Texas Cyber Summit II

Due to pervasive unpreparedness of users, applications, operating systems, and protocols, DNS has become an essential control point for “cyber” security. Most networks have a mix of legacy, modern, safe, and unsafe devices attached to them, and this condition won’t change as quickly as the Zerocorp initiative might suggest. However, DNS is also an important control point for authoritarian regimes, and so “bypass” innovation is  continuous, rapid, and ambitious. Special attention will be paid to the new "DNS over HTTP" or "DoH" protocol now being strongly pushed by Mozilla, CloudFlare, and others. In addition, a brief mention will be made of Resolverless DNS.
