12 Mar '10

It would be highly appreciated if you could share this announcement with your colleagues, students and individuals whose research is in information security, cryptography, privacy, and related areas. Call for papers: ISP-10, USA, July 2010 The 2010 International Conference on Information Security and Privacy (ISP-10) (website: http://www.PromoteResearch.org<http://www.promoteresearch.org/>) will be held during 12-14 of July 2010 in Orlando, FL, USA. ISP is an important event in the areas of information security, privacy, cryptography and related topics. The conference will be held at the same time and location where several other major international conferences will be taking place. The conference will be held as part of 2010 multi-conference (MULTICONF-10). MULTICONF-10 will be held during July 12-14, 2010 in Orlando, Florida, USA. The primary goal of MULTICONF is to promote research and developmental activities in computer science, information technology, control engineering, and related fields. Another goal is to promote the dissemination of research to a multidisciplinary audience and to facilitate communication among researchers, developers, practitioners in different fields. The following conferences are planned to be organized as part of MULTICONF-10. • International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition (AIPR-10) • International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Control Systems (ARCS-10) • International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics and Chemoinformatics (BCBGC-10) • International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (CCN-10) • International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems and Web Technologies (EISWT-10) • International Conference on High Performance Computing Systems (HPCS-10) • International Conference on Information Security and Privacy (ISP-10) • International Conference on Image and Video Processing and Computer Vision (IVPCV-10) • International Conference on Software Engineering Theory and Practice (SETP-10) • International Conference on Theoretical and Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (TMFCS-10) MULTICONF-10 will be held at Imperial Swan Hotel and Suites. It is a full-service resort that puts you in the middle of the fun! Located 1/2 block south of the famed International Drive, the hotel is just minutes from great entertainment like Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal Studios and Sea World Orlando. Guests can enjoy free scheduled transportation to these theme parks, as well as spacious accommodations, outdoor pools and on-site dining — all situated on 10 tropically landscaped acres.

The trick is then to have the right tools to manage and monitor it. The interesting thing about printers is that even quite low end network printers (like the HP Laserjet I have) have had IPv6 for quite a while. You can even configure DHCPv6 on the one I'm using. Just look for capabilities/features as you refresh equipment and it makes things that little easier.

Need advise for a linux firewall
by Abdul Nazeer 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Looking for advise on setting up a linux based dedicated firewall. Apparently, there are plenty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_router_or_firewall_distributions I'm looking to have the firewall sit in front of a public network of windows boxes. Also, would want to be able to load-balance and re-shape traffic inside the network. I was hoping to accomplish this using iptables, but if anyone has any other suggestion, I'd love to hear it. Thanks! Abdul Nazeer

ethernet to serial converters with ACLs
by Michael Holstein 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Can anyone recommend a cheap Ethernet to Serial (RS232/422/485) converter with functionality like the Lantronix boxes .. except one that supports access lists (nothing complicated .. maybe a list of 5 approved hosts). I need a bunch of single port devices, not an access-server for a rack. I could build one out of a Pogoplug + USB/serial dongle .. (~$120 total) but would rather not re-invent the wheel. All the "secure" ones I see involve encrypting com port redirectors for the host PC .. I don't care about encrypting data in flight, I just want to restrict who can connect to the COM port on the other side of the IP device. It needs to work like the Lantronics ones do (take tcp/(port) and spit it out as rs232). Thanks, Michael Holstein Cleveland State University

Wireless Ethernet bridge
by Stefano Gridelli 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hi All, I need a wireless bridge solution that allows to pass jumbo frames over a distance of 3 miles, using the 5.8 GHz band. The original solution was a Proxim Tsunami GX 200, but unfortunately it doesn't go beyond an MTU of 1536 bytes: we need at least 1544 bytes, ideally between 4470 and 9212 bytes MTU. The handoff should be MM fiber, the desired throughput 200 Mbps. Thanks, Stefano

We've used mikrotik routerboards that support ev-do as wireless serial adapters..

Qwest DNS Problems?
by Daniel 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Did anyone notice any issues with Qwest DNS the past hour or two? We've had users with intermittent issues and the weird thing is while they can't resolve certain domains within Qwest's network I can query the same DNS servers from outside of Qwest's network and the names resolve just fine. Dan

Signing of the ARPA zone
by Joe Abley 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Colleagues, This is a technical, operational announcement regarding changes to the ARPA top-level domain. Apologies in advance for duplicates received through different mailing lists. No specific action is requested of operators. This message is for your information only. The ARPA zone is about to be signed using DNSSEC. The technical parameters by which ARPA will be signed are as follows: KSK Algorithm and Size: 2048 bit RSA KSK Rollover: every 2-5 years, scheduled rollover to follow RFC 5011 KSK Signature Algorithm: SHA-256 Validity period for signatures made with KSK: 15 days; new signatures published every 10 days ZSK Algorithm and Size: 1024 bit RSA ZSK Rollover: every 3 months ZSK Signature Algorithm: SHA-256 Authenticated proof of non-existence: NSEC Validity period for signatures made with ZSK: 7 days; zone generated and re-signed twice per day The twelve root server operators [1] will begin to serve a signed ARPA zone instead of the (current) unsigned ARPA zone during a maintenance window which will open at 2010-03-15 0001 UTC and close at 2010-03-17 2359 UTC. Individual root server operators will carry out their maintenance at times within that window according to their own operational preference. The trust anchor for the ARPA zone will be published in the ITAR [2], and in the root zone in the form of a DS record once the root zone is signed. If you have any concerns or require further information, please let me know. Regards, Joe Abley Director DNS Operations, ICANN [1] <http://www.root-servers.org/> [2] <https://itar.iana.org/>

Qwest - Yes; (I'm moderating an IPv6 panel with Owen Delong from HE and Qwest in April) Ones you didn't ask about, but are significant v6 players Sprint - Yes; Absolutely (Colleagues of mine helped them with some of their IPv6 security issues in 2008) NTT - Absolutely yes (Check out the Google IPv6 Implementer's conference and Rocky Mountain IPv6 Summit presentations from last year's conferences) Cheers, Ralph
