About the talk: DNSSEC has been deployed now for almost 20 years, but unfortunately it is used very sparsely. Until recently the establishment of the chain of trust had to be done out-of-band. But the IETF has defined ways to do it in-band and currently several European ccTLD registries have already set this in production.
We will look at how to automate the establishment of trust in the DNS and possible improvements for the future.
