Hello everybody,
I am resending my
application since I - shame on me - did not follow the
recommendation of Jim to start a new e-mail thread with my
application - as stated below I’m still learning but I’m eager
to ;)
First of all I want to
thank Jim for his great work for this working group and his
years commitment as a working group chair!
For the designation of a new working group co-chair I put my hat (again) into the ring.
I'm seriously concerned about the impact malicious IoT devices will have on the internet's infrastructure. My goal in the working group is defining best practices and standards about how can be best dealt with IoT devices pro-actively to keep the attacks that are already onging and will come to happen under control. Besides that I want to work on providing players from the IoT industry with better practices and - if possible - technical solutions while working with regulators to create better standards that help providing security and privacy.
Coming from a home gateway/personal router/CPE background (DD-WRT / OpenWRT) such devices are for me potential gatekeepers that can play an important role in securing millions home small networks. Also ISP's should be brought on board, it's in their sole interest as well. To have an effect we need to try to gain a maximum traction in the industry.
There are already activities (SPIN / IETF home gateway WG, etc.) in this field. As a working group chair I would focus working on connecting the ongoing activities to form technical standards and reference implementations for easy adoption by the industry. I would also work on advocating those to industry players (i.e. via Broadband Forum & prpl Foundation) to get broader support for these activities as well. In my role as project manager for the open source projects in the prpl Foundation I also work on selecting security related technologies for adoption / funding by the prpl Foundation and it's members.
Being a RIPE member since years and becoming more and more familiar with the works of standardization organizations I am eager to learn more about the proceedings and how to better support the RIPE-community and other standardization organizations.
It would be my pleasure to work closer with all of you for the better of the internet.
