Abstract:

In this talk we highlight some of active developments taking
place in and around Internet infrastructure security, such as
securing the routing system with the RPKI, or enhancing privacy and
trust in naming with DNS over HTTPS and DNSSEC.  We also consider the
challenges presented by common abuse activity such as DDoS botnet
attacks.  A mix of real-world operational experience and research work
brought by the presenter form the basis of insights and views.
