Autonomic Networking Gets Serious by Michael Behringer et al [Cisco Internet Protocol Journal - p2]

In May 2021, six Request For Comments (RFCs) about autonomic networking were published as a result of the work of the Autonomic Networking Integrated Model and Approach (ANIMA) working group of the IETF. These RFCs complete the initial charter of that working group, which was started in late 2014; however, the first documents to be discussed in the IETF and Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) were posted in 2012[13]). This foundation now allows the industry to build IETF-standardized network solutions for an Autonomic Networking Infrastructure (ANI) into every network device.

A Survey on Securing Inter-Domain Routing: Part 1 – BGP: Design, Threats, and Security Requirements by Geoff Huston [Cisco Internet Protocol Journal - p19]

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the inter-domain routing protocol on the Internet, and after some 30 years of operation, BGP is now one of its more venerable core proto-cols. One of the major ongoing concerns related to BGP is its lack of effective security measures, and as a result the routing infrastructure of the Internet continues to be vulnerable to various forms of attack. In Part 1 of this study, we will look at the design of BGP, the threat model, and the requirements from a security framework for BGP. In Part 2 we will look at the various proposals to add security to the routing environment and also evaluate the current state of the effort in the IETF to provide a standard specification of the elements of a secure BGP framework.

DNSSEC with RSA-4096 keys by Geoff Huston

Let’s look at the operation of DNSSEC and its use of public key cryptographic algorithms. ... There has been some recent review of this 2020 Flag Day recommendation, and an Internet draft in the DNSOP Working Group of the IETF recommends a EDNS UDP buffer size of 1,400 octets, which would certainly accommodate the larger responses of DNSKEY records when using RSA-4096 and corresponds with common current practice in DNS resolvers while still avoiding gratuitous truncation and re-query over TCP.

Overcoming the Challenges of IPv4 Exhaustion

... In a sense, IPv4 exhaustion results from the internet being too popular for its own good. When the IETF introduced the standard in 1981, the more than 4 billion addresses it encompassed seemed more than ample. Within a decade, though, it had become apparent that far more would be needed. IPv6, a successor specification introduced in 1998 and ratified as a standard in 2017, can accommodate virtually unlimited IP connectivity.

High-performance networks allow us to reimagine the value of digital

High-performance 5G networks are bringing limitless connectivity, unlocking higher predictability and up to five-nines resilience across existing and new business, society, and mission-critical use cases. With such a powerful foundation, the new era of digital infrastructure is opening up the possibilities for innovation and business delivery that are beyond the imaginable. ... As industries and technologies begin to develop, scale and shift rapidly, this strong baseline will continue to be secured through common global mobile standards frameworks such as 3GPP, IETF, ETSI, GSMA, and NIST, as well as industry-specific fora such as 5GAA and AECC, and global cybersecurity consortia such as CONCORDIA.

Want to Help Guide the Future of the MANRS Routing Security Initiative? by Dan York

Would you like to help guide the future of the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) initiative? As the MANRS community continues to develop new efforts to make the routing layer of the Internet more secure (ex. the equipment vendor program), would you like to help lead the work? The MANRS community is seeking volunteers for its new Steering Committee. The committee will lead the community as it evolves its governance model.

DNSSEC with RSA-4096 keys by Geoff Huston, João Damas 

Let’s look at the operation of DNSSEC and its use of public key cryptographic algorithms. The DNSSEC specification does not define in advance which algorithm you should use to generate the digital signature records for a DNSSEC-signed zone. And that's a very good thing. The issue here is that cryptographic algorithms do not generate computationally impossible problems. Instead, they generate computationally infeasible problems.

Why Is the Client-Side Scanning a Concern for Encryption? by Nathalia Sautchuk-Patrício

As today is the Global Encryption Day, I decided to make my first post here on this topic. About two months ago, Apple caused a controversy by announcing the adoption of a measure to combat the spread of Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM). The controversy was so huge that, a month after its announcement, Apple decided to postpone its plans for the new features to have more time to gather information from the various stakeholders and implement improvements before releasing the measures originally announced.

The 2021 TLS Telemetry Report

Creating an encrypted HTTPS website depends on a lot more than simply throwing a digital certificate at it and hoping for the best. As old protocols prove to be insecure and new standards emerge, it has never been more important to keep HTTPS configurations up to date. In fact, Transport Layer Security (TLS) and HTTPS misconfigurations are now so commonplace that in the 2021 OWASP Top 10, Cryptographic Failures now comes in second place.

Leonard Kleinrock Internet Pioneer by Dr. Morten Bay, USC Annenberg School of Communication

The emergence of the Internet has profoundly affected our existence and the world we live in. Rooted in the efforts of a small group of people who had a vision and performed the intense labor necessary to realize it, the Internet has grown into a technological movement born of the collaborations of its contributors. One of those essential early figures in the Internet’s history is Leonard Kleinrock. Morten Bay describes Kleinrock’s remarkable life and career as a co-creator of one of the greatest inventions in human history.

Fifty Years On – What to Expect in the Next 50 Years of the Internet by Geoff Huston

When did the Internet begin? It all gets a bit hazy after so many years, but by the early 1970s, research work in packet-switched networks was well underway, and while it wasn't running TCP at the time (the flag day when the ARPANET switched over to use TCP was not until 1 January 1983) but there was the base datagram internet protocol running in the early research ARPA network in the US.

Natural Language Interface Accessibility User Requirements – call for review

Spoken interaction with mobile devices and consumer appliances such as smart speakers is now commonplace. Chatbots and similar text-based user interfaces can be included in Web applications. Telephone systems employing speech input and output are widely deployed. The common element in these scenarios is that the user interface operates via a textual, linguistic interaction; in this sense, it is a natural language interface.
