(DNS EASY 2011)

A joined event GCSEC - ICANN - DNS-OARC

SCOPE

The Domain Name System is the core of the Internet infrastructure.
With the increasing dependency on ICT of Critical Infrastructures
(CIs) control and governance, DNS started to indirectly play a
relevant role also in the daily life of the citizen, and for that
reason must be considered by itself a critical infrastructure.

Under this light, GCSEC, in cooperation with ICANN and DNS-OARC,
organizes the 2011 Workshop on DNS health and Security (DNS
EASY-2011). The DNS-EASY workshop aims at bringing together
researchers and professionals from academia, industry and governmental
Agencies as well as representatives from across DNS ecosystem
stakeholder groups (technical development, network operators,
enterprise users, and security experts) to discuss all different
aspects of the DNS Health and Security and its impact on the modern
society.

The workshop is organized in two parts. The first, for freely
attendance, is devoted to research results, R&D results and industrial
experiences presentations. The second part, for invitation only, will
be related to the discussion of operational and policy open issues and
challenging related to the DNS health and security. Scientific
contributions will be a precious input and could be used to drive
discussions in the second part of the workshop.

Authors are solicited to contribute to the Workshop by submitting
research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D project results,
surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant
advances in the following areas:

? DNS Security, Resilience, Stability and Performance metrics (DNS
Health).
? DNS Infrastructure resilience and QoS
? DNS Cyber Threats and Vulnerabilities
? DNS Defense
? DNS and Cybercrime
? Impact of DNS on Critical Infrastructures (Energy Systems, Finance
etc.)
? DNSSEC (all aspects)
? DNS Infrastructure Modeling & Simulation
? DNS Operations Vs DNS Health and Security
? DNS Governance Vs DNS Health and Security
