KREONET

KISTI | Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information has introduced full-scale Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) to KREONET (Korea Research Environment Open NETwork) — becoming the first in Korea to operationalize RPKI across a national research and education network.

In collaboration with KISA (Korea Internet & Security Agency), KISTI has established a routing authentication framework that issues and validates Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) for KREONET’s autonomous system numbers (ASNs). This framework ensures that only verified IP prefixes are advertised through the network, significantly reducing the risk of route hijacking and configuration errors — both of which can disrupt large-scale scientific data transfers and collaborative research activities.

This RPKI deployment is part of KISTI’s broader effort to comply with Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) — a global initiative led by the Internet Society to enhance Internet routing security.

By adopting RPKI, KISTI contributes to a more secure and resilient Internet infrastructure, while also strengthening the trustworthiness of KREONET as a critical platform for AI- and HPC-based data-intensive research and international collaboration.
