Individuals and institutions can divest in \"socially irresponsible\" ISPs directly by refusing to peer with or purchase transit from these ISPs, or indirectly by avoiding paths through these ISPs. While the economics of divesting in ISPs and mechanisms for exerting more control over Internet paths have been previously studied, a major challenge remains: how do individuals and institutions assess whether an ISP is socially responsible? Large institutions may have the resources to research which ISPs are socially (ir)responsible, but most individuals and institutions lack these resources, thereby limiting their ability to effect social change. We address this challenge by designing a system for automatically assessing ISPs along various dimensions of social responsibility---e.g., environmental stewardship, censorship actions, or net neutrality practices. In particular, we gather publicly accessible web pages which discuss a particular ISP and social issue and apply stance detection---a natural language processing technique for determining a subject's attitude or commitment toward an object---to compute a \"socially responsibility\" score for individual ISPs and dimensions of social responsibility. We construct a data set over 600 web pages relating to net neutrality and 13 ISPs of varying sizes, and show our framework achieves 71% accuracy in determining an ISP's stance.","PeriodicalId":294973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2021 Workshop on Technologies, Applications, and Uses of a Responsible Internet","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116167535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such architecture with an increasing production deployment is SCION [23], which also includes a transition mechanism to support an incremental deployment and coexistence with the legacy IP-based Internet: the SCION-IP gateway. This mechanism---and similar mechanisms in other next-generation architectures---requires a distributed system to translate between old (IP) and new (SCION) addresses at an Internet scale and must connect the different public-key infrastructures to enable secure operation. In this paper, we describe such a system for the SCION architecture. A gossip protocol distributes mappings between legacy IP and SCION addresses throughout the SCION network, and SCION's control-plane PKI and the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) protect the authenticity of the individual mappings. We provide a prototype implementation and demonstrate that it scales to today's Internet with approximately one million IP prefixes.","PeriodicalId":294973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2021 Workshop on Technologies, Applications, and Uses of a Responsible Internet","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130632749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such cyber-physical systems require more insight into the properties of network operators (e.g., in terms of the security posture of their equipment) and more control over which network operators transport their data, thus going well beyond the traditional security paradigm which the Internet security community currently focuses on (confidentiality, availability, and integrity). In this work-in-progress paper we propose the UPIN framework, which aims to fulfill these new trust requirements. The framework advances the state-of-the-art by defining components needed to incorporate transparency, accountability, and controllability into the Internet or other types of inter-domain networks. The framework is based on our analysis of a smart grid use case to understand the specific needs of critical service providers and a literature study on existing technologies. We also discuss our ongoing work, and the demands and challenges of implementing and deploying the UPIN framework.","PeriodicalId":294973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2021 Workshop on Technologies, Applications, and Uses of a Responsible Internet","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127793375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus on a single high-level task (to provide secure and reliable end-to-end communications), and other characteristics such as resource/load distribution and decentralization of control, are fruitful properties to bring to the foreground fundamental dimensions which are generally overlooked in the responsible AI discourse: the pluralism of policies that may be in place, of expectations that may be taken into account, of their mechanisms of production and update, and their entrenchment in operationalization. Elaborating on a recent proposal on responsible Internet, the paper aims to provide a wider view of what is needed for networking to become a responsible type of computing, providing arguments for an architecture accounting for dynamic higher-level policies and expectation artefacts.","PeriodicalId":294973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2021 Workshop on Technologies, Applications, and Uses of a Responsible Internet","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123658846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work sheds light on default routing in the Internet, a routing strategy that reduces control but may help to increase availability when forwarding packets. We revisit and extend two common methodologies based on active measurements to increase coverage and accuracy. Our results show larger differences in the results between the methodologies. We confirm that default route deployment strongly correlates with the customer cone size of autonomous systems and that smaller networks are more likely to deploy a default route. Our data will help to better assess the deployment of other protocols such as RPKI route origin filtering.","PeriodicalId":294973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2021 Workshop on Technologies, Applications, and Uses of a Responsible Internet","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128285493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
