False positive CSAM blocking attributed to RIPE
by Jeremy Malcolm 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Dear all, I am new to this list, although I am not completely new to the Internet technical community, as I am a long-time IGF (and occasionally ICANN) participant. I am writing about a case that has been referred to my organization involving global blocking (packet dropping, apparently) of IP addresses that have been reported as hosting CSAM by the Canadian Center for Child Protection (C3P). According to public information, the C3P runs a web crawler called Project Arachnid which searches for instances of CSAM on the clearweb, and sends automated takedown notices to providers. However, in the case that was reported to me, rather than allowing the hosting provider to take down the offending image, the takedown notice was followed by global packet dropping of the hosting IP address, which took down the entire server and other websites along with it: the hosting provider has attributed this censorship to RIPE, although I cannot verify whether or not this is true. If I am able to obtain more details from RIPE staff, I will follow up with them. Moreover the website in question was not a CSAM website, and neither was the image reported by the C3P a CSAM image. It was a scan of a 1960s postcard of an indigenous family, sent through the mail, which was included in a detailed ethnographic blog article about indigenous women and girls. In other words, this is an obvious false positive, and it should never have been reported as CSAM at all. I'm writing to find out if anyone has more information that they can share about how this might have happened, and how it can be prevented from happening in the future. Many thanks in advance for any help that you can offer. Not sure if I should include the RIPE Cooperation ML on this, given that it relates to the actions of the C3P? -- Jeremy Malcolm PhD LLB (Hons) B Com Executive Director, Prostasia Foundation https://prostasia.org - +1 415 650 2557 ᐧ

Survey UN-IGF DC-ISSS on Internet of Things security and policy
by Wout de Natris 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

Dear colleague, In this email you find a link to a survey on Internet of Things security and policy. The survey is a part of research currently undertaken within the UN-IGF’s Dynamic Coalition Internet Standards, Security and Safety’s Working Group Security by design – Internet of Things. For clarity, a short introduction. The Dynamic Coalition on Internet Standards, Security and Safety (DC-ISSS) brings together key stakeholders from the technical community, civil society, government policymakers, regulators, and corporate and individual adopters, with the shared goal of making online activity and interaction more secure and safer by achieving more widespread and rapid deployment of existing Internet standards and ICT best practices. (You can find more information on the DC-ISSS, the three working groups and their respective mission statements on the IGF website. You can also join the DC-ISSS here. https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/dynamic-coalition-on-inter….) Security by design is a prominent topic in the DC-ISSS’ workplan. The survey’s outcomes will assist it to define results that will be presented on at the IGF in Katowice, this December and will become an integral part of the policy recommendations, guidelines, toolkits and action/capacity building programmes the DC-ISSS foresees for 2022 and beyond. Please fill it in at your earliest convenience but no later than Friday 22 October at 12.00 UTC. Estimated time, ca. 10 minutes.

New on RIPE Labs: Day One Exploits - How to Effectively Reduce the Threat
by Alun Davies 19 Jul '21

19 Jul '21

Dear colleagues, Recent Day One attacks have demonstrated how difficult it can be for organisations to react when vulnerabilities are announced. In this new guest post on RIPE Labs, Kathleen Moriarty looks at how the move toward pervasive zero trust architectures and DevOps processes could help reduce the problem: https://labs.ripe.net/author/kathleen_moriarty/day-one-exploits-how-to-effe… Kind regards, Alun Davies RIPE Labs Editor RIPE NCC

Making the internet more secure: An invitation
by Wout de Natris 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, On Monday 28 June at 11.30 UTC (13.30 CET) the Dynamic Coalition on Internet Standards, Security and Safety presents itself, its three working groups that started in 2021 and their respective workplans and mission statements. You are kindly invited to join this virtual workshop. A more secure and safer Internet, ICT and IoT, is in the interest of every end user. Whether corporate, public services or individuals, all end users should be adequately protected by state of the art security, available in the form of Internet standards and ICT/IoT best practices concerning security. Presently these standards and best practices are seriously underused, leaving the world at large, and its private and public interests, less protected than is currently possible. The DC-ISSS aims to ensure that standards and best practices play their full role in addressing these challenges through establishing the conditions for their wider, more effective and more rapid adoption by key decision-takers in the implementation chain. Said deployment is of direct interest to your organisation. Closing the gap between the theory and the practices of digital security is the main theme of the DC’s working groups. The gap between the theory of roadmaps on IoT security and secure-by-design devices and sensors. The gap between current tertiary schooling in cyber security curricula and the demands industry and other employers make on, not only, educational facilities but also those graduating there. The gap between the necessity of a more secure digital environment and the lack of active, security demand and thus offer of security. Deployment equals a significantly higher level of protection against the exploitation of vulnerabilities, hacks and extortion. It’s in your interest. In this session the current three working groups: security by design – Internet of Things; education and skills and; procurement, supply chain management and the creation of a business case for deployment will present their respective plans for 2021. These plans will be published shortly on the IGF website here: (https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/dynamic-coalition-on-inter…). On the same page you can join the email list of the DC-ISSS. The second half of the session is your opportunity to raise questions, suggest research or direction, to add expertise and knowledge to the programme. The DC-ISSS Leadership team is open to have one on one sessions during EuroDIG or after. Please let us know if you are interested to learn more. The DC-ISSS is in need of support. 1) Contributions in kind in the form of knowledge and expertise. 2) Introductions to experts and expert organisations. 3) Financial contributions to conduct the research, the writing of reports, to conduct active outreach and allow for support, coordination and presentations. We look forward to welcoming you on Monday 28 June, 11.30 UTC (13.30 CEST). Do not forget to register on the EuroDIG website in order to participate. (https://www.eurodig.org/get-involved/register-for-eurodig-2021/), 25 June at the latest.
