Agenda:

An Empirical View of DNS Complexity and Security 
by Mark Allman
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a crucial piece of the Internet's
fabric, charged with mapping human-friendly names into network
addresses.  This talk highlights several recent projects that
aim to explore and understand how the modern DNS ecosystem has
organically developed.  We will first tackle the complexity of
the system and then illustrate how that complexity causes
potential security vulnerabilities.  Finally, we will briefly
sketch several possible mitigations to these security issues 
- which is the subject of ongoing work.
