Keynote Speech AsiaBSDCon 2010. Summary: On 1 July 2010, the root zone will be fully validated and signed with DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions). This will start the process to have fully validated secure DNS tree. This presentation will guide you through how DNSSEC has been developed, some of the pitfalls that come along the way (and their solutions), how this will affect the DNS operators move forward and what suppliers OS (in this case, * BSD) can do to better support a future infrastructure DNSSEC DNS enabled.

Paper Session AsiaBSDCon 2009. Abstract: The code is the code. In the entire application stack only a very small fraction of the code is special in the sense that it requires equipment to operate in privileged mode. In theory, everything else can run in kernel or user domain, with the compromise is well known. Engineering a core operating system while the same code can run in both user mode and kernel provides many advantages such as: testing and development, virtualization, stability and reusability of code in applications. In the Unix code current style is split kernel code and the code in userspace. Although the translation routines of code modules limited, as the byte order and address may be shared with the whole feature is not available in both areas. This article examines the nuts and bolts of the implementation of the BSD networking code in user space. He does not advocate turning a BSD operating system microkernel, but rather gives concrete evidence that the level of networking and kernel stack and kernel networking applications can be run in user space. The userspace virtual networking stack is measured to be powerful enough to be able to saturate a regular network and more than 10 times faster than the networking stack of kernel running in a machine emulator. An implementation for NetBSD available from the NetBSD source repository is discussed.
