Peder Bach
Peder Bach is the public name attached to RIPE contact handle PB23329-RIPE, the administrative and technical contact for Tolletaten's autonomous system AS212064 (TOLL-NO). Public evidence does not verify a current biography, job title, or personal authority; the subject matters solely as a registry traceability marker for Norwegian Customs' external network surface.
Why It Matters
The impact mechanism is traceability: if PB23329-RIPE, MNT-TOLL, AS212064 route visibility, or related RIPE references change, analysts may need to revise how they follow Tolletaten's externally visible network footprint. The practical consequence is registry due diligence around customs-facing digital infrastructure and border-data flows, not a evidence-led claim about personal control.
What Public Sources Show
Norwegian Customs handles the flow of goods across Norway's borders, a function that is increasingly digitised through systems like Digitoll. When analysts need to understand the public network registration surface of Tolletaten, the customs authority, one of the few visible markers is the name Peder Bach, listed in RIPE registry records for autonomous system AS212064. Yet public sources do not confirm that this name maps to a current employee or decision-maker; its value lies in registry traceability, not personal authority.
Registry data from RIPE shows that AS212064 (TOLL-NO) is allocated to Tolletaten ORGL, with administrative and technical contacts both pointing to handle PB23329-RIPE. A role entry named Peder Bach is associated with that handle. Official pages from the Norwegian Customs website explain the agency's mission to ensure safe and legal trade, and describe Digitoll as the new digital customs-processing system that obliges businesses to submit transport, consignment, and declaration information before or upon border crossing. These pages provide the institutional context for why the network surface matters, but they do not mention Peder Bach.
Tolletaten's management-team page, updated May 2026, lists directors including the IT Division director, and Peder Bach is not among them.
Beyond the registry entry, several public records carry the same name but none is linked to PB23329-RIPE. A RIPE-derived mirror lists AS25201 (PCB-AS) with org-name Peder Christian Bach, yet its contacts point to a different handle. The Norwegian business registry shows a deleted sole proprietorship for Peder Christian Bach that ended in February 2021 with no connection to Tolletaten. A entity list from a 2023 Norwegian network operator event includes a Peder Bach from Altibox, and Nordea's Denmark leadership page names a Peder Bach as Country Senior Executive.
Without a direct tie to PB23329-RIPE or AS212064, these records serve only as warnings against identity collision.
The operating surface for Peder Bach is therefore limited to what the registry exposes: an administrative and technical contact reference for an autonomous system used by a government agency. The surface can guide due diligence, but it does not establish personal control over the ASN, its prefixes, or the agency's customs IT systems. If the contact fields change, it might signal a shift in responsibility for Tolletaten's network registration, which is why monitoring is warranted. However, no public evidence places Peder Bach inside Digitoll operations, procurement, incident response, or policy decisions.
Watchpoints start with live RIPE verification. Before any public update, the RDAP entries for AS212064 and entity PB23329-RIPE should be refreshed, because contact fields can change without news coverage. The maintainer entity MNT-TOLL and associated route entities for prefixes 188.240.90.0/23 and 2a05:6140::/32 must be followed, as must the routing relationships with AS2116 and AS25201. Any change could alter the public path for tracing Tolletaten's network surface.
Crucially, the profile must remain separate from the same-name records at Altibox, Nordea, and the deleted Norwegian sole proprietorship unless a public source explicitly ties one to the handle. Editorial imagery should avoid portraits and personal-likeness assumptions, using instead a customs-infrastructure or registry-traceability scene.
The evidence supports a narrow registry-contact profile, not a biography. The 12 sources used include RIPE RDAP and WHOIS pages, official Tolletaten descriptions, a RIPE documentation page on database structure, and disambiguation records. All reinforce that Peder Bach is, in public view, a name on a network contact, not a verified individual with decision-making power.
Operating Surface
The verified public operating context is network-registry traceability around AS212064/TOLL-NO, an autonomous-system record associated with Tolletaten ORGL and Norwegian Customs' external network surface. The materiality comes from Tolletaten's customs and Digitoll role, while Peder Bach is verified only as the PB23329-RIPE registry contact or role name in RIPE-derived and RDAP-addressable context.
Peder Bach, resolved narrowly as the public name attached to RIPE contact or role handle PB23329-RIPE in AS212064/TOLL-NO registry-derived context for Tolletaten ORGL; public evidence does not verify a current standalone biography, job title, employer affiliation, or personal authority role. The subject matters as a registry traceability marker around Tolletaten's externally visible Internet-resource records.
Changes to PB23329-RIPE, MNT-TOLL, AS212064 route-origin material, or the associated RIPE entity chain could change how analysts follow the public registration surface for a customs authority with material import/export and digital customs-processing responsibilities. The consequence is public infrastructure due diligence and identity-collision control, not a evidence-led claim about personal authority or Digitoll operations.
Watchpoints
The subject's intelligence value resides entirely in registry traceability for a government agency's network. Because Tolletaten operates a critical customs infrastructure and is digitising border processing, any change in its network registration surface could carry operational significance. Monitoring PB23329-RIPE for turnover, contact detail updates, or maintainer changes provides a low-cost signal of possible administrative shifts. However, without verified identity, the handle cannot support deeper analysis of personnel or procurement decisions.
- Any update to AS212064 RDAP record or PB23329-RIPE entity. 2. Changes in MNT-TOLL maintainer or associated route entities (188.240.90.0/23, 2a05:6140::/32). 3. Appearance of a new staff page or official biography linking the name to Tolletaten. 4. Public record that connects a same-name individual (e.g., Nordea executive, Altibox attendee) to this handle—would require reassessment of identity collision risk.
No official Tolletaten staff biography, employer profile, or RIPE biographical page connects Peder Bach to PB23329-RIPE. It is unclear if the handle is a personal contact or a role account. No job title, reporting line, or operational responsibility is publicly documented. No verified photograph exists. Collection should focus on monitoring Tolletaten's website for personnel rosters, Norwegian civil service directories, or professional networking profiles that explicitly link the name to network operations at the agency.
