IGF Theme(s) for workshop: Managing Critical Internet Resources
Main theme question address by workshop: Questions 3,4,5 and 6
Concise description of the proposed workshop:
Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a system developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to validate the registration of Internet number resources, including IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6). The use of RPKI will help to ensure the long-term stability of Internet routing by preventing route hijacking and leaking. This provides a safer online environment for Internet users.
As with DNSSEC, this certification represents the continuing evolution and strengthening of the Internet's infrastructure. The RIRs are taking a responsible role in its development, working work under the guidance of their members and wider communities, which at this time are actively discussing the merits of RPKI in general, and the details of high level RPKI trust anchors (Global Trust Anchors) specifically. No consensus has yet been formed about specifics of the global trust anchor implementation.As the Regional Internet Registries move toward deployment of this technology, community members have noted that such a system raises a number of questions relating to Internet governance and administrative control of Internet routing. Starting with a straightforward explanation of the concepts and technology behind RPKI, the workshop will examine the implications of RPKI for Internet Service Providers, governments, law enforcement agencies and individual Internet users
