25. Internet Routing Security
• Routing security is essential to integrity of Internet
– Need to Improve security of inter-domain routing
• Who has the authority to advertise what information into the
routing system ?
• The majority of network relationships are based on system
of mutual trust
– Each party trusts that routes used to transmit information are safe
• The trust model is increasingly open to potential abuse and
attack
25

26. About RPKI
• An architecture to support improved security of Internet
routing using PKI infrastructure
• A robust security framework for verifying the association
between resource holders and their Internet resources
– “cryptographically verifiable attestations” for IP address delegation
and their use
• This architecture is called Resource Public Key
Infrastructure (RPKI)
26

27. Resource Delegation Hierarchy

ISP ISP ISP

28. About RPKI
• “Trustable authority” mirrors the administrative resource
allocation hierarchy with certificates that match current
resource delegations
• A resource holder operating a sub-delegation registry (e.g.
an LIR) may use an RPKI system to generate certificates
that correspond to these delegations
– grant a unique "right-of-use" for the associated set of IP resources
28

29. About RPKI
• These certificates are called resource certificates and they
conform to X.509 PKIX standards
• RPKI is not used to validate attestations of an individual's
identity or that individual's role, but as a means to validate
that person’s authority to use IP address resources
• An RPKI resource certificate is required to enable a
resource holder to issue “Route Origination
Authorizations” (ROAs)
29

30. What is a ROA ?
• It is a digital object that contains a list of address prefixes
and one AS number
• It is an authority created by a prefix holder to authorizes an
AS number to originate one or more specific route
advertisements
• It does not contain any routing policy information, nor does
it convey whether or not the AS holder has even consented
to actually announce the prefix(es) into the routing system

31. APNIC’s RPKI Service
• Enhancement to the RIR Registry
– Offers verifiable proof of resources holdings
• Resource certification is an opt-in service
– Resource holders choose to request a certificate and provide their
public key to be certified
• APNIC has integrated RPKI management service into
MyAPNIC for APNIC Member use
31

32. What You Need To Know
• You are encouraged to experiment, test, play and develop
– Eg, you can create your ROAs
• RPKI standards are still being developed, and the operating
environment for RPKI use is still fragile
• It's ready for testing and prototyping. It's probably not ready
for production use just yet
• Please tell us what you find but don’t rely on it in your
network yet

33. APNIC Survey 2014
• 11 June - 11 July 2014
• Opportunity to provide input on APNIC’s performance,
development, and future direction
• Contributes to APNIC’s future planning processes
