BGPsec

Border Gateway Protocol Security (BGPsec) is a security extension of the Border Gateway Protocol defined in RFC 8205, published in September 2017. BGPsec provides to receivers of valid BGPsec UPDATE messages cryptographic verification of the routes they advertise.[1] BGPsec replaces the BGP AS_PATH attribute with a new BGPsec_Path attribute.[2]
