DNS root servers are deployed using multiple globally distributed anycast instances, and the scale of instances across the globe has been rapidly growing. We introduce a measurement study that investigates the practical effect of root server instances deployed in the Chinese mainland. Our analysis of this issue includes two-fold.

This session will explore recent emerging technologies and discuss their potential impacts on the Domain Name System (DNS). Speakers will provide an overview on the evolving discussions of alternate namespaces (e.g. handshake and unstoppable domains), as well as possible interconnectivities across namespaces. The session will also explore how and when quantum computers will affect Internet security and privacy, and current steps taken to mitigate these effects.

The purpose of this panel is to discuss the state of DNS abuse in the APAC region, with a particular emphasis on how the local experience might differ from other regions. We’ll look at the gaps in education and tools for the APAC community, while also discussing potential avenues to collaborate and innovate together.
