Closing Plenary - Main Room (Fri, 11:00)
The arrival of quantum computers will significantly impact our current Internet infrastructures as quantum computers will be able to break current public key cryptography. This means that we need to replace cryptographic algorithms by quantum-safe alternatives, also known as Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Many protocols and architectures need to make this transition. While the Internet community is making steady progress on transitioning TLS to PQC, there are still many protocols for which ac…
Effective visualization of the IP address space is important for navigating the scale and complexity of modern network data.
Hilbert curves are a common method to map one-dimensional address spaces into 2D images.
In this talk, we present Hilby, an open-source React framework for rendering interactive Hilbert maps for both IPv4 and IPv6.
Unlike statically rendered images Hilby supports dynamic aggregation and deaggregation of prefixes, allowing users to seamlessly transition between macroscop…
This is an update on "bitsquatting", a form of cybersquatting that exploits hardware bit-flip errors—often caused by cosmic rays or faulty components—during DNS requests. It explores how these random memory corruptions can inadvertently redirect legitimate network traffic to attacker-controlled domains that differ by only a single binary bit from the intended address. The briefing emphasizes the operational risks this vulnerability poses to security of the web, and the somewhat scary informatio…
