IETF IN THE NEWS

**********************

The IETF has approved a new Internet standard. Its co-author is Libor Peltan from CZ.NIC

Libor Peltan, the programmer involved in the development of the Knot DNS authoritative server, is a co-author of a new Internet standard (RFC 9432) released this month by the IETF. RFC 9432 describes a method for transferring a set of configured DNS zones between primary and secondary authoritative DNS servers using so-called Catalog Zones.

< <https://www.nic.cz/page/4384/the-ietf-has-approved-a-new-internet-standard-its-co-author-is-libor-peltan-from-cznic/> https://www.nic.cz/page/4384/the-ietf-has-approved-a-new-internet-standard-its-co-author-is-libor-peltan-from-cznic/>

 

RFC 9432: DNS Catalog zones

A DNS zone is usually served by multiple authoritative servers, which is actually recommended for the sake of redundancy. Large authoritative DNS operators even combine different name server implementations to avoid complete infrastructure outage in case of any software error.

DNSOP at IETF 117

After the flurry of work in various aspects of DNS privacy, the IETF’s agenda for DNS has shifted towards more maintenance and update. This does not mean that the volume of work has abated in any way, but it has dropped the more focused stance of previous meetings.

Integrated Internet Internationalism

... Traditional internet governance: Slow and stable: The loose coalition of multistakeholder forums that govern the diverse spaces within the global internet are generally united in their vision for the internet. Decentralisation, stability, and interoperability are guiding principles for the dominant players of traditional internet governance, which are split between technically focused bodies such as ICANN and the IETF, and more socially focused bodies such as the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and the Internet Society (ISOC). Designed to have no central point of control, like the internet itself, these organisations are structured across similar levels of distribution that are focused on the maintenance, expansion, and evolution of the network and are critical to preserving the global, interoperable internet.

A Call to Action: Bolster UEFI Cybersecurity Now: Improve vendor cybersecurity, mature security teams, and operationalize security by design

Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a critical software standard in modern computing, yet most people have never heard of it. UEFI is essential to most computers; it replaces the legacy BIOS format, serving as an interface between hardware and operating systems. Attackers have exploited UEFI implementation flaws to gain persistence– that is, the ability to maintain access to a compromised system despite system resets and defensive actions.

Enterprises, Connectivity Providers, and Governments Must Work Together to Increase Routing Security

For most of us, the Internet works with a flick of a power switch and a click of a browser or app – we don’t really have to think about how it works or do much to make it work. This set-it-and-forget-it mentality filters down to the standards and protocols that make up the Internet, such as routing security. But we all have a responsibility to work together to prevent incidents like BGP hijacks, BGP leaks, and IP spoofing that wreak havoc on the Internet.

Wi-Fi Boosts New, Ultrafast Li-Fi Standards: Complementary tech for Wi-Fi devices operates in sunlight, beyond line-of-sight

Just as Wi-Fi uses radio signals to encode information, Li-Fi relies on light for incredibly fast data rates. Now a new IEEE standard for Li-Fi based off the IEEE standard for Wi-Fi (802.11) may help it expand across the globe as Wi-Fi has, with the new devices complementing instead of competing with the more established technology.
