Announcement DNSSec Training Course
by RIPE NCC Training 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

------- Dear Colleagues, [apologies for duplicate postings] As a service to its members the RIPE NCC offers the DNSSec Training Course. The main objective of the DNSSec Training Course is to provide LIRs with sufficient background to be able to deploy DNSSec in their own organisation as soon as the protocol is standardised. This course also explains the specific procedures set up by the RIPE NCC to to secure the in-addr.arpa zone. The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the main parts of the Internet infrastructure. At the moment DNS lacks a mechanism to establish the authenticity and integrity of the data it provides. DNSSec is a set of extensions to provide this end-to-end authenticity and integrity. It is currently being developed within the IETF dnsnext Working Group. The protocol is about to be finalised and the code implementing the protocol is available in alpha releases. The DNSSec course consists of two parts: an "Introduction to DNSSec" and a real life demonstration. The "Introduction to DNSSec" will cover: - DNS security threats - DNSSec security mechanisms - DNSSec server protection - DNSSec data protection - Delegation issues - Key management issues - Current developments Examples are based on the BIND name server. Please note that DNSSec is an advanced course. It will: - NOT teach the basics of DNS. - NOT describe how to receive Internet resources from the RIPE NCC not describe how to operate a Local Internet Registry (LIR) The target audience of the course are technical staff of LIRs: e.g. network & system operators, engineers, etc. This course is not intended for administrative or management staff (e.g. Hostmasters). It is assumed that all attendees are familiar with common DNS terminology, have a practical knowledge in operating DNS servers and are interested in learning the concepts and mechanisms that DNSSec offers. The DNSSec course is conducted in the English language and is free of charge, since it is covered by the membership fee. More information about the DNSSec Training Course can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/training/dnssec/ REGISTRATION: You can register for a course at the following URL: http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/trainingform.pl.cgi Or by completing the registration form at the end of this e-mail and replying to <training(a)ripe.net> In order to register for a DNSSec Training Course you must be an employee of an LIR and either : - be an LIR contact - be confirmed by an LIR contact. LIR contacts are those employees of an LIR who are registered with the RIPE NCC as authoritative contact persons. It is expected that most of those interested in the DNSSec Training Course will not be an authorative contact persons for their LIR, and therefore will be refused by the course registration "robot".
