Since summer 2000, six hands-on workshops have been held to test drive the DNS Security Extensions. One of these workshops followed NANOG 20. A number of software fixes, protocol issues, and operational issues have been identified and discussed. The presentation summarizes the lessons learned and future direction of the DNSSEC effort.

About the Presenter
Edward Lewis began working on DNSSEC in 1996, providing Internet Drafts and implementation experience to the various IETF working groups defining DNSSEC. He has written the dns_signer included in BINDv8's contrib code as well as an uncirculated "secure resolver." Recent efforts include refining the specification documents, consulting with the implementors of BINDv9 (chiefly Internet Software Consortium members) and conducting workshops on DNSSEC.
