Dear all,

following up on the discussions we've had around regional regulatory
trends and their impact on IG this latest insight from RIPE's Maxim
Burtikov might useful. It includes references to local plans on banning
DoH/DoT which might be of particular interest:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/maxim_burtikov/russia-regulatory-update
(I'm also inserting the text herein below for your direct reference).

I realize we have RIPE Cooperation Working Group members on this list -
curious if it might be useful to join forces and explore the impact this
legislative initiative might have on global IG (if any). Should we be
looking for a venue for such discussion, let me note that the At-Large
always welcomes IG related discussions, be it just in the form of a
capacity building webinar as a starting point for further policy
discussion.

Many thanks and all best wishes,
Joanna Kulesza

Russia Regulatory Update
Maxim Burtikov ? 11 Nov 2020

This is the first in a series of updates on Russian Internet regulation
where we?ll be bringing you a brief overview of the most pertinent
digital policies currently being proposed, debated and implemented in
Russia. While we?re not aiming to give a complete overview of all of the
existing legislation, we?ll be covering those provisions and trends most
likely to impact, and so be of interest to, the RIPE Community.

If there?s an overarching trend in recent Russian regulatory
developments, it?s the focus on digital sovereignty and the demand for
more local knowledge and control over the Internet infrastructure and data.
Legislative proposal on banning ?masking web-protocols? (TLS 1.3, DoT,
DoH...)

On 21 September 2020, the Ministry of Digital Development, Telecom and
Mass Communications introduced a new legislative proposal to ban the use
of encryption protocols that effectively secure and mask DNS queries ?
such as DNS Over TLS (DoT) and DNS Over HTTPS (DoH). Motivating this
proposal is the concern that users may be able to access content that is
blocked in Russia by using these protocols.

According to the proposal, there would be a requirement to block any
Internet resource using such protocols within one working day of finding
out that these protocols were in use. How exactly this blocking might be
done has not been specified, but other existing legislation for illegal
content blocking allows for a broad spectrum of methods ranging from
blocking specific URLs all the way to blocking the entire IP address
ranges that host the service. It is also unclear from the text of the
proposal what is included under ?Internet resource?. The term itself is
usually used to describe websites, but listed protocols can be used, for
example, by a browser.

The Minister commented on the proposal, saying that while it is obvious
that DNS encryption protocols have certain advantages, it is also clear
that they can be used to bypass the established content-blocking and
parental control mechanisms. He also called for a compromise to be found
between public and private interests.

The bill was published for public comments (deadline was 5 October
2020). The RIPE NCC took part in an industry consultation meeting which
presented a document with comments from the industry. The industry has
voiced concerns, for instance that direct implementation of the
initiative might effectively lead to a ban on encrypted traffic.

The initiative follows the planned Internet security drills, which took
place earlier in 2020, which were used to train to block DoT and DoH
traffic. Such drills are conducted regularly with major ISPs
participation (see more on this below).
Sovereign Internet Bill

Federal Law #90 (1 May 2019) aims to expand knowledge and increase
control over local Internet infrastructure, including establishing new
means for blocking illegal content.

According to the law, all ISPs, owners of technical networks, AS
holders, IXPs and owners of communication lines crossing the national
border must install special equipment on their networks to be provided
by the regulator. That equipment will be used to block illegal and
forbidden content.

In case of an emerging threat to integrity, security, resilience of
local segment of Internet, the regulator is authorised to manage traffic
routing directly or to provide obligatory routing policies to ISPs, AS
holders, etc.

Operators, ISPs, owners of technical networks, AS holders, IXPs, and
owners of communication lines crossing the national border must report
their ASNs and respective IP addresses, routing policies, local and
foreign network infrastructure, and so on, to the regulator.

IXPs are required to register with the regulator and follow regulatory
rules, including rules regarding their resiliency and the stability of
their operations. ISPs need to peer only via officially registered IXPs
or via direct peering, which has to be reported. IXPs must not let
clients connect to their network if they are not fulfilling the
provisions of the law

Additionally, the National Domain Name System - characterised as a
?complex/combination of interconnected software and technical means used
to store and provide information about network addresses and domain
names? ? has been established. The aim of the system is to ensure that
local connectivity and reachability of web resources remain intact if
foreign DNS infrastructure becomes unavailable. It must be updated no
less than once every 24 hours to ensure that it contains up-to-date
information about domain names and respective IP addresses.

The law also formalises Internet security drills, which will be hosted
regularly with participation being obligatory for ISPs and operators.
One of the drills scheduled for early 2020 was intended to train systems
to block DoT and DoH traffic, as mentioned above. There were four drills
planned for 2020 in total, but because of COVID-19 none have yet taken
place.

The local database of all Internet resources is currently being
compiled, with all ASN holders receiving requests from the regulator to
report the above-mentioned data about their resources and
infrastructure. It has been officially noted by Russian government
officials that the law is aimed at establishing more security and
resilience of a ?Russian segment of Internet?.
Anti-Terrorism Bill

Federal Law #374 (6 June 2016), part of the so-called 'Anti-Terrorism
Bill', included new regulation on legal interception and Internet data
collection. It has expanded what data needs to be stored and how. The
law is not new, but part of its implementation is being postponed due to
COVID-19 and its economic impact on the industry.

According to the law, all metadata about packets being sent, received,
delivered, or processed, as well as respective information about users,
must be stored for one year by Internet companies or for three years by
licensed telecommunications operators.

Internet companies and operators must store content - all voice, images,
texts, audio, video and any other type of information for six months
from when they were sent, received, delivered, processed.

Since traffic volumes are growing rapidly, operators must increase their
storage capacity by 15% annually in the next five years after data
storage equipment has been installed. If packets are encrypted, then
decryption methods and information must be provided to law enforcement
agencies (the blocking of Telegram was based on that provision).

All of the mentioned data needs to be stored using locally certified
data storage equipment, and law enforcement must be granted direct
access to that information.

The Russian government has made several postponements to the date of
when the collection and storage of data needs to begin, and to the
deadline for storage capacity increase - the industry is asking for a
deadline postponement because of the economic impacts of COVID-19, and
considering the size of investment needed to deploy data storage
equipment in full accordance with the law.
