ICANN DNS Symposium | September 2023

Text Description automatically generated

The sixth Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) DNS Symposium (IDS 2023) was held on 5 September 2023 in Da Nang, Vietnam. IDS 2023 was co-located with "A Day of DNS Abuse Discussions" (4 September), also hosted by ICANN, and OARC 41 (6-7 September), hosted by Domain Name System Operations, Analysis, and Research Center (DNS-OARC).

"A Day of DNS Abuse Discussions" covered the pending contract amendments for ICANN-accredited registrars and registry operators and what they mean for contracted parties. There were also discussions and capacity development sessions related to DNS abuse mitigation.

The theme for IDS 2023 was "The Integration of DNS with Emerging Technologies."

IDS2023 explored the challenges and opportunities associated with the integration of the DNS in emerging technologies, including challenges related to security. The symposium invited researchers, developers, and operators to present on subjects including, but not limited to, blockchains, Internet of things, and novel uses of the DNS, such as IP-to-location translation, blocklists, and so on.

Domain Name System
Internationalized Domain Name ,IDN,"IDNs are domain names that include characters used in the local representation of languages that are not written with the twenty-six letters of the basic Latin alphabet ""a-z"". An IDN can contain Latin letters with diacritical marks, as required by many European languages, or may consist of characters from non-Latin scripts such as Arabic or Chinese. Many languages also use other types of digits than the European ""0-9"". The basic Latin alphabet together with the European-Arabic digits are, for the purpose of domain names, termed ""ASCII characters"" (ASCII = American Standard Code for Information Interchange). These are also included in the broader range of ""Unicode characters"" that provides the basis for IDNs. The ""hostname rule"" requires that all domain names of the type under consideration here are stored in the DNS using only the ASCII characters listed above, with the one further addition of the hyphen ""-"". The Unicode form of an IDN therefore requires special encoding before it is entered into the DNS. The following terminology is used when distinguishing between these forms: A domain name consists of a series of ""labels"" (separated by ""dots""). The ASCII form of an IDN label is termed an ""A-label"". All operations defined in the DNS protocol use A-labels exclusively. The Unicode form, which a user expects to be displayed, is termed a ""U-label"". The difference may be illustrated with the Hindi word for ""test"" — परीका — appearing here as a U-label would (in the Devanagari script). A special form of ""ASCII compatible encoding"" (abbreviated ACE) is applied to this to produce the corresponding A-label: xn--11b5bs1di. A domain name that only includes ASCII letters, digits, and hyphens is termed an ""LDH label"". Although the definitions of A-labels and LDH-labels overlap, a name consisting exclusively of LDH labels, such as""icann.org"" is not an IDN."
