RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure)

RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) 是什么?

RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure)A cryptographic infrastructure standardized by the IETF that lets resource holders publish signed Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) for their IP prefixes, so BGP routers can drop or deprioritize obviously invalid route announcements.


Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a hierarchical certificate-based infrastructure, standardized in RFCs 6480-onwards, that lets Internet number-resource holders cryptographically authorize which AS numbers may originate BGP routes for their IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes. Each Regional Internet Registry (ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC) anchors an RPKI hierarchy under which resource holders issue Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) tying a prefix to an origin ASN and a maximum prefix length. ISPs and IXPs run RPKI validators (Routinator, rpki-client, Fort, RPKI-validator-3) that download and verify the global ROA tree and feed validated state to BGP routers via the RPKI-to-Router (RTR) protocol; routers then mark incoming announcements as VALID, INVALID, or NOT FOUND and apply policy (typically rejecting INVALID). RPKI deployment took years to gain traction but accelerated after high-profile BGP hijacks (YouTube/Pakistan, MyEtherWallet 2018, Telstra/Cloudflare incidents) and is now considered baseline operational hygiene for transit ASNs. Many large content networks (Cloudflare, Google, Amazon) reject RPKI-invalid routes by default.

示例

  1. 01

    An ISP runs Routinator and configures its border routers to drop any BGP announcement that is RPKI-invalid, blocking accidental prefix-hijacks from misconfigured customers.

  2. 02

    An enterprise publishes ROAs for its IP space so that a hijacker announcing a more-specific from a different ASN gets dropped by RPKI-validating transit providers.
