DNS Operation and DNSSEC Workshop, Egypt,27th - 30th July,2015 |
|
| Intended Audience |
This course is designed for network engineers, systems administrators, and anyone who is involved in
managing DNS operations |
|
| Course Overview |
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical part of Internet infrastructure and the largest distributed
Internet directory service. DNS translates names to IP addresses, a required process for web navigation,
email delivery, and other Internet functions. However, the DNS infrastructure is not secure enough unless the
security mechanisms such as Transaction Signatures (TSIG) and DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) are
implemented. To guarantee the availability and the secure Internet services, it is important for networking
professionals to understand DNS concepts, DNS Security, configurations, and operations.
This course will discuss the concept of DNS Operations in detail, mechanisms to authenticate the
communication between DNS Servers, mechanisms to establish authenticity, and integrity of DNS data and
mechanisms to delegate trust to public keys of third parties. Participant will be involved in Lab exercises and
do configurations based on number of scenarios..
