Greetings,

One can always go to the local authorities, then jurisdiction and how the local 
justice/court system works comes into play.

The RIRs have an authoritative view about who owns what, and they share it with 
everyone, so to me that's the simplest way.

Regards,
Carlos

Hello Carlos,

If you believe this is true, then you can forward a claim to the local 
authorities as signing a Fake LOA is a criminal offense which could end in 
imprisonment. 

Best Regards,

Yes, that didn't reach the final version in an explicit way... :-)

Luckly! :-)

I completely agree. And there is a fairly recent & notorious case...

Nonetheless, the key idea is that we should be turning to "cryptographic 
trust", instead of papers (forged or not).

A key point that the article misses is that yes, LOAs can (and have
been) forged. However forging them is a criminal act (in the US it will
be charged under "wirefraud" statutes) -- and numerous of the criminal
proceedings which have been undertaken for theft of IP resources have
used the wirefraud statutes.

Yes, stealing a private key (or guessing a password to it) and then
creating cryptographic signed objects is also likely to be criminal but
it may be somewhat harder for courts to understand (and for the matter
for prosecutors to identify suitable caselaw that makes the current case
somewhat more open and shut).

whereas laughably weak passwords are a little harder to spot ]]

Hi,

Great for you and the networks you manage, unfortunately (in the ~75k 
networks/autonomous systems) there is still people around the world that accept 
and rely on simple signed papers by someone. Even if who signs it can't hold 
what they claim with the RIRs' trust anchors... ;-) 

ps: unfortunately i have not enabled IPv6 on something today (did my part long 
ago...), but last week i still received a LoA :-) so yes, some people are still 
pushing papers.

Cheers,
Carlos

It's a good writeup to enlighten the unenlighted, but hardly a "novel
approach" ("introduces the idea...") - this is how we've run our network
for the last 20 years, or so.  IRR filters based on RIPE route: objects,
and later on ROA info.

Paper never played any role in authorizing route announcements here (not
