DNS at IETF 112 by Geoff Huston

Virtual meetings continue in the IETF, and the latest one was IETF 112 in November. Here are notes from some selected Working Group meetings that caught my attention. And, yes, I should say at the outset that the DNS continues to catch a lot of my attention these days, so I’ll divide this report into DNS and the other topics. This is the DNS part.

The environmental opportunity of unused IPv4s

... Devices that use IPv4 to connect to the internet use less power than gadgets running on IPv6. A report by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has found, by comparing identical smartphones running on IPv4 and IPv6 respectively, that IPv6 requires roughly 5% more power to run. 5% may seem like a small amount, but when multiplied by a billion or two, that number becomes a significant energy expenditure.

Eine unkomplizierte Kommunikation über verschiedene Dienste hinweg gilt seit Langem als Steckenpferd von Ex-Bundesjustizministerin Katarina Barley, die mittlerweile für die SPD im EU-Parlament sitzt. Das Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) hatte jüngst in einem Papier zu "modernen Messengern" das von der Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) vorangetriebene MLS-Protokoll (Messaging Layer Security) ins Spiel gebracht. Dieses könnte demzufolge nach Abschluss des Standardisierungsverfahrens die gewünschte sichere Kommunikation zwischen unterschiedlichen Chat-Diensten ermöglichen. Das Bundeskartellamt veröffentlichte parallel ein "Stimmungsbild Interoperabilität".

La oportunidad medioambiental de los IPv4 no utilizados [The Environmental Opportunity of Unused IPv4]

... Los dispositivos que utilizan IPv4 para conectarse a Internet consumen menos energía que los dispositivos que se ejecutan en IPv6. Un informe del Grupo de trabajo de ingeniería de Internet (IETF) ha encontrado, al comparar teléfonos inteligentes idénticos que se ejecutan en IPv4 e IPv6 respectivamente, que IPv6 requiere aproximadamente un 5% más de energía para funcionar. El 5% puede parecer una cantidad pequeña, pero cuando se multiplica por mil millones o dos, ese número se convierte en un gasto energético significativo.

李星：互联网技术演进的回顾和思考 [Li Xing: Review and reflection on the evolution of Internet technology]

... NCP和Cyclades: 1972年，当时负责ARPANET的罗伯特·卡恩（Robert E. Kahn）在国际计算机通信大会（ICCC）上组织了一次非常成功的演示，首次向公众展示了ARPANET网络技术。此次展示引起广泛共鸣，于是，以美国ARPANET，英国NPL和法国Cyclades项目成员为主，成立了国际网络工作组（INWG），某种意义上，该工作组可以说是国际互联网工程任务组（IETF）的前身。1973年，互联网之父温顿·瑟夫（Vint Cerf）加入INWG，并成为主席。1974年，INWG形成了两个主要提案，一个是以美国ARPANET为主的INWG39，另一个是以欧洲Cyclades和NPL为主的INWG61。这两个方案都是基于无连接的分组交换技术。1975年，INWG形成了统一美国方案和欧洲方案的INWG96，并正式提交给当时的国际电报电话咨询委员会（CCITT，后与国际无线电咨询委员会中从事标准化工作的部分合并成为国际电报联盟ITU），但遭到拒绝。CCITT的主要论点是分组交换是可以接受的，但必须采用虚电路(Virtual Circuit)。温顿·瑟夫很生气，为此辞去主席一职。

Linux has a serious security problem that once again enables DNS cache poisoning

As much as 38 percent of the Internet’s domain name lookup servers are vulnerable to a new attack that allows hackers to send victims to maliciously spoofed addresses masquerading as legitimate domains, like bankofamerica.com or gmail.com.

The FIFA World Cup in Qatar is a ‘major cybersecurity risk’

In terms of the key cybersecurity events likely to unfold during 2022, Digital Journal caught up with Joanne Wong, VP of International Marketing at LogRhythm. Wong has turned his sights to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, in terms of the global sporting event being a major target for hackers.

Modern authentication in the hybrid working era

Remote working is not a new concept, but before 2020 it tended to be restricted to a limited selection of roles when it came to white-collar jobs. Aside from business trips, most workers were expected to be at their desks for business hours, with home working being the exception rather than the rule. ... The most effective way of replacing passwords is to implement the same asymmetric encryption used in Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS is best recognized as the lock that appears in the browser. It uses public/private key pairs and X.509 certificates to validate internet servers and set up a secure and private communications channel. This technique is used across the internet to secure trillions of dollars of online financial transactions daily.

The Current State of DNS Abuse Reporting by Graeme Bunton, Director of the DNS Abuse Institute

The DNS Abuse Institute (DNSAI) is currently developing a Centralized Abuse Reporting Tool (CART). This tool is intended to provide a single platform to report DNS Abuse by outlining the evidence requirements for each abuse type, properly formatting and enriching the request details provided, and then forwarding it to the appropriate registry or registrar. The goal is to standardize reliable processes to improve both the act of reporting abuse and the abuse reports that registrars and registries receive.

Smart Villages – Wasn’t That the Promise of the Internet? by Ekkehart Gerlach | Managing Director, german ict + media academy

“Infrastructure for the Global Village” (Al Gore) – or at least that was the idea in the early 90s – is above all geared towards high-level connectivity of rural regions with the big cities. This, according to early thinkers, would allow resources and skills to be brought from further afield to where they were needed in a much better way than with any other infrastructure such as roads, railways or rivers, and in a much more environmentally friendly, sustainable manner.

How to Design IoT Security From the Ground Up

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a powerful boon to business. But it also represents a massive potential expansion of the cybersecurity attack surface. So far, IoT inclusion in many organizations has been poorly organized, haphazard and poorly planned. This needs to change. After all, IT security depends on IoT security.

NEW TRANSPORT PROTOCOLS

**********************

Vulnerabilities show why STARTTLS should be avoided if possible

When email client applications communicate with mail servers, the protocols they use to communicate (POP3, IMAP and SMTP) support two ways of encrypting the connections with Transport Layer Security (TLS). Each protocol supports connections that are directly encrypted via TLS on a different port — 995 for POP3, 993 for IMAP and 465 for SMTP. Alternatively, the unencrypted variants of these protocols can be upgraded to encrypted connections via a mechanism called STARTTLS.

On Heterogeneous Computing by Vinton G. Cerf

One of the major challenges in the development of the Arpanet was solving the problem of communication between heterogeneous computers. In the late 1960s and 1970s, there were several computer makers and their machines had varying word lengths, binary coding schemes, instruction sets and a plethora of operating systems. The underlying homogeneous network of Interface Message Processors (IMPs), which we would call "routers" or "packet switches" today, offered a uniform interface to the heterogeneous "host" computers connected to the Arpanet. The Network Working Group, led by Stephen D. Crocker, solved the problem by the invention of the Network Control Protocol (NCP) and application protocols such as File Transfer and TELNET (remote terminal access). Coping with heterogeneity is a challenge. The Internet designers tackled the problem of interconnecting heterogeneous packet-switching networks using the TCP/IP Protocol Suite.

Trouble at the Source

Machine learning (ML), systems, especially deep neural networks, can find subtle patterns in large datasets that give them powerful capabilities in image classification, speech recognition, natural-language processing, and other tasks. Despite this power—or rather because of it—these systems can be led astray by hidden regularities in the datasets used to train them.

nl: 'Can we do without IPv4 yet?' News of our annual IPv6-only experiment

IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, the internet's original addressing system. The 'new' protocol has been around for quite a while, but transition from IPv4 to IPv6 has been a difficult process, about which we've often written in the past. Despite the difficulties, IPv6 continues to steadily gain ground, as confirmed by our periodic IPv6-only experiment, which went better than ever this year.
