Subject: [ISA] [ncc-announce] [news] Expansion of eligible address
space for Resource Certification (RPKI)

Dear colleagues,
When the Resource Certification (RPKI) service was launched in
2011, only address space allocated to the RIPE NCC directly by IANA
was eligible for certification. Today, we are happy to announce that
all address space that was historically transferred to the RIPE NCC from
other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) is also eligible.
These ranges are so called "minority" address space, meaning that
the full /8 block is managed by one of the four other RIRs, but a subset
is managed by the RIPE NCC. LIRs who hold address space in these
minority ranges will automatically have those resources added to
their certificate, if they already have one. Starting today, they can
create Route Origin Authorisations (ROAs) for the BGP announcements that
they make with these prefixes.
Resource Certification (RPKI) is a free service offered by all RIRs
to offer BGP Origin Validation. It allows operators to request a
digital certificate containing their Internet number resources and
make cryptographically verifiable statements about their intended
BGP announcements. These ROAs allow other network operators to make
reliable routing decisions. In the RIPE NCC service region, more than
1,600 LIRs have requested a resource certificate and created ROAs for
over six /8s worth of address space.
