#ietf116 — Public Fediverse posts

With the #IETF117 meeting next month, Internet Engineering Steering Group member Mirja Kühlewind looks back at #IETF116—and previous years—to highlight work on Internet standards getting started and underway across a wide range of technical areas: https://www.ietf.org/blog/ietf116-highlights/

Looks like my IETF / skateboarding post got lost in my failed mastodon upgrade. In condensed form - I blew off the IETF social and went to the Yokohama skatepark. At almost 50 years old I want to roll as much as possible before I just can't anymore. This park was pretty incredible. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqcDIh-DTNU/

I skipped the social event and managed to get some time at a great skatepark in Yokohama while at #IETF116. As I near very, very close to 50 years old I find that I really care a lot about still being able to roll on a wooden toy, but that it becomes increasingly harder on a body that has been beat up for the majority of time in its existence. Still, this was an incredible skatepark, even if I can't skate it like I could when I was 19.

As the #IETF116 meeting hosted by @WIDE_Project comes to a close, thanks to the more than 1700 participants and all the meeting sponsors for making a week full of #RunningCode and #RoughConsensus productive and fun. Check out recordings of 100+ sessions: https://www.ietf.org/live/

Two final research group meetings on this, the last day of the #IETF116 meeting in Yokohama.

Starting at 09:30 JST, the Crypto Forum Research Group has a discussion on Guidelines for writing cryptography specifications plus updates on key blinding for signature schemes, RSA Blind Signatures with Public Metadata, VDAFs, and more https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/materials/agenda-116-cfrg-04

Also at 09:30, the Human Rights Protocol Considerations group has talks by Micah Lee on "Hack Leaks and revelations" and by Leah Rosenbloom on "Cryptography for grassroots organizing", plus new work on Intimate Partner Violence Digital Considerations https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/materials/agenda-116-hrpc-00

Good bye, Yokohama! Sorry, I have to leave #IETF116 early, for another meeting.

Bientôt à Lyon pour #JDLL (ou #JDLL2023 ?) http://jdll.org/

“The speed of light is not fast” – we need to fix this! #IETF116

Registration Extensions working group. https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/materials/agenda-116-regext-03

#IETF116 #EPP #RDAP

#LLM for standards discours analysis: even the IETF uses GPT-3.

#IETF116

Now, McQuistin on some data about the standardization process. 32 % of RFC have errata, 7 % of the errata are filed within 30 days. reviews could be more thorough.

#IETF116

Example of study of rituals (rituals are not just in remote islands but also at #IETF): the hum.

Since it is "anonymous", it also obfuscates the corporate affiliation.

#IETF116

"I'm an anthropologist"

"What are you doing here in the #IETF? Are you lost?"

#IETF116

Corinne Cath speaking "The hard work of the hum: using ethnography to study power & politics in the #IETF"

Spoiler: IETF does not work in practice as it does in theory

#IETF116

Now, the RASP research group: data about the #IETF processes.

#IETF116

Soon, the book, under a free licence https://github.com/sfc-aqua/Overview-of-Quantum-Communications-E

And the videos: https://www.youtube.com/@QuantumCommEdu

#IETF116

Making the entanglement is itself distributed quantum computation. Every node has to participate. The quantum Internet will be more circuit than datagram.

[Funny note: when you create entanglements, you need to create a lot of them since using them - in a quantum computation - destroys them.]

Routing will be fun, you have to take into account if the link is "good" or "bad" (noisy).

#IETF116

Today, we have quantum repeating (so we can carry the quantum state on some distance) but not yet "real" quantum networks.

#IETF116

Analog -> Digital -> Quantum. From waves to bits then to superposition of states.

#progress #IETF116

RFC 9340 summarizes what is "Quantum Internet". The goal is to be able to run distributed quantum applications.

Basic building block: entanglement (of qubits)

#IETF116

Now, let's go quantum with the talk on "Quantum Internet".

#IETF116

WATCH: The #IETF116 host WIDE Project presents "The Future & Roadmap to the Quantum Internet Testbed Efforts in Japan" with Shota Nagayama and Rod Van Meter soon! Watch live at 02:45-03:45 UTC on 30 March 2023 or on-demand anytime:

#DNSSEC "black lies" renamed "compact answers". "White lies" remain white?

#IETF116

Demo of an implementation at Vodafone/Akamai. (With a Google Chrome plugin and DoH to the resolver.)

#IETF116 #DNS

Now, draft-ietf-dnsop-structured-dns-error, a proposal to encode the reasons a lying #DNS resolver lied, in the hope it will be displayed to the user. (Redirecting to a Web page does not work, for instance if the HTTP connection was HTTPS.)

JSON in the DNS response :-(

#IETF116

First, something not #DNS: #GNS, the GNU Name System, an alternative to DNS, to fight censorship and provide privacy.

Debian packages at https://deb.taler.net/

In the future .alt TLD, it will be gns.alt.

.fr has been imported into GNS :-)

#IETF116

Let's start with dnsop: everything #DNS https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/materials/agenda-116-dnsop-04

#IETF116

Three more IRTF research groups meet at #IETF116 today.

First, at 09:30 JST, is the Decentralised Internet Infrastructure RG with discussions of the causes and implications of Internet centralisation https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/materials/agenda-116-dinrg-03

Also at 09:30, is the Global Access to the Internet for All (GAIA) RG with work on mapping fibre infrastructure, IXPs, and collective risk reduction https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/materials/agenda-116-gaia-00

Finally today, at 13:00 JST, is the first meeting of the new Research and Analysis of Standard-Setting Processes Proposed RG. This aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, policy makers, standards users, and standards developers to study standardisation processes across SDOs - talks will focus on ethnographic studies of IETF and tools for collating data about IETF https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/materials/agenda-116-rasprg-02

As usual, recordings will be on the IETF channel on YouTube for those that cannot attend in person.
