Webinar recording: The GNU Name System and the road to publishing an RFC

The webinar took place on February 22, 2024, 13:00-14:30 CET The GNU Name System (GNS) is a decentralized and censorship-resistant domain name resolution protocol that provides a privacy-enhancing alternative to the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. After working in the field of computer security for over two decades, his current work focuses on digital disobedience, freedom of information, informational self-determination and the impact of technology on the development of our society. Not every project may need to interface with a standards setting organisation, but for those that do Tolerant Networks provides guidance and mentoring throughout the process, and can help introduce projects to relevant stakeholders to collaborate and build alliances. The company was spun out of an EU FP7 funded project called N4C in which we used Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) to enable Internet-like communications in very remote communities. It has successfully completed a range of projects in the area of DTN deployment, educational DTN projects and DTN usage for the European Space Agency. The GNU Name System received funding from NGI0 Discovery, and NGI0 Entrust , two funds established by NLnet with financial support from the European Commission's Next Generation Internet programme, under the aegis of DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology under grant agreement No 825322.
