Today, a draft law has been submitted to the State Duma on the need to ensure the operation of the Russian segment of the Internet in the event of disconnection from foreign servers. The documents were prepared by a group of deputies headed by Andrei Klishas, head of the Federation Council Committee on Legislation.
“An opportunity is being created to minimize the transfer of data abroad that Russian users exchange with each other,” — TASS. For this purpose, points of connection of Russian networks to foreign ones will be determined. In turn, the owners of points, telecom operators, are obliged to ensure the possibility of centralized traffic management in the event of a threat.
To ensure the autonomous operation of the Runet in Russian networks, “technical means” will be installed that determine the source of traffic. Such tools, if necessary, will help "restrict access to resources with prohibited information not only by network addresses, but also by prohibiting the passage of passing traffic."
In addition, for the operation of the Russian segment of the Internet in an isolated mode, it is planned to create a national DNS system.
“In order to ensure the stable functioning of the Internet, a national system for obtaining information about domain names and (or network addresses) is being created as a set of interrelated software and hardware designed to store and receive information about network addresses in relation to domain names, including those included in the Russian national domain zone, as well as authorization for resolving domain names, ”the document states.
The document itself was prepared “taking into account the aggressive nature of the US national cybersecurity strategy adopted in September 2018”, which proclaims the principle of “keeping peace by force”, and Russia, among other countries, “is directly and without evidence accused of committing hacker attacks.”
The document introduces the need to conduct regular exercises among government officials, telecom operators and owners of technological networks to identify threats and work out measures to restore the Russian Internet segment to working capacity.
According to this document, the government of the Russian Federation determines the procedure for centralized response to threats to the performance of the Internet and the public communication network for the monitoring and control center. Response measures are planned to be determined, among other things, "in the course of monitoring the functioning of the technical elements of the public communication network."
The preparation of the issue of Runet autonomy did not begin now. Back in 2014, the Security Council instructed the relevant departments to study the security of the Russian-language segment of the Web. Then in 2016 that the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications plans to reach the figure of 99% regarding the transfer of Russian Internet traffic within the country. In 2014, the same figure was 70%.
According to the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, Russian traffic partially passes through external exchange points, which does not guarantee the failure-free operation of the Runet in the event of a shutdown of foreign servers. The main critical elements of the infrastructure are the national top-level domain zones, the infrastructure that ensures their operation, as well as systems of traffic exchange points, lines and means of communication.
In 2017, the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the need to create an autonomous system of root servers in the BRICS countries. “... A serious threat to Russia's security is the increased ability of Western countries to conduct offensive operations in the information space and readiness to use them. The dominance of the United States and a number of countries of the European Union in matters of Internet network management remains, ”the materials of last year’s meeting of the Security Council said.
