[ARIN-consult] Consultation on ACSP 2018.3

[Kevin Blumberg]

John,

The blueprint that Frank laid out is very sensible and doesn’t impact programmatic access.

This should be an ongoing process of improvement. Once implemented you should have a much better sense of how often requests are coming in that are not https.

Thanks,

Kevin Blumberg

There’s been some great discussion on this topic.  I’d like to suggest the following approach:

  *   No auto-redirection at this time
  *   But stop redirecting https://whois.arin.net<https://whois.arin.net/> to http://whois.arin.net/ui/, rather redirect them to https://whois.arin.net/ui. If they chose to go to the secure site, being redirected to the insecure site does not seem like a good idea.
  *   Make sure that all links from ARIN’s other sites to whois.arin.net<http://whois.arin.net/> are referring to the HTTPS one (that may already be the case, but I don’t know)
  *   Enable HSTS for whois.arin.net<http://whois.arin.net/> – if a web browser hits it intentionally then just keep doing it automatically.
  *   Provide some subtle feedback (perhaps an extra line/bar at the top of the page) to those web browsing the HTTP version of whois.arin.net<http://whois.arin.net/> to alert them that they are searching in the clear and provide a link to the secure version.
  *   Develop a long-term goal to migrate programmatic access to HTTPS


Frank -

   Excellent strawman proposal for moving forward - thank you for taking the time to express it with clarity!

All -

   Any specific objections or concerns with ARIN proceeding as proposed above?

Thanks!
