Digging deep into DNS with Dan Kaminsky

Following up from our last talk with DNS inventor Dr. Paul Mockapteris, we're excited to have Dan Kaminsky (https://dankaminsky.com/) at the second part of our three part series of The Root Zone.

Gandi and CloudFlare have teamed up to spark more conversation on all things DNS.

Dan Kaminsky is an internationally respected technologist who has spent almost two decades protecting the Internet. He is is one of the seven "key shareholders" able to restore the Interet's Domain Name System (https://www.cloudflare.com/dnssec/root-signing-ceremony/) if necessary. Dan is known for his work in finding a core flaw (https://blog.cloudflare.com/dnssec-an-introduction/#kaminskysattack) in the Internet, and then leading the charge to repair it. An invited expert to the W3C (https://www.w3.org/), the guiding organization for the Web, he is co-founder and Chief Scientist of White Ops (http://www.whiteops.com), a cybersecurity firm.

We’ll cover how Dan discovered the Kaminsky attack (https://blog.cloudflare.com/dnssec-an-introduction/#kaminskysattack), the future of DNS and privacy, how to secure email with DNS, and what are the policy implications of governments allowing DNS blocking. It’s going to be a really great event - we can’t wait to see you there.

So come, grab a beer and a bite, and hang out with people who like DNS as much as you do.
