winners may be offered additional travel grants to attend future IETF and/or IRTF meetings. Such grants are made at the discretion of the award committee, based on community feedback, engagement with the community, and potential future impact. Applied Networking Research Prize awards are made once per calendar year. Each year, several winners will be chosen and invited to present their work at one of the three IETF meetings during the following year. # HOW TO NOMINATE Nominations are for a single author of an original, peer-reviewed, journal, conference or workshop paper that was recently published or accepted for publication. The nominee must be one of the main authors of the nominated paper. Both self-nominations (nominating one’s own paper) and third-party nominations (nominating someone else’s paper) are encouraged. The nominated paper should provide a scientific foundation for possible future engineering work in the IETF, or research and experimentation in the IRTF. It should analyse the behaviour of Internet protocols in operational deployments or realistic testbeds, make an important contribution to the understanding of Internet scalability, performance, reliability, security or capability, or otherwise be of relevance to ongoing or future IETF or IRTF activities. Nominations must briefly describe how the nominated paper relates to these goals. They should describe how involving the nominee in the IETF and IRTF process, and bringing them to an IETF meeting, would help to foster the transition of the results and/or ideas into new IETF engineering work or IRTF experimentation, or otherwise seed new activities that will have an impact on the real-world Internet. The goal of the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is to foster the transitioning of research results into real-world benefits for the Internet. Therefore, applicants must indicate that they (or the nominee, in case of third-party nominations) are available to attend at least one of the IETF meetings in the following year. In-person attendance is desirable, where possible, but due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remote participation options will be available for ANRP prize winners at all IETF meetings in 2021. Nominations are submitted via https://irtf.org/anrp/ and must include: • the name and email address of the nominee; • a bibliographic reference to the published (or accepted) nominated paper; • a PDF copy of the nominated paper; • a statement that describes how the nominated paper fulfills the goals of the award and how the nominee would engage with the IETF and/or IRTF community; • a statement of the nominees availability to present their work at the IETF meetings in during 2021; • a statement that the nominee accepts that the IRTF Intellectual Property Rights disclosure rules will apply to their award talk at the IRTF open meeting; • a brief biography or CV for the nominee; and • optionally, any other supporting information (link to nominee’s web site, etc.) All nominees will be notified by email about the decision regarding their nomination. Nominations for the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) are not considered to be contributions to the IETF or IRTF. However, the invited talks at the IRTF Open Meeting are considered to be contributions and the IRTF Intellectual Property Rights disclosure rules apply. # IMPORTANT DATES Applications close: November 22, 2020 (hard) Notifications: December 18, 2020 # SPONSORS The Applied Networking Research Prize is supported by the Internet Society in coordination with the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Additional corporate sponsorship is kindly provided by Comcast and NBC Universal. If your organisation would like to support the ANRP, please contact anrp(a)irtf.org. sstrowes@sstrowes-pro:/tmp$

Survey - the costs of authentication rules
by Hazel Murray 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Dear all, I am Hazel Murray, a final year PhD student from Ireland. I am studying password security and authentication. In my research I am measuring the trade-off that exists between the costs and benefits of securing authentication systems. Myself and my supervisor, Prof. David Malone, are carrying out a survey aimed at system administrators, IT services staff and anyone in charge of security and authentication for an organisation. The survey is investigating the time and costs that are associated with enforcing different authentication rules. Would anyone be able to complete this 10 minute survey please: https://www.hamilton.ie/cgibin/admin-survey.pl Also feel free to circulate it to anyone you think might be interested. We do also have a second survey exploring burdens on users which is here if you are interested: https://www.hamilton.ie/cgibin/user-survey.pl If you have any questions, feel free to contact me: hazel.murray(a)mu.ie<mailto:hazel.murray@mu.ie>. Thank you. Kind regards, Hazel Murray Maynooth University Hamilton Institute Irish Research Council Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholar Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland.
