Secure DNS solutions

Presented at Black Hat USA 1999, July 7, 1999, 2:40 p.m. (60 minutes).

This talk will discuss the many security issues with DNS and what is being done to protect this vital infrastructure. Many standards have come out of the IETF recently that address the security problems that has always plagued DNS, and we will look at the standards themselves and then how they are being implemented.

DNS could probably be considered one of the most important infrastructure services on the Internet. Amazingly, in its current form, DNS is one of the most vulnerable for attack. A well thought out DNS attack could completely take a domain off the net, or just redirect them to someplace unintended.
