> 
> Dear AfriNIC Members and Colleagues,
> 
> As part of our ongoing commitment to support Internet infrastructure
> development and ensure a safer and secure Internet for all (including routing
> security), we are pleased to announce the launching of our Resource
> Certification program.
> 
> Resource Certification is a security framework for verifying the association
> between Internet number resources (Internet addresses and/or Autonomous System
> Numbers) and their rightful holders. It is aimed at adding a verifiable form 
> of a holder's current right to use those resources over the Internet.
> 
> Over the past several years, a number of mechanisms have been under development
> for digital certification of Internet number resources, through the Resource
> Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI).
> 
> AfriNIC has launched, along with the other RIRs and in line with the Number
> Resource Organiza-tion (NRO) schedule, its RPKI program on the 1st of January
> 2011. With certificates issued by AfriNIC, members with IP addresses or AS 
> numbers will now have the possibility of issuing their own Route Origination 
> Authorisation (ROA) Certificate that will digitally certify that the routed 
> resources are officially assigned and certified by AfriNIC. 
> 
> The RPKI platform  will also offer several other opportunity to members to 
> digitally ascertain their right to use resources allocated to them by AfriNIC.
> 
> For more info on how to use please see:
