As any reader of the NANOG mailing list knows, the push to implement the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) has gained momentum over the past year. AT&T has begun dropping invalid routes, NTT uses RPKI data to generate filters, and Cloudflare has developed new validation software. At the same time as these technical efforts have been undertaken, the American Registry of Internet Numbers (ARIN) has also undertaken a review of its legal arrangements regarding RPKI. This lightning talk will provide brief background to the uninitiated and then update attendees on discussions held regarding RPKI at the recent ARIN meeting in Barbados. It will describe the key issues under discussion and the potential approaches ARIN might take to resolving them. It will also highlight recommendations about the best potential approaches to resolving these issues, based on research conducted with Christopher Yoo and funded by National Science Foundation Award #1748362.
