Trust Nobody, Log Everything, and Please Just Deploy IPv6

Route leaks and route hijacks continue to destabilise the global routing system, with significant consequences for network operators and their customers.

Certificate Transparency (CT), defined in RFC 6962, provides a mechanism for publicly logging TLS certificates in a way that allows anyone to audit Certificate Authority activity and detect the issuance of suspect or unauthorised certificates.

With IPv4 exhaustion long established, the global transition to IPv6 is well underway — but how do we actually measure progress, and where does South Africa stand? This presentation examines why continued migration to IPv6 remains critically important, the methodologies available for tracking adoption across networks and regions, and what the data reveals about the state of IPv6 uptake in South Africa and on the broader African continent.
