Hmmm... I Don't know why this is happening. Considering my default set-up on the Gmail interface is defined to use Normal size. https://pasteboard.co/JPG2ZoK.png In fact, I had not even realized that this mail-list forwarded emails in the exact format they were generated. Usually, they set mailman to convert everything to pure-text. But thank you Mama for teaching me good manners. I will try to behave better, a search how to fix the size... P.S.: If you cloud help-me to fix that on Gmail, I can show you the Zoom Function on the Browsers or mail readers.

If someone has a valid CA cert/key from the RIR, it's very hard to argue 'fraudulent'. It's, however, "easy" for the RIR to reverse the error, right? :)

Really, does anyone here think that it is good form to send email with font size *SMALL*? If your MUA does this by default complain to the developers. The default should be “medium”. If the font is too big on your screen change the magnification *you* choose to display to *yourself*, don’t change the font size you send to everyone else. Mark Well...

Re: LOAs for Cross Connects - Something like PeeringDB for XC
The LOA type model is one of the ones we showed on slideware when we presented RTA in IETF, and at the CloudFlare RPKI workshop years ago. The detached signature model inherent in RTA and RSC goes to "you define the business logic" It's not proscriptive. I saw nothing proposed here which I thought wasn't a rational thing to try and certify in this manner. The key point is, the "action" you want to approve has to vest in "who controls the stated internet number resources" -If they have no bearing, then its not rational to propose using (R)PKI to do it. some other PKI? sure. Randy is correct that the processes are baroque, not well defined, come with all kinds of corner cases: what does a more specific command (regarding some IP address) if its not signed and the parent is? or, if the more specific is, and the parent isn't?) Randy is also correct that RPKI certificates by design, do not permit their use in ways which go directly to things like identity proofs. detached signatures open the door to doing some things here, because you can sign over something which ways "the person identified by the following public key is to be permitted to ..." And in like sense, we removed the uses which go to message encryption, sender or receiver. You can't directly use an RPKI certificate to do "for your eyes only" -it can only say "the person controlling these numbers, says the following" Obviously, I think this detached signature model is good :-) On Tue, Feb 23, 2021 at 6:31 AM Randy Bush wrote: > > >> What if PeeringDB would be the CA for the Facilities? > >> Supposedly this solves the CA problem of the "Colo Folks". > > > > I think pushing your security identification out (as the notional > > equinix) to a third party where you can't revoke/change/etc is asking > > for dangerous things to happen. > > there are a few examples of industry associations with simple, strong, > and formal ties sufficient to allow forms of trust automation. folk > such as karen o'donoghue, lucy lynch, and heather flanagan would be able > to speak vastly more knowledgeably in this space than i. > > > again, that draft is a... draft still and I"m sure we'll have a bunch > > of chatter/discussion/changes before done, but it smells like it might > > help. > > you might notice that we use it in draft-ietf-opsawg-finding-geofeeds. > but that application is specifically to use rpki data to attest to ip > address ownership. the problem there is that the draft is a cool proof > of concept, but is not operationally easy to use. > > randy > > --- > ra...@psg.com > `gpg --locate-external-keys --auto-key-locate wkd ra...@psg.com` > signatures are back, thanks to dmarc header mangling

The 'strength' of the RPKI (vs the web-pki) is that there are a defined number of ways into the system. You have ip space (IP Number Assets)? you get CA-cert and can create ROA. there are surely a host of corner cases with 'use the rpki to sign not INR things!!!', but at least: "Are you sure that's the right foo.bar? not f00.bar? or fOO.bar?" "yes, they have a CA cert signed by the RIR, with INRs they can toggle ROA for.. if that CA cert signed the checklist then 'ok'" again, that draft is a... draft still and I"m sure we'll have a bunch of chatter/discussion/changes before done, but it smells like it might help. > Would PeeringDB be interested in that? > > > Em seg., 22 de fev. de 2021 às 16:04, Christopher Morrow > escreveu: >> >> On Mon, Feb 22, 2021 at 1:39 PM Randy Bush wrote: >> > >> > > are you asking about something like this: >> > > https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-spaghetti-sidrops-rpki-rsc/ >> > > >> > > Which COULD be used to, as an AS holder: >> > > "sign something to be sent between you and the colo and your intended >> > > peer" >> > > >> > > that you could sign (with your rpki stuffs) and your peer could also >> > > sign with their 'rpki stuffs', and which the colo provider could >> > > automatically validate and action upon final signature(s) received. >> > >> > chris, >> > >> > way back, the rirs were very insistant that their use of rpki authority >> > was most emphatically not to be considered an identity service. this >> > permeated the design; e.g., organization names were specifically >> > forbidden in certificate CN, Subject Alternative Name, etc. >> > >> >> yup, I agree... though the b2b stuff George/Geoff have written up LOOKS like >> it could be useful for this LOA type discussion.

I agree that 'today' equinix (or the notional other Colo/etc folk) are unlikely to be able to make this work. In the future though, if the colo's customers are RPKI users, and the colo has some (probably) relatively simple code in hand they could perform verifications of this sort. I guess I didn't ask: "Do you want this to work 'now'? or is '2 to 5 yrs acceptable'?" :) Of course any new thing must be better than the world-of-faxes we live in today for this solution space, and it has to be adotable by the parties involved. -chris

Re: LOAs for Cross Connects - Something like PeeringDB for XC
Well... I must confess that I had some difficulty on the first understanding of what is proposed. But after the 4 reads, I saw that this "spaghetti" thing is more powerful than I could imagine! Please correct me if I'm no right: But it looks like a "crypto sign and publishes" anything related to an organization. Yes, I think that with some effort CrossConnect LOAs can be fitted inside of it... I'm not sure if it is the better solution for the scope of LOAs, but certainly is a valid discussion. What is bubbling in my mind is the standard data model for each type of different attribute that can exist... Who will define that?
