Abstract:
   This document describes a threat model for the context in which
   Exterior Border Gateway Protocol (EBGP) path security mechanisms will
   be developed.  The threat model includes an analysis of the Resource
   Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), and focuses on the ability of an
   autonomous system (AS) to verify the authenticity of the AS path info
   received in a BGP update.  We use the term PATHSEC to refer to any
   BGP path security technology that makes use of the RPKI.  PATHSEC
   will secure BGP, consistent with the inter-AS security focus of the
   RPKI.

   The document characterizes classes of potential adversaries that are
   considered to be threats, and examines classes of attacks that might
   be launched against PATHSEC.  It does not revisit attacks against
   unprotected BGP, as that topic has already been addressed in the
   BGP-4 standard.  It concludes with brief discussion of residual
   vulnerabilities.
