One Hop for RPKI, One Giant Leap for BGP Security
Avichai Cohen, Yossi Gilad, Amir Herzberg, Michael Schapira · 2015
Extensive standardization and R&D efforts are dedicated to establishing secure interdomain routing. These efforts focus on two complementary mechanisms: origin authentication with RPKI, and path validation with BGPsec. However, while RPKI is finally gaining traction, the adoption of BGPsec seems not even on the horizon. This is due to inherent, possibly insurmountable, obstacles, including the need to replace today's routing infrastructure, meagre benefits in partial deployment and online cryptography.
