Lets stop throwing words around >in this community mailing list and create unwanted confusion. Sockpuppetry is not an "ideology". It is a well-established fact of life on the modern Internet, just as "astroturfing" is in real life. If you don't know that then it is because either you are ignorant or else it is because you are pretending to be ignorant. The poster in question is using and was using a fradulent name together with an essentially anonymous gmail account. The name given in the From: header is bogus and is a reference to a non-existant fictitious person, as anyone who simply takes a moment to google the name can readily see. This is fundamentally different from Real People posting to these lists. Real People have histories, known connections, and readily identifiable employers. Sock puppets have none of these things. If you don't like people talking about sock puppets on these mailing lists then perhaps you should, in the first instance, try to get the sock puppets to stop posting garbage and unenlightening recycled company PR blurbs to these mailing lists. Most of us have real work to do, and if we really want to be bombarded by commercial advertisments being written and spread around by specific individual companies, at their request or prompting, and for their benefit, then there are other places where we can seek out that kind of stuff.

SBAS Operator Survey
by Adrian Perrig 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Dear RIPE, Knowing how challenging it is to apply new technologies to current networks, in a collaboration between ETH, Princeton University, and University of Virginia, we constructed a system that provides security benefits for current Internet users while requiring minimal changes to networks. Our design can be built on top of the existing Internet to prevent routing attacks that can compromise availability and cause detrimental impacts on critical infrastructure – even given a low adoption rate. This provides benefits over other proposed approaches such as RPKI that only protects a route’s origin first AS, or BGPsec that requires widespread adoption and significant infrastructure upgrades. Our architecture, called Secure Backbone AS (SBAS), allows clients to benefit from emerging secure routing deployments like SCION by tunneling into a secure infrastructure. SBAS provides substantial routing security improvements when retrofitted to the current Internet. It also provides benefits even to non-participating networks and endpoints when communicating with an SBAS-protected entity. Our ultimate aim is to develop and deploy SBAS beyond an experimental scope. We have designed a survey to capture the impressions of the network operator community on the feasibility and viability of our design. The survey is anonymous and takes about 10 minutes to complete, including watching a brief 3-minute introductory video. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc4VCkqd7i88y0CbJ31B7tVXyxBlhEy_zs… We thank you for helping inform our further work on this project. We will be happy to share the results with the community. With kind regards Prateek Mittal, Adrian Perrig, Yixin Sun
