DNS Privacy & IPv6 Security @ APTLD 75

By Kevin MeynellFormer Senior Manager, Technical and Operational Engagement

The Internet Society will be actively contributing to the APTLD 75 meeting on 20-21 February 2019 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Our colleague Jan Žorž will not only be presenting on DNS-over-TLS (DoT) and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) during the DNS Operations, Security, and Privacy session (20 February, 11.30-12.30 UTC+4), but will then be presenting on IPv6 connectivity issues during the Security in IPv6-enabled TLDs session (20 February, 14.30-15.30 UTC+4).

He’ll be in good company in what’s shaping up to be a great programme featuring a number of DNS luminaries covering technical, policy, internationalisation and data protection issues, as well as abuse handling and registry and registrar training. Other sessions of particular interest include 5G mobile networks, the implications of Alternative DNS Root Servers, and emerging trends in the DNS.

The Asia-Pacific Top-Level Domain (APTLD) Association is a non-profit organisation of ccTLD (Country Code Top-Level Domains) registries in the Asia-Pacific region that was founded in 1998. It organises two meetings each year for its members, with APTLD 75 being held in conjunction with the 6th Middle East DNS Forum.

If you’re interested in attending then you can register at http://www.aptld75.ae/reg/end.php
