The White House has published a roadmap this week with its top recommendations for improving the security of internet routing protocols.
The document [PDF] specifically looks at ways of improving the security of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the technology responsible for directing internet traffic between different networks across all the globe.
The White House started looking into BGP security in 2022 as part of a concerted US government effort to secure internet routing and prevent foreign actors from hijacking traffic from American networks using attacks known as BGP hijacks.
