In April, LACNIC will migrate to the new RPKI resource authentication system, which has already reached a 50% adoption rate in IPv4 and nearly 40% in IPv6.
The new RPKI system
LACNIC’s new RPKI system will be operational during the week of 15 to 22 April and will incorporate the standard elements defined by the IETF.
The new version will have greater stability than its predecessor and will incorporate open-source technologies that have been tested in similar environments.

The migration process
The LACNIC team has been developing and implementing this new open-source platform based on Krill, a free, open-source RPKI Certificate Authority that lets you run delegated RPKI under one or multiple Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) for nearly two years, which will increase the robustness of the resource certification system.
The migration process will be transparent to the users of the platform, users should not notice any impact on the service when accessing through LACNIC website.
Migration is scheduled to begin at 9.30 a.m. (UTC-3) on 15 April and is expected to take approximately three hours to complete.
