There is a great deal of concern over the security of routing systems
within the Internet, particularly in relation to the Border Gateway
Protocol [BGP], which is used to provide routing information between
autonomous systems. This document proposes a system where the origin
of any advertisement within BGP can be verified and authenticated,
preventing the advertisement of prefix blocks by unauthorized
networks, and verifying that the final destination in the path is
actually within the autonomous system to which the packets are being
routed.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
