• 23 min read

Yes, that's a cryptic topic, even for an article that addresses matters of the use of cryptographic algorithms, so congratulations for getting even this far! This is a report of an experiment conducted in September and October 2014 by the authors to measure the extent to which deployed DNSSEC-valid…

Privacy and Security - Five Objectives

Geoff Huston

• 6 Nov 2014

• 7 min read

It has been a very busy period in the domain of computer security. With "shellshock", "heartbleed" and NTP monlink adding to the background of open DNS resolvers, port 445 viral nasties, SYN attacks and other forms of vulnerability exploits, it's getting very hard to see the forest for the trees. W…

Secure Internet Routing with RPKI

Remy de Boer

• 30 Oct 2014

• 6 min read

Last week we improved the security of our routing infrastructure by implementing RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure), a technology that can be used to secure the Internet routing infrastructure. RPKI was the topic of my Master's thesis and in this article I am trying to convince you to use th…

Experiment Proposal to Improve K-root

Suzanne Taylor

• 29 Oct 2014

• 4 min read

We used RIPE Atlas to measure latency times to K-root, and we believe we can improve those times by adding new nodes to K-root in strategic locations. Here, we propose the idea of developing an experiment that would let us measure this potential improvement.

LISPmob: a Flexible LISP Implementation

Alberto Rodriguez-Natal

• 22 Oct 2014

• 12 min read

The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) decouples identity from location on the current IP addresses by creating two separate namespaces. The LISPmob project aims to bring a full-featured LISP open-source implementation to Linux-flavoured systems.

Building The Next Generation RIS Route Collectors

Wouter Miltenburg

• 20 Oct 2014

• 7 min read

This is the second part of a research project investigating the possible replacement of the current Remote Route Collectors (RRC) used for the Routing Information Services (RIS). In the second phase we developed a prototype based on the requirements determined in the first phase. Both parts of …

Propagation of Longer-than-/24 IPv4 Prefixes

Emile Aben

• 2 Oct 2014

• 8 min read

Under ARIN's Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) Section 4.10, the IPv4 address block 23.128/10 is reserved for allocations and assignments dedicated to facilitate IPv6 deployment. The maximum allocation size is a /24; the minimum allocation size is a /28. There has been much discussion on the NAN…

Researching Next Generation RIS Route Collectors

Wouter Miltenburg

• 21 Jul 2014

• 12 min read

This project was initiated to research, develop and deploy a prototype that could potentially replace the current Remote Route Collectors (RRCs) and which invokes less delay. It was a graduation project for my bachelor thesis at the HvA (Hogeschool van Amsterdam). This article outlines the possible…
