Who's running all those tiny RPKI servers?
This article explores the ecosystem of small, independent servers that contribute to the global RPKI dataset, which helps secure internet routing. It explains the role of RPKI in preventing BGP prefix hijacking.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) lacks built-in trust, leaving the Internet routing layer exposed to accidental or malicious prefix hijacks. Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) addresses that problem by letting address space holders cryptographically authorize which Autonomous System (AS) may originate their prefixes, via Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) published through a chain of trust anchored at the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).
