The UKNOF Professional Training Series kicks off with a course on The Technical and Business Considerations for Secure DNS Deployment.

The course takes place immediately after the second and final session of UKNOF32 (http://uknof.uk/32) on Thursday 17 September, beginning at 2pm BST.

Max number of delegates: Limited to 25 people

Who should attend?

Anyone interested in Secure DNS (DNSSEC) or planning to deploy it.

Overview

The course will provide a description of Secure DNS, the technology and how it works. It will show how to configure popular DNS server implementations to use DNSSEC for signing and validating DNS data. An overview of the tools to support these activities will be given, along with some guidance on how to do DNSSEC troubleshooting.

The course will also describe the impact of DNSSEC on existing network infrastructure and DNS operations and how these may need to be reviewed and changed: procedures, customer support and helpdesk issues, provisioning systems, middleware and so on. Advice on how to prepare for DNSSEC deployment will also be given: checklists, testing, documentation, migration schemes and key management considerations.

The course will be delivered by industry veteran and DNS expert, Jim Reid (RTFM LLP)

Requirements

A modest understanding of the DNS concepts - resource records, zones, resolving and authoritative nameservers, etc - and some familiarity with administration of DNS servers and their configuration files. A basic appreciation of public-key cryptography may be helpful.
