[news] RIPE NCC IoT Roundtable Meeting in Leeds
by Marco Hogewoning 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Dear all, The RIPE IoT Roundtable Meeting organised by the RIPE NCC took place on 21 September 2017 in Leeds and was attended by 30 community members. Here are the main points that were discussed at the meeting: - Vendors and retailers are unlikely to follow attempts at standardisation. A trusted IoT label might work, but not for low-margin/low-cost devices. - Some CPE ports should be open for advanced users only. The RIPE community could help by documenting some of the risk factors and fall-back mechanisms around and behind CPE. When blocking ports is not possible, manufacturers have the ultimate responsibility. - IoT poses a safety issue. Regulation might not be the ideal approach in dealing with this, as it would take time to implement and would increase the entry burden for starters. In the meantime, providers should step up to help minimise risks. - Assigning liability and working out who the data controller is will be a challenge. Insurance will take time to catch up. - There was strong support for a discussion on the creation of an IoT Working Group at RIPE 75. The draft charter was reviewed as well as the agenda for the IoT session at RIPE 75: <https://ripe75.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/iot/> A detailed overview of the meeting will be sent to the IoT mailing list next week: <https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/ripe-mailing-lists/iot-discussion> Best regards, Marco Hogewoning External Relations RIPE NCC

[news] New Trust Anchor and RPKI Structure
by Tim Bruijnzeels 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is in the process of transitioning from the current RPKI Trust Anchor arrangement to a new configuration which was agreed to among the RIRs and announced by the NRO: https://www.nro.net/regional-internet-registries-are-preparing-to-deploy-al… In this new configuration, the RIPE NCC will use an "all resources" Trust Anchor to issue a certificate for its own regional resources (IP and ASNs) only that will be used to issue certificates to its members for their holdings. The RIPE NCC will migrate to the new structure on Thursday, 28 September. What do you need to do? If you are using the hosted RPKI services, you do not need to take any action. However, the migration will require extensive re-signing to be done by our systems and this takes considerable time. We will not be able to process changes to Route Origin Authorisation (ROA) configurations during this migration and we will therefore have to turn off the RPKI user interface during this maintenance. This will take place on Thursday from 9:00 to 17:00 UTC+2. If you are using relying-party software, such as the Dragon Research Labs RPKI Toolkit(1) or the RIPE NCC RPKI Validator(2), no action will be needed. We will continue to use the same Trust Anchor so you do not need to update your Trust Anchor Locator (TAL). We will ensure that the repository remains available during the migration. We will make sure that all appropriate ROAs are re-created under the new structure before switching over the repository.
