  1. DNS OARC An information sharing and analysis centre for the global DNS.

  2. Background • Information Sharing and Analysis Center • Concept originates with US homeland security efforts. • Allow industry participants to share potentially proprietary information during times of crisis. • ISACs in many different sectors • BUT: ISAC not global enough, needed to expand the concept

  3. Key Functions • Incident response • Shared, trusted platform for information exchange • Operational characterization • Data collection infrastructure for consistency across time and multiple operators • Testing • Interoperability of implementations • Debugging configuration and service options

  4. Key Functions (2) • Analysis • Characterize normal functioning • Analyse attacks against DNS • Analyse backscatter to DNS from other attacks • Outreach • Assist efforts to defend against attacks, malfunctions • Improved knowledge for operators everywhere

  5. Information Exchange • Vendors Need to Share Information • Information needed to solve problems during times of crisis may be proprietary. • Strong, binding membership agreement and trusted, secure information sharing platform insures proper coordination of efforts. • Operators need to share experience too • Complements CERTs, law enforcement

  6. Secretariat for OARC • OARC provided as public service by the Internet Systems Consortium • Not-for-profit corporation. • Long-term track record in public DNS operations insures credibility with participants. • Other ISC public services: • BIND software • “F” root server. • OpenReg Software • DNS Analysis and Measurement

  7. Analysis and Research • ISC partnering with CAIDA for research and analysis. • CAIDA well-known for ground-breaking analysis on the global DNS • Based at the University of California at San Diego • Funded by NSF, ARPA, vendors. • Strong credibility with ISPs, root operators, and others involved in operation of the global DNS. • Well-known for studies of performance, operation of root servers, DNS queries, measurement. • ISC and CAIDA have jointly applied for NSF funding for a long-term research program.

  8. Membership • Membership aimed at 4 classes of institutions: • Root and TLD operators. • Other large DNS operators (e.g., ecommerce providers). • Government institutions with responsibility for DNS operations (e.g., law enforcement). • Research and analysis institutions with a strong operational focus. • Membership agreement • Fees based on number of Points of Contact assigned. $4,200/year for 3 POCs, $6,800 for 5 POCs. • Signed membership agreement required to insure confidentiality requirements are met.
