Re: [manrs-community] Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology

Posted by Brandon Z. on Nov 13

Hi guys,

In technical terms, RIRs can indeed configure IPs to become RPKI invalid.
However, my point is not to remove RPKI but to make it invalid.

This could happen; for example, RIPE was required to remove all IRRs
related to Russia (I'm glad RIPE has not done this).

Decentralization can address this issue; it's not just a hype concept.

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology

Posted by Roman Tatarnikov on Nov 13

Brandon, I blockchain and BGP were discussed on NANOG some years ago, back
when the deployment of RPKI was brought up. Short answer - it won't solve jack
and will use tons of computation power.

I'm not really going to go into details, but essentially adding a band-aid
instead of adopting RPKI and addressing the issues with RIR is not the best
course of action.

In such a scenario I’d argue for less automation to prevent such a rogue RIR from being able to cause such a disruption
to the Internet.

To expand on what Tom mentioned, Networks are not yet rejecting announcements with a NotFound validation. Even if such
an event did occur I’d be willing to bet most network operators are going to be leaning on their interpersonal
connections rather than automation to reestablish peering with networks....

Hi Brandon,

That's not how blockchain works. Validation is time-bound and
irrevocable. Only the current key-holder can transfer the validated
material to another entity. Effecting such transfers requires minimal
computation, on the order of a few HTTPS transfers.

Under block chain, an RIR would not be able to revoke number
resources, not even for non-payment or fraud. And if the keys
associated with an address block were lost or stolen,...

For what it's worth, this is quite implementation specific and leaves a lot of room for intentional and appropriate
design decisions. Custom smart contract (think "decentralized program") code could be used to enable the functionality
desired for an RIR, without other functionality.
Let's extrapolate: An RIR could use smart contracts with immutable code to allow an entity to register a specific block
and retain certain...

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology

Incorrect.

If the RIR revokes the resource certificate used to sign the ROA, the ROA
is also then revoked. Validator software will then remove the VRPs that had
been created from that previously valid ROA. If there are no other VRPs
that cover the BGP message parameters, the validator will return NOTFOUND.

If the RIR refused to publish or deleted the ROA, validators will
eventually delete them, which also removes the VRP previously created. If...

Not really. If it's technically feasible to override or roll back
transactions, you've violated one of the central tenets of block
chain. You can design a system that allows transactions to be rolled
back or changed by a central authority but the result would not be a
block chain and would not have the desired characteristic of
resistance against government compulsion.

To be clear, I did not state such. Ownership can be transferred by smart contract. This does not violate a core tenet
of blockchains and is a key feature of almost all blockchains which still exhibit signs of life.

Re: Implementing Decentralized RPKI with Blockchain Technology

If the RIR can institute a revocation via smart contract, for any
reason, then you haven't achieved any resilience against government
compulsion applied to the RIR, which was Brandon's reason for
considering blockchain in the first place.

Thanks for raising this topic. In all the rush to deploy RPKI I fear these issues are not talked
about enough.

A variant of this could make some sense, the issue is that it doesn't do you a whole lot of good to
have a local RPKI anchor that you and your local community look to if the global internet community
isn't looking at it - sure, your IPs are routable to a few of your friends, but they can't reach
Google...oops....

Tom,

Something I’ve been curious about for some time: since deployment of RPKI is (mostly) hosted by the RIRs and
ultimately, the RIRs control the validation chain, what would happen if the RIR creates (or, if you prefer, is directed
by court order to create) INVALIDs?

ICYMI: AP has called the House race with Republicans winning the majority

That makes it a congressional red sweep and the question now is just how much of a majority will they command in the House? The latest NYT projections here show Republicans do have the needed 218 seats claimed for a majority. However, there are still 9 seats yet to be called.

There are some seats such as Iowa 1 and California 45, which are toss ups, that could go to a recount and take a longer time to settle due to the current margins. For some context, here is a list of the more competitive districts as a reference.

But even if you give those two to the Democrats, Republicans will at least snag Alaska 1 to end with 219 seats. That is the bare minimum that they should win with when all is said and done.

USD/JPY enters into the pocket of space, potentially freeing up more gains

The dollar continues to push higher in the post-election period and in the case of USD/JPY, that momentum is helped by higher yields as well. The pair has been on a tear since October trading, racing up from 143.00 all the way to touching 156.00 earlier today. The break above 155.00 yesterday is a crucial one, signifying another breach of a key technical/psychological level.

When it comes to USD/JPY, there's always something about big figure levels. And this is arguably no exception.

With buyers clearing the key daily moving averages and 150.00 mark last month, the focus has been drawn on the 155.00 mark since. And inevitably with Trump winning the election, we've finally gotten there today.

And having done so, we're into a bit of a pocket of space with little to no technical resistance all the way to 160.00 potentially.

It doesn't mean we'll get there overnight but it does present an attractive level for buyers to take aim at. Nonetheless, the pace of any further gains will of course be another thing to be mindful of though.

That might invite scrutiny from Japan officials to verbally intervene. As for any real intervention threat, it's going to be tough to fight the underlying market momentum in play currently. So, I wouldn't imagine Tokyo trying that out - at least for the time being.

The bond market is once again going to be a key driver to be mindful of when it comes to USD/JPY. But for now, the overall dollar bullishness is also helping to underpin the pair rather strongly. That especially when the greenback is starting to creep up on some key technical levels in the bigger picture, as seen here with EUR/USD.
