Krill is a free, open source RPKI Certificate Authority from NLnet Labs that lets you run delegated RPKI under one or multiple RIRs. In this article, we provide a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on how you can run Krill under the RIPE NCC.
Over the last two years NLnet Labs has been working on free, open source RPKI software and research for the community, supported by the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund. We are incredibly excited that six months after the first release of Krill it already powers delegated RPKI for over 150 organisa…
Over the years, the core services of the RIPE NCC, such as the LIR Portal and RIPE Database, have seen many changes. We are now going to unify the interfaces.
Over the last year the RIPE NCC made a significant number of incremental changes to the RIPE Database user interface. The implementation of streamlined authentication using RIPE NCC Access has put us in a position where we can further improve the user experience in other areas.
Over the last couple of months we've been putting a lot of focus on improving the usability of the RIPE Database web interface. We started with tightly integrating our Single Sign-On system, RIPE NCC Access, into webupdates. This allows users to seamlessly make changes in all of the different RIPE …
There is an extensive project underway to make our services easier to use and work together seamlessly, so that they provide the most value to you. Over the last couple of months we have been working very hard on the RIPE Database. We have made some fundamental changes to the web interface, which w…
At RIPE 70, Tim Bruijnzeels presented some statistics on the type of authentication people use to update the RIPE Database. There was one data point that particularly stood out for me: 76% of all updates via email are done using an MD5 password. I was stunned, because this way you are required to s…
The IPv6 Analyser is a toolset that offers our members a visual insight into all the allocations, aggregations and assignments they have made. It was announced a few weeks ago and we're seeing LIRs starting to use it. Please find below some more details about this tool.
We are in the process of implementing the policy regarding Post Depletion Adjustment of Procedures (2013-03). In this article we will give an overview of the changes we are making to the IP Analyser web interface and API, so you can accommodate your scripts and workflow. We intend to implement thes…
This is brilliant! By the way, the RIPE NCC also has RIS beacons with each RPKI Validation state that can be used for this purpose: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/markd/routing-certification-beacons/
“If I understand correctly, the lack of IPv6 affects only the RIPE NCC, as the LIRs and other parties will use RIPE NCC's (IPv6 capable) website to create tickects and upload documents. Also, the e-mail replies will be sent to the NCC, who accept mail over IPv6. Did I misunderstand something?”
That’s spot on Janos.
When the ticketing system product selection was done, of course IPv6 and security were on the list of criteria. IPv6 support was in the must-have column for a long time, but it competes with other requirements. Of course we could have insisted on IPv6 support, but then we would have ended up with a product that simply doesn't fulfil all the other needs of our users and customers. Let's hope ZenDesk adds IPv6 support soon, we have certainly voiced this to them.
“How's the nicer dialog coming along? ;)”
Ah yes Johannes, this is one of those things that slowly slides down the priority list due to the ever increasing amount of the web interface users with SSO (currently almost 30,000 maintainers with SSO that are actively used) and the continuing decline of email for updates. It's on the list for sure, but there are many other things that are simply more valuable right now.
