Achieving sovereignty, security and resilience: best practices and key decisions
Mostly about #Matrix https://matrix.org/
185 Musers, really? How many active and really reachable?
I wonder if she will mention XMPP or other standards.
The example she gave of the "SIgnalgate" (reporter from The Atlantic listening to a secure US group) is a bad example: it was not a technical failure, just an human error. No protocol; software or algorithm could prevent that.
Anyway, if you want to talk with me on #Matrix, it is @bortzmeyer:underworld.fr
Now, Resilience in infrastructure: securing DNS and skills by @gmassen

"#DNS is a fundamental part of the Internet"
And the picture which explains DNS resolution use the current IP version (unlike most tutorials which use a 20th century version)
And the most important thing is of course people and skills. The Internet connects people, not machines.
Now, official talk from the governement, Stéphanie Obertin, minister for digitalisation. (Speaking in French except she says "open source" instead of « logiciel libre »)
« Le Luxembourg a une politique cohérente et soutenue en matière de souveraineté numérique. » Tout est hébergé dans le cloud souverain.
Bizarre, la réécriture de son titre par Wikipédia : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minist%C3%A8re_de_la_Num%C3%A9risation
#LUNOG (Luxembourg Network Operators Group) is about to start.
Building Quantum-Secure networks for the Post-Quantum era
Preparing for the Q-day
Alice talks to Bob, while a quantum computer listens...
One possible solution is PSK (Pre-Shared Keys) as used in IEEE's MACsec.
RFC 8784 is another example (with "post-quantum" in the title for marketing reasons)
Or real Post-quantum cryptography. (Not yet standardised in IPsec/IKE.)
emergency.lu, a mobile, satellite-based telecommunications platform
Neutral, unlike Starlink, which takes sides in armed conflicts
Deploying to Syria was an issue because of sanctions (the ground station is dual-use technology)
The hardware comes from https://www.hitec.lu/
Highlights From Internet Robustness Work in Sweden
"Awareness of dependencies" [Something that many Cloiudflare users are no aware of...]
Not only technical robustness but also organisational one: non-commercial body, good relation with the government, long-term goals, etc. [Internet infrastructure must not depend on startups.]
Robustness costs money. Where to find it?
"Robustness fee" from the telecom operators, collected by the regulator.
Akamai CDN Backbone Evolution
Why a CDN? When you have content and it is popular all over the world.
How to steer clients to the CDN? varying DNS responses, IP anycast, steering in the app...
Funny history of Akamai : the first setup had zero router (and of course zero backbone), servers were directly connected to the ISP router.
