With new and emerging technologies, cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and are increasing. Information about cyber threats, also known as threat intelligence, is a significant defence component, as it contains context, indicators of compromise (IoCs), implications and advised actions regarding identified and emerging possible threats. However, the application of threat intelligence requires that good-quality data be shared by organisations and states.

Introduction Welcome back to our journey into the realm of Internet routing security! In our previous article, "Securing Internet Routing with Cryptography: Quick Introduction to RPKI," we delved into the foundational concepts of Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), its role in securing the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and real-world examples showcasing the need for robust routing security measures.

Experimental IPv6-only network at APRICOT 2024 APRICOT is the Internet Network Operators Summit for the Asia Pacific region. Every year, a conference wireless network is built to provide connectivity for hundreds of delegates, with a separate "IPv6-only" SSID as an alternative for people to try. This year, we decided to experiment with a new approach, by using some of the recent mechanisms designed for "IPv6-mostly" networks to build a better "IPv6-only" network. What's IPv6-mostly?

Introduction In the intricate tapestry of the digital world, where data flows ceaselessly across networks, ensuring the integrity and security of Internet routing is paramount. Yet, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the backbone of Internet routing, has long been confronted with vulnerabilities that expose it to manipulation and hijacking. Here comes the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) – a cryptographic framework designed to fortify BGP and safeguard Internet routing against malicious actors.

As a result of the Number Resource Organization (NRO) Strategic Review Process, which started in 2022, the NRO agreed to work towards providing a robust, coordinated, and secure Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) service as one of the main priorities. The RPKI Steering Group, comprising routing security experts from all the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), collaborated to define the job description for the RPKI Program Manager and a global search was conducted in 2023.
