KEYNOTE 2: The War for Control of DNS Encryption
November 19th @ 12:00 (GMT +4) // HITB Main Track
Abstract
Pervasive monitoring of the Internet by both government, corporate, and criminal actors has triggered an encryption wavefront as wide as the Internet itself. DNS, as the map of the Internet’s territory, is seen as especially sensitive and there are now several competing encryption standards waiting to be deployed. In this short talk, Dr. Vixie will explain the original problem, describe the protocol-level solutions, and then show how vendors like Google, Mozilla Corporation, Microsoft, and Apple are deploying these technologies across their product lines. Opinions may also be offered.
