Working Group 6 Secure BGP Deployment

• Short Description  The Border Gateway Protocol
  (BGP) controls inter-domain packet traffic
  routing on the entire global Internet. BGP
  relies on trust among operators of gateway
  routers to ensure the integrity of the Internet
  routing infrastructure. Over the years, this
  trust has been compromised on a number of
  occasions, revealing fundamental weaknesses of
  this critical infrastructure.
• This Working Group will recommend the
  framework for industry regarding incremental
  adoption of secure routing procedures and
  protocols based on existing work in industry and
  research. The framework will include specific
  technical procedures and protocols. The framework
  will be proposed in a way suitable for opt-in by
  large Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in order
  to create incentives for a wider scale,
  incremental ISP deployment of secure BGP
  protocols and practices in a market-driven,
  cost-effective manner.
• Duration August 2011 March 2013

Working Group 6 - Next Steps

• WG Kickoff meeting
• Adoption of milestones by WG members
• Assignment of responsibilities to WG members
• Recommendations for deployment strategy
• Note The objectives of this Working Group do
  not overlap the standards committees work.
