Is it also possible to use a distributed ledger such as Blockchain to secure BGP? BGP provides decentralized connectivity across the Internet. Blockchain provides decentralized secure transactions in a append-only, tamper-resistant ledger. This document reviews possible opportunities of using Blockchain to secure BGP policies within a domain and across the global Internet.}, }
