Nominations Now Open for 2023 Internet Society Board of Trustees Elections

The Internet Society’s Nominations Committee is now inviting nominations for candidates to serve on the Internet Society Board of Trustees. If you or someone you know has the interest and qualifications to help guide the future of the Internet Society, please consider submitting a nomination. The Internet Society’s by-laws specify that a total of four trustees are to be selected each year by the Internet Society’s Chapters, Organization Members, and the IETF. The number for each community changes annually to maintain the board’s balance.

DNS at IGF 2022

I was invited to participate in a session at the 2022 Internet Governance Forum (IGF 2022) that was devoted to the workings of the DNS. I’d like to share my contribution to this session with my thoughts on where the DNS is headed. ... However, tampering with the DNS is not just a tool for bad actors and bad actions. Many regimes have used their regulatory and judicial powers to compel Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to actively censor the DNS by intercepting queries for certain DNS names and synthesizing a DNS response that claims that the name does not exist or misdirects the end user to a different service point. This is very widespread today. But perhaps more disturbing, at least for some members of the technical community (RFC 7258) that form the core of the IETF, was the Snowden revelations of 2013, which showed that the Internet was being used by a number of national agencies, including some US agencies, to perform mass surveillance. Everything that happens online starts with a call to the DNS. Everything. If I was able to observe your DNS query stream, then there are no secrets left for you. I really do know everything you are doing online and with whom!

International and Foreign Cyberspace Law Research Guide: covers resources on cyberspace law where issues encompass the Internet, cybercrime, privacy and ecommerce. Cyberspace law can incorporate aspects of comparative, international and foreign law

Introduction: The organic way in which the Internet has evolved is at once its greatest strength and its greatest weakness—making it highly flexible and scalable, but also vulnerable to security breaches. This section of the research guide addresses the ongoing debate as to whether the current decentralized, multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance is optimal and sustainable. It briefly profiles two key institutions: the IETF, a bottom-up open standards organization responsible for the development of network protocols and other technical standards; and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a more conventional, top-down entity that oversees the allocation of domain names and IP addresses. The guide also provides a selection of secondary sources and links to the websites of IGOs and NGOs that are actively engaged in the debate over the future of Internet governance.

Exploring The New Linkset IETF Specification

In July of 2022, the Internet Engineering Task Force, better known as the IETF, codified a new media type for link sets as part of their ongoing efforts to expand the IETF standards. This proposed standard, formerly called Linkset: Media Types and a Link Relation Type for Link Sets RFC 9264, has wide-reaching implications for APIs. The Linkset standard is co-authored by Erik Wilde and Herbert Van de Sompel and is an output of the Building Blocks for HTTP APIs working group.

Internet at a crossroads? The risk of fragmentation is real

... Along with other organizations such as the IETF, ICANN sets technical policies and standards to keep the Internet working and evolving. For example, the IETF has set thousands of standards that have kept the Internet evolving to keep up with the times, such as developing the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address when it was discovered that IPv4 addresses were not sufficient to provide a distinct address to every Internet device.

NIST Action Will Heat Up Post-Quantum Cryptography Market: Report

... NIST is not alone in preparing cryptography standards for the post-quantum era. “There is ongoing work in other standards bodies too — like IETF — to update secure message formats — like S/MIME email and code signing — and secure protocols — like TLS — to adopt PQC, which includes formalizing hybrid cryptographic data structures — like composite certificates — for those who don’t think they’re ready to put all their eggs in the post-quantum basket just yet,” Mabey said.

Network Management: How It Works and Why It’s Important

... Network management is the process of planning, designing and controlling network operations. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a standard network management protocol that allows administrators to monitor and manage devices on a network remotely. SNMP is a component of the Internet Protocol Suite, as defined by the IETF.

Software automation: The glue for open networks

... An open optical network demands a control system able to interface all its multi-vendor elements in a uniform manner; understand topology, connectivity, and status; and manage services from end to end. Such software relies on the existence of a reference control architecture as well as on standardised open APIs and data models, which are the frameworks that standards bodies and industry organisations have been developing to enable wide adoption of open networking. They include: ONFs SDN Architecture for Transport Networks, IETF’s Framework for Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN), and IETF’s framework for service automation, which define the basis for a hierarchical control architecture of open transport networks.

Colliding Communities, Cloud Native, and Telecommunications Standards

... What happens when an ecosystem driven from the bottom up collides with a community characterized by top-down development? The 5g broadband cellular network standard by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) standard by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and the Service Function Chain RFC (request for comments) by the IETF are examples of the telecommunication community’s methods for creating standards.

Our Internet, Our Future: Protecting the Internet for Today and Tomorrow

We have learned to count on the Internet as a critical constant, and today it’s hard to think of life without it. But as much as we need the Internet, the Internet also needs us. It needs all of us to help it grow, because at least 2.7 billion people still don’t have access, and to protect it against the increasing number of threats it faces.

Securing NTP against MITM attacks

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is one of the oldest Internet protocols that is still widely used. The protocol has no security mechanisms, communication is unencrypted, and there is no authentication between client and server or safeguards against manipulation of network packets. Attacks against NTP can have a serious impact because other protocols are dependent on the accuracy of the system time, such as DNSSEC, Kerberos, and TLS.

The carbon footprint of watching Netflix

... As we can see in the picture above, the video frames are delivered to us thanks to the streaming protocols. These protocols can be in the three layers of the OSI model: Application, Presentation and Session layer. Some examples are Adobe Real-Time Massaging Protocol (RTMP), MPEG-DASH, Apple HTTP Live Streaming Protocol (HLS), and the ever used, QUIC which is based on UDP and relies in the transport layer. Each of these protocols is suitable for certain types of video containers, i.e., MP4, which is broadly used because it is compatible with a wide range of devices. The protocols are also defined for specific video codecs, being H.264, H.265, and VP9 the most common.

[Podcast] The most important work in the Internet?

In this episode of PING, Geoff Huston talks through some of the presentations he heard (and gave) at the recent DNS-OARC 39 meeting held in Belgrade. DNS-OARC is the DNS Operations and Research Community, founded by the Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC) and the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) in 2004. As Geoff says in this podcast, DNS OARC is where the “DNS tragics” meet to discuss all things DNS, and it’s well worth the listen to capture a flavour of the meeting as Geoff saw it.

A faster way to preserve privacy online

... MIT researchers have now developed a scheme for private information retrieval that is about 30 times faster than other comparable methods. Their technique enables a user to search an online database without revealing their query to the server. Moreover, it is driven by a simple algorithm that would be easier to implement than the more complicated approaches from previous work.
