This post introduces Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) as a cryptographic method to secure BGP routing, addressing the pervasive issues of route leaks and hijacks. Cloudflare announces its commitment to deploying RPKI and outlines the basic concepts of BGP, ASNs, and CIDRs, contrasting RPKI with the less secure Internet Routing Registry (IRR) system. It emphasizes RPKI's role in securing route origins and Cloudflare's leadership in promoting its adoption for global BGP security.
