Morning all.
InTAC conference to be held again on the 9th of July in Auckland.
The participants at last years conference gave plenty of feedback as to the directions that they wanted to see the Internet within New Zealand take.
Feedback was that there needed to be more focus on the following areas:
. Technical issues relating to the security of the infrastructure of the New Zealand Internet
. Technical mechanisms to assist in the development of more appropriate Authentication, Identity and Trust systems relating to the use of the Internet
. Technical ways to ensure the Future-proofing the infrastructure of the New Zealand Internet.
What I'm suggesting for InTAC this year is the following structure...
Welcome 45 Min - On DNSSEC 45 Min - On RPKI Morning Tea 45 Min - On Identity and trust online 45 Min - On Authentication (federated signon, 2fa, lockers) Lunch 45 Min - On SDN 45 Min - On UFB Afternoon Tea Open discussion Networking Drinks
Does anyone have any feedback before I look to secure topic speakers and make it a real thing?
Dean, This looks fantastic, as I’m sure you can imagine given my rant after the last one. I like the exclusion of IPv6 specific talks - lets keep it that way. Let’s make sure that we are very clear to attendees that this is a technical architecture meeting. The identity and trust bit somewhat worries me, but, if you stick “from a network architecture perspective” on the end, or merge it in to the authentication section, then we cool. I’m not sure we can fill 45 mins with RPKI. DNSSEC might be possible to fill 45 mins with - let’s see. I think this is a good outline - lets not leave it set in stone of course. Great work! -- Nathan Ward
