Improving Routing Security Using a Decentralized Public Key Distribution Algorithm
… critical applications on local networks and the global Internet. The security of this infrastructure has been called into question over the last decade. In particular, the protocols directing traffic through the network have been found to be vulnerable. One such protocol is the Open Shortest Path …

Securing Internet Routing: Measuring and Improving the Resource Public Key Infrastructure
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) underpins global Internet routing among thousands of Autonomous Systems (ASes) but lacks built-in security. The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) enhances BGP security by verifying route authenticity through Route Origin Validation (ROV). However, its …

Distributed Internet security and measurement
The Internet has developed into an important economic, military, academic, and social resource. It is a complex network, comprised of tens of thousands of independently operated networks, called Autonomous Systems (ASes). A significant strength of the Internet's design, one which enabled its rapid …
