Standard Presentation Online Workshop OARC 36 Day 2

Speaker

Description

IN this presentation we motivate why there is a need to consider using larger keys for RWSA in the context of DNSSEC. We then describe a measurement experiment that looks at the success rate of using 4,096 bit signing keys in DNSSEC. We conclude with some thoughts as to the option between using ECDSA P-256 and RSA-4096 to counter the potential threat of quantum computing to this form of application of cryptography.
