From Cryptography to Web 3 powered by Blockchain with David Holtzman

Secure Talk Podcast

The state of networked computing systems today relies heavily on a networking architecture designed and implemented by people like David Hotlzman, our guest on Secure Talk. But what if our current “world wide web” was just the progenitor of an n-dimension “internet stack”? Does Web 3 offer the opportunity to evolve a seemingly monolithic internet?

In this episode of SecureTalk, host Justin Beals interviews David Holtzman, the brains behind the global domain name registration system and a former NSA analyst. They delve into the history and evolution of the DNS, discussing how it transformed from a single 'host.txt' file to a robust global system impacting millions of domain names. David shares his thoughts on decentralization, the potential of blockchain technology, and the future of cybersecurity in the wake of quantum computing. They also touch on the implications of AI, the cyclical nature of tech fads, and the importance of innovative yet secure solutions in today's rapidly evolving cyber environment. This episode is a must-listen for cybersecurity experts interested in the complex interplay between technology, governance, and security.
