                       DNSSEC Course
                      Final Announcement

This mail was already sent to both the lir and the techsec-wg mailing
list. We forgot to include the most obvious target group:
dns-wg. Excuse us for possible receipt of multiple copies.

The RIPE NCC will be organising a DNSSEC course
 
The course will be held in Prague on the Monday after the RIPE
Meeting, October 8: 9 am to 5 pm.
 
The goal of the course is familiarise the participants with DNSSEC
so they can maintain their own secured zone and to identify current
difficulties in deployment and possible future directions.
 
To be able to run the program in a day we expect the participants
 + being able to administer DNS zone files with bind;
 + to bring their own dummy zone to experiment with;
 + to bring a laptop running the latest version of bind;
 + being able to patch bind software if needed;


About a week before the course, you will receive a homework
assignment.  This will take about an hour to complete and has to be
done in advance, so that during the course little time will be wasted
on configuration issues.

The course will consists of two parts: an introduction to DNSSEC and
a hands-on part. The hands-on part will cover:
 + securing zone transfers using TSIG
 + generating zone keys and signing zones
 + securing 'corporate' sites with DNSSEC
 + establishing a chain of trust
 + key-exchange and rollover


The RIPE NCC does not charge for this course but the amount of
participants will be limited to 25 persons. If the interest in the
course exceeds the number of available places a selection will be made
based on first come first serve basis and by limiting the amount of
participants from one affiliation.

To register please fill in the form below and mail it to
disi-ws at ripe.net, use subject header: "[DNSSEC RIPE40]
Registration". Please, do not reply to the mailinglists.

Finally, the RIPE NCC plans to repeat this course on a regular basis
in 2002, so if your application for this event is rejected, there will
be ample opportunities to take the course at a later time.
