Hats Off to the DNS Security Facilitation Initiative TSG for Exceptional Report by Göran Marby

In May 2020, I established the Domain Name System Security Facilitation Initiative Technical Study Group (DSFI-TSG) in response to significant attacks on the DNS, such as the Sea Turtle hijacking and the DNSpionage. The group was chartered to investigate potential mechanisms to strengthen collaboration and communication on the security and stability issues that impact the DNS, and to offer recommendations for how ICANN org may best serve to improve the security, stability, and resiliency of the global DNS.

DDoS attacks on the rise — using powerful new techniques

us: Enabling the Cooperative Ecosystem by Adam Montville Chief Product Architect, Security Best Practices for the Center for Internet Security

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has a mission to improve the actual practice of cyber defense, and we do this, in part, by ensuring that our best practice recommendations (in the form of CIS Benchmarks recommendations and CIS Controls Safeguards) track clear and transparent measures of security value for our users. Most recently, we've embarked on the journey of mapping our various recommendations to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and this has exemplified a challenge that has existed in cybersecurity for some time: a lack of normalization across different cybersecurity disciplines.

DNSSEC with RSA-4096 keys by Geoff Huston and João Damas 

Let’s look at the operation of DNSSEC and its use of public key cryptographic algorithms. The DNSSEC specification does not define in advance which algorithm you should use to generate the digital signature records for a DNSSEC-signed zone. And that's a very good thing. The issue here is that cryptographic algorithms do not generate computationally impossible problems.

ETSI releases test specification to comply with world-leading Consumer IoT Security standard

ETSI has released the test specification for the existing ETSI EN 303 645, the world leading consumer IoT security standard. This test specification, ETSI TS 103 701, describes how a conformity assessment is performed in a structured and comprehensive way. This will allow supplier organizations such as manufacturers, vendors or distributers to assess the compliance of their devices against ETSI ETSI EN 303 645 in self-assessments or via testing labs. User organizations can also apply the test specification for in-house testing.

The Facebook Outage Also Highlights the Internet’s Aging Foundations by Emily Taylor

Facebook had a week from hell last week, even without the testimony to Congress of whistleblower Frances Haugen. Two separate technical outages knocked out its entire suite of services—Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Oculus and Instagram. The incident highlights the fragility that a massive consolidation of resources brings to the global information and communications network, caused by the emergence of supernodes such as Facebook and its Big Tech rivals. It also reveals the disparity of public debate surrounding social media platforms on one hand and the internet’s foundational protocols on the other. (In the interests of transparency, Facebook is a client of my company, Oxford Information Labs, but the information in this piece is derived only from public sources.)

Can the DNS support encryption without enabling centralization?

DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) improve the privacy of DNS queries and responses. While encryption is a positive thing, deployment of these protocols has, in some cases, resulted in further centralization of the DNS, introducing new challenges. In particular, centralization has consequences for performance, privacy, and availability. A potentially greater concern is that it has become more difficult for clients to control their choice of recursive resolver, particularly for IoT devices.
