APNIC conducted the audit on internet address management agencies in seven countries, including Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Japan, and China.

This inspection covered approximately ten years of internet address allocation history.

KISA conducted a self-audit of the allocation records and related data for about 112 million IPv4 addresses, 5,261 IPv6 address blocks, and 1,105 Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) allocated to 1,097 member organizations in Korea, including telecommunications operators and businesses. KISA also responded to APNIC's verification requests.

As a result of the audit, the current address resource management system—which allows domestic operators' IP address applications to be processed domestically without individual APNIC verification—can continue to be maintained.

Beginning in the second half of this year, KISA plans to open a "routing security testbed" to member organizations and will provide guidance on registering Route Origin Authorizations needed to establish routing security systems. Through this, KISA will also support domestic telecommunications operators and companies in introducing routing security frameworks.

Lee Sangjoong, President of KISA, said, "We will systematically manage address resources in accordance with international standards and support the adoption of routing security systems by domestic telecommunications operators and companies to ensure a safe internet environment."
