RPKI's Role in Strengthening BGP While Uncovering Its Own Challenges
RPKI Challenges and BGP Security
RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) was heralded as the remedy to BGP's (Border Gateway Protocol) persistent weaknesses, but it is not without its own issues. With the White House’s significant investment in RPKI, concerns about its maturity and effectiveness are rising.
Key Issues with RPKI
- Insufficient adoption rates among ISPs.
- Complex implementation leading to errors.
- Risk of centralization undermining redundancy.
Community Response and Future Directions
As the tech community addresses these RPKI issues, ongoing discussions are crucial to enhance BGP’s security. Stakeholders must evaluate alternative methods and improve current strategies to mitigate risks effectively and ensure a resilient internet infrastructure.
