"All Dutch Govt Networks to Use RPKI to Prevent BGP Hijacking"

The Dutch government will enhance the security of its Internet routing by using the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) standard before the end of 2024. RPKI, or Resource Certification, protects against malicious or accidental rerouting of Internet traffic through cryptographic verification of the routes. The standard uses digital certificates to secure the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) used to exchange routing information and to ensure that traffic is routed through the legitimate network operator controlling the IP addresses along the destination path. Standardization Forum in the Netherlands, a research and advisory organization serving the public sector on the use of open standards, has announced that by 2024, all communication devices (ICT) managed by the Dutch government must comply with the RPKI standard. This article continues to discuss the Dutch government upgrading the security of its Internet routing by adopting the RPKI standard.
