Hello,

Apologies for cross posting;

There is a discussion on going about securing the DNS at the IETF-75
meeting.

<snip>

The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the critical operational elements of
the Internet, creating a “human environment” that allows names to be mapped
to host addresses across the Internet. But the DNS was established with no
inherent security  mechanisms, making it vulnerable to certain malicious
activities, such as DNS spoofing, where attackers make false assertions
about DNS data in order to misdirect traffic to unwanted sites.

You can catch the live audio stream now which will be available later on for
download.
