See4 RIPE vs RIPE NCC from the beginning to after the NTIA transitionHans Petter Holen
Walking trough the history of RIPE and RIPE NCC, the CRISP proposal and how the values of RIPE with bottom-up, open and inclusive is reflected in the proposal. Simply speaking we move from a structure where the IANA operator operates under a contract with the US Governments to a structure where the IANA Numbering Services operator would operate under a contract with the RIRs as mandated by, and under oversight of, their members and communities.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

10. Global Policy
• A Global Policy
– “Global policies are defined within the scope of this
agreement as Internet number resource policies
that have the agreement of all RIRs [Regional
Internet Registries] according to their policy
development processes and ICANN, and require
specific actions or outcomes on the part of IANA or
any other external ICANN-related body in order to
be implemented.”
– Global policies determine number allocation policy
for requests that involve IANA
– Global policies may also specify regional number
allocation policy
• There are currently no new Global Policy
Proposals
10
11. Global Policy Development
• Each region has its own policy development process
– All open, transparent, and bottom-up
• Global policy proposals are submitted in all 5 regions
• Each region follows its own process
• It then gets passed to the NRO for review
• And forwarded to the ICANN board
11
12. Global Policy Development
• The NRO NC must
– Validate the proposal went through the policy
development process of each region
– Adequate consideration of viewpoints
– The same text passed in all regions
– Or any rewrite from the NRO EC is not a substantive
change compared to what the individual region
passed
• The NRO NC then recommends to the ICANN
board to ratify
• ICANN Board can ratify, ask for clarification, or
send it back for specific reconsideration of
concerns
12
13. ICANN Participation:
Global Policy Advice
• Interpretation of the Global Policy for Post
Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by
the IANA (ratified in May 2012). Text in
question:
– "Allocations from the IANA may begin once the pool
is declared active."
• Question from IANA: (16 Nov 2013)
– Allocation from the Recovered IPv4 Pool should be
made straight away? Or...
– Allocation should happen at the start of the next
"IPv4 allocation period," the "6-month period
following 1 March or 1 September.”
13
14. ICANN Participation:
Global Policy Advice (cont’)
• ASO AC consulted global numbering community
via each RIR’s policy mailing list.
• Advice to ICANN Board & IANA: (14 Apr 2014)
– “After consultations with the Internet number
communities through the respective RIRs, the ASO
Address Council has drawn rough community
consensus and advises IANA to implement the Global
Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation
Mechanisms by the IANA as follows:
1. Make the first allocation from the IANA recovered pool
immediately after the pool is declared active. This first allocation
should also be consistent with the rest of the policy.
2. Make all subsequent allocations consistent with the IPv4
allocation period specified in the policy text.”

Three things from this presentation..What is the NRO NC and the ASO AC ?Overview of Global Policies and the PDPReport of recent activities
The NRO was established to allow the NRO to:Speak on behalf of the 5 RIRs with one voice.Conduct joint activitiesTo protect the unallocated Number Resource poolTopromote and protect the bottom-up policy development processTo act as a focal point for Internet community input into the RIR systemIt is comprised of the NRO EC, NRO NC, and Secretariat
The NRO EC is comprised of one person appointed by each of the 5 RIR’s boards.Historically it has been the RIR CEO, but could be someone else.The NRO EC speaks on behalf of the NRO in all external activities, and allows the 5 RIRs to speak with one voice, when they are in agreement.The NRO EC can designate RIR resources in Support of NRO activates such as fund travel, or commit RIR staff to perform NRO functions.
NRO NC is comprised of 15 members, 3 from each regionThe NRO EC has designated the NRO NC to perform the role or the ASO AC.
The ASO was formed out of the ASO MoU
Within this ICANN framework, there are a number of supporting organizations and advisory committees, such as the GNSO whose members operate the registries and registrars for the generic top level domains, the ccNSO whose members operate country code domain names registries, and the GAC who is the advisory committee made up of government representatives to provide input to the ICANN process. The ASO is one such Supporting Organization for the addressing community.The NRO Number Council’s sole function has been to serve as the ASO Address Council. We, as the Address Supporting Organization, and specifically the Address Council, do our part by:overseeing global policy work for IPs & ASNsappointing Directors to Seats 9 & 10 on the ICANN Boardserving on ICANN bodies such as the NomCom and Review Teams as required by the Affirmation of Commitments which is a letter signed by ICANN and the US Department of Commerce for the continued operation of ICANN independent of the US government contract, andadvising ICANN on number resource matters such as v4 & v6 addresses, ASNs, and the recognition of new RIRs.
The ASO Address Council is a 15 member body made up of 3 members from each of the 5 RIR regions. We are elected and appointed from within the stakeholders of each regional community. The stars next to the names show who are the members who have been appointed. In the ARIN region, each of the 3 members serve a 3-year term.Jason is now on his 6th year on the ASO AC, and his term will be up at the end of this year.In the APNIC region, Andy Linton has been replaced by AftabSiddiqui.And in the RIPE region, FilizYilmaz has filled the position that Hans PetterHolen has vacated.Ok, that is the NRO NC and ASO AC and you’ll hear me use them interchangeably, now let’s talk about global policies..
So what in the world is the NRO NC doing? I’ll come back to that in a moment..
Global Policy Development Process
Even though we don’t have any new active global policies under review, we were asked for clarity from IANA on an existing policy.
That’s the global policy development process, and now on to other recent activities..
