John gaat ons vertellen hoe een not-for-profit als Quad9, met een not-for-profit budget, het toch voor elkaar krijgt een wereldwijd anycasted public DNS resolver te maken en te draaien. Het geheim: "Avoid doing stuff". Omdat John een native English speaker is, de rest van deze aankondiging in het Engels.

Abstract

DNS Minimalism: Designing For As Little As Possible for As Much As Possible

Quad9 (9.9.9.9) is a free, anycasted, public, recursive DNS resolver, providing security services while maintaining high privacy. The service protects privacy by offering DNS over encrypted channels, like DNS over TLS, DNS over HTTPS and DNSCrypt, and not logging the IP address of users who set their computers to send queries to it. Quad9 is a not-for-profit organization.

Designing a network for tens of millions of users while remaining within a non-profit budget is a challenge. John will speak about what technical and design models Quad9 chose to pursue (and more importantly, what not to pursue) in order to obtain maximum privacy, standards compliance, policy compliance, and availability.

Biography

John Todd is the Executive Director of Quad9. Prior, he has held positions at Packet Clearing House (PCH) which is responsible for the construction and support of nearly half of the world's approximately 500 Internet exchange points (IXPs) and is one of the world’s largest authoritative DNS anycast arrays, as well as at more than a dozen commercial startups focused on IP network communications.

Across 30 years of involvement with the Internet, the consistent utility of --and work with-- the DNS led him to assist in the creation and ongoing operation of Quad9’s non-profit mission of privacy and security.
