Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Cipherkey
residential isp canada cable
The AS handle CIPHERKEY is operated by Cipherkey Exchange Corp.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business internet access, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to
tpia.cipherkey.comand netnames such asLS-CGNT-NET-1andCIPHERTV-CGNT-NET-1. - The AS announces 141,824 IPv4 addresses across 43 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 18 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are listed as Cipherkey Exchange Corp., aligning with the AS holder, though one prefix (192.197.96.0/20) is registered to Freedman Sharp and Associates.
- The address inventory is composed of multiple /19 and /20 blocks, including a large /17 block, indicating a substantial and segmented allocation for customer-facing services.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
