The Domain Name System is a vital component of the internet infrastructure and required for both security and basic functionality. Recently, a variety of conflict points have emerged that include but are not limited to (geo)political shifts and disagreements, a lack of clarity over abuse fighting, and issues of architectural and technical nature. For example, while DNS Security Extensions have not been deployed across the board, the key rollover has been delayed. More generally, When such an essential infrastructure is evolving, it is an important question who is making the critical decisions, and also who will be left behind. Taking on board this host of challenges to the nature of the DNS, this session discusses if the system can continue to exist in its current form, and reviews scenarios of how it may develop in the future.
Keywords
DNS, Domain Name System, DNS Abuse, Domains, ICANN, DNS Security, DNS Privacy.
Session description
The session will focus on discussing what works and does not work when it comes to the DNS at this point in time. There will be a focus on what should change technologically or in terms of policy to keep the DNS functioning in the future. For example, with many records likely disappearing due to GDPR, how will abuse-fighters identify criminal actors?
