Title: BGP Security Vulnerabilities Analysis
State: Pending
Authors: Sandra Murphy
Group: Inter-Domain Routing (idr)
Date: 2004-10-18
Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4), along with a host of other
infrastructure protocols designed before the Internet environment became
perilous, was originally designed with little consideration for protection
of the information it carries. There are no mechanisms internal to the BGP
protocol to protect against attacks that modify, delete, forge, or replay
data, any of which has the potential to disrupt overall network routing
behavior. This internet draft discusses some of the security issues with
BGP routing data dissemination. This internet draft does not discuss
security issues with forwarding of packets.
