"Bolstering the security of inter-domain routing"

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which is the default routing protocol for directing traffic between organizations such as ISPs and Autonomous Systems, will be undergoing improvements to secure the inter-domain routing traffic exchange. The NIST is developing a Special Publication (SP 800-189- in preparation) to offer recommendations for the secure use of Inter-domain protocols and routing technologies. This article discusses the potential consequences posed by BGP's lack of built-in security and details of NIST’s new development.
