Vint Cerf @ Google SFO

I just watched this talk by Vint Cerf given at an Engineering Open House in Google,SFO. 

 

I really enjoyed his talk, both for the content and his sense of humor. Cerf touched on ARPAnet history and moved on to the challenges of the Internet. They were

1. Authentication

2. Integration of applications etc

he also thinks 2008 will be a significant year in the history of the internet. Some of the reasons he had pointed were

1. More focused attention to IPv6. (he mentioned that as per current consumption, ICANN will run of IP's by 2010 and Google has performed some experiments on switching to IPv6)

2. adoption of DNSSEC  protocol. 

and more...

In all, it was a very interesting fun filled talk
