Verification of AS_PATH Using the Resource Certificate Public Key
Infrastructure and Autonomous System Provider Authorization
draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification-01
Abstract
This document defines the semantics of an Autonomous System Provider
Authorization object in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure to
verify the AS_PATH attribute of routes advertised in the Border
Gateway Protocol.

1. Introduction
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) was designed without mechanisms to
validate BGP attributes. Two consequences are BGP Hijacks and BGP
Route Leaks [RFC7908]. BGP extensions are able to partially solve
these problems. For example, ROA-based Origin Validation [RFC6483]
can be used to detect and filter accidental mis-originations, and
[I-D.ietf-grow-route-leak-detection-mitigation] can be used to detect
accidental route leaks. While these upgrades to BGP are quite
useful, they still rely on transitive BGP attributes, i.e. AS_PATH,
that can be manipulated by attackers.
BGPSec [RFC8205] was designed to solve the problem of AS_PATH
validation. Unfortunately, strict cryptographic validation brought
