(R)Evolutionary Bootstrapping of a Global PKI for Securing BGP
Overview Most secure routing proposals require the existence of a global Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) to bind a public/ private key-pair to a prefix, in order to authenticate route originations of that prefix. A major difficulty in secure routing deployment is the mutual dependency between the routing protocol and the establishment of a globally trusted PKI for prefixes and ASes: cryptographic mechanisms used to authenticate BGP Update messages require a PKI, but without a secure routing infrastructure in place, Internet registries and ISPs have little motivation to invest in the development and deployment of this PKI. This paper proposes a radically different mechanism to resolve this dilemma: an evolutionary Grassroots-PKI that bootstraps by letting any routing entity announce self-signed certificates to claim their address space.
