UKNOF52:
Panel Session

OUR PROPOSAL

As a PhD student researching security, scalability and latency properties in multi-domain communication, I am interested in industry’s perspectives on how we can protect confidentiality in Internet traffic, for both consumers and businesses.

This panel session aims to share perspectives from across industry and with input from research, focusing on not only the importance of confidentiality but also its practical implementation in the Internet by network operators.

We intend to hold this panel session at the UK Network Operators' Forum (UKNOF) 52 in September 2023.

There is a form at the bottom of this page to suggest questions, or provide your feedback.

Governance & Motivation in Internet Routing
