Description
Whether tryingly complex implementation and maintenance or downright breakages, DNSSEC related nuisances are a given.
This talk wants to give a light-hearted take on DNSSEC’s failures, deserved and undeserved, by:
• sketching how severely image has impacted DNSSEC deployment – all the more so because the tech community’s self-perception as a fact-driven body has made it oblivious to this exact possibility: namely, that something as irrational as image could outweigh facts in the community’s perception of a given security feature,
• briefly reflecting on how the image issue at hand could be tackled, and finally,
• hinting at what that means for the ongoing and renewed effort to pull DNSSEC out of the swamp.
