Opinion: The making of an RFC in today’s IETF by Geoff Huston

I’m a co-author (or is that ‘co-editor’ in today’s politically correct environment?) of an Internet Draft that is closing in for publication as a Requests for Comment (RFC).

Internet standardized for end-users

The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) has published the RFC 8890 standard document entitled “The Internet is for End Users.” ... In the document, IAB argues to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) — which in turn, is responsible for the technical standards — to consider the needs and interests of the internet users in the future.

RFC 8890 on The Internet is for End Users

Abstract: This document explains why the IAB believes that, when there is a conflict between the interests of end users of the Internet and other parties, IETF decisions should favor end users. It also explores how the IETF can more effectively achieve this.

How to prepare your organisation for the quantum computing era [registration]

Within the next few years a quantum computer will crack encryption. This once in a generation event will, in a single moment, render the entire world’s data vulnerable to theft and exploitation. While every cyber security team must deal with everyday threats, quantum computers are the ‘mega-threat’ to which their attention must now turn.

How IT Departments Really View Networked AV: Part II

... The migration of video within the pro AV industry to IP is being promoted by AIMS (The Alliance for IP Media Solutions). They have created a working group whose efforts will be based on evaluating and recommending existing standards and specifications from AES (Audio Engineering Society), AWMA (Advanced Workflow Media Association), VSF, SMPTE, IEEE, and IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). This is a mix of standards that have traditionally come from both the broadcast and IT industries.

Así, en 1995, a través de un documento titulado “RFC 1855: directrices de la netiqueta”, y que fue publicado por el Grupo de Trabajo de Ingeniería de Internet (IETF), se establecieron las primeras recomendaciones al respecto. Desde entonces, el tiempo ha pasado y las tecnologías de comunicación han evolucionado.

Was ist IPv6, und warum sind wir noch nicht so weit? [What is IPv6, and why aren't we ready yet?]

... Glücklicherweise hat die Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) dies bereits vor 20 Jahren erkannt. Im Jahr 1998 schuf sie IPv6, das stattdessen 128-Bit-Adressen verwendet, um etwa 340 Billionen Billionen (oder 2 hoch 128, wenn Sie so wollen) Geräte zu unterstützen. Anstelle der IPv4-Adressierungsmethode mit vier Sätzen von ein- bis dreistelligen Zahlen verwendet IPv6 acht Gruppen von vier hexadezimalen Ziffern, die durch Doppelpunkte getrennt sind.

... ビットコインに代表される分散型のシステムでは、分散型に合ったガバナンスが必要だと金融庁は考えている。規制機関によるトップダウンアプローチは有効ではなく、関係者全員が顔を合わせて話し合う「マルチステークホルダー」のアプローチが求められる。この考え方は、インターネット技術を推進する団体IETF（Internet Engineering Task Force）の技術ガバナンスなどを参考にしている。

全球根域名管理机构主席澄清关于根服务器若干传言 [The President of the Global Root Domain Name Management Agency clarified a number of rumours about the root server.]

... 1983年，IETF的RFC 882和RFC 883两个文档对互联网域名系统DNS进行了描述与定义。1984-1985年，早期根域名系统于美国建成，该系统由四台服务器组成，它们分别使用四个独立的IP地址。此后，随着互联网的发展，根服务器的数量经历了多次增加。1987年，新增三台服务器，1991年新增一台，1993年又增加一台，1998年再增四台。至此，根服务器系统增加至13台，并各自拥有1个IP地址。

丁健：新基建和数字化转型 都必须先面对标准化的问题 [Ding Jian: New infrastructure and digital transformation must first face the problem of standardisation.]

... 丁健谈到，互联网在出现之前用了十几年的时间做标准、讨论标准，他在1992年、1993年加入IETF，讨论整个互联网的标准，所以知道每一个标准形成的过程。今天数字传递很容易的背后，都是因为当年有一群人写了一个标准，才能互联网可以进行中文传输。

“IPv6+”构建全场景的智能联接 支撑数字化未来 ["IPv6 Plus" builds intelligent connections across the scene to support the digital future.]

... “IPv6+的使命包括三个方面：基于IP可达性的高效跨域联接与业务部署；基于IPv6扩展头等机制支持更多种类的封装，满足新业务的需求；基于IPv6实现IP网络与应用的融合，提升网络价值。”来自IETF互联网架构委员会(IAB)的成员李振斌表示，“令人欣喜的是，近年来IPv6+创新和标准化稳步有序展开，取得了长足的进步，特别是SRv6的所有基础特性的草案都已经被IETF工作组接纳，SRH的RFC也已经正式发布，同时SRv6实现了规模化部署，满足5G和云时代新需求。”

丁健：未来智能产业生态的三个核心要素 [Ding Jian: Three core elements of the future intelligent industry ecology.]

... 我觉得我们要真正的去说，通过产业政策法规、通过基础设施、通过各种各样的配套激励政策，这些大家都知道。但我觉得我们没有做，我们不要总是去鼓励我们的企业竞争、竞争、竞争。市场化重要，但是在竞争的同时，在模块化和标准化时代，你一定要合作、一定要联盟。我们当年在1995年回来之前，从1988年开始参与到IETF美国互联网的标准，标准里有一句非常著名的口号叫大概的共识就行了，谁把软件写出来，我们大家就用它的标准了，你把它贡献出来就好了。于是，互联网上全部都是用开源软件起来的。所以如何推动？如何鼓励创新？先行先试。另外非常重要的，在一个合作的时代、开源的时代，法制、知识产权的保护、契约精神，这就是我们企业要做的。

Hacking Cyber Space

Today satellites provide basic communications—from personal phone calls to televised events. So it's not too surprising that hackers are turning their attention toward this "Final Frontier." Talks and events at Black Hat USA 2020 and DEF CON 28 held earlier this month highlight the urgent need to secure basic satellite systems. ... To achieve that privacy goal, Pavur and a team of fellow academics announced a new tool that encrypts communications signals by default. QPEP stands for QUIC (a protocol) Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs). It is a UDP-based alternative to what's used today.

Fears around bot traffic and bot-powered DDoS attacks persist

Thanks to the proliferation of the Internet of Things, the ability for bots to cause havoc at a global level has increased significantly. IoT devices are susceptible to becoming part of a malicious botnet, and it’s possible for hackers to weaponise IoT devices to launch powerful DDoS attacks. As more devices are connected to the Internet, these types of attack pose an increased risk to not only the defences of an enterprise but also to a whole nation.

APWG Q2 Report: Cybercrime Gangs Attempting and Achieving Heists of Ever Greater Scale

The APWG’s new Phishing Activity Trends Report for Q2 2020 details how companies are losing money to criminals who are launching Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks as a more remunerative line of business than retail-accounts phishing. The organizations perfecting these criminal enterprises now include a sophisticated Russian cyber-gang, in addition to the West African scammers who have traditionally perpetrated BEC attacks.

The State of Routing Security at DNS Registries

The DNS is an important component of the Internet, but it was not designed with security in mind. In the last 20 years or so, much attention has been directed at improving its inherently insecure aspects.

Limiting the power of RPKI authorities

In the beginning, Internet infrastructure was not originally designed with security in mind. Luckily, this mindset has changed over the years, mainly due to the growing number of attacks, and has prompted the design of security measures such as DNSSEC and Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI).

Security, Intelligence and the Global Health Crisis

The impact of COVID-19 both globally and in Canada has raised important questions about best practices with regard to global and domestic health surveillance, early warning and preparedness. Critical to an understanding of these issues is a clear-sighted appreciation of the interface between health security and national security. As the world embarks on an intense effort to explain the onset of the pandemic and to learn lessons from the global response, it will be vital to develop and sustain a public policy debate about the role of security and intelligence institutions in protecting societies against pandemic outbreaks. This essay series — designed to bridge academic and practitioner knowledge — aims to make a high-impact contribution to that debate.

A security flaw in wolfSSL, the popular SSL/TLS library designed for embedded, RTOS, and IoT environments, leaves networks at risk of manipulator-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. ...

5G Drives the Distributed Edge Featured

After years of anticipation, 2019 saw some of the first rollouts of 5G, with deployments growing significantly this year and continuing to increase in 2021. At the same time, according to the Linux Foundation’s State of the Edge 2020 report, by 2028, edge infrastructure will have a power footprint of 102,000 MW, and over $700 billion in cumulative CAPEX would have been spent within the next decade on edge IT infrastructure and data center facilities.

To complete 5G wireless network proliferating fast in South Korea, state-run Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) will come up with extra security system. ... The existing 4G network provides internet services through a centralized core network, which means security management is relatively simple, but 5G is vulnerable to elevated security threats partly because of its connection to a huge number of connected devices including the internet of things (IoT), through which adversaries can attack.
