[SGVLUG] Reminder: SGVLUG Meeting this Thursday (01/14) -- DNSSEC

[Lan Dang]

Reminder.  Come if you're interested in DNSSEC, or come to give feedback to Carlos.  Spread the word.  See you soon.
Also, nobody called me on my copy/paste fail, for PRESENTER, which I fixed just now.  Sorry Carlos!  At least it was always right on Meetup and the sgvlug website.

Hi all,

We kick off the first SGVLUG meeting of the year with a preview of SGVLUG member Carlos Meza's DNSSEC talk, which he will be giving at SCALE 14x.  Come because you're interested in the topic, or come to support a LUG member and give him feedback about his talk.  It is aimed at everyone and seeks to convince you that you should be using DNSSEC and how you can start using it today.



Remember -- dinner at 7pm, presentation at 8pm. Parking can be annoying around that hour so come a little early.

TOPIC: DNSSEC
PRESENTER: Carlos Meza
LOCATION: Du-Par's Restaurant and Bakery

ABSTRACT:

 DNS (Domain Name System) is used by everyone who is a consumer of the Internet. It is a core component of the Internet, yet it is completely insecure. This puts us all at risk. DNSSEC offers a solution to address the vulnerabilities of DNS . For this reason I hope stir up demand and motivation to deploy DNSSEC. 

  We will go over the basic of DNS and its vulnerabilities. Then we will go over how DNSSEC works and the solution it provides. As users, we will look at why it is important for our safety to require that our service providers (ISPs, Registrars, Hosted Services (banking, commerce, etc)) provide DNSSEC. And we will also look at some user-end tools available to advantage of DNSSEC today. We will go over reasons why companies would want to make the effort and investment. For sysadmins, we will go over tools to aid with deployment and some considerations  to be aware of. 


WHOAMI:
•  Carlos has worked many years as a system administrator.•  His interest include InfoSec, site reliability and automation, and open source development 
• While volunteering as an Interop Team Member, he was introduced to the significance of DNSSEC.
