Matt Larson, Verisign

Matt Larson is Vice President of DNS Research in Verisign Labs, where he works as a specialist in DNS protocol and operational issues. He is an active participant in the wider DNS community and the co-author of three O'Reilly & Associates Nutshell Handbooks ("DNS on Windows Server 2003", "DNS on Windows 2000" and "DNS on Windows NT"). He also co-authored the core DNSSEC standards documents: RFCs 4033, 4034 and 4035.
Abstract: This session is a brief introduction to DNSSEC and how it works. We'll discuss the motivations for its creation, what it does (and doesn't do), and how it works. We'll describe the new DNS resource records used by DNSSEC and how a DNSSEC validator uses them to verify the authenticity and integrity of DNS data.
Basic knowledge of how DNS itself works is helpful but not strictly required.
