Making progress on routing security: the new White House roadmap

The White House has issued a roadmap to enhance internet routing security, highlighting the importance of securing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and addressing concerns related to its vulnerabilities. The report recommends that all networks create and publish Route Origin Authorization (ROA) records, while encouraging network service providers to fully deploy ROV and implement other best practices. It also proposes using federal government's purchasing power to encourage routing security measures among contracted service providers and broadband grant recipients. The roadmap acknowledges the need for ongoing work in securing relationships between individual networks through BGPsec and ASPA, as well as the formalization of customer roles through RFC9234.
