REN Routing Security

[Anita Nikolich <>]

All -

I'm thrilled to be working part time with I2 on routing security, a topic dear to my heart.

I'm still getting up to speed, but who's committed to MANRS and to what parts of it? (I saw GWU and ESnet has already signed up.) A couple of the actions seem pretty straightforward (i.e., #3 maintaining your contact info) and some are clearly complex (i.e., RPKI). Internet2 is trying to understand what the community is willing and able to do.

Now that folks in this group have had some time to mull this over, are there other tools/activities that should be discussed by the group to improve R&E routing security? I saw the ARTEMIS presentation - did people find it compelling enough to suggest its use? In order to demonstrate the importance of some of these simple (yet time consuming) activities within MANRS, would it be helpful to set some parameters for metrics that would lend credence to the value of them?

Though it's summer, should we schedule one more call in the next couple weeks to address: 1. willingness to implement MANRS and 2. metrics of success? Not tied to these topics, but before we know it TechX and Fall will be here.

Thank you for indulging me in the many questions!
