BEREC seeking input on "Very High Capacity Networks”
by Marco Hogewoning 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Dear colleagues, The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) has announced that it will launch the public consultation on the definition of "Very High Capacity Networks" earlier than planned. The consultation will be launched during a public debriefing, which will be held on 10 March in Brussels. This work is related to the implementation of the new European Electronic Communications Code (EECC), which introduces the concept of "Very High Capacity Networks" (VHCNs) in relation to the use of fiber optic networks and connectivity via mobile networks. The EU Directive 2018/1972, in article 82, instructs BEREC to issue a set of guidelines for the criteria that a network should fulfill to be classified as a VHCN, including in terms of down and uplink bandwidth, resilience, error-related parameters, and latency. This definition will then be used in other aspects of the directive, for example with respect to the building and licensing of those networks by commercial operators as well as in relation to public/private partnerships and co-investment options. At this stage, the RIPE NCC does not plan to contribute to this consultation process, but we encourage you to evaluate whether you wish to contribute on your behalf. Of course, if there is community consensus within this group, we could submit a response in our role as secretariat on behalf of the RIPE community. Feel free to comment publicly on this list if you wish to share your views. Please note that we recently contributed to a similar consultation on guidelines regarding the definition of adequate broadband access service, making the case that IPv6 should be an integral part of any Internet access service. You can find the text, along with the RIPE NCC’s other contributions to open consultations, on our website: https://www.ripe.net/participate/internet-governance/multi-stakeholder-enga… More information on the upcoming consultation and public debriefing event are available on BEREC's website at: https://www.berec.europa.eu/eng/news_and_publications/whats_new/6542-new-ti… Please let us know if you have any questions or comments. Best regards, Marco Hogewoning RIPE NCC

New on RIPE Labs: Our Response to the UN High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation Report
by Suzanne Taylor 02 Oct '19

02 Oct '19

Dear colleagues, Some of you may be aware of the report released by the UN Secretary-General’s High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation in June, titled "The Age of Digital Interdependence”. The report lays out a set of three different proposals for advancing global digital cooperation, one of which is an “IGF Plus” model. Given our long involvement with the existing IGF and our vested interest - as part of the Internet technical community - in maintaining a multistakeholder approach to Internet governance, the RIPE NCC has submitted a formal response to the UN panel's report through EuroDIG’s and the IGF’s dedicated channels.

@EXT: Do criminals dream of electric sheep? How technology shapes the future of crime and law enforcement
by Marcolla, Sara Veronica 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

New report triggers discussion about innovation and strategic foresight in EU policing The advent of so-called disruptive technologies - those that fundamentally alter the way we live, work and relate to one another - provides criminals with new ways to pursue their illegal goals, but also equips law enforcement with powerful tools in the fight against crime. Some of the emerging technologies include Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum computing, 5G, alternative decentralised networks and cryptocurrencies, 3D printing and biotech. These are set to have a profound impact on the criminal landscape and the ability of law enforcement authorities to respond to emerging threats. The disruption comes from the convergence between these new technologies, the previously unseen use cases and applications, and the challenges posed by existing legal and regulatory frameworks. The report aims to identify the security threats associated with this and points to ways for law enforcement to use the opportunities brought by these technologies to combat crime and terrorism. It also highlights the pivotal role of the private sector and the importance of law enforcement to engage more with these actors. Furthermore, it is of paramount importance that the voice of law enforcement is heard when legislative and regulatory frameworks are being discussed and developed, in order to have an opportunity to address their concerns and needs, particularly with regard to the accessibility of date and lawful interception. The report, as well as the full press release are available here: https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/do-criminals-dream-of-electric-… Kind regards, Sara Marcolla Europol - O3 European Cyber Crime Centre (EC3) Eisenhowerlaan 73, 2517 KK The Hague, The Netherlands Phone: +31(0)70 353 1044 www.europol.europa.eu ******************* DISCLAIMER : This message is sent in confidence and is only intended for the named recipient.

by Patrik Fältström 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Hi, As you can see below European Commission just released human rights guidance for 3 business sectors. I have helped COM and specifically IHRB with their piece of the work, and I know others on this list have also helped. Everything from more formal support to extremely good comments that have helped making the documents what they finally ended up being. Patrik Fältström Head of Research and Development Netnod Begin forwarded message: > From: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > Subject: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors > Date: 17 juni 2013 18:23:09 CEST > To: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > > We are pleased to announce the publication of the European Commission Sector Guides on Implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. > > > Download the Guides here: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=6711&lang… > > The Guides – for employment and recruitment agencies, ICT companies, and oil and gas companies – were developed over the past 18 months by Shift and IHRB through extensive research and multistakeholder consultation with representatives from the three industries as well as governments, trade unions, civil society, academia and other experts.

@EXT: EU Law Enforcement cooperation with the private sector: Advisory Groups
by Marcolla, Sara Veronica 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Hi all, Once again I would like to share with you some perspective on public-private cooperation, in this case between the EU Law Enforcement Agency (Europol) and its network of private partners. EC3, the EU Cybercrime Centre at Europol, established the Advisory Groups on Financial Services, Internet Security and Communication Providers to foster trust and cooperation between key private sector industries and law enforcement in their joint fight against cybercrime. They meet separately three times a year to share strategic information related to cybercrime threats and trends in their respective business areas, as well as to agree on joint initiatives alongside law enforcement. ==> Here you can find out who are the private partners (perhaps your company is already one!) as well as a bit of context about the activity of these Advisory Groups: https://www.europol.europa.eu/about-europol/european-cybercrime-centre-ec3/…. This infographic presents the highlights of last year's cooperation between EC3 and the AG on Internet Security: https://www.europol.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/is_a3version.pdf; whereas this one presents you the sum up of all activities carried out between EC3 and the AG on Communication Providers: https://www.europol.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/cp_a3version.pdf Last week, network operators from the Advisory Group on Communication Providers met with investigators to discuss the security challenges related to 5G, in particular lawful interception capabilities, cyber threats and investigative challenges. The following day, the Advisory Group on Internet Security gathered to discuss attacks against critical infrastructure and the anatomy of an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). Investigators presented case studies on different threat actors' Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP), as well as how information sharing with law enforcement can be improved. ==> Here is a link to the original press release: https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/ec3-advisory-groups-%E2%80%93-l… Kind regards, Sara Marcolla Europol - O3 European Cyber Crime Centre (EC3) Eisenhowerlaan 73, 2517 KK The Hague, The Netherlands www.europol.europa.eu ******************* DISCLAIMER : This message is sent in confidence and is only intended for the named recipient.

@EXT: NoMoreRansom project: fourth decryption tool neutralises latest version of GandCrab ransomware
by Marcolla, Sara Veronica 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi all, When we talk about public-private cooperation, we often think in very abstract terms. It is not always the case. Today, for instance, a new decryption tool for the latest version of the most prolific ransomware family GandCrab has been released free of charge on www.nomoreransom.org<http://www.nomoreransom.org>. Previous decryptors for the GandCrab ransomware have helped more than 30 000 victims recover their data and save roughly $50 million in unpaid ransoms. Law enforcement and IT Security companies have joined forces to disrupt cybercriminal businesses with ransomware connections. The "No More Ransom" website is an initiative by the National High Tech Crime Unit of the Netherlands' police, Europol's European Cybercrime Centre and McAfee with the goal to help victims of ransomware retrieve their encrypted data without having to pay the criminals. The recent tool, for instance, is the fruit of cooperation between EU and US police forces. Together with Bitdefender. The police cannot fight cybercrime, and ransomware in particular, on its own. And security researchers cannot do it without support from law enforcement agencies. Responsibility for the fight against ransomware is shared between the police, the justice department, Europol and IT security companies, and requires a joint effort. Together we will do everything in our power to disrupt criminals' money-making schemes and return files to their rightful owners, without the latter having to pay loads of money. The full press release is here: https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/just-released-fourth-decryption… If your company is interested in supporting the project, you can get in touch with us.

Fwd: Report on ITU Study Group 20 meeting 3-13 December 2018
by Marco Hogewoning 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Dear colleagues, Please find below a report on the meeting of ITU Study Group 20, that I have just shared with the IPv6 Working Group. As you may know, the RIPE IPv6 Working Group, earlier this year, was invited to review a draft Recommendation on an IPv6 addressing plan for IoT. That feedback served as input to this Study Group meeting. Regards, Marco Hogewoning RIPE NCC > The meeting of ITU Study Group 20 in Wuxi, China, just finished and I’d like to give you a brief report on the discussions of the work on a draft Recommendation on IPv6 addressing. > > This meeting was the group's first face-to-face meeting since our discussion of the draft Recommendation at RIPE 77 in May 2018 and the July 2018 draft review deadline. The RIPE community's comments were brought to the meeting as a Liaison Statement. > > Several other parties also submitted their own Contributions, including the RIPE NCC in its role as an ITU Sector Member. The proposal in our Contribution, with reference to earlier discussions and your review, was to discontinue this particular Work Item. The United States Government and ARIN made Contributions along similar lines, seeking to stop the work developing this particular Recommendation. This position was also supported by the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and several sector members. > > I’d like to highlight that both in their Contribution and interventions, the US expressed their gratitude to the RIPE community for their extensive review and feedback on the draft Recommendation. > > The main author of the draft submitted a Contribution with their account of our discussions at RIPE 77 and the review process, as well as a joint Contribution with the Beijing University for Post and Telecommunications providing a case study of an IPv6 address plan. > > Having taken all of these contributions and interventions into consideration, the focus of the meeting discussion was on whether or not the work should continue. Unfortunately, the RIPE community’s feedback was only taken into consideration as a high-level conclusion that the current text does not meet the technical standards expected, and the actual text of the draft was not reviewed or revised during this meeting. > > Unable to reach consensus, the question of whether the work should continue was deferred upwards to the meeting of the Working Party and finally to the closing plenary. > > During the closing plenary, the Chairman of Study Group 20 proposed continuing the work for at least one more meeting on the premise that the draft’s main author would come back with a Contribution addressing the concerns raised with the current draft. He emphasised that the work item would be dropped unless there were contributions and agreement to advance the text at the next meeting. > > The RIPE NCC accepted the Chairman’s proposal as a constructive way forward. We look forward to the contributions at the next meeting with the expectation that they will address the concerns raised during your review. > > We would like to thank you again for the constructive comments raised during the review process. We would also like thank the Question’s rapporteur, associate rapporteur and the Study Group’s management team for all their time and assistance, and of course all the member states and sector members that participated in this discussion. > > The next meeting of Study Group 20 is scheduled to take place in mid-April, in Geneva, Switzerland.
