in Amsterdam, The Netherlands is now available at:

This will be held at the same location the subsequent RIPE70 meeting,
and we're grateful to SIDN, Verisign and Nominum for being our sponsors
this time.

The theme for this workshop is DDoS attack report and mitigation
techniques, and we have a range of talks on this topic, including on
attack experiences and side-effects, and countermeasures against
random subdomain attacks.

We also have various DNSSEC talks, looking at the effects of increasing
the root Zone KSK size, on-the-fly signing, and use of ECDSA crypto in
practice, as well as several new DNS tool presentations.

A big thank you to our speakers and programme committee for putting
another full and high-quality agenda together.
