DNSSEC Training Course/Tutorial

Wednesday 16th November 2011

Venue: Imperial Hotel, Russell Square, London WC1B 5BB

This one day tutorial is aimed at experienced or aspiring DNS administrators who want to learn about DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC). A basic knowledge of Unix and DNS is expected and required.

Topics covered include:

Who should attend? Those who use DNS and are considering deploying DNSSEC. Attendees should have some experience of running a BIND9 name server and be familiar with the jargon for resource records, as well as the syntax of zone files. We will discuss two quite different brands of name server for serving DNSSEC: BIND9 and PowerDNS.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptops (Unix/Linux recommended, but Windows OK) so that they can follow the practical exercises. We will set up an authoritative DNSSEC-signed zone and will configure an Unbound caching server to validate DNS queries.

Attendees will receive a complimentary hard copy of Alternative DNS Servers as part of the tutorial.

Tutor biography: Jan-Piet Mens is an independent consultant and sysadmin. He has authored the book Alternative DNS Servers as well as a variety of technical publications (http://mens.de)
