Max Resing<p>Last week was another stakeholder meeting on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DNS4EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DNS4EU</span></a>. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Whalebone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Whalebone</span></a> provided a short overview of the project including a timeline. Public launch is scheduled for June this year. The talk elaborates on various considerations of the new <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DNS</span></a> project. I was mostly interested in the deployment aspect, the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DDoS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DDoS</span></a> slides and the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/anonymization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anonymization</span></a> mechanisms.</p><p>My personal main concern with the project is the absence of resolver technology. The project plainly uses the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KnotDNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KnotDNS</span></a> resolver. Not a bad choice, but University taught me that diversity in the backend software introduces even more resiliency. Yet, as Whalebone is a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Czech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Czech</span></a> company, it is apparent why they chose <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KnotDNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KnotDNS</span></a> exclusively.</p><p>The <a href="https://142290803.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/142290803/PDF%20files/Workshop%20DNS4EU%20Public%20resolvers%20Slidedeck.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">slides</a> are public.</p>
